Nikon 1 AW1 waterproof system camera
Mark Peters : September 24th 2013 - 15:30 CET
Nikon 1 AW1 digital camera :
Nikon announces the world's first shockproof and waterproof interchangeable lens camera - the Nikon 1 AW1 system camera. Waterproof to 15 meters, shockproof from heights of up to 2 meters, freeze-proof to -10°C, and fully dustproof, the Nikon 1 AW1 performs regardless of what Mother Nature might have in store. Launching together with two stylish water/shock/freeze-proof 1 NIKKOR AW lenses, this waterproof system camera captures the best of the action in any environment, and it won't look out of place at a chic city event either. Its durable, small, stylish design and fast operation means that high-quality photos and movies can be captured literally anywhere.
Nikon waterproof system camera
The quick precise Nikon 1 advanced hybrid AF (autofocus) system ensures that every picture is spot-on , and every movie looks smooth and natural. The 14.2-megapixel CX-format CMOS sensor offers an ISO range up to 6400 for beautiful low-light detail. The Nikon 1 AW1 enables carefree shooting at its best: With an adventure-proof build and continuous shooting speeds of up to 60 fps, and 15 fps with autofocus, you can capture every step of the action without worrying about the camera getting dusty, wet, or knocked out of your hands. An irresistible combination of robust functionality, classic minimalist design, and incredibly fast performance, the Nikon 1 AW1 camera and 1 NIKKOR AW lenses ensure you don't have to compromise on still image or movie quality, let alone style, because you have an active lifestyle.
Nikon 1 AW1 features
Action doesn't wait, and with the Nikon 1 AW1 you don't need to either. Nikon's Expeed 3A dual-processing engine powers continuous shooting at 15 fps with autofocus, and up to 60 fps with fixed-point auto-focus, giving you the ability to capture high-quality images of even super-fast action. The advanced hybrid AF system boasts fast phase-detection AF for high-speed movement, and contrast-detect AF for capturing subtle details. The CX-format CMOS sensor offers a 14.2-megapixel resolution, and the ISO range goes up to 6400 for beautiful low-light detail even when shooting at speeds of up to 60 fps.
Nikon 1 AW1 accessories
Keep the Nikon 1 AW1 waterproof camera safe and within reach using the water-resistant AN-N3000 camera strap or the AH-N6000 hand strap. Carry both the waterproof camera body and one of your 1 Nikkor AW lenses in the CF-N7000 water-resistant soft case. Get a firm, comfortable grasp even when you're shooting in extreme environments with the GR-N6000 Grip. Use the Nikon CF-N6000 silicone jacket to protect the edges of the camera from scratches and keep it looking good as new. Expected in Spring 2014, the SB-N10 underwater Speedlight is a powerful optional flash unit that can be used together with the Nikon 1 AW1. The Nikon SB-N10 will also be compatible with Nikon 1 underwater cases, enabling it to be used together with other Nikon 1 system cameras too.
Nikon 1 AW1 price
The Nikon 1 AW1 price is set at $799 USD (Nikon 1 AW1 body with 1 Nikkor 11-27.5mm lens) and $999 USD with 10mm f/2.8 added to make a two lens kit. Prices may vary from country to country. The Nikon 1 waterproof camera includes built-in GPS, altimeter and depth gauge, and its pop-up flash is also waterproof. The retail sales package includes the following products: Nikon EN-EL20 rechargeable Li-ion battery, Nikon MH-27 battery charger, USB cable, strap for on-land use, Nikon BF-N2000 body cap, Nikon PA-N1000 O-Ring protector, Nikon WP-G1000 silicon grease, Nikon ViewNX 2 software and the latest Short Movie Creator software.

As soon as we receive a Nikon 1 AW1 test sample, we will publish a sample photo gallery with high resolution pictures, followed by an in-depth Nikon 1 AW1 review. Visit the Nikon website for additional product information and availability of optional waterproof camera accessories.

AbstractUS Navy seeks high gain, high power multi-beam transmit antennas to support shipboard sensor, communication and EW functions, frequently simultaneously, anywhere in the hemisphere surrounding a ship. Modern ship antennas must also be low radar cross-section. To support these various functions, multi-beam transmit antennas need to support operation over a broad range of frequencies at least from L to Ku band, but growing to include Ka, Q and V bands (i.e. 1-18 GHz and growing to 50 GHz). Under this SBIR topic, ThinKom proposes a Low Cost, High Efficiency VICTS-based Multi-Beam Transmit Array architecture that takes advantage of the many ThinKom ground and air vehicle SATCOM COTM antenna products, plus the many advantages VICTS has demonstrated relative to conventional Electronically Steered Phased Arrays or ESAs. In Phase I ThinKom will continue investigations into multi-beam VICTS solutions for EW & SATCOM, low RCS VICTS applications, and other functional uses of VICTS, then initiate preliminary design of a representative transmit VICTS to evaluate RF performance and power handling. In Phase II, ThinKom will complete design, then build and test a transmit VICTS to demonstrate high EIRP and power handling over an extended range of scan angles and frequencies.

