It is important to have a plan for what you want to do (in as specific details as possible) and, what you want to achieve out of the event. Additionally, it would be a good idea for you to find out the possibility of producing media or, stickers locally. It would also be nice to look for "experts" locally too :) -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work From kkmageshcse at gmail.com Sun May 3 09:55:58 2009 From: kkmageshcse at gmail.com (magesh) Date: Sun, 3 May 2009 15:25:58 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] network config problem...! hp laptop In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: > > > > Does the LED light glow when you plug the ethernet cable to the system? yes the LED glows well > > Open a terminal, and tell us the output of: > > sudo /etc/init.d/network restart Shutting down interface eth0 [ok] shutting down loopback interface: [ok] Bringing up interface eth0: Determining IP information for eth0...dhclient( 6232) is already running - exiting exiting. failed.

The workshop was, A FOSS talk session and Fedora install fest. The event was scheduled for Sunday 26th April at 10:00 o'clock and I was there at 9:30 to be of some help. The clock was ticking, it was already time and I dint see any participants coming, then something struck me, it's a sunday and I began to worry what if no one turns up. But soon my mind was at peace when I saw people turning up (late but alright ) and the seminar hall was filled to capacity i.e. around 80. So we just brazed through the opening of the event and the stuff which doesn't matter a lot , we soon started with our talks session for the day. Just as the event was stating I saw Udit coming up with two/three cartons full of stuff and was later told that they contained free goodies to be distributed during the event, graciously provided by Mozilla and Sun. So the now the talks. (1). Introduction to FOSS by Mr.Varad Gupta (He's the first RHCSS in India, an active contributor to the community and also runs a linux training academy in Delhi called Fostering Linux). We couldn't have found a better speaker than him to talk about free and open source software and he drove down all the way from Delhi that morning just for the event, we were like wow!!. The talk was really good for newbies and for us well which made us aware some facts and figures about open source movement that we dint know of. He talked about the basic philosophy behind the freedom movement (FOSS) which is what I like to refer it with. There were very good examples of the freedom ideology been adapted outside the software world, companies like GoldCorp (a mining company) which adapted to the open source model and became a leader from becoming a bankrupt, there were many examples like that which made the audience very keen. The session was interactive as we gave away free goodies to the person who answered questions asked by the speaker and by that time Varad also added some 50 odd copies of the april isue of LFY which he brought with himself to our already large the collection but lacking the grandness. The talk was really an enlightening experience for everyone.So as the talk got over Varad had to leave for delhi so we got little time to chat with him regarding lugj's future plans but he was patient enough to talk for a while and would really like to carry on his association with lugj. He gave some good suggestions regarding the FAD we want to conduct and will try if he could bring some Red Hat guys too. Well then he left, making us proud of what we have and are doing. (2). Firefox and its addons by Mr.Udit Sharma (lugj member, mozilla campus rep and fedora ambassador and also college OSUM leader, He's too much rolled into one, right :) ). Udit Sharma talked about firefox (wearing a thunderbird Tee)and some of its great addons like youno, chatzilla, googlepidea, scrapbook, firebug etc and people were keen to know about what firefox is, though some of them have been using it but dint exactly know how powerful it is. (3). Firefox-extended. Well this wasnt really a scheduled talk but one of our lug members Jay Pandya(sarai fellow, wordmint developer and a 3rd year computer science student too) felt that firefox needs more time then what has been given (dont worry that was not an attempt to fork lug, we are good and very well running you envy people) so he grabbed the Microphone and starting talking about firfox (wearing a firefox Tee). He talked about history mozilla, how it actually came into existence and Free the Web philosophy, why do we need projects