Feedback: July 2003, Published: August 2003
This month spam is back to its' usual levels. It is interesting how my experience of spam seems to differ so remarkably from the average Internet user. If the mainstream media is to be believed spam is the scourge of the Internet. The spam arriving at this site has been kept to very low levels by the following measures: 1. Not posting e-mail addresses on the Internet. Initial contact must be via a HTML form. This is probably the single most important thing that can eliminate spam. 2. Use a roboust open-source mail server, which is maintained by an experienced system administrator who understands what e-mail is. 3. Pursuit of any spammers who manage to get through the block list. Nevertheless spam has become a big topic in Australia. The Australian government has now given an undertaking to "Outlaw Spam". But will it work?Hints for this month:

ALP Open Source Forum
Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2003 00:01:56 +1000 (EST) From: Brian Robson Ed: The following are notes from Mary Gardiner on the "Open Source: Where Should Labor Stand?" forum, held at NSW Parliament House with the ALP IT and Communications Committee on Wednesday 25th June 2003. Published here under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, which can be viewed at: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/1.0/ For press coverage of the forum, see http://australianit.news.com.au/articles/0,7204,6656904%5e15319%5e%5enbv%5e15306,00.html This summary is more or less notes from each of the talks. I've written OSS for "Open Source Software" in many places. It's a bit buzzowrdy, which is an accurate reflection of these types of forums. I haven't provided my own commentary, save in the conclusions and summary of the discussion, so try not to read my opinions where I haven't stated them :) Of the speakers, I probably found Michael McEniery (Freehills law firm) most interesting, although his talk was short. It's quite a long summary, so conclusions first. --- Conclusions --- The speakers agreed on the need for software to compete on merit, and on the need for open standards. There was not in fact much direct advocacy of Open Source. The concluding speaker felt that much of the forum missed the point. He claimed that the ALP was more or less "sold" on Open Standards, and they wanted to squarely face the issue of what role Open Source has to play in government software acquisition and development. The committee has three focuses: enabling the whole community to take advantage of IT; helping the government steer the means by which the community acts (wrt to IT); and getting advice from stakeholders. I was told after the meeting that the best way to get involved right now would be to join the ALP. I am not intending to join the ALP, but Linux users who are already members of the ALP and interested in advocating Open Source within the ALP might want to get in touch with Michael Gadiel, who convenes the ALP IT and Communications Committee. --- Opening --- The meeting was opened by John Della Bosca, MLC, Special Minister for State. His NSW government portfolio now includes IT. His introduction was brief, but mentioned that some parts of the state government are both using open source and contributing source back to the community. --- Introduction --- Professor Albert Zomaya, CISCO Systems Chair of Internetworking in the University of Sydney's School of Information Technology, introduced the meeting. Zomaya's role in the forum was not to take a side on the Open Source issue, but to introduce some pros and cons. He mentioned that Open Source was a process, and not just a software process (he regards the PC as an "open source architecture") but an approach to development, maintenance, products and technology. In software terms, the source code is available and can be used, copied, and distributed with or without modification -- allowing developers to leverage other developer's work. Zomaya gave a brief history of the Free Software movement, and then listed some pros and cons of OSS. Pros included: expertise; quality; quicker releases; customisability; stability; indefinite support; and an OSS market bargaining position. Cons included: no warranties or guarantees; a more technical, less user oriented, focus; non standard versioning mechanisms; traditionally weak GUIs; potential difficulties identifying the owners of intellectual property. In summary, he stated that OSS is "not free" (I assume he meant cost-wise); is here to stay; and empowers users. The stakes for the market are very high and currently in flux, and concluded by saying that an absolutist stance towards OSS is not helpful. --- IBM --- John Harvey, director of Corporate Affairs, IBM Australia, spoke on the topic "Open Standards in Government". He mentioned that he was going to use the terms Linux and OSS interchangeably. He offered