RPM for Asterisk... Django 0.9.5... KernelNewbies web site

ATrpms maintains very up to date RPMs for Asterisk. For some reason, perhaps because there are Linux distributions that allow you to run Asterisk out-of-the-box, I thought that Asterisk was some full blown service that was difficult to get up and running.

The web framework Django recently released version 0.9.5. I first looked at it when it was first released to the public over a year ago and it impressed me. I think I need to revisit some of the Python fundamentals. I've forgotten how to use things like dictionaries and list comprehensions.

KernelNewbies is a site I found out about this week after looking at some videos from OSCON. I like the 'human readable' changelog for the Linux kernel's that they have. It's sites like that which show you the astronomical speed in with Free and Open Source Software is developed.

The site runs on MoinMoin which I am evaluating for LavaNet as a whole but also using as a personal wiki system running on my local workstation. I've implemented MoinMoin interernally at my former work place and it's cool to see how much they code-base has changed in the past year.

This Summer Of Code project to allow multiple storage system implementations looks especially interesting.
