The system is working out good. As I/we redirect a lot of requests. But updating the wiki is a messy thing, so people generally skip that.

Usually not because administration isn't aware but still I wouldn't want to advocate against the obvious intend of management in these colleges. Better to tell them, why IRC is being used and get the policies changed.

Creating a filesystem using busybox and using it with QEMU on fedora 3. Introduction to Netlink Sockets- What are they ? 4. Netlink Sockets Part 2 5. The UML Switch I plan to take these sessions from April and i have already updated the first list at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Classroom . I am also planning to take sessions on areas like Security (IPSec, OpenSwan etc) and Routing (BGP,OSPF,etc) Switching (VLAN, RSTP,MSTP), MPLS etc. Can you let me know if anyone interested to attend these. If they are i could take these as these are hot technologies and you could probably think what connection does it have with Fedora. In a sense yes it has, Routing you could take quagga routing suite and i could give a demo on how to setup routing environment using quagga on fedora. and how to setup BGP session and if its MPLS you could still do the same with MPLS packages available for fedora and then patching the kernel too. and OpenSwan is very famous with IPsec Do let me know your suggestions and comments.

It contains the # configuration directives that give the server its instructions. # See for detailed information. # In particular, see # # for a discussion of each configuration directive. # # # Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding # what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure # consult the online docs. You have been warned. # # The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections: # 1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server process as a # whole (the 'global environment'). # 2. Directives that define the parameters of the 'main' or 'default' server, # which responds to requests that aren't handled by a virtual host. # These directives also provide default values for the settings # of all virtual hosts. # 3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent to # different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the # same Apache server process. # # Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many # of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the # server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do *not* begin # with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "logs/foo.log" # with ServerRoot set to "/etc/httpd" will be interpreted by the # server as "/etc/httpd/logs/foo.log". # ### Section 1: Global Environment # # The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache, # such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it # can find its configuration files. # # # Don't give away too much information about all the subcomponents # we are running. Comment out this line if you don't mind remote sites # finding out what major optional modules you are running ServerTokens OS # # ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's # configuration, error, and log files are kept. # # NOTE! If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network) # mounted filesystem then please read the LockFile documentation # (available at ); # you will save yourself a lot of trouble. # # Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path. # ServerRoot "/etc/httpd" # # PidFile: The file in which the server should record its process # identification number when it starts. # PidFile run/httpd.pid # # Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out. # Timeout 120 # # KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than # one request per connection). Set to "Off" to deactivate. # KeepAlive Off # # MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow # during a persistent connection. Set to 0 to allow an unlimited amount. # We recommend you leave this number high, for maximum performance. # MaxKeepAliveRequests 100 # # KeepAliveTimeout: Number of seconds to wait for the next request from the # same client on the same connection. # KeepAliveTimeout 15 ## ## Server-Pool Size Regulation (MPM specific) ## # prefork MPM # StartServers: number of server processes to start # MinSpareServers: minimum number of server processes which are kept spare # MaxSpareServers: maximum number of server processes which are kept spare # ServerLimit: maximum value for MaxClients for the lifetime of the server # MaxClients: maximum number of server processes allowed to start # MaxRequestsPerChild: maximum number of requests a server process serves StartServers 8 MinSpareServers 5 MaxSpareServers 20 ServerLimit 256 MaxClients 256 MaxRequestsPerChild 4000 # worker MPM # StartServers: initial number of server processes to start # MaxClients: maximum number of simultaneous client connections # MinSpareThreads: minimum number of worker threads which are kept spare # MaxSpareThreads: maximum number of worker threads which are kept spare # ThreadsPerChild: constant number of worker threads in each server process # MaxRequestsPerChild: maximum number of requests a server process serves StartServers 2 MaxClients 150 MinSpareThreads 25 MaxSpareThreads 75 ThreadsPerChild 25 MaxRequestsPerChild 0 # # Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or # ports, in addition to the default.

The talk was quite short and I started off with A Survey on how many in the audience have heard about Fedora and there was quite a good number and then I started off with the following 1. What is Fedora 2. What's the Speciality of the Fedora Project 3. What role does Redhat Play in contributing to fedora. 4. What's the role I play in Fedora 5. What's the advantage in Contributing to Fedora and i asked interested people to get my email ID offline to know more on how to contribute and I assured them that i could help them to get into World Of Open Source Software through Fedora. 6. Question & answers Then people when i got off the stage asked for my email IDs and have asked me to give talks in LUG and lot of people had questions like "i want to do some programming but i am not sure how do i do it in Ubuntu " these sort of questions came up and then i took that opportunity to tell them that i would help you do that by asking them to install fedora and assured them that they could copy of DVD from me. Lot of students wanted to do projects but they didn't know how to get into Fedora so i answered those questions and have asked them to contact me through email and then i would bring them onto the IRC channels. I have also asked them to log in to #fedora-classroom on the April First Weekend where i would be taking IRC sessions on kernel topics and Virtualization. I strongly feel that this would bring in more users and contributors and I would be giving more talks too in the future. It was a pretty exciting day and i would be sharing some photos soon .

