Howver, if you look at the initial mail and re-read it, it was mean to query about what you have been doing and, if, as a new Ambassador you have had queries which need to be resolved.

IIT Chennai, Kanpur and NIT? What is the next one to be added? I am sure organizations that are deploying Fedora a lot in India could sponsor a mirror as a way of providing back. http://fedoraproject.org/sponsors People who are subscribed to the list, please enquire and let me know if I need to convince your contact points to help us.

I installed the yum-fastestmirror plugin and saw the IITK mirror as one of those cached as the fastest one for the fedora and updates repos.

The simplest way is for the organization to setup a mirror itself and essentially donate the bandwidth. Others like OSL accept donations from member organizations although they are not in India.

Well my college has been an avid user of open source technologies. # fedora 10 was recently installed in all college computers i.e. over 300 computers, f10 might have been the choice because of the delay in the availability and more over, college lacks the technical support, there are lab assistants and teachers who know very little about foss and stuff, but anyways the management makes it a point to do so. # college is also registered in the sun-osum initiative, with members more than 700, its among the worlds top for the maximum number of members, but the silver lining here is that, those are just figures and no one really know anything about foss, even the osum core committee members know nothing. But again that is so because there are no serious guys who want to do *real* work. Well the whole point of this is, that i want to do some *real* foss work in college and get it involved with the mainstream fedora contributing/developer community. I want to make a list of things which can be done, so then I can talk to my HOD and start things over. So suggest me with things which we can do here. I've some ideas on the lines of:- # make students use fedora in programming and other tasks in college. # getting them involved with different mainstream projects under fedoraproject. # contribution on the basis of quality rather than quantity. # make college or rather jaipur a hub of foss community work. This will also involve lug and the same things could also be implemented in other colleges, since there are a few others, where we've conducted workshops as part of lug and have been using fedora all the way.

A good place to start would be to assess the skills of yourself and, the ones around you who could form the nucleus of this effort. It is somewhat given that once the initial folks start doing things, they gain confidence to start coaching others into participating and contributing. > I've some ideas on the lines of:- > # make students use fedora in programming and other tasks in college. Good idea. A way to start would be to ensure that you have yourself started using Fedora/FOSS to complete programming assignments and, so forth. That way, it would become easier for you to say "look, here's how I do it, and I am sure that we can sit together and, show you how as well" > # getting them involved with different mainstream projects under > fedoraproject. This is based on skill-sets and, interests. Hence, it becomes mandatory for you to keep an eye and, an ear open to spot interests and, perhaps get them introduced on this list. That should allow us to guide them appropriately. And, would also allow you to keep track of the discussion so that you function as a somewhat "local mentor" > # contribution on the basis of quality rather than quantity. > # make college or rather jaipur a hub of foss community work. > > This will also involve lug and the same things could also be implemented in > other colleges, since there are a few others, where we've conducted > workshops as part of lug and have been using fedora all the way. Good stuff.

So it might actually be might be what you want. If you really really want the old binary, building one shouldn't take a long time. Let me know if that is the case.

With GB disk space available easily these days, it is reasonable for people to dump 25 GB on their laptop/desktop hard-disk, and use an offline .repo file. See this for a start: http://wiki.dgplug.org/index.php?title=Fedora_offline_repo_setup 2. DVD media is only for distribution. We can put all .rpms from the DVDs in the respective fedora/ updates/ folders for the .repo file to use it.

The Everything directory, from where new softwares will be installed. 2. The Updates directory, from where the updates will be installed. You can choose to omit the iso folder and the Fedora folder. They are not needed for yum or packagekit. But, there are a lot of sub-directories inside the Everything, like debug, ppc. So you have to exclude those from pulling. > What will be the best (read easiest, I know very little of technical > things) method of doing this?

Rsync is still the best way ;) BTW, that time livna didn't support rsync, this time, rpmfusion will do. > And is there any easier way, or, better, some captive software for > this?

Well, You can do it. But reposync isn't the best way to mirror or pull content. It is easier though. 1. It does not offer the flexibility of rsync. You can not pull content as you wish. You have to do a lot of system-file edititng if you want to get source and debug and other directories. 2. You will have a lot of trouble if you want to sync any repo other then one you are using. For example, creating a F11 repo on a F9 machine will be a pain. So will be if you want to create a F10 repo on a F11 machine. Only thing I am trying to put forward is, reposync isn't the best way to do mirroring and should be avoided unless the user is sure about what he is doing.