Mozilla and how it has transformed the web we look at it now. Free goodies were been continuously distributed by volunteers during the whole session and audience was making every attempt to atleast grab one. By now the whole session has become very interactive and people were simply throwing questions at the speaker which he was glad to answer. (4). Fedoraproject by Anirudh singh shekhawat (fedora ambassador and 3rd year student). Well it was high time we talked about fedora which we were going to install in everyone's computer during the install fest. I started the talk with what is fedora and stuff like who uses fedora around the world, people behind fedora etc etc. The one important point I wanted to make was to answer the question people generally have regarding fedora is that fedora being not an easy to use desktop i.e. as mostly say a newbie non-friendly desktop, so I told everyone that fedora does not compete in that domain to provide with end users an easy to use desktop like some other distros do. But, rather it competes where it wants people to get involved in the community and help them give ways to contribute back to the community. It wants a consumer to become a contributor. With a wide sphere fedora project which requires not even technical people but rather non-techies to do things like documentation,Marketing,Speakers and the beautiful Artwork which fedora has become known of. That was enough of talking for newbies to get a little introduction of FOSS I guess. So in the end we decided to have a BoF session to clear their brains from any proprietary stuff they might have been left with. And as we expected we were fired with questions, coming from every corner of the room. Everyone was calmed down and we started to take one question at a time. Most were the general questions like why should we use linux, what it has that windows does not have,the virus, security features etc. The session proved to be the important of all and I think at the end of it everyone was convinced to every extend to put a linux distro in his/her computer and fiddle with the damn thing. After the workshop we took a half an hour lunch/chichat break where the lunch was also provided by the college. Fedora Install fest- Thanks to Mr. Rahul sundaram and Mr.susmit who graciously sent us 100 fedora-10 DVDs for the install fest. And all thanks to Udit that we were given an Air-conditioned, projector equipped, Internet ready lab for the install fest. So we quickly got hold of a participant's laptop, connected it to the projector, distributed DVDs and turned ON the fedora magic. The projector was used to show everyone what steps to follow for the installation process and it turned out to be very easy for everyone. We were also explaining some stuff as they came along like swap,ext3, LVM etc. And soon all the manual work was done and all laptops were now installing fedora. We used this free time to tell everyone about how to get codecs to play restricted audio/video files like mp3,avi etc and also told them how to get help on the internet and most importantly IRC. One thing which we really missed during the install fest were laptops with ATI cards and an opportunity to fire at ATI as well, if only it wouldn't have worked, we certainly dont come out as crazy yuppies who'd simply fire words at anyone, but in the ATI case, we wouldn't have minded it either :). So after the installation, time for the first boot. And I remember the gaping faces, when they saw fedora booting and they were very happy to have something like that on their machine. There were some animation guys who were so happy with the kind of Artwork fedora has been doing and they in no time would love to contribute back to the community. With some more remarks like that we just couldn't hide the smiles from our faces and felt good about the whole event and thanked everyone for the support and an opportunity to spread the freedom movement around. As we were leaving the college there was a rock band competition about to start and we could hear the drums and guitars being tested, the mood was rightly set and we marched through the gates as the soldiers of the great freedom revolution, feeling happy to bring it to our little place called jaipur and determined as ever to take it further... regards Anirudh singh IRC nick Acedip lugj IRC channel - #lug-jaipur -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/FA/L/MU/P/S !d s:- a-- C UL P++ L+++ E- W++ N++ o K-- w--- O- M- V PS PE Y PGP t 5 X R tv b DI D G e h+ r- y++ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