Message-ID: <2e07a27c0903161214n706f86b4pcaf84583c3153ddd@mail.gmail.com> Hello all, Previously i posted about this project at ILUG-D mailing list http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd at lists.linux-delhi.org/msg23879.html, but at that time, it had lots of dependency which made it hard(rather impossible) to install and test and get back with feedback. I presented this project at freed.in 09 (slides and sample are available at http://code.google.com/p/offline-wikipedia/downloads/list) and both the time feed back i got was exciting. It all started with idea from Stian Haklev( http://reganmian.net/blog/), who was attempting for same, and was targeting to get entire English wikipedia, onto a DVD, which can be distributed and used freely. So here i am with http://92.243.5.147/offline-wiki it includes two zipped files. Procedure is simple enough: - Extract both of them. - Place the exact location of blocks/xml_block/, in offline-wikipedia/page/class_con.py file. - Run the server using command : $./manage.py runserver. - Now in browser, you can access any article via opening the link: http://localhost:8000/wiki/xyz/ (please remembering the following '/' failing which it gives the error for URL resolving). This is about how to make it work, now about the content of setup: - block.tgz contains xml_blocks folder with some 20k odd files, which are small chunks of huge XML dump provided by media-wiki ( http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/). - offline-wikipedia.tgz has django setup, and csv files which have list of all the articles present in XML dump. - Some other files like segregate.py, index.py, index_file.py which i used to create indexing, both db and csv files, i have tried to document my steps, but still in case of confusion let me know. - Media content, like css files, images logos i have taken from media-wiki site itself without making changes. Major Concern/Reaction of the audience/users (Future targets): - How to keep it updated. - How to make it editable. - How to manage different categories of articles, and segregation based on that to make refined and better education/learning tool(Rahul Sundram). Issues that are at hand: - From my-side, apart from following http://users.softlab.ece.ntua.gr/~ttsiod/buildWikipediaOffline.html, i tried to make this thing work via django, it posed new problem of writing converter for wiki-markup-text to html, which as of now, is not perfect, needs improvement to utilise all the content available at hand, Here i am ready to trade off with any parser irrespective of language (python/PHP), but it should be better the this one, PHP i avoided, as for that, it will need Apache web server, which would be overkill. - I am using django server, it can be replaced by simple python web server which can handle css, other requests, as i am not using any of other features provided by django(link MVC). - To make accessibility of individual article fast, am breaking huge file to small resulting in more then 20k odd files, any way we can skip that, hint idea help would be great. - Last years October dump was 4.1G and this March 09 dump is already 4.6G making things more difficult. - Adding options of going live, searching for articles, making updates readily available. This is all about project, till now i am in conversation with Stian and Imran(from AU-KBC research lab) about the possible usage and options(i also talked to rahul and rakesh and shirish at freed), but am sure, there are lots of options, comments and suggestions among other people which can help develop this and make it highly useful project. I would really like to get some feed-back, response, help, guidance, so kindly reply back with valid comments so that we can get to best conclusion and result. This blocks.tgz file is huge, and i know it would be really difficult for many to download it and try it, so there is sample.tar.bz2 on google code, you can try that, I will update one more sample by tomorrow on http://92.243.5.147/offline-wiki/, which is small enough and and at the same time handy to check out the present condition. -- Regards Shantanu PS: till now, pranav, nandeep and emmanuel were the one who tried it and got back with feed back, comments, suggestions, hope this time i get more. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It was a interesting talk. Packaging it up for the distribution would make it easier for others to get it up and running and provide you feedback. If you are interested in doing that, look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package If you need help, feel free to ask.

I suggest you once you install try to boot it in "init 3". Then try to get latest update and rpmfusion repository. Install appropriate driver and then reboot in "init 5". Try to load even system-config-display package with yum. So if something is going wrong you can change it.

I was amazed by the fact that there are no owners of the initiative yet. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Schedule . It is my opinion that this is a good initiative since this focuses on the campuses ( universities and colleges) where majority of the Linux users are and also where a lot of FOSS development take place. This is good opportunity to build a strong community of students and potential contributors. So I wanted to open this topic for discussion. I want India or maybe APAC to take the lead in this project. We have a lot of Fedora Ambassadors and users in India and I believe that this will be step forward.

