Now that the Call for Participation is about to be published, it is time to explain why FOSS.IN/2008 is going to be different from earlier incarnations. First a quick reminder: FOSS.IN/2008 happens November 25-29, 2008, in Bangalore, India. The website is at http://foss.in. EVENT FOCUS ----------- FOSS.IN has never been about advocacy, or philosophical discussions. While such discussions may have their place, they steal valuable bandwidth when it comes to getting things done. Especially here in India, where we tend to lean towards political and religious aspects more easily than we tend to roll up our sleeves and get some work done, it is important to understand that FOSS.IN is meant to achieve tangible results. With this in mind, FOSS.IN/2007 (last year's event) did not accept talks that did not deliver practical, technical knowledge related to FOSS. And the talks had to be delivered by actual contributors to the project being discussed. Also, FOSS.IN is NOT a newbie event. A "newbie" is defined as someone who has no skills or knowledge or experience that would allow him or her to immediately contribute to FOSS development. As has been repeatedly explained to anyone who would listen - there are lots of newbie oriented events all through the year, all over India, and people should be geting their introductions to FOSS and their initial learning at such events, including at user group meetings. However, I personally was still unhappy with last years' results. Despite the fact that we made it clear that we did not want to see elementary stuff being covered at FOSS.IN, many of the talks were just that. The Projects Days were very popular, but FOSS.IN is not about popularity, it is about results. And the bottom line is that while there was a measureable increase in people getting involved in FOSS contribution, the quality left a lot to be desired. Most new contributors focused only on low hanging fruit, such as translations, and distro-specific packaging. If people got involved with code, it was usually bug fixes and code maintenance. While all these activities are extremely important, they do not need an event like FOSS.IN to be triggered off - these are things one can get involved with instantly, without really asking anyone, or attending a talk. FOSS.IN is far more ambitious, and is definitely not meant to cater to the equivalent of "outsourcing" code/package maintenance. Our event is meant to highlight Indian contribution to Free and Open Source Software - not just bug fixes, but real code contributions, real innovation, real projects. Last year, we changed the event slogan from "Technology for a Free World" (that we had used since Linux Bangalore/2001) to Linus Torvalds' immortal oneliner: "Talk is Cheap, Show Me the Code" This, in no uncertain terms, firmly declares the focus of FOSS.IN. Effective this year, FOSS.IN will focus on developers, and results. It will highlight credible efforts by people in India contributing to FOSS, and will bring together developers at peer level, to allow them to interact, discuss, develop and deliver. "Delivery" does not mean mere bug fixing. Delivery will be new features to existing applications, completely new subsystems (e.g. file systems, device drivers, etc.), (re)design of systems and applications, etc. Now I understand that many people will feel left out. There will be howls from the detractors about us abandoning the basis for Free and Open Source Software, and us being "Anti-FOSS". This is because in their minds, we must always cater only to beginners, and "bring more people into the fold". Thank you, but that line of thinking was old when someone said that "Linux is cancer" and "Anti-American" (and I think there were a few chairs involved, too). Just because we choose to do things differently does not mean that we are doing it wrong. Yes, we realise that this will reduce the number of people who may come to the event. Maybe we will be 500 people, maybe 1000. But that is OK. We are trying to produce results that are measurable by our yardsticks (active/increased contributors out of India), not those invariably used by others ("4.91 quantillion participants"). At FOSS.IN/2008, we want to see the best of the best from India. We want to see the people who actually write the code, and who ARE contributing, interact face to face with their peers from across the world. And at the end of the event, we want to be able to publish results. *REAL* results. And the names of the people involved. *PEOPLE*, not companies. Over the five days between November 25th to 29th, we are going to change the way the world perceives India in the context of Free and Open Source Software. EVENT FORMAT: So how are we going to do this? First of all, we are dropping the talks. Yes, you heard that right. No talks. Well, no generic talks, bunched back to back. This year, there will be talks only in the big 750 seater hall. There will be an opening and a closing keynote each day, by a well known FOSS contributor (except the closing keynote on the last day, which, by tradition, is a non-FOSS, but related, talk). We already know who the event opening keynote speaker will be, and the closing keynote speaker, and I will introduce them as we get closer to the event. Between the keynotes, there will be 3-5 talks through the day - again, only in the 750 seater. These will in general be talks by important FOSS contributors or FOSS project leads. They can/will be of variable length, but in general between 45 to 75 minutes long. They will be carefully chosen to ensure that maximum value is delivered to the audiences. SPOTLIGHT ON INDIAN CONTRIBUTORS -------------------------------- FOSS.IN is about highlighting and encouraging Indian contributions to FOSS. But along the way, the "Indian" part of FOSS.IN's mandate has been kind of lost. When we look at last year's speaker/talk lineup, the number of international speakers is overpowering. Almost all talks in "prime slots" were by non-Indians, and the number of Indian contributors presenting talks was seriously low. This year, this is going to change, and dramatically so. While there will certainly be a international speakers at FOSS.IN, the spotlight will be on Indian contributors. And if we don't have enough of them submitting talks - well, then we will just have