Hi Oguz, I usually don't use our IRC channel, but we have others that often do. You may find the channel alone, indeed, but we always respond to inquiries in our mailing lists. What project are you interested in? On Sat, Mar 17, 2012 at 9:44 AM, Luis A. Bastiao Silva <lui...@gm...>wrote: > Umit-devel is the right place to ask.

Umit-devel is the right place to ask. But what do you intend to know?

As you may already know, Umit Project is in as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2011, and it happens that we just got through the selection process, and earlier today Google announced the winning students! This year, Umit received 42 proposals, from 40 talented students from almost all continents in the world! We were absolutely astonished with so many talented students willing to work with us this season. So many proposals took us a long while to evaluate, and all of them involved a long process interacting with the student and assessing their capabilities, time commitments, etc. Personally, I loved to interact with all of them, and just figured that they're all very talented and probably a good fit for helping us out at Umit, but our resources aren't infinite and we had to make a choice! We were extremely happy to figure that Google has granted us 8 slots this year, and we're very excited with how much we can do with that. Thank you Google! Please, join us welcoming the students that will code with us this season at Google Summer of Code 2011! Zubair Nabi is from Pakistan, and is going to help us change the world in the coolest summer project of his life, developing the Internet Connectivity Monitor mobile agent for Android devices. He had a very tough decision to make when he figured that all three organizations he applied for have accepted him (Apache, Umit and Globus Alliance), and we were astonished to figure that he chose us to stick with for this Summer! Luis Bastião is going to mentor Zubair this Summer. Diogo Pinheiro is from Portugal, and worked with us in the past, during GSoC 2010, providing several improvements to our Network Scanner. This time, he is aiming at making a dent in the world in the coolest summer project of his life, developing the Internet Connectivity Monitor Aggregator, that will provide people with real time information about any connectivity issues in their regions. Adriano Marques will mentor Diogo this Summer. Zhongjie Wang (Alan) is from China, and challenged us with new concepts and ideas on how to better implement the Internet Connectivity Monitor Agent in the coolest summer project of his life. Alan told us about his great desire to develop a challenging project like this, and hey... you got it! Adriano Marques will mentor Alan this Summer. Dragoş Dena is from Romania, and he is going to implement the Next Generation of our Network Inventory, making it more useful for large networks. During summer, he helped us in one of our hackathons to deliver a new release, and showed a great talent and desire to help our community. Kudos for Dragoş! Guilherme Polo will mentor Dragoş this Summer. Gaurav Ranjan is from India, and he wants to bring our Network Scanner to the next level, by adding ipv6 support and several other nifty features, aiming for a 2.0 release by the end of this Summer! Gaurav showed a great desire to participate, technical knowledge and was capable to debate and adjust his proposal to comply with Network Scanner's goals. Hey Gaurav, take good care of our beloved Network Scanner! Bartosz Skowron will mentor Gaurav this Summer. Guilherme Rezende is from Brazil, and the second Guilherme in our team. I Bet this is a good sign ;-) He wants to alleviate the pain out of debugging VoIP networks by implementing auditing tools for the SIP protocols to be integrated in our Packet Manipulator, using our Audits Framework. Guilherme has worked for telecoms for a while, and he surely knows the pain it is to audit and keep a large network running. Francesco Piccino will mentor Guilherme this Summer. Angad Singh is from Singapore, and he proposed us a very solid approach on how to port our Network Scanner to Android devices. He fought for his idea, and we bought his vision. Now, by the end of this summer, network scanner will also give you nice scanning results while in your mobile. João Medeiros is going to mentor Angad this Summer. Piotrek Wasilewski is from Poland, and the third Polish to join own team (yeah... bet it is a good sign also) and his goal for this summer is to deliver a full featured real cloud based Network Scanner, that will allow for easily storing and searching though results, scheduling scans, receiving results by email and much more. Rodolfo Carvalho will mentor Piotrek this Summer. We really wanted to have the resources to mentor all students and for that reason we created the Umit Summer of Code program, where we can accomodate more students than in the GSoC version. There are many other initiatives like USoC in the Open Source community. A friend of ours took the time to list them, and made a very nice post in her blog listing her findings. Thank you Google and everyone that submitted a proposal to Umit Project. We hope we can all work together this Summer to make a change in the world. --- Adriano Monteiro Marques http://www.thoughtspad.com http://www.umitproject.org http://blog.umitproject.org http://www.pythonbenelux.org "Don't stay in bed, unless you can make money in bed." - George Burns |

