Bringing visibility to Indian contributors makes it easy for someone new to Fedora to get hold of one of them and clarify doubts, get media or any number of other activities not to mention motivation to contribute themselves. We can highlight this better. For example, list out in more details what people have contributed might be useful. If I knew Person x has python expertise and speaks my native tongue then I might go to him or her to understand python better. Localization of the contributor specific documentation might also be useful. The website would just make it easier to provide a more central forum for such activities.

What is nagging at me is what we can do to put more names up there. Not like chalk marks on a wall, but more like folks who do contribute and are absent from that list just because they did not know it exists and we did not do enough. -- 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 sundaram at fedoraproject.org Wed Jul 2 05:02:17 2008 From: sundaram at fedoraproject.org (Rahul Sundaram) Date: Wed, 02 Jul 2008 10:32:17 +0530 Subject: Fedora India website In-Reply-To: <486B0A9D.4080908@gmail.com> References: <4869746A.4090909@fedoraproject.org> <3170f42f0806302120u598b6827y3ab2262c860f45f0@mail.gmail.com> <486AC9D6.4040007@fedoraproject.org> <486AF0C0.3060607@gmail.com> <486AF612.7040405@fedoraproject.org> <486B02BB.1020409@gmail.com> <486B0761.8020901@fedoraproject.org> <486B0A9D.4080908@gmail.com> Message-ID: <486B0BD9.5050200@fedoraproject.org> Sankarshan (????????) wrote: > > All good thoughts.

One angle I haven't pursued yet is that Fedora account system has a entire database including country information of every contributor. It should be easy to query this database and get the information and send a note to all contributors. I will have to ask the infrastructure team for this since I don't think there is a frontend that supports arbitrary queries like this.

Are all Fedora Account holders from India (for example) contributors to Fedora ? There has to be a simpler way to reach out to existing contributors and point them to the list :) This of course does not exclude your approach -- 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 sundaram at fedoraproject.org Wed Jul 2 05:16:48 2008 From: sundaram at fedoraproject.org (Rahul Sundaram) Date: Wed, 02 Jul 2008 10:46:48 +0530 Subject: Fedora India website In-Reply-To: <486B0CDD.4090105@gmail.com> References: <4869746A.4090909@fedoraproject.org> <3170f42f0806302120u598b6827y3ab2262c860f45f0@mail.gmail.com> <486AC9D6.4040007@fedoraproject.org> <486AF0C0.3060607@gmail.com> <486AF612.7040405@fedoraproject.org> <486B02BB.1020409@gmail.com> <486B0761.8020901@fedoraproject.org> <486B0A9D.4080908@gmail.com> <486B0BD9.5050200@fedoraproject.org> <486B0CDD.4090105@gmail.com> Message-ID: <486B0F40.3080706@fedoraproject.org> Sankarshan (????????) wrote: > Rahul Sundaram wrote: > >> One angle I haven't pursued yet is that Fedora account system has a >> entire database including country information of every contributor.

It should be easy enough to check whether they have contributed after that. Other ideas welcome.

He is working on PackageKit [1] and Fedora is probably the only distribution that is gaining from his work right now, but he is not a Fedora contributor since he does not have FAS entry and actually does not even need one.

I would consider him a PackageKit contributor and not a Fedora contributor. It isn't just Fedora gaining because PackageKit is already included by default in other distributions such as Opensuse and Foresight.

