Tracking Historical Performance
"I'd like to send a small update on my progress on the Performance Tracker project," noted Erik Cederstrand on the FreeBSD -current mailing list. He continued, "I now have a small setup of a server and a slave chugging along, currently collecting data. I'm following CURRENT and collecting results from super-smack and unixbench." The project performs regular benchmarks of the FreeBSD -current source tree using Unixbench and Super Smack, allowing you to chart the results over time. Erik highlighted an example of a visible change in performance when the generic kernel moved from the 4BSD scheduler to the ULE scheduler on October 19th, 2007.
Kris Kennaway responded favorably, then noted, "one suggestion I have is that as more metrics are added it becomes important for an 'at a glance; overview of changes so we can monitor for performance improvements and regressions among many workloads." He went on to suggest, "at some point the ability to annotate the data will become important (e.g. 'We understand the cause of this, it was r1.123 of foo.c, which was corrected in r1.124. The developer responsible has been shot.")" Erik agreed with both recommendations, and noted that he would continue to work in that direction.

Gaboogie, the Conference that Calls You
While they can’t eliminate the actual conference calls themselves, the founders of a new service called Gaboogie want to help reduce the administrative headaches of setting up and conducting conference calls, starting with a feature that calls the participants directly.
If Gaboogie’s web-based setup delivers as promised and eliminates the need for lengthy passwords, pin numbers and other prompts, they might just succeed in getting people to actually participate in conference calls, instead of cursing and dialing and redialing, trying to connect. What more, they promise cooperation with your Google calendar as well.
The brainchild of VoIP veteran Erik Lagerway (founder of SIP softphone concern XTen, now known as CounterPath) and Daniel Gibbons, Gaboogie also offers the ability to record and syndicate calls via RSS, just in case someone wasn’t able to participate on time — imagine that! Pricing is sold through bundles of Gaboogie minutes, starting at $30 for 250 minutes (and a maximum 150 participants), up to $500 for 10,000 minutes. Gaboogie is live Monday, at Gaboogie.com.
