A proposal to post on why should educational institutes use only free software

by Ravi Dwivedi

Dear All, I think we should write about why educational institutes should use only free software. The goal of the article will be to raise awareness on the dangers of proprietary software. Why educational institutes should use only free software? Suggest replacement of the already used software and how they give users freedom. For details on conducting lectures via free software, link to this article <https://fsf.org.in/article/better-than-zoom/> . I have started a thread here <https://codema.in/d/fmCJHPvr/write-about-why-educational-institutes-should-…>. Please send your comments/suggestions. -- Ravi Dwivedi My PGP key https://keys.openpgp.org/vks/v1/by-fingerprint/430F5BE41D681CD30711B9AE4D03…

Request for comments/suggestions on codema thread about "Our stand on ethical instant messengers"

by Ravi Dwivedi

Dear all, I propose that we post about how people can judge instant messengers.I have started a thread on codema regarding the same https://codema.in/d/CTeAEuGh/our-stand-on-ethical-instant-messengers . The current write-up is a bit WhatsApp centred and also explains the concepts of decentralization, federation and peer-to-peer communications. This is just a first draft so I am sure it needs a lot of improvements. Please post your comments/suggestions regarding the same. -- Ravi Dwivedi

MiniDebConf India 2021: Call for Proposals

by Ravi Dwivedi

Dear All, The MiniDebConf India Content team would like to call for proposals for the MiniDebConf India 2021[1] conference, which will take place online, from January 23rd to 24th, 2021. # Introduction MiniDebConf India, organised by the Debian India community and supported by Debian, will be streamed online so you can participate wherever you are. Aims to introduce and propagate Debian and Free Software in Indian subcontinent. We are currently set up for talks in English, Hindi and Malayalam. However, if you are more comfortable presenting in another language from the subcontinent, we would be more than happy to consider your proposal! The event will run from 1000 to 2100 hours IST (0430-1530 UTC) over two days. # Submitting an Event You can now submit an event proposal[2]. Events are not limited to traditional presentations or informal sessions (BoFs): we welcome submissions of tutorials, performances, art installations, debates, or any other format of event that you think would be of interest to the Debian community. Regular sessions may either be 20 or 45 minutes long (including time for questions), other kinds of sessions (workshops, demos, lightning talks, …) could have different durations. Please choose the most suitable duration for your session and explain any special requests. In order to submit a talk, you will need to create an account on the site. We suggest that Debian Salsa account holders (including DDs and DMs) use their Salsa login when creating an account. However, this isn’t required, as you can sign up with an e-mail address and password. # Timeline - - Talk Submission deadline: Sunday, January 10th 2021 - - Acceptance notification: Monday, January 11th 2021 # Topics can be anything that is relevant to Debian and Free Software. # Online Talks We expect speakers to pre-record their talks in advance. Live talks at an online conference are prone to technical problems, resulting in bad quality videos. We strongly encourage you to record your presentations as instructed here[3]. You can interact with the audience on the IRC channel. # Code of Conduct The event is covered by a Code of Conduct[4] designed to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. The code applies to all attendees, including speakers, and to the content of all presentations. Do not hesitate to contact us at india.mini(a)debconf.org if you have any questions or are unsure about certain content you’d like to present. # Video Coverage As this is an online conference, talks will be streamed live over the Internet. Unless speakers opt-out, all scheduled talks will be recorded and published later under the DebConf license[5] (MIT/Expat), as well as presentation slides and papers whenever available. Please note that, although we will make your wishes known to the participants, we cannot control whether attendees record and publish your talk from the live stream. # Questions/Queries In case of any queries or issues that require redressal, reach out to the organizers at india.mini(a)debconf.org See you all at the conference!
