At first sight, their naming scheme seems to follow a pattern:

Breezy Badger, Dapper Drake, Edgy Eft

The two "missing" release names were "Warty Warthog" and "Hoary Hedgehog".

I wonder if they'll stick with some obvious scheme like the alphabete from now on... the names are odd enough as is, I think it would be nice to have them follow such a pattern.

I've added two DebTags projects so far to the Debian Summer of Code page. Maybe we'll add some more, I'm waiting for feedback.

The projects so far are:

DebTags database rewrite

the current central debtags database (the first "packagebrowser") has come of age, and is in desperate need of a rewrite and the addition of new features. It's still hosed on a woody system that should have been shut down years ago.

DebTags AI tagger

this will likely be a very popular project topic. I've already had two people expressing interest in doing this. The goal is to apply AI mechanisms (e.g. bayesian filters) to collected package information (description, readme, DOAP data, freshmeat info, sf/alioth/savannah/... info, documentation files maybe?) to guess which tags are appropriate

Maybe the second project will be split into two parts; one doing the main AI tagger work, the second working on a UI for editors to very the AI tags. Bringing that back to the central database, which will also need a review functionality.

The AI tagger project is very interesting, I wished I had had time for that myself. Benjamin already worked on it a bit last year. But there is so much you could do with that codebase...

Grab the top tags from DMoz or Del.icio.us and use them to train your AI. Then start classifying webpages with that.

I guess with some crawling work, you can extend the ~5 Mio links on DMoz to a reasonable directory with 20 Mio Entries. Now imagine a user interface like Debtags enhanced search by Enrico.

I really need to complete my studies and found a web2.0-company to sell to some search engine company for tons of money. ;-)

Es ist erschreckend, was für grottige, Augenkrebs verursachende Un-Homepages es im Netz gibt. Und zwar in erschreckender Menge.

Ich weiss jetzt nicht, was ich schlimmer finden soll...

Dass viele meiner Freunde, die echt coole Sachen machen, diese nicht ins Netz stellen (weil es ihnen zu viel Arbeit ist, weil sie Angst davor haben dass jemand etwas negatives im Netz über sie findet, dass sie deswegen vielleicht mal einen Job nicht bekommen usw.) - oder dass viele mit so total irrelevanten Sachen so protzig (und geschmacklos) im Netz auftreten.

Ich denke das ist aber auch etwas ein "Kulturwandel" die letzten Jahre... Intellektuell sein ist out, Gangstaz sind in.

We had trouble with a serial-ATA raid controller in a windows server. Write performance was exceptionally poor, so we contacted the manufacturer.

We now received the following second followup:

Sorry for late reply.
We have test the AEC-6897 R5 performance.
The test result is simular your description.
Sorry for your inconvenience.

Well, thank you for acknowledging that write performance in a 7+1 SATA RAID5 is just 2.5 MB/s, after we had been stating that switching to RAID 0+1 is not acceptable for us. Now, do you have a timeframe when a working bios for your controller will be available?

However, when you produce a RAID 5 controller for 8 drives, don't you think the 7+1 setup is, well, an obvious choice, that should have been tested for write speed before? :-(
