After EasyHotspot first released, we have many responses from users .. we learn from that.. in this next released we try to fix and add new features to it. This is some of the most wanted new features :

  • Non Simultaneous use
  • Force disconnect
  • Language Support

i hope we could have it around mid of november 2008, since EasyHotspot goes to Asia Pacific ICT Award 08 so i need to spend more my free time to this event. I need your support to help EasyHotspot get better and can be the best on Asia Pacific ICT Award 2008.

I’ve registered EasyHotspot to INAICTA 2008 (Indonesia National ICT Awards). INAICTA is the annual appreciation event to development of ICT industry in Indonesia. This is my first experience in INAICTA.

Thx God EasyHotspot has passed the elimination round. Now we have 10 nominators, i dont know for sure what are they creating, but from their names its sounds good. The main objective in this event is i want to present EasyHotspot as best as i could and hopefully EasyHotspot become the “best” on this event. It is not how to win the battle, its how to win the war. EasyHotspot is not made for win the competitions, but to ease people who want to build a hotspot. Thats what i mean … ;)

Actually EasyHotspot is not 100% made by me, there’s a lot of contribution from the community, from the idea, critics, bugs report, translation etc. It is so nice that i could share, communicate, and learn with others, its nice for me to contribute back to the Open Source community. Thanks ..

After ITS, now we have another mirror in Indonesia. Here’s another mirror from indonesia :

use easyhotspot;
ALTER TABLE billingplan CHANGE price price FLOAT( 11 ) NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE postplan CHANGE price price FLOAT( 11 ) NOT NULL;

Yesterday i tried to add sitemap.xml on easyhotspot server (sourceforge.net). On the next day i try if its works, and unfortunately it is not yet. BUT i found this :

Thanks to ITS for your contribution to EasyHotspot :)

Stayros Tzetzailidis told me that his user cant be automaticaly disconnected when they reached their limit. And i confirmed that bugs … To avaoid it simply remove the comments (“#”) from freeradius conf. Open /etc/freeradius/radiusd.conf and find ‘#noresetcounter’ and ‘#octetslimit’ in authorize section or you can download the patch and then replace the /etc/freeradius/radiusd.conf. Sorry for this bugs.

Try EasyHotspot Beta release :