Move Over, Flickerstick
Dallas has some new reality show kings. A Dozen Furies has won The Battle for Ozzfest, a contest whose spoils include $60,000, a slew of new gear from Guitar Center, a spot on next year's Ozzfest and a recording contract with Sanctuary Records (home to Black Sabbath). The winners were announced on a live show Monday night following a week of online voting that pitted the Furies against North Carolina-based Cynder. Props to affable guitarist Marc Serrano, 25, who competed against seven other musicians from across the country, each representing a different group, in a contest that seemed hell-bent on making everyone involved look asinine. Some cast members didn't need any help, as the series made sure to pad the crew with empty-headed spazzes certain to make things (kind of) interesting. In the end, Serrano rose above it, managing to even rock a leather bikini onstage and somehow keep his dignity. It doesn't hurt that he's as adorable as a Pound Puppy. "Look at him, he's so cute," one of his band members said before the band performed Monday night. "I just wanna kiss him."
No, this does not mean the Old 97's are breaking up: Rhett Miller has signed a solo contract with Verve Music Group, the major-label home for Diana Krall, Jamie Cullum and Edie Brickell. Miller was dropped from Elektra (along with his band) following the release of his underrated solo debut, The Instigator. Miller will start recording sometime this spring along with returning members Jon Brion, who produced The Instigator, and Salim Nourallah, who played bass.
Marvelous things: Eisley has booked a CD release show at the Gypsy Tea Room on February 18 for their Reprise Records debut, Room Noises. The much-anticipated CD features 12 tracks, four of which have been previously released on their EPs ("Telescope Eyes," "Memories," "Marvelous Things" and "I Wasn't Prepared"). Not surprisingly, the CD is packed with moments of chilling beauty and a sound that is similar but more elegant, even playful. Just wish they'd change that name. Room noises? Sounds kinda dirty.
Remembering Tracey Sauerwein: Talk about your what-the-hell moments: Last week, The Dallas Morning News ran a short blurb on its Overnight page announcing that, on January 8, there would be a memorial service at the Laurel Land Funeral Home for Tracey Sauerwein, who, in the early 1990s, was rhythm guitarist in the Toadies. Not only was the announcement of her death a surprise, even to those who had known her for years, but so, too, was the fact that she had died more than a month earlier, on November 25. "That puzzled me," says former Toadies drummer Mark Reznicek. "I didn't know anything about it." Neither, apparently, did her former bandmates.

The cause of Sauerwein's death remains unclear: She apparently died on November 25 on the couch of her Dallas home and was found the following day by a relative, according to police accounts. The Dallas County Medical Examiner is awaiting a toxicology report before making any official ruling, says a spokesperson contacted January 11.
Though Sauerwein was in the Toadies only a short time--from early 1991, when she answered a guitarist-wanted ad in the Dallas Observer, till the summer of '92, when she was replaced by Darrel Herbert--and appears on only one official release, the cassette-only EP Velvet, she had a sizable impact on its sound. "She had a lot to do with the groove of 'Possum Kingdom,'" says Reznicek, who, before joining the Toadies, played with Sauerwein in a band called In the Midst. "She definitely made some contributions to the feel of the playing, because she was pretty good technically--a lot better than any of us at the time...And Velvet really captured the ferocious quality we had at the time."
After leaving the Toadies, Sauerwein went back to her job selling ads for The Wall Street Journal and, in 1996, released an EP with her band Hairstick.-- Robert Wilonsky