We can extend this beyond packaging. Lets decide within the Fedora Project what are the things we want to be done, in a way similar to putting up possible ideas for Google Summer of Code. eg., implementing feature X for Koji, packaging program Y, documenting Z, etc.. Then we can invite possible FudCon attendees who are interested in doing these. Obviously some tasks might take much more than a day to complete, but atleast we can lay the foundations (eg., design, initial framework). Interestingly the event will be roughly 6 months after GSoC 2008 and 6 months before the next one (if held at all). >> o how do we determine the success of FUDCon at foss.in > After 1 month see how many new contributors keep doing the work. >> o what lessons do we have from Project Day last year > What I think, people love to listen and then forget when they go back to home. I attended two project days last year -- those of GNOME and Fedora. In a way they were a failure. Atleast Fedora was. Being a co-proposer one can say I am partly responsible. :-) The issue here is that most of the talks were like "technology show-off" ones, except the one by Andrew Cowie on multi-threaded Gtk+ programming and a few others. Although most of the items did contain internal details and were delivered by the core contributors, there was not much oppurtunity for someone to walk in as an interested, non-contributor and walk out as a newbie, contributor. What happened was a large number of curious people came in and left with some amount of new information, which they quickly forget as Kushal pointed out. So if instead of having one talk after the other, we can interleave "technology show-off" sessions with hands-on ones on the technology that was shown off. Obviously the target levels and domains of expertise can vary.

Nod. This is the exact point that we should address. Not show off talks, but real meat which can help potential contributors join in. In whatever small way they can. An underlying focus should be to ensure that talks are not "look here, now here is this cool thingy which can be tweaked to do these super cool bling" but more on "here is this cool thingy and here's where all you can start contributing". The answer(s) to the question "Well, I am at the FUDCon at foss.in, now what ?" when asked by any member of the audience should provide multiple paths to contribution -- 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 thinklinux.ssh at gmail.com Wed Jul 2 14:33:34 2008 From: thinklinux.ssh at gmail.com (susmit shannigrahi) Date: Wed, 2 Jul 2008 20:03:34 +0530 Subject: Fedora Mirror @ calicut In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: On Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 5:48 PM, Amit wrote: > Hello to all ! > I am new to the group i found here, starting with my introduction > . i am a student of MCA course at National Institute of Technology, Calicut > . got into Linux world after i joined this college all our labs works on > linux most of them are fedora boxes.

Anyone game ... I am one of the organizer of the Summer Training by dgplug. This whole training idea is totally working based on the volunteer trainers who agreed to teach the students after their daily job. Though my initial idea was (still is) to push Fedora among the students. Still have few plans on that, which we will try at the end of the session. so, when we can have the meeting on this ? Sunday ?

I fortunately stumbled upon this event and found the whole idea quite interesting. I'm an engineering student in JIIT University, Noida (Delhi-NCR). Apropos your discussion, I would like to organise some events in my college. We are in the process of setting up an Open Source Club here in our university. Our main focus will be on organising install-fests/open-discussions/workshops/tech-talks/etc.. Although, many people(including me) have some experience with open source, we lack some organising skills. One of our main concerns is how to impress students, how to get them excited by the Open Source world. It would be very helpful if we can get some inputs from Fedora-India community. Also, what more events can we organize in order to reach out to masses? Please give some inputs. thanks!

Organizing events and install fests is just fine, but I am curious to know how many of you attending the DGPLUG workshop will actually turn into _regular__contributors_ to free software projects?

Will you? I'm already into development. I'm working with "One Laptop Per Child" (OLPC). You may like to refer: http://wiki.laptop.org/User:Prakhar The DGPLUG workshop is an add-on for me this summer. I'm quite aware of many things that are part of this training. But yes, there also are many things I was unaware of. One step leads to another; when I came acrosss this IRC-based workshop, I got two of my friends also to join in. I consider this also as contribution. As you can see, for me, contribution is not restricted only to coding. Well, this has put me to think: Is promoting Open Source in any form or through any kind of event not counted as contribution to the community? Would love to read your thoughts.

You can also read up a bit of Python, because alongwith C and C++ its widely used in the free software world these days. Once you are through with the languages, try to get a basic understanding of how things are arranged in a Unix system, especially GNU/Linux. eg., filesystem layout, the basic workings of gcc/make/gdb, static and dynamic libraries, etc.. Personally I found the "Beginning Linux Programming" from Wiley/Wrox a very nice book to do this.

