FUDCon Pune reimbursements
by Rahul Sundaram 30 Jan '12

30 Jan '12

Hi Just a heads up. I had submitted the expense report for all domestic travel and have received the amount in my account in the start of this month. However I am not in India now and online banking requires otp (one time password) which I can't receive in my mobile. I will work out a alternative and transfer the cash to everyone in a couple of days. International travellers will be reimbursed by Harish Pillay directly. Thanks for your patience and feel free to drop me a mail if you have any questions. Rahul

Fwd: [ACTION REQUIRED v3] Retiring packages for F-17
by Rahul Sundaram 27 Jan '12

27 Jan '12

Hi There are several important packages including ayttm, compiz and netbeans in this list. If you want them, pick them before get retired. If you miss this deadline, you will have to submit a new review to get them back in. Rahul -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ACTION REQUIRED v3] Retiring packages for F-17 Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:58:59 -0500 From: Bill Nottingham <notting(a)redhat.com> Reply-To: Development discussions related to Fedora <devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> To: devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Each release, before branching, we block currently orphaned packages. It's that time again for Fedora 17. New this go-round is that we are also blocking packages that have failed to build since before Fedora 15. The following packages are currently orphaned, or fail to build. If you have a need for one of these packages, please pick them up. Due to the orphaning of packages due to inactive maintainers, this list is a little longer than normal. If these packages are not claimed, they will be retired shortly before the mass branch for Fedora 17 on February 7th.

[Event Report] 25th International Conference on VLSI Design, Hyderabad, India, Jan 7-11, 2012
by Shakthi Kannan 12 Jan '12

12 Jan '12

Hi, I attended the 25th International Conference on VLSI Design and 11th International Conference on Embedded Systems [1] between January 7-11, 2012 at the Hyderabad International Convention Centre [2], Hyderabad, India. The first two days consisted of tutorial sessions, and the next three days had the conference presentations [3]. There were also exhibit stalls from different companies. On the first day I attended the tutorial session on SystemC AMS extensions [4] by Markus Damm [5], Sumit Adhikari [6], and François Pecheux [7]. Chitlesh Goorah [8] had earlier tried to get SystemC into Fedora and Fedora Electronic Lab [9], but, due to licensing issues [10] it could not be included. SystemC-AMS is now released under Apache license. Open SystemC Initiative and Accellera Unite have now integrated to become Accellera Systems Initiative [11]. We hope to work with them to get their sources under a single free/open source software license. François Pecheux is from Laboratoire d'Informatique de Paris 6 [12], Pierre & Marie Curie University (UPMC) [13], and we already ship their free/open source EDA tools in Fedora. On day two, I attended the tutorial session by Sridhar Arvind [14] on 3D-ICE [15], a free/open source interlayer cooling emulator from Embedded System Laboratory [16], Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne [17], Switzerland. I have already been working with Sridhar, Prof. David Atienza [18] and Alessandro Vincenzi [19] on testing 3D-ICE on Fedora. I had built and tested the dependency SuperLU [20] library and the 3D-ICE package before the tutorial session. Their software has already been downloaded by over 70 research labs around the world. I will push our tested changes to them. On the later half of the day, I attended a session on verification constraint complexity. Teal [21] is a useful verification utility and connection library that has support for constraints and parameter control. The authors of the tool had agreed to release it as free/open source software, and we also ship it in Fedora. On the following three days of the conference, I attended various paper presentations from different tracks from reconfigurable architectures to methods in AMS optimization. I met Prof. Susmita Sur-Kolay [22] from the Indian Statistical Institute [23], Kolkata, India where they run Fedora in their labs. They also wished to use the 3D-ICE tool and GPU tools in their labs. I also visited the exhibit stalls meeting different people from the industry and academia. There are quite a few interesting free/open source tools that users can benefit from, and we will work in making them available in Fedora. In 2013, the conference will be held in Pune. Thanks to Red Hat for sponsoring my travel and participation at the conference.