DIY-IT: How Linux and Open Source Are Bringing Do-It-Yourself to Information Technology
Without a doubt, Linux and open source are changing IT (Information Technology) at companies of every size. But how? When you read the IT magazines, go to the IT conferences and listen to the IT analysts, you get the same message you got ten or twenty years ago: vendors are in charge.
Of the 62 stories in Computerworld.com's current Week In Review (mid-November 2003), 51 stories, or 82%, are either about vendors—"Red Hat goes Live with Fedora"—or refer to vendors in their headlines—"IBM's Palmisano says US must innovate to keep jobs." In reality, though, vendors' and customers' IT worlds are steeped in a variety of development communities. Both vendors and customers develop goods for themselves, as well as for sale and for use by the rest of the world.
Over the past year, I've been on assignment by Linux Journal to study what's really happening in the IT marketplace and the deeper roles played by Linux and open-source development in that marketplace. My first report was "How Linux Makes Companies Smarter" /article/6585, in the July 2003 Linux Journal. This second report focuses on changes in IT itself. What I've found is an increasing reliance on personal and development community initiative and the freedom and trust making that possible. In sum, what I'm seeing is a do-it-yourself movement in companies everywhere, a growth in self-reliance I'm calling Do-It-Yourself IT (DIY-IT).
Phil Moore, the Executive Director of Enterprise Application Infrastructure for Morgan Stanley and Company, explains:
Open source has lowered the threshold at which do-it-yourself is possible. You can't do everything with building blocks from vendors. They pretend they're selling you a prefab building and they're not. They're selling you pipes and fittings and stuff to put it together.
In reality, to build an enterprise, you have to have a set of experts in your IT shop who can put it all together. Certainly, historically you need a lot of expertise to get anything done, because this stuff really isn't easy to put together. But if you've been led by the vendors to believe that everything dovetails together nicely, like you see in the .Net ads, or in any major marketing campaign that promises nirvana, you've got a problem.
You always need a certain amount of do-it-yourselfness. Consultants don't walk in, deliver an enterprise and walk out, saying "call me in six months for an upgrade." It's organic. An enterprise is changing constantly. Even the walls in your house right now are on their way to needing another paint job.
Although DIY-IT involves a reduction in dependency on vendors, it doesn't mean vendors are bad or that they don't play extremely important roles in the marketplace. It does mean that the marketplace no longer belongs to them. It means a new balance of power exists between supply and demand as does a new division of responsibilities between vendor, customer and development communities. It seems the software business is growing up.
In this report, we look at several key factors involved in the DIY-IT movement: what leadership really means, the role of the Net, the rewards of courage, the cost-savings imperative, valuing talent, where we stand, untold stories and perspective.
Looking to leaders for leadership is natural. But what about the leadership of developments that have no direct leader—developments where the leadership comes largely from within, from shared conviction and the practices that express it?
That's what we have with Linux, with free software and with open source. Linux is a development project, not a company. It is not contained by a corporate structure. Like a tectonic plate, it is held together by cohesion more than by organizational forces. Free software and open source are value systems and development methodologies. To treat them strictly as populations or as classes of goods is to miss the nature and scope of what they're about.
The Net not only supports much of what we now take for granted in the technical world, it puts everybody and everything in a position to get more connected, more informed, more intelligent. Public bits outsmart secret ones, even if secret ones still have economic and other forms of value.
Craig McLane, VP of Technology at Ticketmaster, puts it this way:
The best thing about the Internet, to me, is it mitigates tremendously the friction imposed by time and distance. You can take people who have individual passions and great talents, unite them and eliminate many of the obstacles to communications.
The Open Source community truly is global, and that matters an awful lot to us. We're an international company and we like access to very smart people worldwide as we grow—people who still are accessible and relatively close-knit.
The notion that you can take part in this community, do great things, be supported and foster this whole breeding ground of innovation is absolutely incredible.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
On Demand
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Rising out of the ruts of the Oregon Trail, The BARN offers an exquisite get away. Our guests can sit back and relax to watch the sun set on the Western horizon. If you are very quiet, you can almost hear the echoes of the past, the rumblings of wagons heading West. Awake in the morning to a delicious Barn breakfast in our cozy dining room or in our panoramic sun room. The four guest rooms are furnished with turn of century furniture. The barn is decorated with Western America and Native American art and trail regalia from the owners trail rides. The second floor balcony overlooks Mitchell Pass where the Oregon, California, and Pony Express trails headed West. It makes a great place watch the sun come up and have a steaming cup of coffee. Stroll through the courtyard and relax in the tree swing or hammock. We feature a gourmet breakfast the includes a fresh fruit, a meat dish, baked French toast, baked frittatas, or blueberry bread pudding just to mention a few. Homemade chokecherry syrup is the central focus of many of our breakfasts. We are just a few miles from Scotts Bluff National Monument, Chimney Rock, and many places to hike, canoe, fish, bike, horseback ride, golf. We offer exquisite package deals to local restaurants for fine dining.

My husband and I stayed at Barn Anew June 20, 2015. This place is a "diamond in the bluff"!!!! Cher and Allen were awesome hosts and a pleasure to chat with! The "barn" is relaxing and a stroll through the garden is peaceful! We live in Kentucky, my husband is from Scottsbluff, and we will stay here each time we visit! We highly recommend the B&B!! Take time to listen to the history behind the barn!!! Thanks Cher and Allen!! We have recommended to our friends to come stay with you!!!!