Hello Folks, I'm pleased to announce that this year we'll be hosting another Umit Summer of Code! In 2009 Umit Project received a lot of good proposals for GSoC, and some students contacted us wishing to accomplish their projects without the sponsorship of GSoC. USoC (Umit Summer of Code) was born in 2009 with the goal of supporting students not sponsored by GSoC. Even without any stipend, the students have accomplished their projects and they're still contributing in our community. And we give them back some other non-financial benefits that are really worthwhile! Kasina, one of our volunteers for USoC 2009 have successfully accomplished his project and was hired by Amazon early this year. When we asked him if USoC made any difference while trying to get this chance with Amazon, he just said that USoC played an important role on showing them his potential as a programmer. This year we have decided to open the program again, and everyone is welcome to join us! Checkout more details about that at Umit's blog [1]. Kind Regards, [1] - http://blog.umitproject.org/2010/05/umit-summer-of-code-2010-call-for.html --- Adriano Monteiro Marques http://www.thoughtspad.com http://www.umitproject.org http://blog.umitproject.org http://www.pythonbenelux.org "Don't stay in bed, unless you can make money in bed." - George Burns |

Folks, I'm glad to announce that Umit is participating in Google Summer of Code 2010 through Nmap! Though we were not accepted as a mentoring organization, those willing to apply as students for Umit may send their proposals to Nmap indicating that you wish to have it developed for Umit. Here is the flyer[0], and hurry because applications deadline is April 9th. If you have any doubts, ask away in the list! We'll be glad to help. More details[1]. Check our ideas page [2]!! Special thanks for Fyodor and Leslie and their support to Umit!

