[OT]: The world's first open source beer
by Sujeet Bhatt 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

http://www.voresoel.dk/main.php?id=70 What's this "Vores Øl"? Vores Øl (Our Beer) is a great tasting energetic beer and it's the world's first open source beer! It is based on classic ale brewing traditions but with added guarana for a natural energy-boost. Version 1.0 is a medium strong beer (6% vol) with a deep golden red color and an original but familiar taste. Why Guarana? The South American Guarana beans are a natural source of energy and health. Their stimulating effect nicely balances the drowsiness that is associated with beer. (The caffeine contents in each beer, approx. 35 mg, is lower than in a cup of coffee so you shouldn't have to worry about possible side effects.) Is it a real beer? Yes and no. You can't buy it in stores (at least not yet) and by the time you read this we have probably drank all the beer we brewed in the first batch. (It tasted good.) But somewhere in the world someone might be using our recipe right now, and as long as they publish their version of the recipe they are free to sell it in a store near you... How can beer be open source? The recipe and the whole brand of Our Beer is published under a Creative Commons license, which basically means that anyone can use our recipe to brew the beer or to create a derivative of our recipe. You are free to earn money from Our Beer, but you have to publish the recipe under the same license (e.g. on your website or on our forum) and credit our work. You can use all our design and branding elements, and are free to change them at will provided you publish your changes under the same license ("Attribution & Share Alike"). Can large companies market Our Beer? Yes, they are free to use our recipe at will - but they also have to comply with the licence and publish their version of the recipe under the same Creative Commons license. This requirement is to keep the beer "free" so everyone has the freedom to improve the recipe based on the work of others. Who are "we"? We are "Vores Øl Group", a group of students at the IT-University in Copenhagen and have created Our Beer in collaboration with Superflex as an experiment in applying modern open source ideas and methods on a traditional real-world product (beer). Why beer? Why not? We all like beer, and as an added bonus there is a legendary quote used to explain the concept of free software (now usually referred to as open source software): "Free software" is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of "free" as in "free speech", not as in "free beer". We think that our open source beer is a nice twist on this quote, and we think it is interesting to see if our beer grows stronger in out in the free and perhaps one day becomes the Linux of beers. Who knows? Is your recipe in any way uniqe? Yes and no. According to google.com there is no other "open source" beer out there (except in fake news). Others have added Guarana or caffeine in beer, but we haven't found any that is similar to our in color and taste. This work (all text, images and code) is licensed under a Creative Commons License.

Alternate Dialup Problem
by Rony Bill 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Hello All, I have been experiencing problems whenever I want to use an alternate dialup isp instead of my main default one. I use Mandrake 10.1 with kppp as my dialer. After I have connected to one isp, if I disconnect and select the second isp, the connection is successfull but sites don't open up. The kppp accounts are set to delete earlier dns entries so that everytime there is a fresh entry and the firewall is also flushed but no luck. If the system is rebooted then I can use the second isp. Conclusion: Whatever isp is dialled first works, for the next, its a hit and run case with more failures than success. Any clues? Any Tips or tricks? How would a regular user like a customer do it, as it can be done in windows? Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ How much free photo storage do you get?

Anyway, without proper policy and single point entry to your network you might as well forget about the problem and go fishing or rock climbing instead. rgds jtd
