Fwd: [ilugb] mukt.in 2010 : Call for papers
by Hiemanshu Sharma 02 Apr '10

02 Apr '10

CfP is open. I will have the wikipedia page done when I get back home later tonight. - Hiemanshu ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Vivek Khurana <hiddenharmony(a)gmail.com> Date: 28 March 2010 14:27 Subject: [ilugb] mukt.in 2010 : Call for papers To: ILUG Bengaluru <ilug-bengaluru(a)googlegroups.com> Hi all, It's that time of the year when we all come together and help all the humans to get rid off the proprietary software, yes my friends it's time for mukt.in. We feel great pleasure to present you mukt.in 2010. This time with a totally new concept and a new home. Previous editions have successfully inspired a lot of people, specially in Hyderabad about free software and brought them to the community. But due to the active Telangana issue this year, so we are not able to have it in Hyderabad this time. So, we have shifted base to Jaipur, Rajasthan. This time we are not accepting any talks , yes that's true. Mukt.in 2010 is going to be completely workshop based. It's our belief that hands on tutorial have a greater and better impact on the ones attending then only talking, and looking at the fact, most people attending it would be students from and around jaipur, because jaipur is a hub for engineering colleges. The mukt.in team invites submissions to its official un-conference , mukt.in 2010 to be held on 23rd and 24th April 2010 at Swami Keshvanand Institute of Technology (SKIT), Jaipur, Rajasthan. We cordially invite you to submit your CFP at http://mukt.in/cfp now. Important Dates and Time The last date for CFP submission is 8th April 2010. On 8th april 1200 hrs IST we will be closing the CFP window. List of selected workshops will be announced on 10th April 2010 at 0000 hrs IST Workshop submission Guidelines: 1. Interested speakers need to register on http://mukt.in 2. They will have to add a workshop using the system 3. In the add workshop system they need to mention following: a) Title of the workshop b) A detail description what they plan to do in the workshop c) Duration of the workshop d) Expertise level e) Required software to be used during the workshop f) Linux distribution they plan to use (Fedora / Ubuntu we are currently supporting) g) Any other extra material if you want to attach One can submit more than 1 workshop using the system. It will be really great if you plan to submit more than 1 workshop as it will give you ample opportunity to start from the basics and go till the advance. Mukt.in 2010 theme and suggested area for workshops As said earlier this time we are only planning to have workshops so, we like to introduce the attendees to the concept of "shut-up and hack". Our target audience will mostly be college students who will have a beginner to intermediate expertise in FOSS. Plus we are also planning to bring Rajasthan government officials / NGOs and also college faculties. We plan to organize a complete workshop dedicated to NGOs, government people and college faculties. The workshop for college faculty should preferably target FOSS tools which the faculties can use as an alternative to the existing proprietary tools. Some of the suggested topics for workshops are: * LAMP. * FOSS and electronics. * Linux system administration. * FOSS in mobile computing. * Cloud computing with FOSS. * Emerging open standards. * FOSS and multimedia. * and much more. For any further queries please write to us at: contact(a)mukt.in Thanks & Regards Mukt.in 2010 Team -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ILUG Bengaluru" group.

Proposal: Fedora Activity Day (FAD) on May 2010
by Rahul Sundaram 01 Apr '10

01 Apr '10

Hi For those who haven't seen the logs about the planning for FUDCon India, I recommend reading them at http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/india/2010-March/003169.html The gist of it in my understanding is that, we are likely to have FUDCon in India next year and instead have a FAD or a series of them depending on budget and opportunities this year. FAD is focussed on pulling in together existing contributors to get some work and FUDCon has a larger agenda and budget requirements so it helps to plan in advance. I would like to propose that we have a FAD on first or second week of May, the weekends are good and we can host it in Red Hat office in Pune. The dates are either, 8 and 9th or 15th and 16th of May 2010. Reusing the agenda we planned for FUDCon, I see the following as what we can accomplish: Fedora Tour - Ankur Sinha Website improvements - Hiemanshu Dorrie - Shreyank Gupta Fedora ARM ? The Marvel team who does the ARM porting is in Pune Susmit - Are you going to be in India in May? I think we can sponsor travel and accommodation for *existing contributors* who want to attend and *get specific work done*. If these dates are not good for any of the contributors here or if anyone else wants to join or have questions, please let me know here or offlist. Thanks Rahul

OSSCamp Chandigarh
by Kishore Bhargava 27 Mar '10

27 Mar '10

Apparently there is an OSSCamp being organised in Chandigarh on April 10, 2010. While I will not be able to attend, the folks there seem to be hitting me for Fedora goodies. If some kind soul (Sankarshan) can put together a kit for OSSCamp, I'll make sure they get it and distribute it there. One of the reasons, I will not be attending, is I have been called to speak at Guru Nanak Dev Engg. College, Ludhiana on the 9th. If I had a bunch of Fedora goodies, I could spread the love there as well. Of course, if there are Fedora ambassadors in either city, please get in touch with me, I'll put you in direct contact with both institutions. TIA. Cheers...Kishore --

[Idea] How about generating servicepacks of gstreamer* et.al.?
by susmit shannigrahi 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

I was thinking about this a couple of days before. Somewhere, I heard someone saying, you need to compile code to get the musics playing. Now, I corrected them and pointed out that what they need to do in order to get it playing. Then this idea came to my mind, what if we generate the service packs of say gstreamer-plugins*, vlc and the other necessary but restricted software and host it outside fedora's infrastructure? We can give these people a single link and say for playing all the audio/video stuff, go to this link, download this servicepack, come home and install it. A few will say, we have to create service packs for each updates pushed. But really we can do with the servicepack made with base release only. This is because, he who does not have enough bw at home, in all probability, will not update his system. So chances are high that he will still run the base installation. Should we talk with rpmfusion people? -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit =============================================
