Is there a way to ban this from the mailing list ?
He is spamming and annoying a lot of people, on this list, on LKML, now the president of Singapore ?!?

I'm a bit running out of Zen .. (though Xen still works as it should be ;-) )

+1 - he's on my local junk list anyway, but his mails keep eating up my

lol.

It's not that. Sometimes when I notice there is a serious mistake or 
there is something useful to be updated, I will update my Xen 
documentation and increase version number by 0.1.

Thank you very much.

Re: Teo En Ming's Xen, Linux Kernel and Xen 4.2-unstable VGA Passthrough Documentation (Version 1.7 Released)

[Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)]

Dear Sander,

I make changes and update my Xen documentation every now and then. Have 
you read through my documentation?

I think newbie Xen users would find it useful to have my Xen 
documentation. I have consolidated, centralized, listed out every step 
and covered everything to get Xen, virtual machines and VGA Passthrough 
up and running. I have also covered a lot of topics, including firewall 
configuration to protect Xen networking.

Just now, I was having problems with my internet connection at home. I 
have trouble connecting to the SMTP server. That's why my single email 
becomes sent twice.

I wouldn't want to upload my Xen documentation on FREE file hosting 
sites like rapidshare, megaupload (closed by FBI), mediafire, etc, 
because I know my files are not permanent and would be deleted after 7 
or 30 days. I know that with xen mailing lists, my Xen documentation 
gets permanent file hosting, and free too.

Thank you very much.

Yours sincerely,

Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)
Singapore

Then the correct thing to do is either:
* Put the data into the xen.org wiki, or
* Host the files yourself somewhere.

It's important that we not consume subscribers' bandwidth
unnecessarily.  If you persist in sending pdf attachments, we may have
to ask the mail admins to block pdf attachments entirely.

Dear George Dunlap,

Noted with thanks.

I have created only 3 Xen wiki pages recently and somebody edited and 
messed up my Xen wiki pages. I will request Lars Kurth to see if it's 
possible to make my own Xen wiki pages read-only.

I _will not_ be sending any more emails to xen mailing lists with PDF 
document attachments.

Thank you very much.

It's not possible and neither is necessary to make pages read-only. Have
a look here:
 http://wiki.xen.org/wiki?title=Xen_VGA_Passthrough_to_Windows_8_with_Xen_4.2-unstable&action=history

As you see, the wiki preserves the history of what happens to a page, so
you can restore it to whatever status you like, like, e.g., this one:
 http://wiki.xen.org/wiki?title=Xen_VGA_Passthrough_to_Windows_8_with_Xen_4.2-unstable&oldid=2945

And I'm sure you can do that yourself (without bothering Lars) as you're
the author of the page.

That would be great, thanks. :-)

Dario

Dear Dario,

That's great. I didn't know you can roll back changes to a wiki page 
until you mentioned it. It's like creating system restore points on 
Windows and rolling back changes to a known good previous configuration.

Thank you very much for sharing this information with me.

Dear Chris,

Sure, I will put my formatted text on the Xen wiki. But nowadays, people 
are attaching all kinds of file attachments/document formats in emails. 
I am very surprised Xen users and developers are so hard up against PDF. 
PDF is known as Portable Document Format and it is very popular.

Thank you very much.

It is very difficult to edit PDFs, so contributing is a pain.
When you have a wiki page it's easy for *everyone* to edit and contribute.

Not to mention we don't need to receive emails simply when a document is

Hi Teo,

Thankyou for the work you are doing documenting VGA passthrough, the
Xen community is in dire need of more people contributing well written
and comphrensive guides.
However PDF isn't the greatest format for consumption as it's hard to
index, requires an X session to read and is much harder to edit
collaboratively.
As others have mentioned, the Wiki is the most ideal format we have
for sharing documentation right now.
Lars and a number of the other members of the community have put a
massive amount of work into making the wiki the one-stop-shop for Xen
know-how and it would be really awesome if we could add to this
knowledge contained in the wiki.

If you would like I can help you format your document on the wiki so
that it is readable and well presented. :)

Take for instance the Beginners guide I wrote earlier this year that
presents quite well in wiki format:
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Beginners_Guide

Joseph.

Dear Joseph Glanville,

Thank you very very much for your appreciation of my time and effort 
spent on writing Xen, Linux Kernel and Xen VGA Passthrough guides. Thank 
you very much.

As for the PDF document format, I think Google is indexing it. In 
addition, nowadays, almost everybody is using graphical desktops with 
X.org X server and either GNOME, KDE, XFCE, LXDE, or Unity GUI Desktop 
Environments. Even normal web surfing and reading Xen Wikis would 
require a X session.

I would be very happy and appreciative if you could hep me format my Xen 
documentation/how to/tutorials/guides on the Xen Wiki.

Thank you very much.
