I didn’t want to write about this until I had something to show, now I got some updates and I think I will be the last person involved in this project who didn’t write anything about it yet. Yes, I was accepted as a Google Summer of Code student this year. And the umbrella project [...]
I’m a big fan of OpenVZ virtualization. This server runs on OpenVZ, ubuntu-ro and SbLUG also use it. Along time I received a couple of questions regarding different setups, most of them resulted into an experience I started to share basically using a setup example below. The classic situation usually is a single server with [...]
I completely rewrote my plugin we use to list/maintain the Romanian FLOSS communities index. Recently I was asked to improve it with some features, but the code (it was a hack mostly) was horrible so the first step was to rewrite it. The changelog speaks for itself. Now we got GeoRSS and jQuery power behind. [...]
So the awesome drupal loco is dead… (ex lp:~drupal-loco). I was working on ubuntu-md loco website, so I said to create a WordPress ubuntu loco theme from scratch. The results were nice so I said to publish everything to Launchpad. Hope all that stuff will become useful one day to other loco teams. If you [...]

The location of the images has changed, the limits that were in the 1.0 are now obsolete. The upgrade should be flawless, but I still advise you to backup the images [...]
I’m not alone anymore, cause Cipri joined me. And now we got our own forums. Yay!
For GSL we wanted a tool to offer image annotation support, we found fotonotes (which is a hardcore overkill imho) and after that we found jQuery Image Annotation plugin by Chris. Unfortunately the plugin had no support for PHP api, so I said to write it. I wanted also to test my github account for [...]
My WordPress plugin we are using to generate local LUGs map was updated to version 1.5. Release includes some security fixes I was plaining for long time and sidebar widget which can now be used to show the list of items from the map. Release was sponsored by Central Creative Group. Thanks guys. More updates [...]
I start using nginx on one of our production server. Amazingly, this piece of software saves now about 50% of our resources on the server. I also deployed lighttpd on a server, but It’s a far greater pleasure to work with nginx than with lighttpd. Here are some results from loadimpact: Apache tested Nginx tested [...]
