Hi LUV members,
1. As you certainly know, you can still lodge proxies until 7pm
tonight.
2. For the proxies I've received so far, I've been sending
individual confirmations to the members. I figured it would
be comforting to get acknowledgement that your proxy had been
received, and hadn't disappeared into the aether.
I mention this because I probably won't have time to do this
for any proxies I receive from here on in. So if you send
your proxy now, you probably won't get any explicit
acknowledgement before the AGM. It'll be open-loop.

In the past I've been using HP servers with 3rd party components (disks/memory) as these are often well overpriced for the same components with a HP logo on them. The latest round of servers appear to be adopting some technologies from printers and complaining when non-HP components are installed.
I need a tower with similar build quality to a HP that comes with all the caddies etc that is known to run Linux well (it will be a Bacula server).
Any suggestions?
Thanks
James

In this proposal, all the details are of course the subject of
discussion between interested parties and Member contribution will be
welcome. The actual agreement if we get there will be agreed to by LA
and LUV. Consistent with the spirit, I will suggest that the LA rep
will be appointed by LA and up to them how they decide who that person
may be.

Well I am a Member of LA myself!! And I dont claim to represent LA on
the Ctte. Russell was "elected" the Ctte in his own right, not as a
representative of LA. I mean by a representative, someone authorised by
the LA Council to speak on its behalf and report back to it. The LA
rep position will be guaranteed irrespective of the outcome of the LUV
Ctte election. Of course it's entirely possible for a future the LUV
Ctte to think all this is crap, but then LA will be entitled to renege
on any agreement that may been in place.

Absolutely agree here. The formality is only in a one time agreement,
but how that plays itself out on a day to day basis can be as formal or
informal as we like.

Already slept!! haha.

I have a program that keeps crashing. gdb is next to useless as it gives a "generic error" enumerating threads most of the time, and even when it doesn't none of the backtraces make any sense (mostly 0's and random values). It's a heisenbug so the fault cannot be reproduced under valgrind.
Is there any way I can do a reasonableness test on the stack from C/C++? At a minimum I think all I would need to do is get the return address and check that is within a certain range and not null's etc.
Thanks
James