[snip] What all this does mean is that this would be a first time that a FUDCon would be held at foss.in. Thus, it allows a significant opportunity to figure out how a FUDCon fits into the foss.in ethos of 'generating contributions'. Add to that, we need to figure out the bits about the following: + what activities should we be doing prior to FUDCon at foss.in + what is the hall size we think would be a good to have + do we need one hall and a pair of stalls + what other infrastructure bits do we require (scratch the wifi since foss.in does generally flood the venue with bits_in_ether) + which developers are willing to come down from outside US + when do we start talking with the group willing to come down + what about the Fedora GSoC-ers meet + Sign-age and related artwork for FUDCon -- 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 debarshi.ray at gmail.com Mon Jul 7 10:33:30 2008 From: debarshi.ray at gmail.com (Debarshi Ray) Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2008 16:03:30 +0530 Subject: That 'FUDCon' thing In-Reply-To: <48717BFC.8060506@gmail.com> References: <48717BFC.8060506@gmail.com> Message-ID: <3170f42f0807070333x52c3ccf7n5020098d8408b373@mail.gmail.com> > Intended audience: Existing contributors to the Fedora Project, potential > contributors to the Fedora Project, users of Fedora and any other person who > walks into FUDCon at foss.in Will we literally target anyone walking into FUDCon at foss.in?

We should literally target anyone walking into FUDCon at foss.in - since we expect the walk-ins to contribute There are two aspects to this. I'd like to have an agenda which makes it explicitly clear as to what is the intent of having a FUDCon and what is going to happen. And, that translates into working on honing a perfect agenda. That said, your statement below is of importance. We cannot simply turn a blind eye to a large segment of users or even potential users and we need to work on the bootstrapping. There isn't much that takes to make the user -> contributor jump. I believe we owe it to our users to make the steps for the jump clear. Whether they choose to take it, is their choice. > Or do we want to lay more stress on the pre-FUDCon build-up events? > What about having non-IRC build-up events organized by the various > user groups, etc.. ? non IRC build up events via UGs are important and required. -- 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 sundaram at fedoraproject.org Mon Jul 7 11:01:23 2008 From: sundaram at fedoraproject.org (Rahul Sundaram) Date: Mon, 07 Jul 2008 16:31:23 +0530 Subject: That 'FUDCon' thing In-Reply-To: <3170f42f0807070333x52c3ccf7n5020098d8408b373@mail.gmail.com> References: <48717BFC.8060506@gmail.com> <3170f42f0807070333x52c3ccf7n5020098d8408b373@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <4871F783.7020608@fedoraproject.org> Debarshi Ray wrote: >> Intended audience: Existing contributors to the Fedora Project, potential >> contributors to the Fedora Project, users of Fedora and any other person who >> walks into FUDCon at foss.in > > Will we literally target anyone walking into FUDCon at foss.in?

There are people who would need time and interest to be build up before they can start contributing. We need to accommodate them in some way. Whether that is by giving talks or some other means, we need to figure that out. Ideas, welcome.

We will likely run for around an hour and we can discuss other items if there is interest after that. From the earlier mailing list discussions, the notes have been published in the wiki at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon/FUDConIndia2008 See you all there.