This B&B is exactly what is advertised on their website. Have seen too many B&B's where the photos didn't reflect reality. Hosts are gracious, food is plentiful and tasty and the rooms are very clean. Great location just outside the national monument and very very quiet. We will be back the next time we are in that area.

The owners are the nicest people we ever met. They sit and chat, offer and suggest anything you might be interested in. They have the most incredible background to happily share. Our stay was simply wonderful and we would adore returning. We loved the location, away from the city but still close.

overall a lovely stay but found it a bit chilly with the air conditioning, which we had no control over.

Cher and Allan were great hosts and the house is like a combination art and history museum. The view from the Rendezvous Room to Mitchell Pass in Scotts Bluff was lovely.

We loved the whole adventure at Barn Anew. Breakfast was fabulous as was the host and hostess All good So much to see and do.. We appreciated everything they did for us.

The Maybees have preserved many treasured antiques that tell the story of our western pioneers and the Native American tribes that must be remembered. We leave with a deeper appreciation of America.

This was a first time stay at a B&B. I will do this again, being here is wonderful, quiet, and very enjoyable. Mostly I liked the historical tour. Thank you Barn Anew.

Check to see if there's an unbalanced load inside the appliance and if it's level on the surface.
If your washing machine isn't filling with water the issue could be with the hoses, filters, or even the pressure chamber. This is something which would require troubleshooting by an engineer.
Regularly check to see if the filters are clean. Usually they can be found on the bottom of the appliance.

Dr. Dee
by Damon Albarn
- Record Label: Virgin
- Release Date: May 8, 2012
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
May 9, 2012Perhaps it is a bit stuffy and hidebound for art rock, but taken as a theatrical production, it's adventurously cerebral, an album to ponder if not quite embrace.
May 8, 2012Dr Dee is more of a musical fog made for sipping tea while blankly gazing onto a desolate street.
May 7, 2012The biggest draw comes in the folk-leaning songs. Beginning with "Apple Carts" and concluding with "The Dancing King" there is an Albarn solo album of sorts here, hidden among the stern runes.
May 7, 2012Dr Dee indicates both Albarn's continuing interest in experimentation and his resolute songwriting skills, but doesn't always make for the easiest listen.
May 4, 2012Melancholy of tone, it occasionally attains the antique industry of Michael Nyman's early Peter Greenaway scores, but the overall effect is more akin to the musical equivalent of a mock-tudorbethan semi.
May 23, 2012An ambitious and unexpected move, sure, but the mix of period strings, vocal choruses and West African percussion (plus Albarn's gloomy score) makes for a dense term paper.
May 9, 2012Clearly Damon is pleased to be carving a niche in the world of high art, but perhaps 'Dr Dre The Opera: Nuthin' But An ENO Thang' might have served his legend better.
May 8, 2012But extracting a narrative from these delicate sounds can feel like more trouble than they're worth--even if you haven't half as much happening as Albarn does.
May 4, 2012Despite the many hugely talented performers involved, Dr Dee is less philosopher's stone, and more curate's egg: a handful of fine songs where Albarn plays to his existing strengths, but mired in a sea of over-reaching folly. And ultimately, both Dee and Albarn deserve better.
May 8, 2012Unfortunately, an undertaking as complicated as Dr Dee needs all the accessibility that would-be fans can get. And instead it's nothing more than rabbit-hole music for Dr. Damon.
Q MagazineJun 20, 2012Even utterly dedicated Albarn fans will be hard-pushed to force themselves to play it more than once. [Jun 2012, p.107]
May 7, 2012There isn't one song on Dr. Dee that forces its way into the world the way something like "Feel Good, Inc." or "Parklife" did.