Hello Folks, This e-mail is long but very important. Everyone should read it carefully. It contains some news about the organization, and other cool stuffs. Web Site and Repositories Migration This weekend, me and Rodolfo will be conducting a migration of our website, trac and repository to a new server. We ask everyone to hold your commits after 13/02/2010 at 08:00 AM BRT at this time we'll be dumping the repo and starting the migration. By the end, we'll test the repository and whenever we have it ready we'll be sending another message to this mailing list to let everybody know that the repository is once again available. The website and trac may be unavailable as well during the migration. The blog will suffer only a DNS migration, so it should be painless. UmitProject.com We all love Umit and Open Source, but we need to make money to live. Living for GSoC is not a solution for our needs also, though it is quite a nice help for our students. We all know that Umit has grown only during GSoC seasons, and that's very comprehensible as everyone here needs to work somewhere else to get the money for the rest of the year. What we need for Umit is a way to keep the development up all year long, and offer financial support to our developers to help us with that. Therefore, after a lot of time thinking and defining a business model, we decided to incorporate Umit. Our main goal is to sell services, and pay our contributors to work on our clients' needs. With the money we get from our client, we'll afford our contributors to develop for Umit. Whatever solution we may develop for our clients, we'll try to release as Open Source in our repositories. If there is money left, we'll offer bounties, and sponsor our Umit Summer of Code Students. Isn't it an awesome idea? Everybody is going to benefit: the community, our clients and mainly our contributors: The community will get better open source softwares, with more frequent releases and bug fixes. Our clients will benefit from the knowledge of a real world Open Source Organization, used to face big deals while developing a world wide used application as Umit. And our Contributors will finally make their living, full time, from Open Source software. The company is already incorporated in Brazil, and our HQ is located in Goiânia, Goias, right in the middle of the country. Although it was incorporated here, we don't intend to focus on brazilian clients only. We'll try to make deals in whatever country we may have a contributor. That's cool also, because it won't require our contributors to relocate, though we may do so if needed. After this weekend's migration, you'll notice that umitproject.com will now start to point to the corporation website and umitproject.org will point to the open source organization website. And finally, I'll be granting the copyrights of all Umit codebase to the incorporated company. That will grant a long life to all Umit softwares, and a reliable name to support our community in whatever needs they may present. I would like to stress that the corporation's goal is to support the Umit Project Open Source Organization, and keep it running in good stand and able to offer good solutions for our users. We do not intend to close any software, or to conduct the Open Source Organization in a way that may benefit the Corporation and negatively affect our community. The Corporation lives for the Open Source Organization, not the opposite. Invitation After announcing Umit's incorporation, we would like to invite everyone to contribute to Umit. That's the way we'll get to know you. If it happens that we close a deal in your area, we'll hire you. Google Summer of Code and Umit Summer of Code students are very good candidates for a job with us as the openings will appear. If you ever contributed to Umit yet, start now! Get used to our codebase, interact with our contributors, fix some bugs, develop a feature and we'll keep an eye on you whenever an opening appear. Google Summer of Code 2010 GSoC 2010 is on, and we're planing to participate once again this year! We answered to Leslie's call to help spread the word about the program, and we got in touch with 22 press meanings (magazines, newspapers, radio stations, tv stations and blogs) and we're getting some coverage from that. Here is Brazil, we already got coverage from 3 blogs (as far as I know by now) and our main technology magazine, INFO Exame. That will certainly help GSoC to get more students this year. We're planing to create some other advertisement materials, and we count with all our contributors to help spread the word in their regions. We expect all our contributors to get in touch with local press, and try to get some coverage on GSoC and our participation on the program (I suggest everyone to read Guerilla PR 2.0 to know how to draw media's attention), as well as getting in touch with universities to distribute our flyers and even present a talk on the matter, encouraging students to apply and teaching them how to write a good proposal. We're over 20 contributors by now, and if everybody do the same that I did, we'll certainly provide a consistent help to GSoC, the Open Source Community and to Umit Project. So, join us on spreading the word! Let me know if you need any help. Just drop me an e-mail and I can help you elaborate an email or document to send to press. Umit Summer of Code 2010 This is our second release of USoC, and last year we had a great success with our USoC heros! This year, we hope to achieve an ever greater success, and we'll try to improve the program format, rules and support. What we're offering: - Google's T-shirt (They always offer to send t-shirts to our contributors) - Participation certificate - Mentoring with one of our main contributors - Recommendation Letter - All the support you'll need to get your project sky rocketed - Better chance to get a job with us whenever we have openings - Some softwares licenses to help you work better with us By March we'll be releasing all the rules and the timeline for all those interested in participating. Stay tunned! Call for Proposals Right now we're defining what projects we'll propose to our students for GSoC and USoC 2010. If you have a great idea, just write it down and send it to us. You don't need to elaborate it as if you were applying for a spot at GSoC or USoC, but you need to clearly explain your idea, how it should be developed, who are the targeted users and any other detail you find useful to clarify your idea. Pictures, mockups, sketches are welcome! The deadline for sending these proposals is 8th March 2010.

Hi folks,
Some weeks ago I sent a patch to Launchpad [1].
The main propose it was to solve a traceback that appeared with conflits of
higwidgets of Zenmap or old versions of Umit.
Something like that:
"""
Umit Crash - ''HIGClosableTabLabel' object has no attribute
'get_animated_label'' [2]
"""
But I still fixed another features, so here is changelog:
---------------
umit (0.9.5-0ubuntu2) intrepid; urgency=low
* debian/patches/bugregister.patch: When an automatic bug report was
filed
in trac the developers were not able to close it. This is fixed by
setting the bug to new when it is filed.
- http://trac.umitproject.org/ticket/44
- debian/patches/setup.patch: Put the modules dir at the start of
sys.path so that it is not overriden by other things in the path
(LP: #264750)
- http://trac.umitproject.org/changeset/3742
* debian/patches/root.patch: Catch gobject.GError to prevent cancelling
gksu causing a traceback, and hence a bug to be filed automatically.
- fixed extraports warning: Scans made with extraports used was crashing
with a traceback (http://trac.umitproject.org/changeset/3628).