No idea what that really means. Is that a question on how to run Java programs on Linux? After you install the openjdk package (yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk), you can look at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/windows/javac.html yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk-javadoc for additional documentation.

Message-ID: <4A0370DC.2030402@fedoraproject.org> Hi, I am doing a quick survey for software that you use on a regular basis that is not available via the Fedora repository. Software that you suggest should be free and open source, free of patent and other legal issues. Tell me the home page of the software and give me a brief description on what it does. Bonus points if you can see in Google for "software-name fedora package review" to figure it if it is already in the Fedora package review queue. If you know of RPM packages in other distributions for the software your are suggesting, that information is useful as well.

I am a bit uncertain about one or two things with F11 that I am using now both on my laptop and desktop. Let me list them. Both of them Intel C2, with Xfce as the desktop. None of the problems are urgent, but they are obviously irritating. 1. With the laptop, everytime I run 'gnome-mouse-properties' or 'gsynaptics' from the command line, the touchpad starts functioning properly. In case of 'gnome-mouse-properties' I don't even have to change the settings, my selected settings are already there. The moment I start it, the tap starts functioning and I just check it once on the bulb, and come out. But the next time I start machine or start Xfce, the tap is gone. In case of 'gsynaptics' the settings are not retained. If I start it and select the options, they start functioning, but with a restart or re-login the settings are not retained. 2. On none of the machines the audio is functioning correctly. The volume level is extremely low. The command line option 'mplayer -softvol' is rescuing me from the situation but with a lot of loss of quality. In fact in my bin I have kept a script with all the softvol options given. Is 'pulseaudio' the culprit? I tried to erase pulseaudio, but it will erase so many other things as dependency, even OpenOffice.org Writer that is a must for me. Should I try erasing pulseaudio and then reinstalling those necessary things? 3. Now I see in my repository list, both Fedora 10.93 and Rawhide are there, and the rpmfusion repo for 'rawhide', free and non-free. Should I now check the 'rawhide' thing off because F11 is almost near completion? Can both 10.93 and rawhide be there, or it was a product of some ignorant move on my part? -- ??? das http://ddts.randomink.org/ From sanjay.ankur at gmail.com Fri May 8 06:36:40 2009 From: sanjay.ankur at gmail.com (Ankur Sinha) Date: Fri, 08 May 2009 12:06:40 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Command line apps - packaging wishlist In-Reply-To: <109d83a50905071611y6be1decbwec37bf857fef3809@mail.gmail.com> References: <4A00E858.5060707@fedoraproject.org> <109d83a50905071603r488a915bmf4e427d465ca8be3@mail.gmail.com> <4A036B11.1050005@fedoraproject.org> <109d83a50905071611y6be1decbwec37bf857fef3809@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <1241764600.3392.33.camel@localhost.localdomain> On Fri, 2009-05-08 at 04:41 +0530, madhusudhanrao chandavaram wrote: > when we r right java programm in fedora by use in terimal hw to > compiler that program and execute > tell me that one hi, Not the best place to ask this.. However, here's a basic "algo" to writing java programs on a Fedora system. - use your favourite text editor and write the code - compile it using "javac" (refer man javac) - run it using "java " (without the .java extension) - for applets, you can use "appletviewer" Please refer to the respective man pages for in depth information on the topics. regards, Ankur http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines From sundaram at fedoraproject.org Fri May 8 10:22:24 2009 From: sundaram at fedoraproject.org (Rahul Sundaram) Date: Fri, 08 May 2009 15:52:24 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Tidbits of Problems In-Reply-To: <4fea838f0905072029n23b186b1meab098bc79d8f0fb@mail.gmail.com> References: <4fea838f0905072029n23b186b1meab098bc79d8f0fb@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <4A0407E0.2000606@fedoraproject.org> On 05/08/2009 08:59 AM, das wrote: [ My Fedora 11 FAQ at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_11_FAQ covers all this already but mediawiki caches old content and hence I am going to be copy pasting from it] > 1.

Are you saying that the settings are not retained? Does that happen only in Xfce or in GNOME as well? --- "The new upstream Synaptics driver disables tapping by default. You can trivially enable this in GNOME. System => Preferences = Mouse. Go to the third tab called "Touchpad" and click on the checkbox "Enable mouse clicks with touchpad". Settings in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-synaptics.fdi (which should be copied to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ before changing) will operate at the gdm login screen but will be over-ridden by the gnome settings once logged in. For other desktops where there is no synaptics gui interface, use the policy file to enable features or you can just enable basic tapping from a command line with: "synclient TapButton1=1", see "man synaptics" for further options.

Only rawhide should be there. You can disable the other repo which appears to have been enabled manually.

However, look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfchain You can re-use http://leigh123linux.fedorapeople.org/srpm/pdfchain-0.99-1.fc10.src.rpm http://sourceforge.net/projects/pvqt/ A spec and rpm can be found at http://hanzlici.cz/packages/fedora/panini/ There might be a few other simple ones at http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1211201#post1211201 https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2009-May/msg00440.html courier-imap and courier-authlib was asked a few times.

My Desktop is Xfce by default, and now that you asked it, I logged in into Gnome. And the tap and scroll and everything is retained in Gnome, even after re-login.

I talked to the Fedora Xfce maintainer and he claims that is the the command line method or editing the fdi file as outlined in the FAQ would work. gnome-mouse-properties only works for GNOME (ie) the gnome-session is managing it. > Dear Sundaram, you are becoming my personal angel.

I have been called many things before but that is a new one. Thanks but I don't eat fish. If instead, you can file a bug report as indicated in the FAQ, that would be useful.

