<h4>the "bring unices together" technical and social project</h4>

<h2>Motivation</h2>
|
||||||
|
There are many different Unix versions ("Unices") out there today.
|
||||||
|
As a
|
||||||
|
<a href="http://nico.schottelius.org/documentations/foss/the-term-foss/">FOSS</a>
|
||||||
|
developer I interact with many different developers, who, like me, use many
|
||||||
|
different versions of Unix.
|
||||||
|
Many parts of each Unix are beeing reinvented over and over again, which is not
|
||||||
|
bad in general (things are beeing improved).
|
||||||
|
The question is:
|
||||||
|
<b>Why should one Unix not use the advantages another Unix has?</b>
|
||||||
|
The other motivation is to reduce the gap between different Unices: So
|
||||||
|
a Unix admin can easily use and hack for Unix B, if she only knows Unix A.
|
||||||
|
Thus, if she creates a cool feature for Unix A to speedup the boot process
|
||||||
|
to last only 0.5 seconds, she can submit it to developers of Unix C to Z.
|
||||||

<h2>Ideas and status</h2>
|
||||||
|
There are already many ongoing efforts in this direction (see below
|
||||||
|
for examples), but this is a different idea: It's a platform for Unixers
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>to exchange their ideas and code,
|
||||||
|
<li>to improve their Unix,
|
||||||
|
<li>to share cool ideas,
|
||||||
|
<li>to propose standards to be used among Unices,
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
<i>independently of the Unix (they|you) are using!</i>
|
||||||
|
<p>As most Unixers like easy to use interfaces, I chose to create
|
||||||
|
a new <a href="http://l.schottelius.org/mailman/listinfo/u2u">mailing list</a>
|
||||||
|
(just because I think that newsreaders suck more than MUAs).
|
||||||
|
The difference to existing projects is, that it is <b>not</b> focussed
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>on a specific feature,
|
||||||
|
<li>a specific version
|
||||||
|
<li>or a specific area.
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
Nor is the idea of this project to create a
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>feature rich, fast development (<b>Linux</b>),
|
||||||
|
<li>everywhere running (<b>NetBSD</b>),
|
||||||
|
<li>fast (<b>FreeBSD</b>),
|
||||||
|
<li>secure (<b>OpenBSD</b>)
|
||||||
|
<li>and commercially supported (<b>Solaris</b>)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
<i>Unix</i>.
|
||||||
|
What this project may possibly be able to do is
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>to bring people together,
|
||||||
|
<li>to create a spring board into the Unix scene,
|
||||||
|
<li>to prevent you from making the same mistakes others did before
|
||||||
|
<li>and to let people create real projects somewhere else.
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
So, written enough for now:
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><a href="http://l.schottelius.org/mailman/listinfo/u2u">Subscribe
|
||||||
|
to the mailing list</a>,
|
||||||
|
<li>blame me for this website,
|
||||||
|
<li>tell me that it is
|
||||||
|
(unecessary|has already been done|<<i>insert flame|praise here</i>>)
|
||||||
|
<li>and then let others know, what cool ideas you've in your mind.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

<h2>Examples</h2>
|
||||||
|
<P>Some projects I'm aware of, which bring together Unices:
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><a href="http://wiki.x.org/">Xorg</a> - Which Unix does not have it?
|
||||||
|
<li><a href="http://www.gnu.org">GNU</a> - Although they are not Unix
|
||||||
|
<li><a href="http://www.bsd.org/">The BSDs</a> The fast, secure and portable operating systems
|
||||||
|
<li><a href="http://nico.schottelius.org/documentations/specifications/efsh/">EFSH</a> -
|
||||||
|
Nico Schottelius' proposal of a generic easy filesystem hierarchy
|
||||||
|
(this is <b>not</b> related to LSB
|
||||||
|
<li><a href="http://nico.schotteli.us/papers/linux/cconfig/">cconfig</a> -
|
||||||
|
Nico Schottelius' proposal of a configuration format
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