Message-ID: This is the meeting log of #fedora-india meet to discuss FUDCon 2008 on 13July, 6:30PM.. ok folks lets get started with the actual agenda * abby87 (n=abhishek at 202.177.231.79) has joined #fedora-india roll call RahulSundaram SiddharthUpmanyu KushalDas SusmitShannigrahi Rakesh Pandit for those who haven't seen it already http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon/FUDConIndia2008 the general idea we have is to focus more on contributing specific things be it packaging, testing, reviewing or something else and we need relatively simple achievable goals Abhishek Rane here (new member in fedora project ) (not started contributing yet but i hope i wont be an alien here) abby87, welcome :) that doesnt look like a alien name anyway abby87, welcome thanx so the idea I have suggested is to respond to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_10_fonts_packaging_call btw Fudcon is a really great idea there are about a few dozen fonts decorative, various scripts and they are usually simple to package, review and maintain we have IIRC about 600 or so packages waiting on review we'll need ready systems with atleast a few drills done to be effective.. many of them are simple enough to review so we can have a review fest for QA and bug triages we have 6000+ bugs usually open at any time Does this fest happen periodically like should start at least couple of months before or even now we could get started right away and carry it over to FUDCon yes so everybody has the right ideas okay and some experience on doing things if there is anything more we need to pursue, I am open to that if folks are interested in other areas like documentation, artwork and so on and infra how many people here are planning to attend foss.in ? +1 +1 +2 * kushal does alright, good me how many have a laptop or any system you can carry with you to foss.in? -1 me +1 no here +1 :) and a big one ok if you have spare laptops, bring them along +1 yap sure so you can loan it to people or booths temporarily mether, spare !! work/personal/friend mether, ok the current plans in the booth are two things so how many folks can start in fest on those tasks right now chacha_chaudhry, ???? * kushal can not in this week I think we can start doing it from next week then but if you find time in between to work on any of these tasks, go ahead because may be we divide at least these tasks into some parts and then achieve them and add more tasks if we have more people reviewing a package for example is just a one off task anybody can do in half an hour or so so in the booth two things 1) get people signed up for a Fedora account. This is a click through process 2) a live usb station where anybody can bring a usb key and load Fedora in them I will also be carrying a entire Fedora mirror with me 1,2 r do-able easily and some goodies of course :) ah, when it comes to mirroring, how about a hands on on that? susmit, sure. note that in the wiki instant mirror +mirroring whoever wants to lead any particular session, post it in the wiki or if you havent access yet, post to the list and i will copy over mether, so this time we are going to have a full time booth like they do in LinuxTag better for us thats the idea assuming the conference folks agree mether, we had booths ever year mether, but no one manned them properly * chacha_chaudhry does not know what booth is -- this is his first time for any project chacha_chaudhry, :) same prob here :( abby87, chacha_chaudhry http://flickr.com/photos/kushaldas/2608684596/ behind is the CentOS booth booth is a stall with posters desk and people behind it okay Fedora booth http://flickr.com/photos/kushaldas/521352886/ [power out,... dont know how long the netork will last] http://flickr.com/photos/kushaldas/524425120/ http://flickr.com/photos/kushaldas/524398454/ Nice and empty booth http://flickr.com/photos/kushaldas/521349084/ from em essentially a sort of reception area techbugs, 5-1=4 :) s/em/me not yet :) do folks here have any other plans you want to discuss and questions to ask yes shoot yes we have Are we planning to contact all Indian contributors? contact means ? mail them susmit, that they will get in the list we will advertise the conference in the mailing list. Does it benefit to mail them individually? a silly question mebbe but we were talking of fonts but aliasing of fonts on kde4 and gnome is it different ? mether, not really, just asking abby87: nope. packaging fonts is desktop environment neutral they all use fontconfig mether: ok what are main issues while packaging fonts -- license may be one ? I don't know though we have a list of fonts which we have cleared and known to be good licenses but yes you have to check the license and possibly origin random fonts claim to be under a open license but copy glyphs from proprietary fonts which is not allowed will we see any change in the default fonts in fedora ...coz many ppl switch to ms fonts as they install fedora(any solution to that prob?) the fonts in the wishlist are usually those we have confirmed to be good aah! Okay so we should essentially check glyphs right But how ? abby87: https://www.redhat.com/promo/fonts/ mether, I mean by searching or any special techniques the popular tool is to just use fontforge and compare but you dont usually have to do any of that unless the origin is suspicious mether, have the foss.in guys been contacted? fonts from the popular foundries such as SIL are good. we have been in touch with them, yes and they are ok with it. they just need to know the specific requirements well in advance so when we have doubt then it takes a more time :) Is it reason you told about checking origion right *origin :) the fudcon india page has wishlist and review in progress for fonts where is rishi? missing :) rishi is away for long since few days ok besides the contributors here is there any specific people you would like to bring to FUDCon? Fedora contributors balaji will be coming may be indradg ok will be coming contact them and let them know will do chacha_chaudhry: did you get a response on the sponsor request? no :( I am finishing two more today packages ok. I will get someone to do that on Monday till then, see if you can find more packages to review laconica + mailutils yes i will try more reviews * kushal has quit (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out)) alright just a sec, susmit said he is interested to lead a session on mirroring yes i am intending to demo creating spins if you willing to lead other sessions, let me know don't we need some custom designs for t-shirt and caps ? * kushal (n=kd at 202.80.58.211) has joined #fedora-india i'd like to take "how do you do XYZ with fedora" i dont think there is any plan for caps currently mether, we want Max and paul to be in FUDCON tshirts, we are planning to go with a generic design mether, fine http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/T-Shirt the generic blue one we can do bulk orders that is cheaper mether, tshirts , last FUDCon ones were very ver thin yep. we are planning on better quality this time if you have friends or anyone interested in contributing, try to bring them along or bring to this channel we can have regular irc meetings and help out mether, what about the guests ? like Max and Paul ? * susmit thinks "FISL 9.0 - Brasil " does look good too i have asked them already, we would only be able to confirm by next quarter for travel can we decide now when will be the next irc meet? so it wud be better same time next week? +1 yes we are hanging on this channel pretty much all the time cool anyway lets do it regularly at least to see where we going mether, few of stay here all time :) right chacha_chaudhry: done is anybody attending or presenting in any events before that? mether, may be not sure ok not sure so if you do attend events, write up event reports, blog it, take pictures and make it public okay mether, btw, I want to be official Fedora Photographer :) you can post your presentation to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Presentations kushal: if you volunteer, you are. period * kushal steps ahead * chacha_chaudhry places photographer crown on kushal's head gosh there is a wiki for everything in fedora ! yay :) * abby87 has quit (Remote closed the connection) * susmit poses for a snap are we done? *click* yep, unless others have anything else to add can someone post the irc logs and meeting mins to fedora-india list? Usage: ME , sends the action to the current channel (actions are written in the 3rd person, like /me jumps) ? susmit does that susmit: ok thanks meeting done -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= ssh 0x86DD170A http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit ============================================= From foss.mailinglists at gmail.com Mon Jul 14 08:57:48 2008 From: foss.mailinglists at gmail.com (=?UTF-8?B?IlNhbmthcnNoYW4gKOCmuOCmmeCnjeCmleCmsOCnjeCmt+Cmoyki?=) Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2008 14:27:48 +0530 Subject: Event at Nagpur during Sept last week Message-ID: <487B150C.4020301@gmail.com> I recall asking about this in a separate mail.