Based on the replies and as per latest famsco policy[1], I have created this list. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/India/Regions .This list only includes people who have replied on or before 7th March. 3. *From now on, this will be the primary point of reference for Indian Ambassadors.* For example, if we need to contact some ambassador from West Bengal in India, we will refer to this page instead of Ambassadors country list. 3. If you don't find your name, feel free to add it here. 4. If you are going to be busy and cannot work on Fedora for a couple of months (or so), please remove your name from the page. This does not affect your Ambassador membership. When you are back, please reinsert your name. 5. This list (not the CountryList, but this manually made one) will use a ping system to ensure periodically that people still want to keep their name there [1]https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/2009-March/msg00218.html Thanks once again. -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= ssh 0x86DD170A http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit ============================================= Sent from: Calcutta WB India. -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= ssh 0x86DD170A http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit ============================================= Sent from: Calcutta WB India.

For example, I am pretty much delighted to see a lot of young folks coming up from Durgapur, but, if you look closely enough, Durgapur isn't the only thing in West Bengal and, West Bengal isn't the only state in India. There are times when I get the feeling that we should learn to walk first and, then start running. Or, in other words, let's start getting more folks who follow the 3 steps with intense passion across various states and educational institutes and, I am sure that the good ones will be self selected into leadership roles like Campus Ambassadors. -- 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 shakthimaan at gmail.com Thu Mar 19 06:38:46 2009 From: shakthimaan at gmail.com (Shakthi Kannan) Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2009 12:08:46 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Fedora Campus Ambassador Project In-Reply-To: <35586fc00903182311p35051apf1ff4e525b159871@mail.gmail.com> References: <35586fc00903182311p35051apf1ff4e525b159871@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: Hi, --- On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 11:41 AM, Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay wrote: | Or, in other words, let's start | getting more folks who follow the 3 steps with intense passion across | various states and educational institutes and, I am sure that the good | ones will be self selected into leadership roles like Campus | Ambassadors. \-- Yes. Let us keep things simple. In this regard, I would like to see a poll or hear on the convenient time for #fedora-india IRC meeting times. We could decide on a fixed time, or, we can keep it in rotation, every week. We may or may not have an agenda, but, I would like to hear on *topics* that newbies/end-users would like to work on, or *tasks* that they are stuck with, or that needs immediate *help* or *attention*, and I would be happy to discuss the same. I hope that others would join in as well. I was thinking Saturday/Sunday afternoon (say 1400-1500 IST), so one could still enjoy their weekend evenings.

Fedora has been a participant for several years, with each year bringing more quality and quantity of student projects. As of today's announced list, the Fedora Project is again a mentoring organization for GSoC. We are honored to have this distinction. Google has scaled the program back in resources and budget in light of the global economy; there is less to go around. I am confident Fedora's record in GSoC helped us to be selected again. There are two ways I am asking for your help: 1. The timeline is short for students to propose projects. (The application period opens 23 March, application deadline is 03 April.) We need your help finding students and ... most importantly ... identifying passionate students who understand the commitment they are making. The Summer of Code is a *full time job*, a minimum of 40 hours a week for a few months of the Summer term. The project is real work on real open source. 2. Do you have ideas you want to mentor a student to work on? You do not have to be a coder to mentor a student. You need to get the student connected to the right resources. For example, I am not a programmer and I mentored Dimitris Glezos two years ago for GSoC when he developed the first version of Transifex and https://translate.fedoraproject.org. Last year Dimitris mentored another student to work on additions to Transifex. (This year Dimitris formed a company around Transifex, http://indifex.com.) Now, I was fortunate -- Dimitris was an easy student to mentor, partially because he was already involved in the Fedora community. Perhaps your student could already be a Fedora participant or contributor? To help with #1, point students at: http://socghop.appspot.com/org/home/google/gsoc2009/redhat To help with #2, start with this page -- use the mentor request form: http://groups.google.com/group/redhat-summer-mentors If you have ideas, put them on this page as soon as possible: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_coding_2009 ... and join us on the Google group 'redhat-summer-mentors' to discuss how you can participate.

And, since the genesis was around the talk being proposed by Shakthi, it would be good to ask what target audience he expects and, be aware if the profile of the names on the matrix matches the expectations. In short, we would not like this to be preaching to the choir.

