Do you like Food and Open Source?

If so, then why not help out at the Chef Moz project!

This is an online dining guide (a part of the Open Directory Project, and all the data is available with a free license.

The project accepts submissions of new restaurants - there are now more than 2 million entries worldwide - and reviews of those restaurants, and all contributions are checked by volunteer editors: I'm one of them. A system of moderation is the only way to keep the data useful (a disgruntled employee's "review" is really easy to spot).

Please help: enter or review restaurants near you, and if contributing to an open directory project is to your liking, apply to become an editor for your town. I am editor for Tustin and Irvine California (I've applied for a few more).

I've been making it a point to eat at many of the small restaurants in town, always taking a to-go menu with me, and I've discovered some real gems.

It's a worthy project.

Hi Steve. This is unrelated to your post and even to your blog (which is very interesting, btw).

I just would like to let you know that that (very old?) tech tip for importing exchange 5.5 (!!) users to a postfix recipient maps is still very useful.

link: http://www.unixwiz.net/techtips/postfix-exchange-users.html

I've just completed the whole process, and the tips you provided were very precise! It took me just an hour to set it all ready.

I was used to build exchange users list using an LDAP tool, but that would just work if the Exchange Server were 2000 or newer.

Thank you very much for all your contribution!