The sole purpose for keeping this Open Source event (which is now being held under the name FOSSters) in AXIS'08 is to popularize the usage of free and open source among students of colleges all over India. The competition will also help and encourage them to contribute to this wonderful world of FOSS, which would eventually lead them to be linked with FOSS for their whole lives. The event format for Open Source Challenge, now being held under the name "FOSSters", has been decided and is as follows: FOSSters: The participants will have to submit their FOSS project which can be an ongoing under sourceforge.net or similar websites. Those not currently working on a project can join such projects or start their own project. The project should not be one of the FOSS India Award 2008 or earlier winners, although it can be one of those were nominated. The project may include a new software, documentation , writing plug-ins or finding bugs for existing ones. The participants must clearly show their contribution in the project. Judging criteria: 1. Importance of project. 2. Contribution made by participant. For the FOSS Workshop/Lecture Series the topics suggested are as follows: 1. gcc internals. 2. GNOME Project and How to Contribute. 3. Fedora and How to Contribute. 4. Virtualization On Redhat Linux. 5. How to make own Linux-Distro. Any other suggestion is always welcome. Being the most successful and popular company working with open source community, RedHat can provide the right platform for attracting students to this event. With your support and encouragement we would be able to achieve our goal.

It could be done by tagging online urls and titles with a simple tag such as "fedoraindia" at del.icio.us. Tagging of items would be asynchronous and can be done by several Fedora India team members. Compilation of the beat would require collation once a month. The tagged items could be pulled onto the Fedora wiki page. Contents on this feed/aggregator could be pulled into an email every month which is technically the "Fedora India Beat" and sent out via email/mailing lists. This could be the first phase of generating an India specific beat and then of course if there are folks who can collate news that is not making it online at all then some real editing would kick in.

