Ask Fedora - Feature wishlist
by Rahul Sundaram 31 Aug '11

31 Aug '11

Hi As you might already be aware, I have been working on setting up Ask Fedora, a question and answer based forum based on http://askbot.org. Askbot uses the Django framework written in Python. To better integrate with Fedora and enhance the capabilities further, we have been working on adding some features upstream and some of them have already been merged upstream. If you are interested in helping out, refer to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Askbot#Feature_wishlist Rahul

[Event Report] GNU Make: FISAT, Angamaly, Kerala
by Shakthi Kannan 28 Aug '11

28 Aug '11

Hi, I had presented an introduction to GNU Make, "Dum Ka Biryani, Make for each other" [1] at "ICE-FOSS 2011" [2], August 26-27, 2011 at Federal Institute of Science and Technology [3], Angamaly, Kerala. The conference had talks, hands-on workshops, and project demos. There were interesting projects displayed at the stalls by the students varying from Arduino-based hardware projects, to Python mobile application development to games, and applications developed using opencv. Pamphlets were made for each project, and given to the visitors at the stall. I reviewed the projects that were demoed and gave them feedback. The Institute is in the process of migrating their servers, so we should (hopefully) see the sources made available online. I also had a chance to meet Anvar K Sadath, Executive Director at the IT@School [4] project. They have trained nearly 2 lakh teachers on F/OSS over the years. Their new initiative is animation training [5] using free/open source software. The Institute does have a cluster setup called "Dakshina" [6] which is used by students, and the faculty. They also do allow other nearby colleges to use the facility on request. I would like to thank the Management of FISAT, for sponsoring my travel and for the wonderful hospitality. Photos taken during the trip are available at my /gallery [7].

Upgrade to Fedora-15 failed - I am in trouble please help.
by Kamalendu Chakrabarty 26 Aug '11

26 Aug '11

I was trying to upgrade from fedora-14 to fedora-15 online I was so confident with fedora that I didnot maintain any backup. Everything had gone well with command preipgrade At the last stage the procees stopped as "A fatal error ..... gnome ...." exctly I cannot remember. Now after rebooting I find three options at bootloader. 1. UPGRADE TO FEDORA 15 (LOVESTOCK) 2. FEDORA (2.6.35.13-92-FC14.I386) 3. FEDORA (2.6.35.6-45-FC14.I386) None of the options are opening. While I try with option – 1 I am asked for ^D (Control D) Then I am asked for root password. Then it opens on text mode like root@localhost. Now what I have to do? I am in trouble – all my files would be lost. -- Kamalendu Chakrabarty Qr No: C/05, PTS, NTPC Ltd, PO: Deepsikha Dist: Angul Orissa Pin: 759147

Fedora India website
by Rahul Sundaram 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Hi I would like to launch http://in.fedoracommunity.org/ as a community website for FOSS event announcements, FAD, FUDCon and other efforts within the Fedora India community. Perhaps even a store to distribute Fedora goodies if we get permission from the Fedora Board. Anyone wants to volunteer to help out? http://fedoracommunity.org has other sites you can look at for ideas. Rahul
