As with any new endeavor, it pays to spend some time trying various solutions out and sometimes failing miserably. This is especially true for us progressive nerds who like to live on the bleeding edge without things like Stack Overflow to constantly save our ass. What I’d like to do is to help you avoid going through the pain of figuring out what works and what doesn’t.

I recently discovered ChiliProject, which is a fork of the Redmine project, and thought I’d take it for a spin. While Redmine project is very stable, it is a little slow to implement new functionality. That appears to be the primary reason for the ChiliProject fork. After browsing through their documentation and doing some google digging, I noticed that there is little to no information on how to deploy ChiliProject to Tomcat. I thought I’d take the time to try to fill the gap a little. It is my hope that this guide will serve as a reference for those of you who are working in primarily Tomcat-oriented shops, but are interested in test driving a high quality ruby-based app without having to setup the required apache+passenger (or nginx+passenger) infrastructure.

Shortly after Fedora 15 was GA’d, I decided to take the plunge and give Gnome 3 a try. Gnome 3 is, in my humble opinion, such a drastic change from the traditional desktop environment that I have had a very difficult time adjusting to how different it is. Call me old fashioned, but I like a few icons on my desktop, a fixed dock for shortcuts to my favorite applications, and a minimize button. My first Gnome 3 experience on my laptop, which I use for testing new releases, was a failure. Therefore, when it came time to upgrade my main desktop at work, I chose to once again attempt a conversion to KDE 4.