HYD ? when is that one scheduled? thttp://mukt.in/ susmit was planning to attend nagpur I am not sure though 1-3 Aug Osmania university campus hmmm it is possible to go.. i'll say 50.50.. let me go thought it for a min I had a couple of invitations from the folks organizing the event for mukt.in but it is unlikely I would be able to travel if someone local to the event is attending, that would be great our local Fedora guy in hyd is not in town this month :-/ /me very far away noone from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/CategoryAmbassadorsIndia? I will go through the list and find if anyone is in those places or nearby it and check with them mether .. is there any conveyance they r providing or we have to do our own techbugs: which event are you asking? mukti.in s/i// I dont think so but if you are nearby and willing to travel, we might look into funding that from the Fedora India budget I can traver that weekend.. i am free contact me or sm|CPU online and we will look err offline ok sure.. anyone know of any other foss events before foss.in? no when you come across any, please update http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents mether, a small chance of arranging "A Day with Fedora" in Durgapur no idea I mean mether, very small though kushal: alright, you might want to update the events page nevertheless to plan for it. mether, first I have to plan to organize the event in any case :p of course, make this part of your plan mintos munichlinux mether mether, ok do we have anyone new and interested in contributing here? here == ? Lakshmi Pathi said he was going to package his own utilities at https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-india/2008-July/msg00085.html might want to followup on that kushal: here = hanging in irc now oh, ok techbugs: didnt you sign up to maintain the Fedora developers spin or was it someone else? mether, Soumya is trying to go through the basics of packaging , he will join the team I guess :) kushal: yep. I will keep a tab on that mether yap it was me... trying a few combos for Cd and DVD I am planning to package few more packages .. mether i was hoping to pass some patches this weekend but went down with cold techbugs: alright, let me know when you are ready. We need to plan it out and propose it before the feature freeze for Fedora 10 mether ok http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/10/Schedule mintos, cool :) mintos: when you propose it you might want to post a note in Fedora india list mether, yea sure I will and for everyone else too, if you are doing something related to Fedora, announce that in the list so the rest of us are aware of it and can help or join the effort that is especially true for things in new package proposals where you need someone else to do the peer reviews but other things are good to know too anything else people want to talk about or got questions to ask? I have some thing to say: go ahead, the stage is yours I am working on blog aggregation tool, which will blog Fedora announce list's mails as asked by speavak http://fedoraannounce.wordpress.com/ ^^ is the blog initial version of the code can be found http://kushal.fedorapeople.org/post.py Max Spevack (who is the previous Fedora Project leader for those not in the loop) asked for it at http://spevack.livejournal.com/59491.html ok, I typed wrong name :( which one? spevack :p ah, thats ok Is this time convenient for everyone? yes yes yes seems interesting yes alright then if nobody else has anything else to announce or ask, We will end the meeting here just one query I was looking at gnusound http://www.gnu.org/software/gnusound/ and it has ffmpeg as one of its requirements which is not in fedora official repo but present at livna unless the requirement is optional, the entire package has to go to livna or other third party repositories too requirement is optional then you can push the main package into Fedora and put the optional components if any to livna mether: is it required to package ffmpeg for fedora or we can leave that okay yes you cannot package ffmpeg in Fedora due to patent concerns yes that I though earlier but did not dig that deep in general, if there is any package in livna, it is there because of legal concerns or licensing issues mether: if there are same issues with other package where it is not even in livna then -- is it good that I package that requirement for livna ? chacha_chaudhry, yes okay chacha_chaudhry: yes, the software should allow at the minimum redistribute rights for livna to accept it okay some proprietary software like adobe reader can be downloaded individually by the user but they cannot be packaged and redistributed so livna is not a "anything goes" kind of repository there are many other packages in orphan list actively maintained upstream and important -- we may also consider looking at some whether we can pick them okay right there are two classes of packages orphaned and dead yes orphaned = maintainers lost interest and orphaned it I had a dig at this list these needs some work some dead packages are also in wish list dead = maintainers orphaned it and marked it as dead for good reasons and you probably shouldnt bring them back, atleast not without getting to know why it is marked as dead in the first place yes okay these include, opyum which was marked as dead because pirut has been replaced by packagekit which is growing that functionality okay chacha_chaudhry: your case is similar to xine-lib in Fedora okay /me checking ... the free and patent unencumbered portions are in Fedora the rest is in livna okay good :) if you are a official package maintainer, the guidelines is just the same and you dont require separate sponsorship there nice the only bits that are different is the licensing portions mether: okay -- may you point in brief what ? I mean what is that difference http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/LicensingGuidelines are not applicable to livna they allow proprietary or potentially patent encumbered components okay also note that livna and other repos are getting merged into http://rpmfusion.org I am not involved in that effort but ask in their channels or mailing lists for more details okay nice -- Rakesh Pandit From thinklinux.ssh at gmail.com Sun Jul 20 14:44:33 2008 From: thinklinux.ssh at gmail.com (susmit shannigrahi) Date: Sun, 20 Jul 2008 20:14:33 +0530 Subject: today's meeting logs In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: I am extremely sorry.