Feed for Planet Debian.
I write free software and I have some users. My primary support channels are over email and IRC, which means I do not have direct access to the system where my software runs. When one of my users has a problem, we go through one or more cycles of them reporting what they see and me asking them for more information, or asking them to try this thing or that thing and report results. This can be quite frustrating.
I want, nay, need to improve this. I've been thinking about this for a while, and talking with friends about it, and here's my current ideas.
First idea: have a script that gathers as much information as possible, which the user can run. For example, log files, full configuration, full environment, etc. The user would then mail the output to me. The information will need to be anonymised suitably so that no actual secrets are leaked. This would be similar to Debian's package specific reportbug scripts.
Second idea: make it less likely that the user needs help solving their issue, with better error messages. This would require error messages to have sufficient explanation that a user can solve their problem. That doesn't necessarily mean a lot of text, but also code that analyses the situation when the error happens to include things that are relevant for the problem resolving process, and giving error messages that are as specific as possible. Example: don't just fail saying "write error", but make the code find out why writing caused an error.
Third idea: in addition to better error messages, might provide diagnostics tools as well.
A friend suggested having a script that sets up a known good set of operations and verifies they work. This would establish a known-working baseline, or smoke test, so that we can rule things like "software isn't completely installed".
Do you have ideas? Mail me (firstname.lastname@example.com) or tell me on identi.ca (@liw) or Twitter (@larswirzenius).
Warning: This blog post includes instructions for a procedure that can lead you to lock yourself out of your computer. Even if everything goes well, you'll be hunted by dragons. Keep backups, have a rescue system on a USB stick, and wear flameproof clothing. Also, have fun, and tell your loved ones you love them.
I've recently gotten two U2F keys. U2F is a open standard for authentication using hardware tokens. It's probably mostly meant for website logins, but I wanted to have it for local logins on my laptop running Debian. (I also offer a line of stylish aluminium foil hats.)
Having two-factor authentication (2FA) for local logins improves security if you need to log in (or unlock a screen lock) in a public or potentially hostile place, such as a cafe, a train, or a meeting room at a client. If they have video cameras, they can film you typing your password, and get the password that way.
If you set up 2FA using a hardware token, your enemies will also need to lure you into a cave, where a dragon will use a precision flame to incinerate you in a way that leaves the U2F key intact, after which your enemies steal the key, log into your laptop and leak your cat GIF collection.
Looking up information for how to set this up, I found a blog post by Sean Brewer, for Ubuntu 14.04. That got me started. Here's what I understand:
PAM is the technology in Debian for handling authentication for logins and similar things. It has a plugin architecture.
Yubico (maker of Yubikeys) have written a PAM plugin for U2F. It is packaged in Debian as
libpam-u2f. The package includes documentation in
By configuring PAM to use
libpam-u2f, you can require both password and the hardware token for logging into your machine.
Here are the detailed steps for Debian stretch, with minute differences from those for Ubuntu 14.04. If you follow these, and lock yourself out of your system, it wasn't my fault, you can't blame me, and look, squirrels! Also not my fault if you don't wear sufficient protection against dragons.
- Install
- As your normal user,
mkdir ~/.config/Yubico. The list of allowed U2F keys will be put there.
- Insert your U2F key and run
pamu2fcfg -u$USER > ~/.config/Yubico/u2f_keys, and press the button on your U2F key when the key is blinking.
- Edit
/etc/pam.d/common-authand append the line
auth required pam_u2f.so cue.
- Reboot (or at least log out and back in again).
- Log in, type in your password, and when prompted and the U2F key is blinking, press its button to complete the login.
pamu2fcfg reads the hardware token and writes out its identifying data
in a form that the PAM module understands; see the pam-u2f
documentation for details. The data can be stored in the user's home
directory (my preference) or in
Once this is set up, anything that uses PAM for local authentication (console login, GUI login, sudo, desktop screen lock) will need to use the U2F key as well. ssh logins won't.
Next, add a second key to your
u2f_keys. This is important, because if
you lose your first key, or it's damaged, you'll otherwise have no way
to log in.
- Insert your second U2F key and run
pamu2fcfg -n > second, and press the second key's button when prompted.
- Edit
~/.config/Yubico/u2f_keysand append the output of
secondto the line with your username.
- Verify that you can log in using your second key as well as the first key. Note that you should have only one of the keys plugged in at the same time when logging in: the PAM module wants the first key it finds so you can't test both keys plugged in at once.
This is not too difficult, but rather fiddly, and it'd be nice if someone wrote at least a way to manage the list of U2F keys in a nicer way.

