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.
Is django the framework for the new lava site?
I notice it matches some of the credentials like clean urls and such.
ANONYMOUS COWARD:
Nah, I chose Drupal for the new LavaNet site. And one of the main considerations was the clean URLs. It also maintained backwards compatibility with the former LavaNet web site which used static HTML files but the same URLs. Hopefully for future projects I'll be able to use Django but I'll need to do some hacking away at the framework in my spare time because it's changed a lot since I last used it.
Since you're a Hawaii resident, I'll give you a heads up that I'll be doing a talk about using Free and Open Source Software in next month's Open Source Pizza talk. I haven't started planning for the talk yet so I can't give you a firm description of the topic. You know about the CyberPizza related talks?

Granted that you need to modify configuration files manually.
Why not?

Modify the source RPM. Rebuild to your specifications with customizations. Deploy to many. Most of the hard work in packaging (and creating a .spec file) has been done. There also an internal yum repository these days at LavaNet.
Build customized RPM on a test/dev machine then deploy to live machine.