fewer talks. So then what happens in the other halls? That, ladies and gentlemen, is where history will be made. FOSS WORKOUTS ------------- In each of the smaller halls, as well as across the venue campus (including the lawns, the corridors, the BoF tents, and the cafeteria), you will find small groups of people. Really smart people. Really, really smart people. People who will huddle together, use the facilities available to them, discuss, and code. Each hall will be equipped with its own wifi and cabled network setup, a local server serving up the latest git/svn/bzr/whatever repositories of code, the tools and the bandwidth. Everything that these people need to get cracking. In the afternoon of the first day, after the inauguration, these groups will meet to decide on their broad and specific objectives. They will already have interacted over the weeks leading up to the event, and once they have finalized things on day 1, they will use the next four days to change the world. Only people with laptops, and a clear understanding of the tools, and a clear understanding of the project, will be able to participate in these hacking sessions. If you don't have a laptop, or don't know anything about FOSS or the tools or the project, don't bother sitting in, you will just get in the way. To join the group, you need to have FOSS credibility, code to show that you have written, that proves that you can deliver. If you ave never written FOSS code before, then this is not a place you want to be. In general, we do not expect more than about 10-15% of each hall being occupied, in some cases, it could be as few as 4 people. Given that we have three formal halls (apart from the 750 seater), with seating capacities of 120, 90 and 60 people, we dont expect to see more than 12-18, 9-14 or 6-9 people in each of these halls. Hall marshalls will ensure that things are left undisturbed, and that people inside have everything they need - projector, whiteboards, bandwidth, connectivity, etc. To ensure that the sessions are undisturbed throughout the day, yet "visible" to the people outside the halls, giant Plasma screens will display what's happening inside, both in terms of camera video, as well as what is being shown on the projector in the hall. These screens will also be listing out the objectives of each group, and their progress. This information will be available across the venue, including on the venue LAN and on IRC, which will have channels for each group/project, and will allow people not inside the halls (or at the event) to participate (where feasible). The hall marshal(s) will monitor the channels to alert the group inside if something would be worthy of their attention. And these groups won't just be in the halls. FOSS EVERYWHERE --------------- There is a reason why we will be gently cooking your brains with a massive flood of wifi. It is to allow people to remain connected anywhere they are on the premises. And this means that if a group wants to sit on the lawn and work, they can. If they want to sit on the steps of the lobby, they can. If they want sit in the parking lot, they can. If they want to spread themselves across the venue, keeping in touch via IM and IRC, they can. If they want to sit in on one of the few talks in the 750 seater hall, and continue working, they can. If a bunch of people need to learn a new programming technique, or learn about agile programming in FOSS - grab a tent, and get cracking. Or if you want to reverse engineer the latest device driver over coffee and snacks - by all means do. And this is where the major aspect of FOSS.IN comes out and stretches in the sunlight: FOSS.IN is supposed to be a meeting ground for existing and potential FOSS contributors, so that they can put faces to IRC nicks, discuss, interact, collaborate, plan, debug, etc. all through the event. We want people to come to FOSS.IN with definite goals in mind, and fulfil them at the event. Whether it is improving an existing project, launching a new one, brainstorming with your peers, with international participants, etc. We want to see high-intensity FOSS contribution happening, or being seeded, in the 750 seater hall, the corridors, the BOF tents, the lawns, the lobbies, etc. So what happened to Project Days? PROJECT DAYS -> PROJECT OF THE DAY: ----------------------------------- An important aspect of FOSS.IN is Project Days - one FOSS project per hall per day. Last year, we had set apart two days exclusively for PDs, and eight projects were covered in the process. Unfortunately, while the selected projects themselves were pretty happy, we weren't. Complaints of mildly condescending, talk-down presentations, blatant commercial positioning, and no real take-home from some of the sessions, has led us to believe that this approach wasn't optimal. In addition, we seem to have split audiences last year - some people coming for the PDs, some for the Main Conference. So this year, there won't be separate Project Days. Instead, every day of the 5 days, there will be a "Project of the Day" in the cavernous 250 seater hall - the Project Hall, where talks, discussions, BoFs, etc. related to that project will happen. And if the people handling that Project of the Day don't do things right - well, then their audiences will have the choice of other things to do, other talks to attend. The selection of "Project of the Day" will be based on normal talk submissions, along with a "Letter of Intent" by someone from the project saying that s/he would like to have their project as a PoD. We will then consider that request, taking into account the talks submitted related to that project. OTHER STUFF ----------- You will have noticed by now that FOSS.IN/2008 is going to be very, very different from any conference you have been to before. It will certainly be interesting (we have a number of things planned for every day, so that if you decide to be picky and only attend some days, you lose out MAJORLY). We are STILL in negotiation with the Indian Institute of Science (the venue owners) to allow us to make the event a little more human - simple things, like being able to have coffee machines active throughout the day, and to allow some simple, light Indian entertainment to show our foreign participants a bit of our culture. But if we fail to