Message-ID: <5766933a-3448-4864-b93b-13923b14f4f0@b9g2000prd.googlegroups.com> KGEC LUG Details: 1.The KGEC LUG will maintain college computers assigned to them. 2.There will be core committee of LUG whose members will be sound in Technical Skill. 3.The core committee will maintain all the college computers and all they will do their work after the college hour. (since it is branch and year independent) 4.The core committee will the soul of the LUG, will help the Linux users and carry on FOSS events. 5.The President will be the head of this core committee followed by a vice president. 6.The core committee is open to all and anyone can join it after completing a process. The participant will have to qualify the following criteria: i) He/She will have to register for membership in core committee. ii) He/She will have to actively participate and work under the guidance of the existing core committee. iii) After a month, the participant will be considered a member of the core committee if the core committee feels that the participant has acquired necessary skills iv) He/she will be given a membership certificate. iv) If the participant is still not well suited for the post, he/she will have to continue his activities with the core-committee for few more days as non core-committee member. Eventually the participation will be approved. 6.The membership of LUG is open to all, even from other colleges. 7.Every member of the LUG will have to join the mailing list. *8. The members of the LUG can request free media of any available Distribution to the core committee. (This is only possible if the FOSS Community helps by providing CD's and DVD's, else interested candidates will have to get blank CD's or DVD's) 9.The members of LUG can post all their Linux related problems in the Mailing List and can also help with the solution of others problem. The Mailing List will have even experts from the FOSS community to guide and help with the solution. What is there for a LUG Member? 1. Feedback from better people 2. Solutions to problems that he himself can not fix 3. Industry standard skills in documentation and planning 4. Online code portfolio for potential recruiters 5. Extending the skills acquired to grab fellowships/Summers of Code Work already Done: 1) Having Successfully conducting an installfest in KGEC. Details: http://kgeclug.blog.co.in/ Photo Gallery: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/kgec/ http://picasaweb.google.co.in/kgeclug/KGECInstallfest09 http://www.flickr.com/photos/indradg/sets/72157614247371239/ 2) Setting up a computer in the college Library which has public access with a poster as "Maintained by GNU/LUG of KGEC". It is under our full control. Link for Pictures: http://picasaweb.google.co.in/lh/sredir?uname=rohit.kgec&target=ALBUM&id=5314781943074716337&authkey=Gv1sRgCLO2v5LL6LqD-wE&invite=CPPxsZAJ&feat=email 3) Getting the support of college and there will be no objections. (but with no funds. We may have to manage funds even for Workshops) 4) No. of Computers expected: a) 15-20 in CSE Lab. b) more than 5 in EE Lab. **** We will approach with this concepts to other departments also for their labs. (IT, MCA, ECE, ME) **** Each computer will have the label as "Maintained by GNU/LUG of KGEC". 5) Starting the Linux For You Magazine in college. starting next month. 6) We have the full fedora repo (25 GB) for Intel architecture. 7) We have loads of many other different distributions. 8) We already have few interested members for the core committee. (They are also Linux users but with not sufficient knowledge.) 9) I am a Fedora Ambassador and am trying to help them. 10) The Official Inauguration will be done in the 2nd week of April (date not yet Fixed, Proposals welcome) 11) To manage the required funds, there's a option to apply membership fees. Pros and Cons We think: Pro's: 1) The core-Committee members can have live experimentation on the college computers and get things working. 2) Students who don't have computers or is not willing to experiment, will also get the opportunity to gain the knowledge and necessary skills. 3) We can deploy industry standard mechanisms to help maintain machines easier. 4) The core-committee members become experts and there is a chain effect followed by them. 5) Free Publicity through Posters about KGEC LUG. Con's: 1) The LUG will be more like an organization and not a group. 2) If we lack response, it may be difficult. We are also thinking of organizing classes and workshops which depends on response and interest in core-committee. We have seen the enthusiasm in students during installfest and so, we are hoping for a Success.. The Official Inauguration will be done in the 2nd week of April (date not yet Fixed, Proposals welcome). We will also include FOSS events during this time and I also request the FOSS community to help me out with the events Suggestions are Welcome as reply..

Like someone taking a car for rent. The people who will be using the Event Box will be from within the community and such an approach will not be conducive for a healthy working environment. We can do this: Every event will have to be led by someone well established and long known in the community. The Event Box will be lent out only to such events. Now, how do we quantise the 'well established' and 'long known' nature of an ambassador is an issue to debate on. -- Yours sincerely, Dipanjan Chakraborty -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

And, what do you expect as an outcome ? It is not yet in the events page because the date is not yet fixed. The HOD of CSE dept. passed away and so the situation is a little unstable. As soon as the date gets confirmed. the events page will be put up. Agenda- You will find it here [1] Obviously we don't expect to get a lot of contributors from the very first FOSS activity day. But last time we found that many were interested and so the main objective of this event would be to guide them in the right direction. There will also be some interactive tutorials to increase the user's comfort level with Linux and change their perception towards Linux.

In a way, the underlying idea was to ensure that the things being shown are bits that are relevant to the daily use or needs.