If you have some troubles let me know. And thanks for report.
Next step is close all duplicate bugs within Trac.
I'll do it soon.
New package available here:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/u/umit/umit_0.9.5-0ubuntu2_all.deb
[1] - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/umit/+bug/264750

Didn't like the $selected feature. Using variables in command line is confortable for us, developers, but not for newbies. I'm sure we can manage to have a more intuitive alternative, like simply right-clicking the host and select an option like "Scan further" or something like that. Keep usability in mind.

Hey all, I'd like to share a few ideas I have in mind for improving UmitMapper and RadialNet during this year's Summer of Code (if I get selected, of course). There are a couple of GUI improvements I was thinking about, and a couple of functional improvements, so I wanted to discuss them with you guys. I apologize for a somewhat long e-mail. *** First of all, what bothers me most when doing a Traceroute scan is that I have to know which hosts I want to scan *before* I start the scan - there is no way of appending a scan to an already existing scan/UmitMapper graph. Think, for example, scanning a couple of hosts with --traceroute and discovering a number of routers in between. Now, if I want to scan those routers as well (and see the info about them in UmitMapper), I have to make a *new* Umit scan, which will scan both the original hosts (which is redundant and intrusive) and the newly discovered routers. I think this can be eliminated in two ways, and I think both should be available to the user (I'm talking GUI here): 1) an "Append Scan..." button should be added to the UmitMapper tab, which would load an already existing .usr or .xml file into our UmitMapper graph. 2) we add a small gtk.Entry field at the bottom of the UmitMapper tab, which would act as a Nmap command line. Now, I'd really like to see this one come to life. Not only can it be used as a quick "oh let me re-scan that Linux box more thoroughly" tool, but it can also take advantage of the UmitMapper graph in order to ease the command entry (see below). All of the runtime changes to the graph (appended scans) should be saved to the DB, and when a user is satisfied with the resulting scan graph, a regular .usr file should be generated from the graph/DB data by clicking on "Save". *** One other thing I think would make a neat addition to UmitMapper is the ability to select nodes of interest in the graph. Various things can then be done with them, which I will explain below. For example: I've just enumerated a somewhat large subnet by means of host discovery + traceroute and I have 50+ live machines connected through a single router. Now, I've found a couple of machines I was interested in among the 50+ live hosts. What I would like to do now is *select* those machines in the graph (a new "Select Hosts" tool should be created in RadialNet), and append a scan (mentioned earlier) of just those couple of machines to the graph. I want to keep the original graph, because it gives me an idea of how the subnet is structured, but I also need additional info about those hosts. Then I can type something like "nmap -sV -A $selected" into that gtk.Entry box mentioned earlier, and that would scan the selected hosts and update the graph with the info. Another nice thing about the host selection tool is how it would (or should) affect the grouping tool. If I wanted to temporarily lighten the graph by grouping the children of the router node, all the sibling nodes would group into it, *except* the selected nodes. (This would add a little overhead of discovering if a node has any selected siblings and omitting them from the grouping operation.) *** As for the graphical representation of open/vulnerable ports on a host (mentioned on the Umit SoC Ideas page), I was thinking of representing them as little colored circles surrounding the host's circle itself. Combined with the "Vulnerabilities database system" project, the circles' color will be different according to the port's vulnerability (for example, services with known vulnerabilities are red, while services with no known vulnerabilities are green). Or perhaps the host node should be a gear, and the open ports would be its teeth (appropriately colored)? Either way, I think that this would be a big plus from a usability point of view, because when scanning large networks, one can easily detect the number of open/vulnerable ports across the scanned net, without the need for a "statistics window" or something similar. *** So, what do you think about it guys? Any input is highly appreciated! :) By the way, I was thinking of applying for both improving UmitMapper and cleaning up the DB and merging it with Umit. Is this possible at all? I have a very solid SQL knowledge and it would fit in nicely with those "on the fly" changes to the network graph I mentioned earlier. Cheers, Vladimir http://snipe714.googlepages.com/ |
