Enhancements:
- Ahead of a busy spring season and in anticipation of new StartCom Enterprise Linux AS-5 and StartCom MultiMedia Edition ML-6 comes an updated release of the Advanced Server 4 series. The fifth release of this enterprise class operating system is the natural combined continuation of the previously released AS-4 distribution, which includes security updates and minor adjustments. Notable are an updated kernel, security updates for PHP, Firefox and Thunderbird, but also some additions and improvements for smart cards and hardware tokens.

Soma is a suite of programs that let you play and schedule audio files from the Web.
Soma suite supports extra utilities using run-time loadable modules and includes a broadcasting scheduler, a tool to control it via TCP/IP, and an utility to check configuration file syntax.
Soma project started in summer 2003 to manage the digital version of an activists radio old spools.
The first release just gave just the chance to play random some audio files in a directory using an external program (at that time mpg123). In despite of that this software was never used, i kept on thinking about soma project for some weeks, until i started directly to work with a group called Reload, which was experimenting at the time a project called "eterete" and creating a place for a web radio at Pergola Tribe (a selfmanaged house in Milan).
We used, of course, a release, which was a little bit better to manage the radio-playlist and of course we implemented the software itself. From september till december soma became a software suite, configurable through file and (remote administration...). Thats thanks to the relationships and the inputs that such a community like Reload can create.
A group of passionate activists was able to make broadcastings and broadcast schedules, to find out new problems and to give implementation advices. They also suggest me the idea that soma (originally a simple play-list manager) could become a programs suite, which has a player, a software for deferred broadcasting, a more user friendly admininstration, documentation and distribution.
Some time after came somaplayer and somaadmin. The player was still very behind compared to my implementation ideas. Somadmin was straight away on line and advertised on radio.inventati.org/somadmin/
In January 2004 we showed Soma at the first italian (web and air-waves) radio meeting in Naples.The meeting was technologically and politically profitable and it was an attempt to build up a real radio-network.
Radio.inventati.org was actually the only example od direct cooperation among even very different people: individuals, improvised groups, very old and movement radios and experiences from overseas countries.
On the web site there are occasional streamings, weekly streamings, and 24hrs music flows.
The object of the technical research was a digital environment, which could let individuals or whole communities gain access to a common schedule with resum?s, repetitions, deferred programs, live broadcastings, regular broadcastings as one national and international network.
Soma could satisfy this need and could be easly managed through the web thanks to somadmin, which could update the soma admin in real time.
The developments went on. Somaplayer is now reality. The only music player which can stream directly an mp3, an ogg vorbis, a wav, a track from an audio cd or a streaming directly on an icecast server (icecast 2 or shoutcast) or just play it on a computer using sound drivers or sound daemons.
At the moment more other people work at this project, who debug the software, write docs, work at the website and make installation packages (for debian).
Enhancements:
- This release fixes three bugs related to group permissions, the 31st of months, and an error in libsoma related to buffers and protocols.

GioveLUG Educational is a custom distro based on PuppyLinux 2.11. This is my first distro and with my LUG we delivered it to a kids fun house to let the kids learning computer loving free software.

Basically, this distro is a Puppy 2.11 with other kids software installed such as:

- TuxType2
- TuxMath
- GCompris
- SuperTux
- TuxPaint

I also installed a couple of dotpup packages such as the following:

- Vnc with GUI (by Rarsa)
- MU Translate Menu (by Mark Ulrich)

GioveLUG educational has also following libraries installed on:

http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Games/LibSDL1.2-forDoom.pup
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Programming/python2.3_2.3.5-3sarge1.pup
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Games/gcompris/sounds-international/ (for localization sounds of GCompris. I chose Italian to support my country)

- libartsc.so.0 which I cannot remember the exact location on the web.

Into the directory usr/share/backgrounds you can find some wallpaper for your desktop.

It is very simple to translate menu in italian if you like it, just use MU translation program with the file it.lng you can find onto Localization forum.

WebService::GoogleHack is a Perl package that ties together all GoogleHack modules (Webservice::GoogleHack::Search, Webservice::GoogleHack::Spelling, Webservice::GoogleHack::Rate, and Webservice::GoogleHack::Text) to implement Natural Language Processing techniques that use the World Wide Web as a source of information. Use this package to access all the functionality of GoogleHack.
SYNOPSIS
use WebService::GoogleHack;
my $google = new WebService::GoogleHack;
#Initializing the object to the contents of the configuration file
# API Key, GoogleSearch.wsdl file location.
$google->initConfig("initconfig.txt");
#Printing the contents of the configuration file
$google->printConfig();
#Measure the semantic relatedness between the words "white house" and
#"president".
$measure=$google->measureSemanticRelatedness1("white house","president");
print "nRelatedness measure between white house and president is: ";
print $measure."n";
#Going to search for words that are related to "toyota" and "ford"
my @terms=();
push(@terms,"toyota");
push(@terms,"ford");
#The parameters are the search terms, number of web page results to look
#at, the number of iterations,output file and the "true" indicates that the
#diagnostic data should be stored in the file "results.txt"
$results=$google->Algorithm1(@terms,10,25,1,"results.txt","true");
print $results;
WebService::GoogleHack is a PERL package that interacts with the Google API, and implements basic functions that allow the user to interact with Google and retrieve results in an easy to use format. GoogleHack also implements and extends a number of Natural Language Processing by using the World Wide Web as a source of information.
Main features:

- Retrieve Spelling suggestions from Google (WebService::GoogleHack, WebService::GoogleHack::Spelling)
- Find the Pointwise Mututal Information (PMI) measure between two words (WebService::GoogleHack,WebService::GoogleHack::Rate)
- Given a paragraph find if the paragraph has a positive or negative semantic orientation.(WebService::GoogleHack,WebService::GoogleHack::Rate)
- Given a set of words along with a positively oriented word such as "excellent" and a negatively oriented word such as "poor", find if the word has a positive or negative semantic orientation.(WebService::GoogleHack,WebService::GoogleHack::Rate)
- Given a set of phrases along with a positively oriented word such as "excellent" and a negatively oriented word such as "poor", predict if the given phrases are positive or negative in sentiment.(WebService::GoogleHack,WebService::GoogleHack::Rate)
- Given two or more words finds a set of related words. (WebService::GoogleHack)