There is this macro that I don't know enough about.. I'm sure I'll have more doubts as I package this, but this one's the only doubt currently. In the spec file http://hanzlici.cz/packages/fedora/panini/panini.spec , the build section is like this : %build # --without debug hack: CFLAGS="${CFLAGS:-%optflags}" ; export CFLAGS %{?_without_debug:%define debug_package %{nil}} %{?_without_debug:export RPM_OPT_FLAGS="${RPM_OPT_FLAGS//-g/}"} %{?_without_debug:export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS//-g/}"} This is what I got from the wiki on macros.. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/RPMMacros %{_global_cflags} -O2 -g -pipe %{_optflags} %{__global_cflags} -m32 -march=i386v -mtune=pentium4 Didn't help much.. I'll go through the gcc docs for explanations on the flags.. What I want to know is why these are needed? The build file in the source specifies only "qmake-qt4 panini.pro" to build it from source..

Not sure that is actually necessary in this case.

If they are, there is no need for this. desktop-file-install should have not use a vendor option. So remove that as well. > PS : Do i need to start a new topic for these queries? Sure.

Yes and don't provide the path (unless it is the upstream project path) at source1 and source2 since you can't rely on it but just the filename. As long as you include them directly in the SRPM, it would be buildable.

Just a few notes: You might want to look at www.redhat.com/promo/summit/2008/downloads/pdf/Wednesday_130pm_Tom_Callaway_OSS.pdf License field is shortened and includes the version number, atleast in the Fedora Packaging guidelines ex: GPLv2+ http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines You shouldn't need to pass --clean explicitly. Instead the spec file should have a clean section Ex: --- %clean rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT --- rpmls (part of rpmdevtools) can list packages without having to extract them first with rpm2cpio directly. Also, I prefer yum install --nogpgcheck install of using rpm directly just in case that the rpm has additional dependencies. Also, I recommend users always create a separate user just for building packages and then use mock (recommended) or alternatively rpmbuild just as a safety measure. Also koji (the build system used by Fedora) has a client which can be used for creating scratch builds. If someone is interested in Fedora specifically, they can get started with # yum install fedora-packager (meta package that pulls in the usual required tools) Rahul From sundaram at fedoraproject.org Sun May 10 13:42:37 2009 From: sundaram at fedoraproject.org (Rahul Sundaram) Date: Sun, 10 May 2009 19:12:37 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Packaging RPM presentation In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4A06D9CD.7020208@fedoraproject.org> On 05/10/2009 06:40 PM, Shakthi Kannan wrote: > Hi, > > I have tried to make a simple presentation on packaging RPM.

GPLv2+, yes. Don't rely on the copy of the license. There is no difference between GPLv2 or GPLv2+ within the license itself. What really matters is how the license is applied to the source code. Read the copyright headers in the individual source files (every single one of them) and any explicit mentions of the license in the README or website. If it is ambiguous or contradictory, communicate with the upstream developers and explicitly verify and include a copy of that communication (preferably a email) in the SRPM.

In general, RPM is capable of figuring it out automatically. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Requires Otherwise, there a few different ways including running the program using the mock --shell argument or running ldd against the binary.

Building a package is a relatively small portion of maintaining the software in the repository. The majority of time for any actively used software would be in handling bug reports. patches related to that, handling updates etc. We do have a lack of documented guidelines that convey the whole picture. I am working on that but my plate is full at the moment.

A few more notes: Source0 should point to the upstream url (ie) something like http://shakthimaan.com/source/foo-1.1.tar.bz2 That's important because in most cases, you are packaging something written by another developer and others should be able to verify that the tarball matches what is provided by the upstream project. Fedora routinely runs source url checks as part of the QA process. If it fails, it is flagged for manual review. Also, any non-trivial package would have a non-empty BuildRequires and Requires section. While GCC and other core utilities are part of the default build root in Fedora, it can be included as a BR for the sake of the example or perhaps it would be ideal to include a second example with those. Also you should include a README in the tarball and introduce %doc macro in your sample spec file. The macros section in your slide can refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:RPMMacros In your notes, you should mention it is possible to define a custom macro easily in the spec file and many package do make use of them routinely. For example, the python packaging guidelines in Fedora state that python package should start with pyfoo or python-foo when upstream is named foo and I defined a custom macro %define upstreamname foo and used that in my spec file. Also distributions tend to use custom macros either within particular package types (Fedora font packages use font specific macros and the macros are defined in /etc/rpm/macros.fonts, part of fontpackages-devel package which is specified as a BR for all fonts) or system wide. The Fedora system wide macros are defined by /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/macros which is part of redhat-rpm-config package. Hope that helps.

I don't think certificates are any good to attract students who will/"want to" become contributors. Looking someone's own name in the project's website or in the Author's page gives much more confidence and "feel good" attitude than any certificate.