copies of his slides, a handout on OSS issues, and a small book about IBM and OSS to interested audience members. His talk focused on the policy side of OSS in government. He mentioned that OSS is developed collaboratively, and that it supports Open Standards frameworks. Benefits of OSS include: cost effectiveness, reliability, performance and open standards. He then mentioned some market statistics -- most deployment of OSS in the next 2 years will be as web servers, network servers, database servers and development systems. The specific benefits of Linux in government are: security; vendor independence; portability (a BIG government concern); reliability and availability; open standards; fostering innovation; the development of a national IT strategy independent of software and hardware; ease of migration between systems; and improvement of public sector skills. He reviewed international government departments using Linux. Europe is at the forefront and China's government is now using OSS almost exclusively in new applications. He concluded with IBM's policy recommendations: - departments should be familiarised with OSS and portability emphasised in decision making - OSS should be seriously considered as a way to lower costs; develop/deploy secure software; and to provide economic opportunities for local software developers - OSS should be taken seriously - R&D incorporating the OSS model should be taken seriously - OSS should be included in state IT strategies - Open Standards should be embraced IBM has embraced OSS for the interchangeability. --- Sun Microsystems --- Duncan Bennett, director of Linux Products, Sun Microsystems Australia, spoke about "Open Source: Where Does Sun Stand?" He claimed that OSS is a proven driver for: increasing value; superior innovation and providing choice. There is over 20 years of proof of this, and Sun sees OSS as a natural evolution of their 20 years of IT activity. Sun advocates looking at Open Systems, not just OSS (for example of an Open System, see Java). He then mentioned OpenOffice as an example of complementary OSS/proprietary development: OpenOffice is the OSS version, StarOffice is derived from OpenOffice and includes support and training from Sun. Sun's policy advice to government is that OSS and Open Systems both provide value, innovation and choice. OSS should be evaluated on a "fit for purpose" basis and governments should choose standards over products. --- Microsoft --- Martin Gregory was introduced as Microsoft Australia's Platform Marketing Manager, but microsoft.com.au describes him as Microsoft Australia's Competitive Strategy Manager. He spoke on "Open Source: Where Should Labor Stand?" He described this as a very exciting time in the software world. Microsoft is, of course, a commercial software company, one that has a very strong incentive to innovate and test; and one that is very user-driven. Microsoft is not anti-OSS or anti-non-commercial, but views it as healthy competition. He discussed whether commercial software is too expensive, and discussed cost vs. value and total cost of ownership. He claims that credible third party research into total cost of ownership is now emerging. He quoted figures that show that 70% of software costs are people costs (later, during questions, he mentioned that training is not included in that figure and makes up a further 8% or so of costs); 20% are downtime costs and 5% is software licensing costs. His measure of value was "is it going to do what we want it to do?" He discussed the issue of local software developers and economic opportunities for them. He mentioned that Microsoft has 14 000 partners, and provides 500 jobs in Australia, with another 10 000 provided through partners. For every dollar that MS Australia earns, its' partners earn eight dollars. MS Australia generates four billion dollars in service revenues. He said that Labor's policy should be that software procurement be based on merit and not exclude Australian software companies who innovate using commercial platforms. --- Freehills --- Michael McEniery, a solicitor at Freehills law firm, spoke about OSS intellectual property issues. He described how OSS is governed by copyright, and how a well-administered OSS project can track and protect IP. Authors of OSS retain the right to prosecute over unauthorised use. He described government policy from a law-making (rather than software purchasing) perspective: there should be laws protecting IT assets and infrastructure; and laws concerning the use of insecure platforms to attack someone else. He mentioned that code reviews and audits should be part of a security strategy, and that the government has a responsibility to review code it uses as part of protecting assets. He questioned whether government use of proprietary software fulfills government sovereignty obligations. He briefly turned to economic arguments, mentioning