I'd be interested in this. I generally do not prefer weekends, but that's me and, I could try and make it in if it is a weekend.

These workshops were organized by *BIT Linux User Group* with the help of the two Fedora Ambassadors (Me and Debjit Saha). *Workshop 1* : Date 10 Aug 2009. This workshop was organized for newbies and especially for the fresher batch of our college. We started off by showing some cool compiz effects on fedora11 gnome. Even after attending the classes from 8:00 to 5:00, more than 60 people turned up, some out of enthusiasm others out of curiosity. We had some slides prepared by our volunteers. We showed them the alternatives of windows applications available for linux, like for media player we have rhythmbox. We also had some "Tux v/s Windows" fight videos. We told them about benefits of installing fedora (A distro which comprises every latest stuff and yet it is highly stable). All this made up an environment for the install fest which was scheduled the next day. We also invited feedbacks in the nd. Most of them were positive though some were a bit disappointed that we didn't bashed windows to a greater extent. Photographs : http://picasaweb.google.com/lug.bitmesra/10August2009 *Workshop 2 : *Date 11 August 2009 It was a holiday and yet one of the busiest day for us. We had permission to use the college lab. As we reached there, we found a couple of enthusiast already waiting for installation eagerly. We had a total of 7 volunteers and slightly above 80 installations. Fedora11 DVDs were also distributed for free. Since we have a local repository in our campus we thought it to be wise if we write a script for the installation of some common softwares and to add the local repositories. For desktops Debjit had arranged for network boot. The fest was a huge success as till date we have people who are approaching us after seeing the laptops on which we installed fedora on install fest. Photographs : http://picasaweb.google.com/lug.bitmesra/11August2009 *Workshop 3* : Date 16 August 2009 This workshop was organized for more advanced users. We expected about 80-100 participants but we were astonished to see the rush. We had about 200 participants! So we decided to take the same workshop twice. We started off by telling basics of shell scripting and then made our way towards "Virtualization on Fedora". We had a little Question-Answer session after that. We also invited users to share their experiences with fedora. At the end we had a small slide show about "How to Contribute to Fedora Project". We had the sides made with the help of "join Fedora" page on wiki.

I have addressed "i-want-2-do-project. tell-me-wat-2-do-fedora", "Packaging RPM", "Badam Halwa of Embedded Systems" presentations [3].

Jaya Bharathi, Head of the Computer Science Department, for coordinating with me for the past one month in organizing this workshop. They don't yet have a Fedora Lab. I have provided them with Fedora 10, 11 repositories for their offline use (53 GB). I have also given them Fedora 10, 11 DVDs. They are interested in a MoU between Fedora project and their college. Do we have anything similar along these lines? Ghatkesar is 25 km from Hyderabad, and one hour drive from Hyderabad through NH-7 [4].

So, what collaboration they are looking for? E.g, are they looking for internship/project in fedora where students can participate? Or are they going to adopt some curricula to be supported by fedora people? There must be some definitive goal to be achieved out of it. I don't know if I could express what I want to say. :) -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= ssh 0x86DD170A http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit ============================================= Sent from Calcutta, WB, India From shakthimaan at gmail.com Sat Aug 22 14:25:25 2009 From: shakthimaan at gmail.com (Shakthi Kannan) Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2009 19:55:25 +0530 Subject: [Ambassadors] Re: [fedora-india] [Event Report] ACE College of Engineering, Ankushapur, Ghatkesar, India In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi, --- On Sat, Aug 22, 2009 at 7:41 PM, susmit shannigrahi wrote: | I meant, MoU stands for memorandum of understanding.

Perhaps few interactive scripts, cron configurations, sync scripts in a RPM, or if there is one existing already then I'll love to know about it. Hopefully that work will also help to convince ISPs in country to setup mirrors (or at-least Intelligent Mirror) within their network for their Internet services users. At the Fedora 12 test day I realized that to increase userbase and QA contribution from within India, its first of all important for us to increase the number of mirrors.

Take a look at the public mirrors that support rsync here http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/11/i386/ . IITK mirror does not support that, right now and the bandwidth for IITM is very less. So choose any other mirror and just run this command rsync -av url is usually of this type rsync://ftp.iitm.ac.in/fedora. Its better to use rsync because it can be put in cron to automatically update the repositories.

