Fwd: Announce: DebianArt.org
by Praveen A 10 May '07

10 May '07

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: André Luiz Rodrigues Ferreira Date: २००७ मई १० ०२:१८ Subject: Announce: DebianArt.org To: debian-desktop Hi all, After some comments in debian-desktop list[1], the DebianArtwork Team[2] prepared the DebianArt.org site[3]. DebianArt.org is a place for high quality artwork and themes for the Debian Desktop[4]. The idea is use the website for contests, creating an archive of user contributed artwork that can be freely used and included in upcoming Debian releases. The artwork should be pleasant, yet unintrusive. Ideally, it should work well with the default user interface of the three major desktops: GNOME, KDE and Xfce; but there's also room for more generic Debian related artwork like t-shirts, labels and system sounds. For example, the Debian Desktop team can create contests for create packages of popular files. The user can put the follows categories: - Wallpaper - Splash screen - Icon - System sound - Logo - Usplash - T-shirt - Screenshot - Generic What do you think? We think this is one of the available ways for a best desktop.... Can you test? Please register and put your artworking :D Thanks to Valessio Brito and Gustavo Franco by their precious help !!!

09 May '07

Hello all, I wish to start a FOSS based project for enterprise use. The project is developed in LAMP(GNU/Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) suite and also uses third party libraries like Smarty(http://smarty.php.net) , Xajax(http://xajaxproject.org) and ADOdb (http://adodb.sourceforge.net/). All these libraries are licensed under LGPL. Can I use GNU GPL(v2) for the above software? Kindly provide some guidance. regards Manilal K M.

Action: Sign on "A Letter to Warner Chairman Edgar Bronfman"
by Praveen A 03 May '07

03 May '07

During Monday's "Wake Up Warner" call-in action, Warner Chairman Edgar Bronfman's assistant suggested we send him a letter - that she would make sure he would see. We know how that worked out with Steve Jobs and Apple, so here it is, a letter to Edgar Bronfman, Jr. asking him to reconsider his current opposition to Digital Music free of Digital Restrictions. http://www.defectivebydesign.org/actions/open_letter/warner_music Cheers Praveen -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് Join The DRM Elimination Crew Now! http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/Anti-DRM-Campaign

Broken pgms
by Mahesh M 03 May '07

03 May '07

Why is it that the required files and libraries are not distributed with the package? Can any arrangement be made for the same? Like... When s/w s are d/l ed one may not be able to install it (errors like ncurses are missing and all) User end people find it very very difficult... They hate searching net for every single thing jus to install one single package. I have been hearing this for a thousand times.. Is it just about the size consumption or is there any other concern?? -- Mahesh Its sure to be dark if you close your eyes. http://maheshmukundan.blogspot.com/
