Plone + Lighttpd + Varnish follow-up

Earlier I posted about my efforts to get a Plone site running, together with Varnish for caching and Lighttpd for Load balancing. Our plans have now come to fruition and the site is running in its full glory at http://hhlinuxclub.org.

We’re still planning on producing a tutorial based on our experience and hope that the site will be of use to outsiders as well.

Today I’ve been taking a look at sources for free music and thus here’s a quick round up for you.

Freedom Fry

In honour of GNU’s 25th birthday, Stephen Fry has posted a video on the gnu.org explaining Free Software in layman’s terms. Have a look above, or get the original (high-quality) OGG file from http://www.gnu.org/fry.

Plone + Lighttpd + Varnish

I’ve spent the day with a friend of mine seting up the backend for our university’s Linux Club website. The website will use Plone with caching by Varnish and load balancing with Lighttpd.  This setup seems to be working quite nicely now and in time, when the website is finished we’ll try and publish a tutorial of some sort on the site.  I’ll be sure to keep everyone posted about how this develops.  The next step will be creating a new design for the site.

Open Source CMS Market Share

Water & Stone have completed a survey on the popularity of different open source content management systems (CMS). The survey uses a variety of metrics to assess popularity. While the results vary across different metrics, “in almost every metric, the Top 3 spots were held by Drupal, Joomla! and WordPress.”

It is also worth noting that the Water & Stone whitepaper is published under a Creative Commons BY-NC (3.0) license.