Susmit did demonstrate a "mirror-on-a-box" concept around a year back with rudimentary scripts setting up a mirror. A larger requirement for the mirror is the base set of bits, beyond that it is rsync, mirror-manager and, talking with the Infrastructure folks. The important requirement is having the will to maintain it for atomicity. > Hopefully that work will also help to convince ISPs in country to > setup mirrors (or at-least Intelligent Mirror) within their network > for their Internet services users.

To increase the QA contribution, we need more people doing QA on existing release, honing their skills and, moving to rawhide. It is a fact of life that contributing to QA on rawhide requires at least another machine (to be able to have a single sane and, a single broken box) - most students will not be having that. On the other hand, they do have computers in their labs and, figuring out a way to have QA jam sessions would help them appreciate and, learn about the OS bits better. I have always had hopes that the college installation fests would progress to some QA activities too - sadly, all of them seem to be very content doing nothing more than installations. -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay From foss.mailinglists at gmail.com Sat Aug 29 01:23:07 2009 From: foss.mailinglists at gmail.com (=?UTF-8?B?InNhbmthcnNoYW4gKOCmuOCmmeCnjeCmleCmsOCnjeCmt+Cmoyki?=) Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2009 06:53:07 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] For those who missed Paul Frield's blog off planet.fedoraproject.org Message-ID: <4A9882FB.3030308@gmail.com> A few months ago I discovered a neat trick you can play in Anaconda, the Fedora installer, and thought I would spend time writing it up and passing it on, instead of Imagine you have a USB hard disk with the release tree available.

So far it looks that there aren't any mirrors hosting development bits for India as of now.

I think this falls squarely into the scope of the design team. So redirect your question to fedora-design list unless of course you specifically want images related to India. I think, there is somewhat of a trend to post to fedora-india list queries just because you are from India. While it is good to see some traffic, don't do that. Use this list only when the topic is somehow region specific - local events, team meetings, free media etc. Rahul From sanjay.ankur at gmail.com Sun Aug 30 15:31:22 2009 From: sanjay.ankur at gmail.com (Ankur Sinha) Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2009 21:01:22 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Screensaver building : help In-Reply-To: <4A9A5C50.6020300@fedoraproject.org> References: <1251612276.2680.35.camel@localhost> <4A9A5C50.6020300@fedoraproject.org> Message-ID: <1251646282.2646.1.camel@localhost> On Sun, 2009-08-30 at 16:32 +0530, Rahul Sundaram wrote: > On 08/30/2009 11:34 AM, Ankur Sinha wrote: > > hey folks, > > > > I was looking around for screen savers related to the "fedora community" > > in the repos.

The session started with an introduction to Free software and philosophy.Then i explained various GNU/Linux commands and applications. Mailing list etiquettes were taught using shakthi's presentation (Thanks shakthi) . Introduced IRC and students were taught about getting help from various support channels. In afternoon session, it was all about Nmap , Ncat and Ettercap (FOSS Network Security tools) , students were taught about security risks of transmitting plain text passwords on the wire, ARP cache poisoning and DNS spoofing were demonstrated and explained using ettercap. Fedora 11 was installed in 30+ Lab machines for hands on. The response from the students was excellent. Hospitality was good. Fedora 11 DVDs were distributed to all the participants. I thank HOD of CSE department,KLN and Final year student Dhivakaran for organizing this event successfully.

(http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/12-Alpha/) If you can find time to write up about how to set up a VM to do QA and, add that document to the Fedora wiki, I'd say we have a canonical URL to point folks to. Coupled with the offline repositories being setup by Shakthi, it would be a good start. -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay Sent from Raleigh, NC, United States From foss.mailinglists at gmail.com Mon Aug 31 07:08:15 2009 From: foss.mailinglists at gmail.com (sankarshan) Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2009 12:38:15 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Screensaver building : help In-Reply-To: <4A9A5C50.6020300@fedoraproject.org> References: <1251612276.2680.35.camel@localhost> <4A9A5C50.6020300@fedoraproject.org> Message-ID: <35586fc00908310008l298d566fj5f9cc4eb2ba8b616@mail.gmail.com> On Sun, Aug 30, 2009 at 4:32 PM, Rahul Sundaram wrote: > I think this falls squarely into the scope of the design team.

Or, they would be aware of them. A mail (like the one from the OP) and, your response provides an implicit guide towards how to project issues and, move towards solutions. -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay Sent from Raleigh, NC, United States