A session on FOSS in Business was conducted by Lepeesh Parat, a successful founder and CEO of Z-Beanz Technologies. The session was followed by an amazing demonstration on Graphics Design by Niyam Bhushan. A talk on OpenOffice and Linux Lab was conducted by Rajesh Sola. A workshop on Font Editing and Design was held by Hiran. A video conference of Paul Frields, leader of the Fedora Project was hosted, and was followed by an eye-opening talk on blogging by Hari Shanker, a student of Barton Hill Engineering College,Trivandrum. Day 3 kicked off with a session on Free and Open source mobile phones, OpenMoko - a recent innovation and emerging technology in the world of mobile phones, by Rakshat Hooja of the IDA Systems. An interesting session on Camera Hacking was conducted by Sujith. It was followed by a workshop on 'Qt - a toolkit' by Pradeepto and his team. The day ended with a session on Video Editing by Niyam Bhushan and an AVR workshop by Deepak, a final year student of NITC. The FOSSMeet was then concluded with the message of open source being imparted to the delegates. A series of talks and workshops by around 20 speakers from across India was held during the FOSSMeet 09. The talks covered all areas including graphic design, business, mobile and blogging. The proceeds of the meet looks forward to developers to join in and contribute to the FOSS movement.

It can so happen that the angels won't conspire again at other places. However, allowing the college to select the participants serves one big purpose : buy-in. If you look closely enough, a clear lack that is happening is that of a group of motivated teachers who 'get it' and, have the charisma along with personal involvement to mentor the students into FOSS. It might so happen that there are teachers on this list who are already doing that. And, if they are here, I'd love to have them speak up so that we can start going to more institutions. -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work Sent from: Calcutta WB India.

Of course we were circumspect and conservative given the fact that this was a almost a revolutionary thing that was being tried out at NIT Hamirpur. We did not want to bite more than what we could chew, and we hardly knew what the appetite was. :-) On a slightly serious note, we were more eager to address the issue of freshly graduated computer science engineers being little more than advanced users. The idea of allowing the Electronics & Communication students was merely to make it slightly more inclusive. > Nothing can/should prevent anyone from contributing or working with > Fedora. In the official documents, we had replaced all the trademarks and proper nouns with generic computer science terms to minimise any political obstructions. Since it becomes a bit difficult to say "students from any department can contribute to the development of a world-class operating system and its applications" without revealing our free software 'conspiracy' we chose to downplay this aspect.

Let's close this thread on that and, wait to see if the aim of the experiment can be repeated at other colleges and so on. -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work Sent from: Calcutta WB India.

Unfortunately, in many colleges in India (that I have seen), there is hardly any inter-department *knowledge sharing*. Only thing that is inter-departmental is college cultural activities, or, hanging out with friends, outside college. There were times, when I did two separate workshops for two different departments in the same college, and they didn't know that each other were using FOSS tools, and that they could get help from each other -- the very essence of FOSS! Ego, politics between departments and professors does no good as well. When we work in embedded, for example, we have to interact with people from varying backgrounds (electrical, hardware, software), and everyone should be able to understand each others' terminology, otherwise, communication just doesn't happen! Similarly, students in different departments can learn, work together, and FOSS can be a bridge to unite them. In reality, students choose a department not because they like the subject. Usually, it is forced on to them. So, a person doing CS, could still be interested in electronics, and might be interested in pursuing a career towards it, and FOSS tools give them an opportunity to do so. There are still semester courses that are common amongst departments. Students like a particular subject, because they like the way a particular author has expressed the content in a book, or because the professor has presented it in a nice manner -- and that, IMO, is what brings interest to a student in a particular field. In short, one needs to have a broadminded outlook, than be confined to *administrative* divisions.

If you are looking for a few easy things to get started, look no further. Transmageddon - a very simple PyGTK app to convert from one media format to another. Please do get in touch with the author first before you package as he has a RPM package already. http://blogs.gnome.org/uraeus/2009/03/23/learning-to-code/ Popcorn- Debian Popularity Contest software ported to RPM. It allows a user to send a package listing and other related metadata to a server that we can use to measure which software is more used. Would be a nice compliment to Smolt. I can help you convince the Fedora infrastructure team to use it if you package it. http://repo.or.cz/w/popcorn.git?a=blob;f=README Bloodfrontier - New open source 3D shooter. Would be nice to have in the Fedora 11 games Live DVD. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=blood_frontier&num=1 http://sourceforge.net/projects/bloodfrontier/ Openrasomol (suggestion from Kushal) It is a program for molecular graphics visualisation http://www.openrasmol.org/ Rahul From rakesh.pandit at gmail.com Wed Mar 25 09:15:33 2009 From: rakesh.pandit at gmail.com (Rakesh Pandit) Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2009 14:45:33 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] How many ...

Just asking how many of the subscribers to the fedora-india mailing list use Rawhide on either their production boxes or, development boxes. The specific intention is to figure out whether the lots of mails that I read on various mailing lists about usage of various EOL-ed Fedora releases also reflect on the list. On Rawhide, an user would be faced with a number of issues and, since I don't see much of the issues discussed, figuring out who uses Rawhide also provides a pointer to the person I can get folks to contact if they have Rawhide related questions on IRC ie. #fedora-india. >> - who use the local language desktop > > on Ubuntu - Yes, and when I use fedora I do occasionally. > > buggy :-) Interesting. I haven't seen much discussion around this on the list.

