 Sugar Labs, and Open Source in Education
Message-ID: <4BB9553A.7090509@indythinker.com>

April 8 Meeting: OLPC, Sugar Labs and Open Source in Education - Lessons
Learned
   with Greg DeKoenigsberg, Red Hat HQ, April 8th 7pm

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Join us in April when Greg DeKoenigsberg, Senior Community Architect for
Red Hat, presents a retrospective on the use of open source in
education, with lessons learned from the OLPC project, along with future
ideas of collaboration in teaching.

Greg is certainly in a position to know what he's talking about - he was
a community advisor to the One Laptop Per Child project and a founding
board member of the Sugar Labs project. He serves on the advisory boards
of several open source advocacy organizations, writes about open source
issues, and speaks at open source events worldwide.

Does anyone know how to check if a partial exists before rendering it?
For instance:

def safe_render_partial partial_path
  partial_path = 'fallback/partial' unless is_valid_partial?(partial_path)
  render :partial => partial_path
end

Easiest way is to try and rescue from a ActionView::MissingTemplate
exception.

def safe_render_partial partial_path
  begin
    render :partial => partial_path
  rescue ActionView::MissingTemplate
    render :partial => "default_partial"
  end
end

Well that works, so thank you. I've been going through Rails source
and found template_exists?, but it doesn't check for partials. So far
I haven't found the option to specify that.

By the way, this is what I was looking for:

partial_path = 'fallback/partial' unless template_exists?
partial_path, nil, true

Subject: [raleigh.rb] HELP! weird Bundler and/or Rails 3 beta 3 error
Message-ID: <h2u51ce9ce11004152108g4fbd5ed0q3ba6fd387f8391c0@mail.gmail.com>

There is a little back-story, so please bear with me...

I have a Rails 3 application that used to be running fine. (Source is
linked below.) It started as a Rails 3beta1 app. When beta2 was
released, I upgraded without incident. I don't remember if I ran
`bundle install` after upgrading or not but I certainly ran `bundle
check`. I also upgraded to beta3 without any issues. So far no
problems.

Tonight I was experimenting with different servers, since WEBrick is
so slow. `rails s`, `rackup` and `thin start` all worked fine. Then I
uncommented gem 'unicorn'. My system gems don't include unicorn, so I
ran `bundle install`, followed by `bundle check`. Everything seemed
okay, so I tried `rails s`. Then `rackup`. Then `thin start`. Then
`unicorn` and `unicorn_rails`. Everything gave me the same error:
"/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-3.0.0.beta3/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:209:in
`require': no such file to load -- sqlite_adapter (LoadError)". I
commented gem 'unicorn' back out in my Gemfile, and I still get the
error. `git diff` and `git status` both confirm that nothing in my
project is different from when it would run. How does `bundle install`
break things this badly? The error says sqlite_adapter could not be
found. I tried to install it, but it doesn't seem to exist.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

I'm thinking the problem will be found in APP_HOME/.bundle/environment.rb.

Actually that file doesn't exist. The only file in the directory was
config; the contents of which are below:

---
BUNDLE_WITHOUT: ""

Plus after the first project stopped working, I got the exact same
error in another (Rails 3) project that used to work. I tried removing
the directory, but still nothing.

Strange. I'm assuming your Gemfile has a line like this?

    gem 'sqlite3-ruby', :require=>"sqlite3"

New venue this week - Cloo's Coney Island gets rave reviews, and it's
right up the "strip" from Ruckus. I'll be there around 5:30, and would
love to have anyone and everyone join me to chat a bit and unwind
before heading over to Red Hat for the meeting proper.

See you there!

Subject: [raleigh.rb] Looking for a Ruby on Rails Developer
Message-ID: <p2j83afce81004241507hd12ecf0fr42c1dadb4e0dd264@mail.gmail.com>

Hey Raleigh RB folks,

I'm creating a startup that will be an online marketplace to find
Security Professionals (people to do a security audit on your site).
We are building the site in Ruby on Rail.  I'm looking to bring in
someone else for part time contract work to help build the site.
Ideally, I would find someone who is interested in working for part
cash, and part equity - but this is negotiable.