that the IT deficit is fourteen billion dollars and rising; that OSS allows product lifetime to be extended; and that OSS provides opportunities for young graduates. He discussed the terms of OSS and propriety licences. OSS licences have no warranties, and allow you to redistribute, modify, fix and audit the code. Proprietary software also has limited or no warranty, but does not let purchasers redistribute, modify, fix or audit the code. He considers that the government has a responsibility to find and fix bugs in software it uses. --- AUUG --- David Purdue, vice president of the Australian UNIX and Open Systems Users Group (AUUG), spoke next. He introduced AUUG and mentioned their interest in Open Systems and "open computing" : fully specified interfaces; access to interface definitions; and industry standards are part of Open Systems. OSS is a subset of Open Systems where the source code is available. He said that the government should embrace Open Systems. The benefits include: lower costs; robustness; no lock-in; adaptability; and less need to monitor licence compliance. As a large IT purchaser, the government should: tender for requirements; mandate standards rather than protocols; favour open standards and open document formats; and choose software based on merit. Benefits to Australia of Open Systems include: lower entry barriers for local companies; increased employment; less brain drain; reduction in IT deficit; lower costs for government; and local skill development. --- Stewart Fist --- Stewart Fist is an journalist for the Australian, but didn't appear as a representative for the Australian (that I could see). He described the Apple computer and the open architecture model, the death of MS-DOS competitors. He thinks of the last fifteen years as the "lockdown/shakedown" phase of standardisation, in which standards are developed by market leaders. As computers evolve, standards need to evolve, and to a large degree, Microsoft has given us this. But now, legislative standards are needed. He then pleaded for standardisation of digital TV set-top boxes. --- Discussion --- I found much of the discussion disappointing, some of it was inappropriate for the setting. For example, I don't think the ALP is likely to embrace a platform involving the destruction of corporation law, as one audience member seemed to be advocating. There was a question about the ATO and their notorious MS Windows-only electronic tax-return lodgement scheme, but the ATO, of course, is associated with the Federal, not the NSW State, government. (I wasn't sure whether the ALP IT Committee members present knew about or had thought about the e-tax issue anyway.) There was a question about the SCO case, and John Harvey stated that IBM considers the case "totally without merit", and that their legal advice agrees. They believe that the lack of merit is why SCO has chosen a slow way of resolving the case. There was a short discussion about whether there are reasons for the government to *not* embrace OSS/Open Standards. Kim Yeadon (the former NSW minister for IT, who I was told later was famed for reading his Linux Handbook in the Parliament chambers) mentioned existing investment in training and re-training costs. There was a longer discussion of end-of-life issues. Stewart Fist wondered whether the IP owners of abandoned (unmaintained) software should forfeit their IP ownership. Micheal McEniery mentioned that the legal trends are towards holding IT providers more responsible for their products but felt that the government should not be held to ransom by end-of-life dates (he was very big on sovereignty issues). Albert Zomaya suggested that funded bodies might maintain OSS indefinitely, but that there still needed to be a viable business model for longer product lifetimes. Martin Gregory mentioned that Microsoft's end-of-life policies compare favourably with Red Hat's; and also that for sufficient money, they would be prepared to support products indefinitely. He also mentioned that judging from the extremely small take-up of Microsoft's shared source initiative (which he was involved in when he worked for MS in Europe), code audits are not a large factor in IT purchasing. -Mary Gardiner --
The spam is getting worse
Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2003 14:44:40 +1000 (EST)
From: Brian Robson
Dear gerry,
The spam received here is getting far worse, almost weekly. A lot of
people are not even replying to emails, they must be finding it all too
much, just a one line reply would be nice sometimes. I think the normal
person is fed up with spam and emails generally.
My approximate figures are...
Jan 2003 - 350
Feb 2003 - 530
Mar 2003 - 690
Apr 2003 - 1050
May 2003 - 1290
Jun 2003 - 1260
Jul 2003 - 1080 (up to the 23rd only, estimate 1450 for the month)
Notes (a) The above does not include 70 Nigerian letters so far this year.