Most of us using the bn_IN locale have switched onto using iiimf/scim long time ago (probably since FC4) and do not find any difficulty while using the shortcuts with Alt, Ctrl, and/or Shift. Neither do we have to switch to the english layout while still using the bn keyboards. The choice to move to english shortcuts was made primarily to tackle the problem of inconsistency in key assignment, duplication (in which case neither shortcut on the same level work) and problems with menu items comprising all conjuncts (in which case, a minimum of 4 keys come into the picture). Secondly, at the time we had also tested various permutations and combinations using input methods, bn and en shortcuts and found that one particular set of shortcuts (i do not remember correctly at the moment which ones) did not work at all if the shortcuts were in bn. I'll try and dig this bit out if possible. hth regards Runa -- blog: http://runab.livejournal.com irc: mishti or runa_b on Freenode From tejasdinkar at gmail.com Thu Mar 26 14:37:31 2009 From: tejasdinkar at gmail.com (Tejas Dinkar) Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2009 07:37:31 -0700 Subject: [fedora-india] Re: How many ...

You can use tools like open-tran(http://en.open-tran.eu/)to find out such inconsistencies. Some examples: http://en.bn.open-tran.eu/suggest/new and http://en.bn.open-tran.eu/suggest/file http://en.bn.open-tran.eu/suggest/close http://en.ml.open-tran.eu/suggest/file Sometime back Kushal had written a tool for the same purpose.- translationfilter.

I am not sure. It was meant for all teams and found its way to the front page of documentfreeedom.org. The reports will take time. The Kolkata team had to change the program as team members wanted to go in for more technical things. The mirrors were also slow and too many Fedora events have been happening in Kolkata (this year). We had a detailed introduction and discussion on txt2tags and have agreed on a project for extending its capabilities.

So, I'd be interested in the following: - who translated the bn_IN for Ubuntu - which is the upstream gedit file where the keyboard shortcuts are this queer Specifically the second, because that is where the poking should start from. ~sankarshan On 3/26/09, Santhosh Thottingal wrote: > On Thu, Mar 26, 2009 at 8:35 PM, Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay < > foss.mailinglists at gmail.com> wrote: > >> 2009/3/26 Santhosh Thottingal : >> >> > The problems I explained here: >> http://santhoshtr.livejournal.com/16339.html >> > are present in the gnome/kde upstream translations.

There were other discussions that occurred at the FAmSCo meeting, but not decision was made, this summary is limited to how FAmSCo voted to handle inactive Ambassadors. You may recall that over the years that this discussion has regularly popped up on the Fedora list. One of the problems that was consistently faced, in those discussions was a means of determining whether an Ambassador was active or not. It was often hard to tell what was going on in the regional or local space, and the large variety of ways of being active within the scope of the Ambassadors subproject.. An arbitrary standard that could be applied to all fairly was a missing piece. There have also been attempts in multiple regions to confirm whether an Ambassador is active by sending them an email and asking them to respond, these met with what can at best be described as marginal success. For better or worse, that has left us with no good way to regularly maintain membership like other subprojects such as Art and Package Maintainers have in place. Recently however Fedora's Infrastructure team forced a password reset to mitigate a security vulnerability. This involved sending out numerous emails notifiying and reminding people of the fact that this password reset was mandatory and failure to act would result in their Fedora account being marked inactive and thus unusable unless a password reset occurred. This effectively meant that all Fedora services (Talk, wiki edits, cvs, fedorahosted, etc) were unavailable to people who chose to ignore the repeated directions. This provided us with an ideal arbitrary, test that was easy to apply to everyone, and provides something far more manageable than "I'm here" messages. To give you an idea of the scope of the problem, we asked Infrastructure to tell us how many Ambassador accounts were marked inactive. Out of 772 Ambassadors 300 of them were marked inactive. I was honestly shocked it was that high, but really given that we are 3 years into this project it doesn't surprise me that this is the case. It is natural in any project for people to leave or become disinterested. FAmSCo voted on the following proposal in its regularly scheduled meeting this week: That FAmSCo direct the Ambassador Membership Service to request from Infrastructure a list of all users who are Ambassadors and whose account has remained inactive for a period of greater than 30 days after a password reset, and further that FAmSCo direct the Membership Service to purge said users from the Ambassadors list At the time 5 members of FAmSCo were present, and 5 +1's were recorded, and thus the proposal passed. FAmSCo realizes this is a topic that has and will likely continue to cause much consternation. So I'll note a few points. This in no way stops a person from re-applying to the Ambassadors should they find themselves purged under this policy. I fully expect that no one who reads this will be hindered by this policy as it is still possible to reset your password and thus change your account to an active state. (go here to do that: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/login) In all honesty there was discussion that we should wait on Infrastructure and let them do the purging. (Infrastructure has indicated to FAmSCo that in the coming months they will be removing all groups from a Fedora Account that is inactive in order to truly mitigate the security risk.) As easy as that would have been to do, global policy for the Ambassadors project is the responsibility of FAmSCo and we won't shirk that duty. I am sure there will be a flurry of questions and comments about this policy. I encourage you to post to this thread or another on the mailing list. That said please feel free to contact me or any member of FAmSCo directly via email or find us on IRC.

