Drodzy uczestnicy, Po raz kolejny spotykamy się w Krynicy, tym razem w innym ośrodku. Po raz kolejny jest wiosna. O wiośnie można pisać długo, z mniejszym lub większym sensem, wszyscy w końcu lubimy kiedy się zieleni, świat ma inne wymiary, no a życie zaczyna płynąć wreszcie należycie. Zatem trzeba sprężyć ciało, do Krynicy 1 ruszyć śmiało, bo na ból i gorączki kreski dobry jest Żywiecki Beskid 2. Możemy tak długo, ale napiszmy coś o samym spotkaniu. W tym roku, prelegenci dopisali. Pierwszy raz rozważaliśmy na poważnie zrobienie sesji równoległych, zdecydowaliśmy jednak, że nie. Nie da się tak poustawiać referatów, żeby duża grupa słuchaczy nie chciała być na obu naraz. W efekcie sesje równoległe stają się coraz bardziej prostopadłe, co nie wychodzi konferencji i samemu Euklidesowi na dobre. Wychodząc na przeciw zeszłorocznym uwagom, będziemy się starać nienapakować programu, tak żeby zawsze pozostało wystarczająco dużo czasu na pytania, przerwę. W końcu Pingwinaria to nie szkolenia, tylko zlot, i przede wszystkim powinien być czas na spotkania. Wracając do wiosny, bo o Wiośnie można bez końca. Dwa zloty, Pingwinaria organizowane przez PLUG i Jesień Linuksowa współorganizowane między innymi przez PLUG odbywają się zawsze na południu Polski w okresach Równonocy. O ile pora wydaje się być optymalna trudno byłoby zorganizować zlot w czasie lata, kiedy połowa uczestników jest na innej półkuli, to wydaje się, że północ Polski jest wyraźnie pokrzywdzona. Należałoby może rozważyć przeniesienie Pingwinariów gdzieś bliżej morza (Bałtyckiego) lub przynajmniej bliżej centrum. Pisząc te słowa, myślę, że chyba nikt aż do tego miejsca nie doczyta bo chyba prawie nikt wstępniaków nie czyta, zatem pierwsza osoba, która zauważy ten fragment może się zgłosić do organizatorów po nagrodę. Nagroda raczej nie będzie bardzo cenna, ale warto się zgłosić, choćby po to, żeby ucieszyć nas faktem doczytania, pomimo szalejącej wiosny i hormonów z nią związanych. Doczytanie aż dotąd może ponadto zaoszczędzić przykrości związanych z wczesnym wstawaniem, nie jest prawdą, że planujemy zrywać was w piątek na poranną gimnastykę, jak napisaliśmy w Agendzie. 1 Z tą Krynicą to jest licentia poetica, gdyż oryginalne słowa nie nadają się dla młodzieży 2 ditto

Getting to Know Open Enterprise Server Novell As one investment analyst firm stated, We believe Linux is among the most powerful and disruptive emerging technologies in the world today. While Linux and the open source community looks appealing, many organizations still have many questions before they are willing to adopt Linux within their IT infrastructure. With years of experience in understanding the needs of enterprise customers, Novell is committed to answering these questions to ensure that all customers can benefit from all that Linux and open source have to offer. Supporting open source is nothing new to Novell. We ve been providing some of the benefits of open source to enterprise customers for a few years now. With NetWare 6 we focused on services, not just the kernel. We also included various components like Apache and Perl. With Nterprise Linux Services we delivered many traditional NetWare-only services on Linux. The acquisitions of Ximian and SUSE showed further commitment to providing open source and Linux based solutions to enterprise customers. With Open Enterprise Server 1, expected to ship by the end of 2004, we are bringing that experience and key technologies together. Why Open Enterprise Server? What is in Open Enterprise Server? 1 http://www.novell.com/products/openenterpriseserver

0A Novell Value for NetWare Maintenance or Upgrade protection Customers Value for Earlier NetWare Customers What about my Applications? Application Platform Alternative to Microsoft What do you think about Open Enterprise Server? Why Open Enterprise Server? Within Open Enterprise Server, customers will have choice and flexibility previously unavailable from a single product. They will be able to deploy just the services that they need. Additionally, Open Enterprise Server provides an alternative to current platform options. Why is Novell delivering Novell Open Enterprise Server, you ask? Many enterprises are now seeing the value that the open source community can bring to them. Through Open Enterprise Server, Novell addresses many of the concerns these customers may have. Many technology innovations from the open source community can now be available to better meet the needs of enterprise customers. Within Open Enterprise Server, customers will have choice and flexibility previously unavailable from a single product. They will be able to deploy just the services that they need. Additionally, Open Enterprise Server provides an alternative to current platform options. Many analyst firms have articulated various reasons why enterprises have only found limited uses for Linux. These reasons may be lack of access controls and security, poor directory integration, difficult migration processes, poor management tools and lack of desktop interoperability. Open Enterprise Server addresses these concerns by combining the best of enterprise networking technologies with the best of the open source community Novell Open Enterprise Server. Open Enterprise Server is a secure, highly-available platform that provides proven file, print, networking, and application services in an open environment. Unlike other server platforms that either force vendor lock-in or are not sufficiently supported for the enterprise level customer, Open Enterprise Server incorporates the best from both open source and enterprise networking leaders. Open Enterprise Server combines NetWare 2, the long-standing leader of secure, file, print and network management services, and SUSE LINUX 3, a leading open platform for delivering business level applications. Open Enterprise Server even includes directory synchronization capabilities, so you can integrate your systems, shipping with drivers that synchronize identity information between NT domains, Active Directory and edirectory. Additional drivers are available to integrate various other applications and directories. Only Novell is included in Gartner s magic quadrant for meta directory technology.