Most of the work on iBus is being done upstream by Huang Peng. This feature proposal covers moving from scim to ibus as the default input method framework for Fedora 11 iBus is designed to improve a number of deficiencies of scim: * Ibus has been rewritten in C. Scim written in C++ using STL has problems with weak symbol conflicts without the added complexity and lower stability of the scim-bridge layer to workaround that. * It is possible to write client and engines for ibus in any language that supports dbus bindings. * ibus loads engines on demand rather than all installed engines as scim does, which improves the startup time and memory footprint. * scim loads engines as dl-modules so a problem in any engine can take down scim, whereas in ibus because the processes are separated only a faulty process will die leaving rest of the system working normally. * The architecture of ibus is bus-centric and so much closer to the CJK OSS Forum Workgroup 3 draft "Specification of IM engine Service Provider Interface" architecture, which might be supportable in the future. I'd like to invite you to join #fedora-qa this Thursday, May 14, 2009 to test Ibus input method.Get more details from: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-05-14_iBus Thanks, Liam -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list at redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work From das at randomink.org Wed May 13 04:45:53 2009 From: das at randomink.org (das) Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 10:15:53 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Fwd: 2009-05-14 - Fedora Test Day - IBus input method In-Reply-To: <35586fc00905121816u50777318g421b3cd829e6f50e@mail.gmail.com> References: <4A082F3D.6070500@redhat.com> <35586fc00905121816u50777318g421b3cd829e6f50e@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <4fea838f0905122145p64197f99tbcad90cca6b6cc29@mail.gmail.com> Till now I have installed F11 and thus iBus in three systems. And iBus is really nice. And the interface too is made very common-sense way. And one step of the method given there is not needed, you don't have to run 'im-chooser' if you boot into the default Gnome. It is automatically done. I have sent emails (that is Firefox), copied the text (Gedit), and worked with ODT (OOo) with the live image Gnome, or after the first hard-disk boot. I cannot say what happens with other X-windows, like say KDE. In one of the three systems, now Gnome is default, and so nothing more was needed. On my Desktop and Laptop, I use Xfce. When I changed from the default primary Gnome installed by live-dvd image taken on a pen-drive, I had to go through some problems, reported in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=496542. After that all kinds of applications with all kinds of text inputs (I am using Bangla/English on two systems and Hindi/English together with some others on the third one, and the user is using them without problem), I think iBus was quite a better alternative to the earlier ones. I could give them feedback, but they want reports from livecd-system, not these hard-disk ones. -- ??? das http://ddts.randomink.org/ From libregeek at gmail.com Wed May 13 06:03:23 2009 From: libregeek at gmail.com (Manilal K M) Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 11:33:23 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Gnote not available through YUM In-Reply-To: <4A09B4C6.8010605@fedoraproject.org> References: <2315046d0905120031x925997r15af3aefc244c83f@mail.gmail.com> <4A09B4C6.8010605@fedoraproject.org> Message-ID: <2315046d0905122303k193deff6vb322158a425d23f5@mail.gmail.com> 2009/5/12 Rahul Sundaram : > On 05/12/2009 01:01 PM, Manilal K M wrote: >> Hello all, >> I have recently noticed that gnote has a newer version(0.3.1) and >> Fedora 10 packages are also >> available(https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-May/msg00439.html). >> But I couldn't get the updated package via YUM.

The other alternative is to use the standard installation media with a custom kickstart file (supplied via USB/network, say) to install the minimal set. The caveat is that I have never tested whether all the applications that you want are available from a standard installation media set and, whether they actually have a minimal footprint. -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work Sent from Pune, MH, India From sundaram at fedoraproject.org Wed May 13 11:04:02 2009 From: sundaram at fedoraproject.org (Rahul Sundaram) Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 16:34:02 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Fwd: 2009-05-14 - Fedora Test Day - IBus input method In-Reply-To: <4fea838f0905122145p64197f99tbcad90cca6b6cc29@mail.gmail.com> References: <4A082F3D.6070500@redhat.com> <35586fc00905121816u50777318g421b3cd829e6f50e@mail.gmail.com> <4fea838f0905122145p64197f99tbcad90cca6b6cc29@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <4A0AA922.9070607@fedoraproject.org> On 05/13/2009 10:15 AM, das wrote: > > I could give them feedback, but they want reports from livecd-system, > not these hard-disk ones. Not really. We use live cd's only because it makes it easier for someone completely new and have not installed the pre-release to test and provide feedback. It also avoids issues with custom configuration. However, there is nothing wrong with providing a report from any system, regardless of how it is installed.