Any idea? Any work towards that? I put dipankar das in cc: He has the distinction of using Fedora and Bengali to produce a voluminous corpus of Bengali text and, he has/had a DMP. Probably he can provide inputs for bn_IN Unfortunately, I don't have a DMP handy at this point to test this out, but probably this is a nice test plan to be included should we end up doing a L10n QA sprint. -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work Sent from: Calcutta WB India.

Especially as > the window closes this coming Friday ? http://pradeepto.livejournal.com/12565.html and ... Following is verbatim copy of Madhusudan CS ( ex-SoC dude ) article in the KDE handbook. Google Summer of Code Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a program that offers student developers stipends to contribute code for various open source projects. We are proud to share with you that KDE was the largest umbrella in GSoC 2008, with Google assigning 48 students slot to KDE. The program works like this, Google selects the FOSS communities as mentoring organizations(MOs) and those organization. Those MOs list ideas for their projects. Prospect students can select one of them or come up with their own and write a detailed proposal after doing some research on that idea. And those proposals are ranked by mentors and the best student proposals are selected. Following are the points which we have experienced and have heard from the students participating in previous years to get into GSoC without much pain. * First of all have a clear vision of contributing to a FOSS project. * Select a project in such a way that - working on that project interests you and your are passionate about. If improving that project really interests you and if you like its philosophies and vision then that may be the project you are looking for. No point in selecting projects half heartedly. For example, you are an amateur astronomer and user of KStars and really like it. Now you have a cool idea regarding the same, then make a proposal for same. Maybe you could send patches that could fix a small bug or such. And you don't need to do this right before making the SoC proposal, start early. Earn the respect of people who might become your future mentors. * The whole idea behind paying students to work on a FOSS project is to get more and more contributors to the FOSS community. Its not just about a single project where students run away after completing the project and getting the money. * Keeping these things in mind, its never early to start contributing to the project you like. Start as soon as possible. Probably today, may be right now! Yes, you heard it right - NOW!. The idea is to join the community and project group early have get yourself familiar with the code base, the community itself long before the SoC actually starts. Start contributing to the project in small bits and pieces ( send patches and such ) for starters to get your feet wet, moving to higher and better targets. Thus earning a bit of credibility from the community and in the process gaining enough knowledge to know what the project really needs. And finally submit a proposal based on your experience which in effect results in a much better proposals. * When reviewing student proposals, the mentors usually looks for the credibility of the students. So if you are already contributing you already know people in the community and most probably your prospect mentor himself and have great a chance of getting selected. * Keep in mind that, if mentors somehow feel like you may not be of any help in the long run, you may not be selected. This is not to tell you to pose as if you stay for the community in the long run, but to really prove you are worth it and you are a real gain in the long run (Be extra careful, mentors are really really intelligent people). * Communication is the most important aspect of GSoC. As soon as you select an idea, don't start doing things in dark and bang with your proposal all of a sudden. Do things as transparently as possible. Communicate with your community and potential mentors at every stage while preparing the proposal. Feel free to ask about things you either did not understand or want more info about on the project's IRC Channel or mailing list. They will be kind and more than willing to help you. Don't put false or wrong things on your proposal. Show that you can carry off things well. If the above points are kept in mind, we think GSoC just happens, you need not struggle for it! Cheers!

But while I had this Epson printer I took print from all the character processors, like OOo Write, Abiword, KWrite, and Gedit, all those with which I handled Bangla text. The experience with Abiword was the best. But, I saw, in many cases, first printing the text to a file in .ps (and then pstopdf it) or .pdf directly (if it is allowed) made the printing seamless. But, two years back, and before that say two years more, from when I was continuing to use SuSE 8.2, so, actually around four years back, things were much less efficient than now. Now in Fedora 10, I am using HP LJ 1007, and I don't even have to think what software or script I am using when taking the print. Bangla support (I can't say anything about other Indic ones) in Fedora 10 is exquisite, to say the least. And so taking DMP prints would be much more easier obviously. Thank you all.