(b) Approx 97 emails have had attached viruses this year, and
these are mainly the spam emails nowadays.
Brian
PS: The above is only my own email, and this is after i have tried to
remove mentions of my email address off all my web pages. Bondi
Beach gets another 300 per week about about nothing.
Perl one-liner to convert query in referer string
Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2003 10:37:24 +1000
From: Gerry Patterson
Last month's article presented a subroutine for making query strings
more readable. This was part of the article on "Extracting keywords from
the apache logfile", (see: http://www.pgts.com.au/cgi-bin/pgtsj?file=pgtsj0307a)
This suggest a perl one-liner that transforms HTML hexadecimal codes
into ASCII:
echo 'string' | perl -npe 's/\%([0-9A-Fa-f]{2})/sprintf("%s",pack("H*",$1))/eg'
Where the string should be enclosed in quotes to protect against shell
meta-characters. Windows 2000 users could also use this one-liner.
However they would need to reverse the quotes:
echo "string" | perl -npe "s/\%([0-9A-Fa-f]{2})/sprintf('%s',pack('H*',$1))/eg"
Of course some readers will recoil in horror at the suggestion that the
commands above could be considered one-liners. It looks more like the
Beagle Boys swearing than a one-liner. Technically it probably isn't a
one-liner. By the time you put in a string of any reasonable length it
will be longer than one line on the average console.
Ok, maybe it's a program ...

My Dear Friend,
First i must solicit for your srictest confidence in this
transaction and I pray that my decision to contact you will be given
genuine approval considering the fact that we have not known each other
before.
I wish to use this opportunity to introduce myself to you, I am Mrs Mary
Kartick Sankoh,the wiife of the former minister of Diamond Mining
Corporation in my country Sieraleon,My husband had a bullet shot
by the rebels on his way travelling to Lusia a city after Freetown the
capital city along with my
daughter, My daughter died on the spot while the U. N peacekeeping force
rescued my Husband, he was taken to hospital for medical treatment which he
later died about three months now.
Fortunately, my Husband has six million, eight hundred thousand United
States Dollars(US$6.8
million)cash, which he intended to use for investment purposes overseas.
This money is kept with a security company.
Now it is only i and my son that knows where the money is being kept and we
have all the informations/doccuments right here with us.But due to the
current situation in the country concerning
government’s vendettas towards my family, we seek your assistance to
transfer the ownership of this fund to you so that you can asisst in
claiming it and also assist in purposeful investment of the fund as was
intended by my husband.
My family is currently being probed by this present government for
alleged involvement in misappropriation of public funds during his
regime.Towards this effect, an embargo restricting my family
members from traveling or carrying out financial transactions without their
express permission is in
force. Right now, my son and myself have gone to Dakar Senegal to conclude
plans on who can help us complete and recieve this consignment on our behalf
hence this contact.
However, I have an arrangement on how you can help us to recieve this
money after receiving approval and faithful assurances from you.
The money personally belongs to my husband and he intended to use it for
a lucrative investment.Please note,no record ever existed concerning this
money, neither is the money traceable by the government because there are
no documentations whatsoever concerning the funds in the FederalTreasury.
We have therefore concluded with the security company in question to
transfer this fund to anyone I nominate for the puropose of the release of
this fund.
Now bearing in mind that your assistance is of great importance in this
transaction,we have proposed the commissions as follws;15%(fifteen Percent)
of the total sum to you for the expected
services and assistance. While 5% is mapped out for miscellaneous expenses.
On your positive consent, I shall expect you to contact me urgently to
enable us discuss other modelities. Your urgent response will be highly
appreciated. I must use this opportunity to implore you to exercise utmost
indulgence to keep this matter extraordinarily confidential, while I await
your prompt response.
Best regards,
MRS. MARY KARTICK SANKOH