be allowed to bring the event to 21st century, international standards, then we encourage people to provide their own entertainment. We'll try and arrange for a few guitars, bongos and keyboards for informal use in the community centre (the big, flat, three-sides-open, carpeted, roofed area behind the venue). THE EXPO -------- Last year, we had FOSS projects tucked away near the big hall, to exhibit their stuff. This year, make sure you have clean jeans on - we are taking the FOSS EXPO up front, right into the main lobby, alongside the sponsor stalls. Remember the huge Platinum Sponsor stalls last year? Well, that entire area will now be the FOSS Expo, as will some areas in the central area between the 60 and 90 seater halls and the steps leading up to the 750 seater. FOSS community/projects only - no commercial exhibits allowed. THE CFP ------- The call for participation, which isn't very different from what you have just read, just a little shorter, and a little clearer on some points, will go out tomorrow. Because of the nature of the changes to the event, registration will be very different for "speakers". Since we are going to have so few talks (including keynotes, no more than 5-7 each day), we are going to accept only about 35 talks. So you bet that we expect them to be high calibre. We are going to research each talk proposal, look at the bonafides of the speaker, the history each one has. Any speaker who looks remotely corporate ("you must get involved in this project because my company is so great") gets /dev/null'd immediately. Any talk that doesn't look technical enough quickly follows. And a talk by a non-Indian speaker makes it only if there is no Indian contributor offering to talk about the topic. And don't even bother submitting a talk that is basically a computer science topic, with no relation to FOSS. Shortlisted talks will be run past serious developers and contributors from across the world - you know who you are. If a talk doesn't cut it with them, it doesn't cut it with us. Basically, we want you to respect the event focus, and the audiences. Dont expect newbie audiences - so expect to get deep comments and questions. and people voting with their feet and walking out on you. If we see a talk going south, or becoming commercial (like one guy did last year during the Debian PD), we are going to embarrass the hell out of you and yank you off the stage. Even if you work for a sponsor organization. Speaking of which... FUNDING THE EVENT: ----------------- One of the bigger problems that we (Team FOSS.IN) face every year is chasing sponsors. You see, the cost of everything is up. The venue gets more and more expensive every year, cost of travel is through the roof, and even simple things like printing are more expensive. But we have sworn that we will stick with with our low cost model for participation - which is why delegates just pay Rs.600 (Rs.500 for bonafide students, Rs.2500 for corporate delegates), which pays for their food and goodies. This means that while "income" (as delegate fees can laughably be called) remains fixed, we need to make up the deficit with (you guessed it) more sponsor money. And that means more sponsor chasing, which in turn means more sponsor demands (which we don't give in to), which leads to more stress on everyone, which no one needs. Clearly, we need to change a few things to balance things out, and since we cannot reduce the venue fees, it means that this year, we have to reduce the allocation for international speaker travel, which is the second largest figure after the venue costs. Instead, we are going to ask employers, community and commercial organizations to pitch in to help speakers from outside India to come to the event. It will be up to speakers to check if they will be able to get travel sponsorship. This is a major change from previous years, where we had to bend over backwards to raise tens of thousands of dollars to help selected speakers to come to India. This year, that simply won't be possible. The economic climate is miserable, the Indian Rupee is 47 INR to the USD, and rising sharply. We will, of course, still provide accommodation to all our outstation speakers. We are proud of our reputation of being excellent hosts, and no speaker has ever had any complaints in this department. So if a speaker is selected, and tells us that s/he has funding to come to the event, s/he can expect to be put up in the comfort that speakers at FOSS.IN are accustomed to. We are going to try and talk to a few airlines and maybe they will sponsor some tickets in exchange for being tagged the Official FOSS.IN/2008 Airline. And we are talking to our employers to help as well. But otherwise, we are going to raise just enough sponsorship to cover event facilities and hospitality. We are NOT a commercial event, and don't want to make finances the major focus, eating up all our time. We are also levelling out sponsorship slabs - just two types, Gold (with a stall in the front lobby) and Silver (with a stall near the Community Centre). And we are actually lowering sponsorship rates, to encourage more sponsors to come in. And we are going to be picky as well. If you aren't a recognised FOSS-friendly/supportive organization, you really don't want to be at this event. Your employees will tell us if you are a good fit for our event. And if you are on the sponsor roster, it will be like a certificate of authenticity - A Genuine FOSS-Friendly Organization. We are doing this because we don't want the FOSS community to feel exploited or targeted. And we are levelling out sponsorships to avoid what has happened before - one sponsor grabbing all the limelight. Not happening again. We love our sponsors, but we love them equally. Yes, we know that we sound unrealistic, even idealistic. But we want to raise this event to quality levels that exceed anything anywhere else. And by that we mean in terms of results, not glitz. We won't have hostesses escorting speakers to the stage. We aren't going to have receptions for celebrity speakers, where the twist and turn in the limelight for the press. We aren't going to raise huge sponsorship, just to spend it back on the sponsors. This is a community event. Please recognise that. We are FOSS.IN, and we are going to help change the world.