Frields Date: Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 7:30 PM Subject: Update and Report on Fedora August 2008 Intrusion To: fedora-announce-list This communication provides additional information on the Fedora infrastructure intrusion first reported on August 14, 2008. ?In part this communication reiterates information provided in previous announcements. On August 12, 2008, a failed cron job on a Fedora host reported an error to the Fedora system administrators. ?While investigating the source of this error, the sysadmins reviewed the recent logs and discovered that the package complement on the host had changed. Further investigation showed that changes were the result of tampering by an intruder. ?Once the extent of the problem was discovered, we notified the community: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2008-August/msg00008.html The compromise was not the result of a software vulnerability, and as we have previously stated, our investigation has revealed no such vulnerabilities. ?Instead, the intruder took a copy of a SSH private key which was not secured with a passphrase from a system outside the Fedora infrastructure. ?The intruder then used that key, which belonged to a Fedora administrator, to access Fedora systems. ?In addition, based on system log sudo entries, we believe the intruder also compromised that user's password. ?New security policies for Fedora administrators directly address the further safeguarding of keys, as noted below. The Fedora package signing key was present on a system to which the intruder had access during the time of the event, but the results of our investigation did not lead us to believe the intruder accessed the key. The intruder used the account's privileges to build modified versions of openssh and rpm. ?These packages would have allowed the intruder to capture the passphrases of unwitting users on our build system, or the passphrase used to secure the package signing key. ?With the signing key's passphrase and access to that key, the intruder would have been able to fraudulently sign packages. The intruder did deploy the modified packages, and the modified SSH package may have captured passphrases for a short time. ?However, the investigation supports the conclusion that the modified packages were discovered before anyone accessed the system to sign any packages using the modified RPM package. ?Therefore, we do not believe the intruder ever had access to the passphrase to the signing key. Nevertheless, previous announcements have explained clearly the precautionary reasons for our earlier decision to deploy a new package signing key. ?Details on the process and progress of the signing key changes can be found here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/New_signing_key The modified packages were only installed on a small number of Fedora infrastructure systems, and therefore we do not believe Fedora account holders were at significant risk during the time the intruder had these packages in place. ?We also required passphrase and SSH key changes from Fedora users, to increase our confidence going forward. To reiterate, our analysis supports our initial findings that the Fedora Project infrastructure delivered no software compromised by the intruder to any of its mirrors, or the master repository from which they synchronize content. ?Our investigation also shows that the intrusion affected only a few internal Fedora infrastructure servers. Most of the mitigation work done by the Fedora Infrastructure team was precautionary, and allows us to have higher confidence in our present and future work. The Fedora Infrastructure team quickly responded to the threat, isolated the systems in question from the network, made snapshots of affected hosts, assessed the damage, and proceeded to rebuild Fedora's entire infrastructure essentially from scratch. ?By the end of the first week after the event, most essential systems were functioning nominally again. ?The remainder of the work took close to three weeks to complete fully, and return all systems to normal status. To increase our security posture, the Fedora Infrastructure team now requires all members of the Fedora system administrator groups to use passphrases on their private keys. ?That policy is found, along with other policies of the Infrastructure team, here: http://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/csi/security-policy/ The Infrastructure team is also actively developing a Community Services Infrastructure project (http://fedorahosted.org/csi) and supporting documentation to include these lessons in their guidance. Team members have also worked on deploying SELinux throughout our infrastructure as well as an audit and prelude intrusion detection system for added good measure. ?Furthermore, the Fedora release engineering team is also leading efforts on further improvements and refinements to Fedora's package signing system and procedures. Community members are invited to contact the appropriate Fedora team if they wish to get involved in any of these processes. The specific facts that emerged during the investigation, which was international in nature, made it necessary to restrict information flowing to the public, to avoid damaging the effectiveness of the investigation. ?That restriction has been unfortunate, and is not in the ordinary spirit of openness and transparency with which we strive to define the Fedora Project. We appreciate the patience and support the Fedora community has given us over the past several months. ?We also wish to express our thanks for the technical assistance of the security response team at Red Hat. This report concludes the matter from the Fedora Project's perspective, and provides a final accounting of the intrusion event and response by the Fedora infrastructure and management teams.

Message-ID: Hi, There are a lot of requests for fedora freemedia. What I did last month for kolkata was I provided a few DVDs to Dipanjan and asked people to collect personally. Of the 19 requests we got, only 5 collected personally. After tomorrow, I am going to flag them invalid. The current system is such that even if they request DVD next month, they will be flagged as duplicate. What we can do is to make it compulsory to collect the DVD personally if there is an ambassador in locality. I guess this way, we may cut down the "I-request-whatever-I-get-free" people.

For example, I've had a lot of requests under the local contact scheme, even phone calls. People just sort of forget about it once they apply.