In March we started a new company, to develop and support the software whose development I led at my previous job. The software is Qvarn, and it's fully free software, licensed under AGPL3+. The company is QvarnLabs (no website yet). Our plan is to earn a living from this, and our hope is to provide software that is actually useful for helping various organisations handle data securely.
The first press release about Qvarn was sent out today. We're still setting up the company and getting operational, but a little publicity never hurts. (Even if it is more marketing-speak and self-promotion than I would normally put on my blog.)
So this is what I do for a living now.
The development of the open source Qvarn Platform was led by QvarnLabs CEO Kaius Häggblom (left) and CTO Lars Wirzenius.
Helsinki, Finland 10.05.2016 – With Privacy by Design, integrated Gluu access management and comprehensive support for regulatory data compliance, Qvarn is set to become the Europe-wide platform of choice for managing workforce identities and providing associated value-added services.
Construction industry federations in Sweden, Finland and the Baltic States have been using the Qvarn Platform (http://www.qvarn.org) since October 2015 to securely manage the professional digital identities of close to one million construction workers. Developed on behalf of these same federations, Qvarn is now free and open source software; making it a compelling solution for any organization that needs to manage a secure register of workers' data.
"There is something universal and fundamental at the core of the Qvarn platform. And that's trust," said Qvarn evangelist Kaius Häggblom. "We decided to make it free, open source and include Gluu access management because we wanted all those using Qvarn or contributing to its continued development to have the freedom to work with the platform in whatever way is best for them."
Qvarn has been designed to meet the requirements of the European Union's new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), enabling organizations that use the platform to ensure their compliance with the new law. Qvarn has also incorporated the principles of Privacy by Design to minimize the disclosure of non-essential personal information and to give people more control over their data.
"Today, Qvarn is used by the construction industry as a way to manage the data of employees, many of whom frequently move across borders. In this way the platform helps to combat the grey economy in the building sector, thereby improving quality and safety, while simultaneously protecting the professional identity data of almost a million individuals," said Häggblom. "Qvarn is so flexible and secure that we envision it becoming the preferred platform for the provision of any value-added services with an identity management component, eventually even supporting monetary transactions."
Qvarn is a cloud based solution supported to run on both Amazon Web Services (AWS) and OpenStack. In partnership with Gluu, the platform delivers an out-of-the-box solution that uses open and standard protocols to provide powerful yet flexible identity and access management, including mechanisms for appropriate authentication and authorization.
"Qvarn's identity management and governance capabilities perfectly compliment the Gluu Server's access management features," said Founder and CEO of Gluu, Michael Schwartz. "Free open source software (FOSS) is essential to the future of identity and access management. And the FOSS development methodology provides the transparency that is needed to foster the strong sense of community upon which a vibrant ecosystem thrives."
Qvarn's development team continues to be led by recognized open source developer and platform architect Lars Wirzenius. He has been developing free and open source software for 30 years and is a renowned expert in the Linux environment, with a particular focus on the Debian distribution. Lars works at all levels of software development – from writing code to designing system architecture.
About the Qvarn Platform:
The Qvarn Platform is free and open source software for managing workforce identities. Qvarn is integrated with the Gluu Server's access management features out of the box, using open and standard protocols to provide the platform with a single common digital identity and mechanisms for appropriate authentication and authorization. A cloud based solution, Qvarn is supported to run on both Amazon Web Services (AWS) and OpenStack. Privacy by Design is central to the architecture of Qvarn and the platform has been third party audited to a security level of HIGH.