Date: Fri, 3 Oct 2008 12:21:04 -0700 From: Chris Weyl Reply-To: Discussion of RPM packaging standards and practices for Fedora To: fedora-packaging at redhat.com So, building on the spirited debate going on with respect to a suggested review template, is it time for a review-oh-matic type service? Many of the things we do for reviews are the same. Check it builds in mock (koji scratch), check the srpm sources against upstream, look @ rpmlint, look at the file lists, etc, etc... Wouldn't it make all our lives to have a simple little tool that a packager could submit a srpm for review to. It could then, say (and off the top of my head): 1) extract the spec, and push it + the srpm somewhere 2) file a review bug 2) kick off a koji scratch build 3) post a link to the build, success/failure, build logs (a la the FTBFS overlord) ==> success, pull the built rpms, and post to the review bug: * rpmlint, requires/provides * md5/sha1 of srpm provided source against upstream * a partial template, good bad, etc. Provisions could be made for dependencies -- e.g. pass blocking review bug; won't try to do any of the koji bits until the blocking bug(s) is closed. As the review process goes on, new srpms could be submitted against the same review and have the same automatic bits run. This certainly isn't intended to automatically review and approve packages, and wouldn't be an excuse for reviewers to just rubber stamp. But it certainly could make the process a little less painful and more reliable by consistently automating those bits that it's feasible to. -Chris -- Chris Weyl Ex astris, scientia -- 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 shambo.linux at gmail.com Mon Oct 6 09:05:15 2008 From: shambo.linux at gmail.com (Shambo Bose) Date: Mon, 6 Oct 2008 14:35:15 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Regarding server management Message-ID: Hi, I recently got a offer from a local ISP .

