DrupalCampParis2: 19 april 2008

DrupalCampParis 2 is an opportunity to promote Drupal in the "Francophonie" and then in the South of our little country as Joeri says in his post. Pour ceux qui veulent accroître leurs connaissances en Drupal, ils pourrons assister à DrupalCampParis 2 où les sessions seront en français et en anglais. Peut-être que cette conférence éveillera des vocations de contributeur à drupal.be en français ?

Sooner is better….

Since always, I believe that the best way of educating people to use and think opensource, this should happen early at school. M$ knows that and since long time now they provide computers for schools, adult users of tomorrow are the children of today. M$ now starts even earlier, look at this ! Bah... I've already a bunch of books with penguins for my daughter ;-)

Audacity and Fedora 8

I've tried today to use audacity for the first time since I'm using Fedora 8. What a disappointment: no sound ! I checked in preferences and none of these options were working : I started then audacity using the following command line : $ pasuspender audacity I could consequently hear some output and many different sources in preferences : I'm ready now to work on my favorites sounds...

MySQL proxies

I've tested last night two proxies for MySQL : MySQL-Proxy and Dormando's Proxy for MySQL. Both are working, but I still don't see really the advantage of using DPM over MySQL-Proxy, maybe I should make more tests but deploying MySQL-Proxy was easier as you define the backends as arguments in command line. I plan to use a MySQL proxy in production as load-balancer in combination with replication and redirect all DML queries to the master. Does one of you already use one of those two projects in production, what's your feedback ? You can also find more information on DLM here. It would be maybe nice to have a kind of buffer if for any reasons the backends servers are not responding ?