I didn't have power here locally yesterday so that wouldn't have been possible. However a good calendering solution if available in Fedora would resolve this problem pretty neatly.

Rahul, Steve and myself met one of the organizers on Friday. And, it turns out that the audience they expect for the FOSS segment of the meet isn't exposed to FOSS, Fedora and other stuff. Given that this event is in September, this should allow you to create a workshop that introduces FOSS, Fedora and provides some initial knowledge as to how and where to contribute. Doing stuff like Packaging etc may just be an overkill, while doing a custom Spin may make the cut.

Unmodified redistributions of Fedora can very well use the logo on the distribution media and that's completely legal and encouraged. If you can send me your address/ph no (offlist), I can pass on some goodies we have which can you use at the event. Thanks.

Tentatively(confirmed unless opposed), 3:00 to 4:30 PM (1 hour walkthrough + half an hour for Q/A), 28th July, Monday in #fedora-india, freenode IRC channel. If folks are attending, get a Fedora 9 system atleast in a VM and we can get started. I am looking at fonts as examples since they are easy enough to get started with: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Font_wishlist The currently confirmed participants include, Me (Rahul Sundaram), Debarishi Ray, Kushal Das, Pravin Satpute, Rahul Bhalerao, Krishnababu Krothapalli, Sandeep Shedmake, Parag Nemade and others. I will send announcements to invite more people. I encourage everyone to attend. Even if you are completely new to packaging, you should be able to follow the conversations. We will post the meeting logs/mins later on. See you all in #fedora-india.

In Fedora 9, you can enable accessibility from GDM itself. Click on the left side bottom icon for details. These include a screen reader, magnifier and so on. I know a few people who keep track of these in Fedora but I don't know what's missing still.

Recently I was surprised to find her using it even till date. I noticed that most of the applications on it are quite old compared with the versions that my daughter plays with. I want to give her a Live-CD with updated software since I cannot install anything on her dad's machine. Unfortunately EduMorphix does not exists anymore. EduMorphix was just perfect, I dont know why they decided to dis-continue it. Freeduc (http://www.ofset.org/freeduc-cd) is not updated in a long time either There is no Live CD for edubuntu. I am looking for any distibution including at least "TuxPaint", "TuxMath" and "gCompris". Can someone suggest a live CD focused on Education?

Programming knowledge is certainly useful but not mandatory. There are people involved in packaging fonts, documentation, artwork etc which requires no programming skills at all.

Still Games are fun and having good Games support in Fedora is important and I know we are all still working hard to keep our game packages in top notch state. Given that we have all these top notch state game packages its really a shame that we've not done a Games Spin for F-9, and we might miss the boat for F-10 too. So I'm looking for someone to pull and coordinate the efforts needed to get a Games Spin for F-10, as always I'm willing to help but: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/BetterWebcamSupport Is taking almost all my time so I have no time to take the lead on this one, so any takers? The first task would be to fill in the details of: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/GamesSpin And ask for the spin to be approved.