I gotta knew about the event from Anirudh with whom i am consistently in touch,but sadly we've mid-terms on this weekend. I really felt bad when gotta knew the dates,i was very eager to grab the event but environmental conditions as well as college barriers thwarts me to attend. I suggest u to organize the event before summer from next time,since temperature here is touching 45 deg. & there is no hope from respite of this heat.Plz take care of the dates from next time. Please constantly update FOSJAM site with relevant updates,videos & presentations.I'll be checking it out every now & then.

Please ensure that you schedule it in such a way that folks can either have an IRC session or, can perhaps dial in and talk a bit.

You will be creating new wiki URLs every time a release happens, which becomes difficult for people to keep track of. 2. If you advertise a single URL every time, in the long run it registers easily in everybody's mind. While people can update their individual distros that they have next to their names, people will not have to search or ask for the URL.

It is not the end of the world, yet, and this is not the last workshop that we are going to do in Jaipur. * The profiles of the user group members are at: http://fosjam.in/about/about-lug-jaipur/ Special thanks to all of them for their energy, spirit, dynamism in organizing the event. * I also met students from Malaviya National Institute of Technology, (MNIT), Swami Keshvanand Institute of Technology (SKIT), Gyan Vihar Institute of Technology et. al. * It was a pleasure to meet the Director of the Institution, Mr. Arpit Agarwal, a young, open-minded entrepreneur, who was very happy and eager to hear students talking about Free/Open Source. His continued support for this cause, is greatly appreciated. He is happy to help us in organizing more workshops for the young minds, or even a national FOSS unconference in Jaipur! * There are about 17+ colleges around Jaipur, and workshops have to be taken to other places like Kota, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Bikaner et. al. Most of them are affiliated to Rajasthan Technical University (RTU). * Some students are fluent in English. Most of them prefer to converse in Hindi. Of course, technical jargon is in English. So, it is mostly Hinglish [3]. * A separate IRC session was organized to show people how to login and use IRC. * Lot of them use Fedora or some distribution, and are extremely happy with it. Those who enjoy it have realized the power of Free/Open Source Software. The others have started to realize that there is something important here that they can work with. * My presentations, code, documentation are available at: http://www.shakthimaan.com/downloads.html * Some photos taken during the trip are at: http://www.shakthimaan.com/Mambo/gallery/album56 * The organizers could possible provide more concrete statistics on the event. Please bear for some time for people to get back their sleep, and you will hear more from blogs, event reports, photos. This is just the beginning.

I am not sure how many people are interested in a IRC meeting but if you are targeting colleges or schools, you can focus on material around * LTSP - Make use of old hardware typical in education institutions instead of throwing them away. LTSP is well integrated into Fedora now and is already used in many places including schools. A guide for implementers and sys admins would be useful here. Someone more familiar with LTSP should be doing this. * Spins - Fedora Electronics Lab and Fedora Education Math are rather unique efforts and shows the flexibility of Fedora and Free software. FEL promo material is at http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/FEL/ It would be good to find out what software is included in the "kids" oriented distributions (freeduc, skolelinux, foresight for kids etc), and see if anything is missing in Fedora and package them up. Also even if they are already packaged, documentation can be improved.

I would go so far as to say that if you aren't talking amongst your peers about what you are doing, you are not meeting one criteria of being a Fedora Ambassador.

I took a look at and, it does not look any different from what was organized last time. In fact, it seems a bit vague as to how you want to measure the successful outcome of the event. Please don't just say that XYZ number of people attended the party and hence it was successful. I am a bit concerned that six months from the last event, we have not seen a single new face doing Fedora from your region. I'd like to know (off list if you prefer) what are your thoughts on this.

This is even better than my long-time friend WordNet. Some time back someone from you gave me the idea how to compile WordNet after installing tcl-devel and tk-devel. And WordNet compiles and works fine that way. But I could not compile Artha. The requirements it shows are: wordnet, glib, glib-devel, gtk+, gtk-devel All of them are there.

The INSTALL file mentions libnotify and dbus-glib (optional but you don't want miss out of functionality) as well and for compiling, you need the devel header files. That would be # sudo yum install libnotify-devel dbus-glib-devel. Then try again. I would probably work on packaging both wordnet and artha today. The former is a dependency of the latter.
