On a whim, I asked the students if they used Firefox and around 80 hands went up. For OpenOffice and Linux the respective numbers were 20 and 10. Later on, I asked the students if they were using Firefox because the college had mandated it. Their answer was that they were using it because they really liked it.

I'd say that there are various ways and means to arrive at popularity scenarios and none of them are aimed to make everybody happy. A software would have repeated usage from same user and increased uptake once it provides the functionality desired by the user with the performance levels expected during such increased usage.

The all so important question to which honestly there should not be one single answer :) I'd say take a look around the Fedora Project and look at what interests you. You state you are working in a software company - perhaps there are some tools you would like to see part of Fedora. If you look at it in the proper fashion - providing an answer to your question with the most minimal set of data is kind of impossible. I'd say the best you can contribute is subscribe to various Fedora lists and start helping out end users of Fedora and in the process learn it yourself :Sankarshan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFG59gtXQZpNTcrCzMRAgVNAJ9d+45wHr41apEmjAYQ0NJaAhezGwCdFLR3 JPmuPX9l3zeRVkkkysr7G64= =aO33 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From thinklinux.ssh at gmail.com Wed Sep 12 20:53:12 2007 From: thinklinux.ssh at gmail.com (susmit shannigrahi) Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2007 02:23:12 +0530 Subject: [IMP] Call for participation in freedom toaster alike project.

After successful install-fests and establishing a public mirror consisting of different Distros [Its up, details are coming once we harden the box], the WBUT-LUG is going to undertake another ambitious project which is much like the Freedom Toaster project. First we are going to place the machine at WBUT so that people can come and burn the distros they want. We also look forward to spread that to different colleges. Hereby we are calling for participation in the freedom toaster alike project. People in and around kolkata is preferred , so that they can come down personally, but they need not be WBUT students. Please note its not going to be a replica of the freedom toaster project. We shall write our own softwares and change the specs according to our needs.[so that participants can spend a few sleepless nights :). ] We are also going to make our own kiosk, so we also need people who can do mechanical engg jobs. For any further quary or expression of interest, please post a message to the list with your details. Alternately you can contact me or idg. Hope to hear from you soon.

A pitch on the > viability of learning with open code might work. We are building a Fedora mirror in NIT Hamirpur (http://fedora.glug-nith.org/), but I do not think that we have enough bandwidth to become an official mirror. The institute has a 10 Mbps (= 2 + 8) leased line, and they plan to reserve 1Mbps for the server hosting the mirror in the near future. A bit of haggling can even extend it to 2 Mbps, but that is a far cry from the official requirement. Similar is the story of WBUT in West Bengal. The issue is not with hardware (the NIT Hamirpur mirror runs on a quad-core PPC64 server with 7.5GB RAM), but with bandwidth.

Then at least we know they exist. In addition, they can add a list of IP network blocks that they wish to serve into the MM database. This will cause their users in those netblocks to be automaticly directed to their local private mirror - no config changes on the user's system is then required. If someone wants to do this, they must also run the report_mirror script on their mirror server, to inform the MM database about which content they're carrying. This way users only get directed to the mirror for content that is actually mirrored, and to other mirrors for content not avaialble locally.

They can help with the hardware though. >> All these institutes depend on the commercial service providers for the bandwidth which is costly in spite of the discounts offered. Till such time ERNET is completely revived and made stronger and is properly connected with NIXI at all NIXI nodes this bandwidth crisis for the institutes shall continue. The present approach can be to request service providers like BSNL and VSNL to provide some mirrors as they have hardware and bandwidth in plenty. IIT - Madras hosts a mirror for debian for public use. May they can be approached for fedora as well. with Regards, ASHWIN ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better Heartthrob.