What can (perhaps ?) done looked into is setting up a web-based service that can take as an input a BZ# (which is a package review request). And, slurp the SRPM on the BZ#, run the tests automagically and produce a report for the tests. The posting of the review result to the BZ# is going to take some time coming (in terms of gaining acceptance). I, for one, would be happy to see a system where one can upload an SRPM and after sometime out pops a report.

For one, it does not know about the new build roots: class CheckBuildRoot(QACheck): """Checks that the BuildRoot is the Fedora-preferred one""" order = 60 def check(self): pr("Checking buildroot", 2) buildroot = self.target.spec.buildRoot() preferred_br_tag = "%{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)" preferred_br = self.target.rpmEval(preferred_br_tag) if buildroot != preferred_br: self.has_failed("BuildRoot should be "+preferred_br_tag+"\n (wiki: Packaging/Guidelines#BuildRoot)") self.target.total_checks += 1 And does not support LZMA payloads, but that is less of a problem right now.

Recently Lintian for Debian has been experimenting with lintian by changing the Error/Warning/Info format into a severity/certainty metric in order to ensure easier automation. Probably that can also be looked into to ensure better design.

Good question. I think what we want is a layer of Fedora specific checks over Rpmlint. In fact the following class takes care of the Rpmlint part: class CheckRpmlint(QACheck): """unleashes rpmlint at the srpm and the binary rpm if the build is complete""" Checks like downloading the sources, patches, checking their upstream validity, etc. might take too much time and assume too much (eg., good internet connection, etc.) for a tool like Rpmlint. Running a full-blown review is not always necessary in the lifetime of a package, but people do tend to use Rpmlint to check up a new package before pushing it.

Umm...I guess it is writing out a few Fedora specific checks and also consuming whatever is provided for by rpmlint. Diagnosing the readings of rpmlint *plus* the Fedora specific checks/tests would be a fun exercise to automate https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2008-October/msg00026.html is a good mail to read for example -- 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 foss.mailinglists at gmail.com Wed Oct 15 07:49:27 2008 From: foss.mailinglists at gmail.com (=?UTF-8?B?IlNhbmthcnNoYW4gKOCmuOCmmeCnjeCmleCmsOCnjeCmt+Cmoyki?=) Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2008 13:19:27 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Is not fedora-qa same as review-o-matic (under plan) In-Reply-To: <3170f42f0810150042i70dee38djd4edb27a8b625de@mail.gmail.com> References: <48F59157.202@gmail.com> <3170f42f0810150008u3597473am8af32c2ebbb51579@mail.gmail.com> <3170f42f0810150042i70dee38djd4edb27a8b625de@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <48F5A087.2050507@gmail.com> Debarshi Ray wrote: > Turns out that Rpmlint does implement some of the checks that are > being separately implemented by the script. eg., the use of > desktop-file-validate is already implemented by Rpmlint's MenuXDGCheck > class. A good way to begin would be by: + noting what tools (viz. rpmlint, mock) etc are used by the current Package Review Process + noting what steps of the Package Review Process can be automated (eg. slurping the srpm from the BZ#, running the Guideline specific tests and spewing an output) moving on to figuring out how much of the 'Guidelines' can be coded into the system to make it a bit more intelligent and of course having all this with a backend database This of course assumes that we accept the premise that fedora-qa is a good conceptual starting or jump-off point, but not r-o-m.

I think we should take this to the main fedora-devel-list at redhat.com list and let others also join in. This is important because the people associated with fedora-qa are usually there.

And I'd rather have some working code to facilitate a discussion that has an objective rather than discussing for discussion's sake. My take-away from the thread that I pointed out earlier is that there is a need for a tool like this. However, the precise scope of the tool is kind of undefined. Which has to come before the policy around the consumption of the tool/service is brain-bashed. Having r-o-m on hosted.fedoraproject gives a tangible placeholder to everybody to provide suggestions, improvements and enhancements. Right now, the tool is not going to be released into fedora infrastructure anyways :) -- 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 foss.mailinglists at gmail.com Wed Oct 15 09:03:06 2008 From: foss.mailinglists at gmail.com (=?UTF-8?B?IlNhbmthcnNoYW4gKOCmuOCmmeCnjeCmleCmsOCnjeCmt+Cmoyki?=) Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2008 14:33:06 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Submit talks for Fedora Project of the Day in FOSS.IN In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <48F5B1CA.6000606@gmail.com> Kushal Das wrote: > Please submit your talks/workshops in the foss.in site.

True but there is value in gather ideas beyond what we have already thought about since the concern about the long review queue is a ongoing thing. FESCo mentioned review-o-matic briefly recently as well http://bpepple.fedorapeople.org/fesco/FESCo-2008-10-15.html Apparently, people are still filing several new review requests each day and despite getting half a dozen new packages, every single day in rawhide, our package review queue is not reducing considerably. Review-o-matic can potentially take away the grunt work from the review process leaving reviewers to concentrate on the more interesting parts which requires human contextual intelligence. This probably will attract more reviews knowing that they don't have to do the boring parts. Even without this review tool, I think that package maintainers should be doing more reviews in comparison to maintaining more packages at this point. With the new uberpackager process in place, sponsors hopefully won't be a bottle neck as much.

Running rpmlint is part of the process but hardly covers everything. To figure out whether the package has all the right dependencies specified, we use mock which tries to build the package within a chroot. review-o-matic can glue together many things such as rpmlint and mock as well as do additonal checks on top of this.

