Hi Friends,
After my computer went up in flames ... I was shocked
.. I recovered
Then I brought a replacement ... it went up in flames
too ... I cried n cried
And Then the Bangalore Electrical Engineers came and
replaced one of high tension wires in the building
where I currently stay.So, if this borrowed computer
doesn't meet the same fate of its dead friends I would
*now* be active on mailing-list again.
Arky, The King of Lame Causes Amen
Season's Greetings !!!!

Morning Friends,
Just snipped the old news dating back July 2005 on
our website(http://bangalore.gnu.org.in), please
kindly help all of us by maintaining the
pages,correcting the spelling mistakes and adding news
(FN, Please check the news about e-Governance
Conference).
There are a lot of pages that help people finding
resources about gnu/Linux, indian software projects,
finding CD's and an active campaign.
Prav, Can you please update the minutes of the
previous meeting so that folks who missed them can
keep track of developments.
The whole reason for having a Wiki for our website is
that the site can be updated by anyone, anytime.
Please make the best use of it.
Cheers

Greetings!
There were discussions in Indian GNU/Linux Users'
Group, Mumbai on where to have the January month's
meeting.
I had an idea. What if all our FSUGs/GLUGs members
from all over India meet together, online?. How would
it be if we all meet in the beginning of the New Year?
After discussion with the channel ops, I am happy to
call for an all-India FSUGs/GLUGs members meet on
January 1, 2006 at 1500 hrs IST at #gnu-india on
irc.freenode.net.
No agenda as such. The idea is to get to meet folks
from different FSUGs/GLUGs, get to know what
FSUGs/GLUGs have been and are working on, free
software ideas/suggestions/plans/activities for 2006.
I will broadcast this message to as many FSUGs/GLUGS
that I am member of and that I know of. Please feel
free to spread the word.
Thanking you all and looking forward to meeting you
all,
SK

Hi,
Minutes of Dec 10 BoF by FOSS EDU IN group
Please join the discussion on the wiki
http://fci.wikicities.com/wiki/BoFs/Education/Dec10-2005
- Creation of a FOSS course material
- Consortium for FOSS training
consortium - a group of people, countries, companies, etc. who are
working together on a
particular project:
- Building local communities in different campuses
- A GNUsletter on to update every months activities.
- Creation of technical content
- Selecting FOSS projects which students can take up as academic
projects
- Broadband internet for students
This was a very interesting point. As high speed internet connection is a
must for foss development we should offer it for interested students as
scholarships (comapnies like Redhat/Novell/Google/HP/IBM .... can offer it
-- It costs just Rs 250 per month per student)
- FOSS centeres in colleges (Eg: IITB) in association with companies
were students get all the facilities for foss development.
- FOSS campaigns in schools
As most of the colleges are having exam season we are looking for schools in
the mean time as targets. We hope to have some seminars in schools in
Bangalore in the coming months.
- Another interesting project is for a VCD shop in Ulsoor
Here is a link to the
discussion<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/linux-bangalore-technical/message/21791>

"GNU is the system, and Linux is the kernel."

Me scribbles at http://www.pravi.co.nr
Hi,
Tomo 3.00pm is the FOSS-EDU meet at (PESIT) Tea House. Its near
DevegowdaPetrol Bunk a few meters from Sagar Apollo Clinic. There is a
Planet Bajaj
Showroom too.
Tea House is some 2-3kms from Banashankari Bus Terminal. Its a straight
drive from Banashankari Bus Terminal on Ring Road ( 100 ft). Landmark is
DEVEGOWDA PETROL BUNK where tea house is located. This petrol bunk is a very
popular landmark. It will take some 20 mins from Jaynagar to reach there. If
u are coming from MG Road area, take the Mysore Road FlyOver so that you
dont get confused. Come straight on Mysore Road and then take a left to Ring
Road.
The focus is how to involve students in the FOSS process.
Updated list of topics
* Create apt/yum/portage repos for currently available education tools
* Help students to select foss projects as part of academic
requirement.
* Workout a schedule to conduct workshops and learn foss education
tools
How can we help more students to use scholarships/interships to work on
FOSS like
* Redhat Scholarships -
http://www.in.redhat.com/community/rhscholarship.php
* Novell internship program - http://www.gnomebangalore.org/?q=nosip
* Google Summer of Code http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html
* DotGnu Southern summer of code
http://t3.dotgnu.info/blog/dotgnu/southern-summer-of-code-2005-11-21-14-44.…
* Involve live CD folks like Sarath (slynux), Arjun (morphing morphix),
Moinak Ghosh (Belanix)
* Sarai/CSDS Short Term FLOSS Fellowship
http://www.sarai.net/community/announce.htm#floss
* Servelots/Janastu has volunteer/internship for community and NGO
oriented applications, migration support. http://pantoto.com
* Small Research Grant Programme of
SPACE<http://space-kerala.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=8…>
http://space-kerala.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=8…
