Today was the Apache Software Foundation members’ meeting, where we elected a new Board of Directors. That Board consists of:

  • Christofer Dutz
  • Christopher Schultz
  • Emmanuel Lécharny
  • Greg Stein
  • Jean-Baptiste Onofre
  • Justin Mclean
  • Sander Striker
  • Shane Curcuru
  • Zili Chen

I did not stand for reelection. After 11 years on the board (not all consecutive), it’s time for me to work on something else for a bit. This means that this is the first time since 2012 that I have not had a formal title at the ASF. During that time I was Director, VP Conferences, and Executive Vice President. Now I’m just a regular Member. And I’m greatly looking forward to working through my massive ToDo list around Community Development stuff that has been accumulating for the last few years!

Las Vegas, the Fourth Circle

reflections on Last Vegas
Re:Invent, 2025

From the moment I
emerge from the A321 at Harry Reid,
into the Fourth Circle of the Inferno,
the auditory assault commences.

Bells and klaxons accompanied by
leering show girls and roaring dragons.

There is so much to be won!
Perhaps not by you.

I, the reluctant Candide,
running the auto da fé
for listening to the heresy of Pangloss:
This year will be fun!

I had breakfast this morning
at a lovely French café
at the base of an ersatz Eiffel,
the waiter shouting
from a few centimeters away
to enquire how I would
desire mes oeufs.
I yelled back that over easy would be
magnifique.

The cacophany is constant
the bells, bells, bells, bells
the clamor and the clangor of the bells!

While I desire, in the words of James Kirkup,
the sanctuary of the guestroom
where the bedlam is muffled,
but still unremitting.

Soon I must emerge, and go to work,
incredulous, as each year
that these throngs come here
voluntarily.

DDOS?

A couple of weeks ago I posted a recording of “The Veldt”, by Ray Bradbury, which I recorded for my son.

Today I got a notice from my web host that I had used 75% of my bandwidth allocation for the month – something which has never happened since I was slashdotted back in the 90s. Poking around, it appears that thousands of requests were beind made for that mp3 file. There have been almost a half million requests for the file so far this month.

A quick mod_security rule, and fail2ban is now blocking 187 clients, and that’s growing at a rate of about one per second.

I have absolutely no idea why this would be happening.

Which Glen

Which Glen
(Banners, Lexington, KY)

They can never remember which Glen —
fiddich or livet
But they know it’s one of those,
and that when Maria’s order comes in
that’s for me.

Maybe some day they’ll remember my name
and possibly even which Glen
but this is a good start.

The Margin Is Too Narrow
