Please let the fedora-india list know when you have some content on the wiki. To get more folks involved, it would be very nice if you could start talks with the colleges at Imphal as to whether they can help you out with the facilities and the like. -- 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 prakhar.jiit at gmail.com Mon Sep 1 17:33:39 2008 From: prakhar.jiit at gmail.com (Prakhar Agarwal) Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2008 23:03:39 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Need help! Message-ID: Hello guys! I have planned to start-up a LUG in my university. The first major event that I want to organize will be in upcoming 15 days. I wish to give a host of presentations. I have already collected all the important stuff from the wiki: presentations/Sticker designs/posters and will soon order them for printing. What I lack is the media. Nilesh(Electro Mech.) has planned to give away 1500 F9 DVDs and I contacted him for 150 DVDs. Although, we were in touch, I provided him with my mailing address and he also accepted my request but I have not heard from him lately since almost 15days. The event is almost around the corner. If anyone has some sort of contact with him or maybe help me out with the media, it would be a great help. This quarter's budget has already been decided. So, I can't really get help from there. I require atleast 50. I will try to arrange some more locally if possible. One more thing, Susmit, I need the source file of your presentation of TechTrix. Thanks!

Also panning and zooming could be avoided imo. Benefits of keeping it small are many, with so much localisation power in hand/house, you could even have subtitles in multiple languages.

I don't know if we are in a position to begin sub-titles. For example, given that we are hobbyist interviewers [;)] it could turn out to be a lot of work. But, it is worth doing. The driving reason for keeping it within 6 minutes is that then the video becomes 'sticky' and it has a single point or, at most two points of context. Any longer and it can fly past the viewer. -- 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 Tue Sep 2 05:22:02 2008 From: foss.mailinglists at gmail.com (=?UTF-8?B?IlNhbmthcnNoYW4gKOCmuOCmmeCnjeCmleCmsOCnjeCmt+Cmoyki?=) Date: Tue, 02 Sep 2008 10:52:02 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Installfest at Trivandrum In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <48BCCD7A.80302@gmail.com> ashik salahudeen wrote: > Is it possible to have some kind of promo materials about Fedora ? > Flyers posters etc will do.

All, A quick observation and suggestion. A couple of weeks ago the repositories for RHEL and Fedora were reported to have been hacked. There have been no updates for the last two weeks, as far as I can tell. RHEL executives were quoted all over the web on news sites stating that things were under control and that nothing has affected the RHEL code repositories. However, there seems to be diplomatic silence being maintained on the Fedora project. My question is, what exactly happened? and what is the current state?

Fedora send a total of three announcements regarding this: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2008-August/msg00008.html http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2008-August/msg00011.html http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2008-August/msg00012.html The last announcement mentions that Fedora is moving to a new key. The plan for that is outlined in http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/rel-eng/2008-August/001627.html There will be further announcements when changes are required. Keep an eye on the fedora-announce list for updates. Hope that helps.

I should be able to do this for the cost of media + shipping & handling which will be cheaper than what I charge currently because shipping does not have to be through registered post or VPP which are more expensive than courier rates.

'cause we represent fedora casual is not a factor. I think Get Fedora skirts so you stand out in the crowd... what we do is what fedora is * EvilBob runs whatever is good will do EvilBob, lol * susmit runs afet EvilBob after tees will be better +1 for tees so what about if we have a design and let the ambassador print on what he wan t so representing fedora on people event by wearing t-shirt is not a good idea to me want +1 for tees hold on for a second what about girls? rishikesh, you are getting it wrong girls wear t-shirts don't they? but the _same_ t-shirt? they do here susmit, yes they do wear the same t-shirts. * mdomsch (n=mdomsch at cpe-70-124-62-55.austin.res.rr.com) has joined #fedora-meeting I have no problem, but why not ask the girls? uni-sex tees But, incase they are reluctant, we must think of an alternative if being formal is the case full sleeve shirts is a better option I am not much conversant about ladies-wears lets post this idea on list..and ask for "criticism" :) ok +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 :) * btoogood just asked my wife she thinks tees will differ from country to country and? we are waiting with our finger crossed :D fedora is the voice of people, so lets put up on wiki for vote have we finalised for the men? or do we vote for it? lets take a vote lets discuss it on the list first...then we 'll have a vote * Subhodip thinks normal tee is better .. but not the white one ..if printed on black/blue ..its great if we go for a vote, we must also mention the estimated price against each option about the costing : we should select a nation where cost of printing and cost of tees/polos will be low +1 for blue and shipping withn APAC we should go for fedora colour shipping will be less than that of US considering APAC is a huge region, why don't we produce it two or three countries.. first get the artwork done .. then we can have it printed in our respective countries but lets not get into details first Subhodip, right then what about the idea of printing it locally? why bother about shipping right now subhodip +1 dipanjanc, hold on Lets define the tasks ok ok ok 1. Post to the list asking for suggestions ok 2. Request the art team along with Ideas 3. Decide whether it will be a t-shirt or whatever 4. Who is going to produce and store and ship 5. How many?

What you are actually looking for is a Request Tracker / RT whereby folks can write in to an e-mail ID to generate a request ticket and those who are willing to take it would accept the ticket and once they have dropped the media into courier, resolve the ticket. Everybody can e-mail to a given address, so barrier to request a media is lower than expecting people to use a trac to create ticket -- 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 debayanin at gmail.com Fri Sep 12 16:57:58 2008 From: debayanin at gmail.com (Debayan Banerjee) Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2008 22:27:58 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] In reply to how to install dc++ in fedora?

Message-ID: <7c9ab4ad0809282202l779d4142u19acc4f34107b58a@mail.gmail.com> Hi All, I've found interesting article written by some Fedora Fan. --snip-- Guess why? Not quality video drivers leave the machine with only some default drivers and that is bad because some users would like to play games or start some eye-candy things like Compiz Fusion. This is negative effect to the community and some users of the Fedora community leave Fedora in interest to other distros that have that drivers. --snip-- I too agree with above snip from article to certain extent. I wonder what Fedora project is upto taking above thing in consideration. --snip-- I am strong supporter of the ideals of the open source and really love Fedora. I notice some mismanagement and lack of cooperation between official and unofficial Fedora projects. Probably we all would benefit more if the official Fedora updates and the Livna updates were more synchronized. And update of the kernel does not leave the system without video drivers or other vital parts. In that case, more and more users will leave Fedora and migrate to other GNU/Linux distributions even if they are "evil" or have signed suspicious contracts with 3th party companies... --snip-- What you guys think about above snip from the Article??

There is no proprietary codecs or non-free codecs in Omega. Some of them are potentially patent encumbered (only if you are in a region that considers software patents as valid) but nothing proprietary. Like I already mentioned, this is rebranded only because it includes third party software packages. The point is that it is not entirely different distribution. It is 100% compatible with Fedora. >> I never used the term "Fedora based" in my announcements. > > Is this phrase not the same? > "Omega is a desktop/mobile Linux distribution that is > based upon Fedora but includes packages from the Livna RPM repository." This is a quote from a article and not the announcement. The announcement is at https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2008-September/msg00015.html > I'm trying to understand if and what are the advantages to have another > distribution. Like all the different spins, this is just a matter of convenience. Many of the Fedora users go to a third party repository like Livna to get additional software. This live cd reduces that hassle and makes things easier. Also for people who are relying on media (CD/DVD) instead of Internet connection for software, this live cd is more useful.