Today was my last day at Suomen Tilaajavastuu, where I worked on Qvarn. Tomorrow is my first day at my new job. The new job is for a new company, tentatively named QvarnLabs (registration is in process), to further develop and support Qvarn. The new company starts operation tomorrow, so you'll have to excuse me that there isn't a website yet.
Qvarn provides a secure, RESTful JSON HTTP API for storing and retrieving data, with detailed access control (and I can provide more buzzwords if necessary). If you operate in the EU, and store information about people, you might want to read up about the General Data Protection Regulation, and Qvarn may be a possible part of a solution you want to look into, once we have the website up.
In January and February of 2016 I ran an Obnam user survey. I'm not a statistician, but here is my analysis of the results.
Executive summary: Obnam is slow, buggy, and the name is bad. But they'd like to buy stickers and t-shirts.
I wrote up a long list of questions about things I felt were of interest to me. I used Google Forms to collect responses, and exported them as a CSV file, and analysed based on that.
I used Google Forms, even though it is not free software, as it was the easiest service I got to work that also seemed it'd be nice for people to use. I could have run the survey using Ikiwiki, but it wouldn't have been nearly as nice. I could have found and hosted some free software for this, but that would have been much more work.
Most questions had free form text responses, and this was both good and bad. It was good, because many of the responses included things I could never have expected. It was bad, because it took me a lot more time and effort to process those. I think next time I'll keep the number of free text responses down.
For some of the questions, I hand-processed the responses to a more or less systematic form, in order to count things with a bit of code. For others, I did not, and show the full list of responses (I'm lazy, we don't need a survey to determine that).
The responses
See http://code.liw.fi/obnam/survey-2016.html for the responses, after hand-processing.
For the questions for which it makes sense, a script has tabulated the various responses and calculated percentages. I haven't produced graphs, as I don't know how to do that easily. (Maybe next time I'll enlist the help of statisticians.)
There were 263 responses in total. I have no idea of knowing if the total number of Obnam users is about that, but the number correlates fairly well with the Debian popcon numbers, so I'm assuming Obnam has on the order of a few hundred users total.
A larger number might be more impressive, but it'd also mean that I would be responsible for much more data loss if I make a horrible mistake. That said, it is probably time to start spending some effort on growing the developer base of Obnam.
People seem to hear about Obnam primarily from my blog posts, or by searching the web for backup software. Also, from the Arch Linux or Gentoo wikis, or Joey Hess.
People use Obnam mostly for personal machines, but also at work.
Those who have tried Obnam, but don't use it, rejected it primarily for speed or because it's unstable or buggy. I hope that the bad bugs have mostly been fixed, and I'm working on improving the speed.
People seem to use either the latest version, or the version included in the release of their operating system (e.g., Debian jessie). Other versions are relatively rare.
Most people started using Obnam in the past two years.
People use Obnam on a variety of Linux based operating systems, but also others. Obnam users are especially skewed towards Debian and Ubuntu, which is not surprising, as I'm involved in Debian and have been publicising it there, and provide package for Debian myself.
About half the people have at least hundreds of thousands of files, containing hundreds of gigabytes of data. All extremes (very few or very many files, very little or very much data) are represented, though. A couple of people have at least a hundred million files, or at least ten terabytes of data.
Most people don't have a backup strategy, or at least not a documented one, and if they do, it's not regularly tested.
This isn't a good thing.
Most people had backed up within the past week as of the time of filling in the survey. This hopefully indicates that they back up frequently. Only one respondent said they'd never backed up.
Rather more people hadn't tested their backups, however, with about a fifth of the people having never tested their backup. This is also not good.
Most people only back up one machine to each repository, or at most a few. A total of 17 respondents reported that they don't have a backup, and do not fear clowns.
About half the people back up to a local drive, and nearly two thirds to an SFTP server.
People ask for more remote storage options, such as support for services like Amazon S3.
The things people like most about Obnam are on its list of core features: de-duplication, encryption, and ease of use / simplicity. FUSE is also well-liked, as are snapshot backups.
I didn't tabulate the reasons why people don't like Obnam, but performance and stability seem to be the most common reasons. My favourite response to this question is "the name obnam, does not sounds like a backup program".
Speed is also the pet bug people seem to have.
People seem to generally find Obnam documentation adequate. There's room for improvement, of course.
Nearly everyone finds it easy to get help if they have a problem with Obnam, but almost no-one uses the Obnam support mailing list or IRC channel.
Some people read the NEWS file, others do not. Few have sent patches, but some would like to. There's a bunch of suggestions for new features.
None of this is surprising to me, except perhaps that so many Obnam users actually do read the NEWS file, as it's been my experience in other projects that that's rare.
About half the people have heard of the green albatross. It's the name of the new way in which Obnam will be storing data on disk, which is a big factor in how fast or slow Obnam is. When the green albatross soars, Obnam will fly faster.
People use other backup software as well, which is sensible: no point in having all one's eggs in one basket. The top choices are rsync, duplicity, attic, and rsnapshot, but the list seems to mention most free backup software.
There's some interest in helping Obnam development, either by direct contributions, donations, paying for support or development, or by buying merchandise. Nearly no-one wants a printed version of the manual, but stickers and t-shirts might sell well enough.
A lot of people don't really want to, or are not able to, contribute, especially not by doing things, and that's OK. (They did contribute, however, by filling in the survey.)
When given an opportunity to say whatever they want to Obnam developers, most people say "thank you" in some form or another. This was very heartwarming.
After some serious thinking, I've decided not to nominate myself in the Debian project leader elections for 2016. While I was doing that, I wrote the beginnings of a platform, below. I'm publishing it to have a record of what I was thinking, in case I change my mind in the future, and perhaps it can inspire other other people to do something I would like to happen.