Timeline:
I hope to find a person who is a good fit by the end of this coming
week, and then have them start as early as May 1st.  We hope to have
MVP out live my June 1st, with continued work after that as needed.

What I'm looking for in a developer:
- Someone who is comfortable working on shared code
- Someone who can build a very user friendly UI.  I don't need them to
be a graphic designer - I will bring in someone else for that, but I
want the person to be good at building a usable workflow for the end
user.
- Someone who is interested in web security would be a super bonus

It would be a work-from-home gig, but I would want to touch base in
person once or twice a week to do mind-melds.

If you are interested, shoot me some info (resume, portfolio,
whatever).  And of course, feel free to shoot me questions if you have
any.  Much obliged.

Subject: [raleigh.rb] discounted ticket to RailsConf 2010 available
Message-ID: <y2r949d1b751004300751u27c2be5ald1ab4de09a724126@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

Anyone out there wanting to attend RailsConf, but didn't register before the
early-bird pricing expired?  If so, we have a "Conference Sessions" pass
which we can no longer use.

Rather than simply cancel the registration and pay the processing fee, I
thought there might be someone in the local Ruby community that might want
it.  According to the conference website, transferring a registration to
another person is completely fine.  (
https://en.oreilly.com/rails2010/public/register)

Because of the processing fee involved if we cancel, we are willing to sell
our ticket for even less than what we paid: $650!  If you were to buy this
pass today, it would cost you $795.

Like I mentioned previously, this is a "Conference Session" pass which
covers:**

   - All sessions (Tuesday ? Thursday)
   - All keynotes
   - Exhibit Hall & all events held there
   - All on-site networking events
   - All BoFs
   - Lunch (Tuesday ? Thursday)
   - RailsConf T-Shirt

This offer is good through May 5.

If you're interested or have any questions, please feel free to contact me
via email at jay.thrash at pobox.com

cheers,
-Jay

Subject: [raleigh.rb] Off-topic, best firmware for WRT-54G
Message-ID: <z2mdeb2337a1004301020se822cf1cja94ce5b38f8367a2@mail.gmail.com>

I was just curious what people who have these are using these days.

I've been running OpenWrt Kamikaze - With X-Wrt Extensions 7.09.

I hadn't used this router for a while, relying on a single Airport
express for quite a while.  Since I got my iPad I needed better
coverage of the whole house so I pulled out the old Linksys.

I actually turn off the router functions of both of these, and use
them more as wireless access points, both wired to the LAN.

I'd tried before, and failed to set up wds between OpenWrt and the
AEX.  I'm pretty sure that I did have both the WRT and AEX running
before with the same essid and channel, much as they would be with
WDS, but wired.

Now that doesn't seem to work, when I tried, the iPad at least, didn't
seem to see either, so I switched to two different channels and
essids. But this means that devices don't automatically switch to
whichever has the stronger signal as I move about the house.

So is there a better setup?   What about Tomato?  Does anyone have any
experience or recommendations.

I like dd-wrt. One thing to watch out for with WDS is it can really
kill your wireless bandwidth. The reason being that there is usually
only one radio in wireless devices so your access point has to stop
talking to your computer to talk to the upstream access point.

I'm also running dd-wrt on 2 routers.  I chose it primarily b/c VPN support is easier to implement than on Tomato. Installation on this Asus router was easy and has been solid for months:

WDS is not necessary if you have both wired in.  Just cable in to one of 
the switch ports on the non-routing access point.

I have my wireless set up on different channels and the same ESSID. 
Works well under both OpenWRT and the default firmware.  I don't have an 
AEX, but I can say my laptop and iPod Touch do work fine on my wireless 
in that mode with 2 OpenWRT routers.

BTW, might be time to upgrade to something a bit more modern then 7.09.
The 8.09 releases up to 8.09.2 included a number of security fixes.  Of 
course, not critical if it's not being used as your external router...

I still haven't tried 10.03 wireless on my WRT54GL with the new 2.6 
kernel wireless drivers yet, but the 2.4 kernel version works without 
problems anyway.
