Subject: [dev-educ] Next IRC meeting : Subject is "Introduction to a
hybrid approach to software engineering and open source"
To: dev(a)education.openoffice.org
Hello to all
Please note there will be an IRC meeting on Monday 26th of January
2009, 16:00 UTC or 17:00 CET (Paris, Hamburg), 19.00 Greek time,
11:00 (Toronto)
Location : Server : irc.freenode.net / Channel : #education.openoffice.org
Content :
The meeting will provide an overview and room for discussion on a
hybrid approach to software engineering piloted at Aristotle
University's course 'Introduction to Software Engineering'. This
approach aims, amongst others, to bring together the various involved
stakeholders in a semi-structured way: own & fellow students, free
learners outside of formal education & open source practitioners /
projects.
The chat will be attended by Andreas Meiszner from The Open University
UK, who is taking care about design and organizational aspects and the
course team from Aristotle presented by Katerina Mous and Elen
Constantinou.
To get a better understanding on the hybrid approach in question
please see a paper and presentation at:
http://www.slideshare.net/andreasmeiszner/breaking-the-silence-taking-learn…http://www.scribd.com/doc/10933440/A-HYBRID-APPROACH-TO-COMPUTER-SCIENCE-ED…
This IRC meeting is free, everybody interested with Open source
teaching is warmly welcome. Thanks, and see you !
Eric Bachard
P.S.: thanks to Andreas Meiszner who corrected my wording :)

Recently MP govt has launched a website called *http://idea4cm.com/ *This
website is meant for submission for ideas to Chief Minister of MP.
This is a good platform to put our voice to govt.
There are many member who are actively involved in many field like Education
, ICT, Software patent, vendor neutralization of academic, Free software,
Govt Policies activist, FOSS enthusiastic etc. I hope they will feel this as
a good medium of communication to govt.
I do not know about status of other states of India, but its a nice
initiative inside MP.
If { you have any idea about national level idea submission portal , please
share the same }. else { it is a nice idea to build up so} .

Hi All,
In trying to promote FOSS with the government of Karnataka, one of the
problems is that Nudi does not work on any FOSS OS. However in getting
Nudi to work on a FOSS OS, i guess there are various issues , some of
which I have written below. Requesting the community to go through the
same and let me know If I have captured the problem accurately and also
let me know your thoughts on the solutions.
There is a way to make Nudi work on a FOSS distro by using SCIM I guess,
but that will mean that we have to implement Nudi in its existing format
which is not in Unicode. On the other hand, to move Nudi to Unicode, it
has to be done only by the KGP, soemthing which we dont know if they are
willing to do.
Now assuming that we get KGP to move Nudi to Unicode(and make it free
and open) i guess there are some problems with rendering kannada on
unicode(some things like arkavottu will not work? ), also the other
issue being that we need someone to support Nudi continuously as
Fedora,Ubuntu,Debian etc keep releasing newer versions right?
Please do let me know your thoughts.
Thanks,
Vinay.

Hi Om,
The documentation is really good!
All,
I know that we have alternate options to Nudi, on FOSS distros. But the issue is not that. the issue is that the government will want to use Nudi on FOSS.
So we need to get Nudi to work on FOSS..and for that i'm seeking inputs..what are your thoughts on getting Nudi to work on Ubuntu. Do share :-)