Why not run? I don't think I want to deal with the stress. I already have more than enough stress in my life, from work. I enjoy my obscurity in Debian. It allows me to go away for long periods of time, and to ignore any discussions, topics, and people that annoy or frustrate me, if I don't happen to want to tackle them at any one time. I couldn't do that if I was DPL.
NOT a platform for Debian project leader election, 2016
Apart from what the Debian constitution formally specifies, I find that the important duties of the Debian project leader are:
- Inspire, motivate, and enable the Debian community to make Debian better: to be the grease that makes the machinery run smoother. It is not important that the DPL do things, except to make sure other people can do.
- Delegate what work can be delegated. The DPL is only one person, and should not be a bottleneck. Anything that can reasonably be delegated should be delegated.
- Deal with mundane management tasks. This includes spending Debian money when it makes things easier, such as by funding sprints.
- Represent the project in public, or find people to do that in specific cases.
- Help resolve conflicts within the project.
I do not feel it is the job of the DPL to set goals for the project, technical or otherwise, any more than any other member of the project. Such goals tend to best come from enthusiastic individual developer who want something and are willing to work on it. The DPL should enable such developers, and make sure they have what they need to do the work.
My plan, if elected
Keep Debian running. Debian can run for a long time effectively on autopilot, even if the DPL vanishes, but not indefinitely. At minimum, the DPL should delegate the secretary and technical committee members, and decide on how money should be spent. I will make sure this minimum level is achieved.
While I have no technical goals to set for the project, I have an organisational one. I believe it is time for the project to form a social committee whose mandate is to step in and help resolve conflicts in their early stages, before they grow big enough that the DPL, the tech-ctte, listmasters, or the DAM needs to involved. See below for more details on this. If I am elected, I will do my best to get a social committee started, and I will assume that any vote for me is also a vote for a social committee.
Social committee
(Note: It's been suggested that this is a silly name, but I haven't had time to come up with anything better. I already rejected "nanny patrol".)
We are a big project now. Despite our reputation, we are a remarkably calm project, but there are still occasional conflicts, and some of them spill out into our big mailing lists. We are not very good, as a project, in handling such situations.
It is not a new idea, but I think its time has come, and I propose that we form a new committee, a social committee, whose job is to help de-escalate conflict situations while they are still small conflicts, to avoid them growing into big problems, and to help resolve big conflicts if they still happen.
This is something the DPL has always been doing. People write to the DPL to ask for mediation, or other help, when they can't resolve a situation by themselves. We also have the technical committee, listmasters, GRs, and the expulsion process defined by the DAM. These are mostly heavy-weight tools and by the time it's time to consider their use, it's already too late to find a good solution.
Having the DPL do this alone puts too much pressure on one person. We've learnt that important tasks should generally be handled by teams rather than just one person.
Thus, I would like us to have a social committee that:
- is reasonably small, like the technical committee
- attempts to resolve conflicts at an early stage
- is delegated by the DPL to have authority to do this
- doesn't necessarily have direct authority to remove people from mailing lists, IRC channels, or expel them from the project, but has authority suggest such measures to the appropriate team
- may do other things, such as educate people on how to resolve conflicts constructively themselves, or deal with chronic conflicts in addition to acute flare-ups
About me
I've been a Debian developer since 1996. I've been retired twice, while I spent large amounts of time on other things. I haven't been a member of any important team in Debian, but I've been around long enough that I know many people, and have a reasonable understanding of how the projects works.
At Debconf15 I gave a talk on topic of having backups be a default service on Debian machines. In that talk, I proposed that we create infrastructure to be included in a default Debian install to manage backups.
I still think this is a good idea, but over the past several months, I've had nearly no time at all to actually do this.
I'm afraid I have to say now that I won't be able to work on this in time for the stretch release. I would be very happy for others to do that, however.
The Debian wiki page https://wiki.debian.org/Backup acts as a central point of information for this. If you're interested in working on this, you can just do it.
I have just released version 1.19.1 of Obnam, the backup program. See the website at http://obnam.org for details on what the program does. The new version is available from git (see http://git.liw.fi) and as Debian packages from http://code.liw.fi/debian, and uploaded to Debian, and soon in unstable.
The NEWS file extract below gives the highlights of what's new in this version. Basically, it fixes a bug.
NOTE: Obnam has an EXPERIMENTAL repository format under
development, called
green-albatross. It is NOT meant for real
use. It is likely to change in incompatible ways without warning. Do
not use it unless you're willing to lose your backup.
Version 1.19.1, released 2016-01-30
Bug fix:
- The check for paramiko version turned out not to work with
versions 1.7.8 through 1.10.4, due to the
paramiko.__version_info__variable being missing. It's there in earlier and later versions. Lars Wirzenius added code to make the check work if the
paramiko.__version__variable is there. Jan Niggemann provided research and testing.
Survey URL: http://goo.gl/forms/hdoQZKjs80
I am doing an Obnam survey. The goal of this survey is to collect feedback from those who use Obnam, or have tried it, to guide the project in the future.
The survey will run until February 29, 2016.
- Get a feel for the number of people using Obnam, and how they are using it.
- Find out why those who've tried Obnam have chosen to not use it.
- Get input on roadmap planning: what things are wanted most, or least. What is important for Obnam users?
- Get feedback on what's good or bad about Obnam in general.
- Get feedback about the project in addition to the software.
- Get a feel for whether it's worth pursuing business opportunities around Obnam.
All questions in this survey are optional. I do not collect personal information at all. The survey is implemented using Google Forms, and so Google probably collects some information; sorry. You don't need to log in to Google to fill in the survey, though, and I encourage you to use all the privacy protection tools you have.
I hope as many Obnam users as possible fill in the survey.