FESCo mentioned review-o-matic briefly recently as well I see enough examples of 'paralysis by over-analysis' first hand to be wary of gathering ideas without having a tinker toy. Having a tangible prototype allows for a better discussion, but /me talking more on this would be bikeshedding. In the end it is the decision of the developers/contributors/participants in the project whether there needs to be a long running idea gathering phase (which would then imply that the current comprehension of the scope as defined by the established guidelines is vaporware) -- 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 foss.mailinglists at gmail.com Fri Oct 17 11:28:33 2008 From: foss.mailinglists at gmail.com (=?UTF-8?B?IlNhbmthcnNoYW4gKOCmuOCmmeCnjeCmleCmsOCnjeCmt+Cmoyki?=) Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2008 16:58:33 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Is not fedora-qa same as review-o-matic (under plan) In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <48F876E1.5010906@gmail.com> Rakesh Pandit wrote: > I was searching for something similar and came across fedora-qa. > $subject > > http://gauret.free.fr/fichiers/rpms/fedora/fedora-qa Does https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/rpmgrok fit in somewhere into this service ? -- 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 sanjay_ankur at yahoo.co.in Fri Oct 17 14:49:25 2008 From: sanjay_ankur at yahoo.co.in (ankur sinha) Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2008 20:19:25 +0530 (IST) Subject: [Fedora-India]Fw: Re: Information Message-ID: <807216.46949.qm@web8405.mail.in.yahoo.com> --- On Fri, 17/10/08, ankur sinha wrote: >> From: ankur sinha >> Subject: Re: Information >> To: anurajcr at yahoo.co.in >> Date: Friday, 17 October, 2008, 8:07 PM >> hi,Im only a college student currently and hence have a >>limited budget.

It was, after all, the idea behind the Fedora Legacy project. Unfortunately, Fedora Legacy ceased operations at the end of 2006, largely due to a lack of interested package maintainers.

We were suggested this project by Rahul Sundaram(mether). *About Kobold:* Kobold is minimalistic tool for automated Fedora Live CD installation on USB stick in a sequential manner. It uses HAL and D-Bus to discover USB stick plugging and livecd-iso-to-disk for the actual installation process. * Some pitfalls*: (1) It was sequential. (2) It could only work on a Single USB stick at a time with hassles of plugging-in and plugging-out the USB sticks if more than one USB stick need to be used. (3) The USB sticks had to be plugged-in after initiating the script. The script was not able to detect already plugged-in USB sticks. *Our Tweaks:* First of all, we eradicated the need to plug-in the USB sticks after initiating the script. That is, we added the functionality of detecting already plugged-in USB storage devices. Secondly, the installation process is changed from sequential to parallel. We have incorporated threading concept by using "threading" module to enable installation process on multiple USB sticks simultaneously. Code is available at http://dgplug.org/training/trunk/khushbu/Kobold/kobold3.py *Usability/Benefits*: The Install-fests will be much more fun. Just plug-in all the USB storage devices, run the script and you will have Fedora installed in all of them within no time!! No need to wait for the installation process to get over with one stick and then plug-in another. *References:* [1] http://wiki.dgplug.org/index.php/SummerTraining [2] http://kushaldas.in [3] http://dgplug.org [4] http://trac2.assembla.com/kobold-project We hope that we have been able to contribute in some way. We wish to add this code to LiveUSB-Creator(which works on a single USB drive right now) and for that we need your comments/feedback.

There are about 20 unfulfilled freemedia requests from non-urban areas in West Bengal and many more in other parts of India (in the Oct release). Maybe you can send them those. Best A. Mani -- A.

One of the unique features of these laptops, is an environment called Sugar developed as a collaboration between Red Hat and other developers and now being maintained by Sugarlabs, an independent non-profit organization. The Fedora Project has released a new spin, a live CD with the Sugar environment by default and a number of additional activities including sugar-browse based on XULRunner and sugar-write based on Abiword. Furthermore, the Fedora liveusb-creator software has been updated to include support for this spin. For people developing the Sugar environment or those curious about it but don't have an OLPC system, this live cd can be a handy way to dive in. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2008-October/msg00012.html Rahul From sundaram at fedoraproject.org Fri Oct 31 16:28:09 2008 From: sundaram at fedoraproject.org (Rahul Sundaram) Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2008 21:58:09 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Call for help from TLDP and a question.

Not anymore but it might be permitted if someone volunteers to package it again.

Once that is done (or a reasonable portion of it is done), I volunteer to take up the packaging. :) Thanks. -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= ssh 0x86DD170A http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit ============================================= From sundaram at fedoraproject.org Fri Oct 31 16:46:04 2008 From: sundaram at fedoraproject.org (Rahul Sundaram) Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2008 22:16:04 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Call for help from TLDP and a question.
