11 Jul '03

Hi Ashwin Khandare, You were looking for some Linux based realtime video server; have u come across any such? The reason I'm asking this is that I'm also interested in that kind of thing. Write me about ur requirements & current status on the same, I'll b happy if I can be of any help! Plz write me if u (or anybody from this list) know any Linux based MPEG4 Encoder (both pc based board & supporting encoding software) to simultaniously capture & stream live video. Thanks in advance. -sAn------------------------------------------ -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup CareerBuilder.com has over 400,000 jobs.

RE: clarifications on article in NC pg 24-25
by Trevor Warren 11 Jul '03

Morning Mr. Sudhir, With reference to your article on page 32 "Dell Latitude D600", Praveen has done a wonderful job about the same. But when it comes to evaluating the Laptop with Linux, i should there's much to desired. He tries the same with Lindows 3.0 and states the same has failed to work with GUI/X. I do understand that an esteemed publication like yours needs to platform neutral and present the facts as-is. On this side of the line we just expect well researched facts/figures. In case your reporters need help on the same they can always dash couple of emails to me. I do take the onus of helping out if/when possible. But would humbly request well researched articles/facts/figures. One small bad review here....and one there all adds up to a mega mix of publicity we can do without. Just to let you know sir.......personally i use Red Hat Linux on my Dell Latitude and i am more than pleased. Trevor On Fri, 2003-07-11 at 21:55, Sudhir wrote: > Mr.Warren, > Thanks a lot.

clarifications on article in NC
by Trevor Warren 10 Jul '03

10 Jul '03

Dear Sir, This mail is in reference to your article "BuzzCut", page 12, Network Computing, July 2003. ".............As though the SCO v/s IBM standoff wasn't enough, the Linux battle is going to get murkier as thousands of underlying patented codes from different sources lie within its source. How these patents will affect SCO's claims of intellectual property infringements remains to be seen." This morning was to jolt me so bad that i decided to pen this following email and give your publication a piece of my mind. Sir....these lines as commented in your esteemed magazine don't seem to be well researched. I have been an avid reader for a long time now but such attrocious comments i won't stand for. Besides, i also suggest your publication takes sometime to review the story on how Microsoft post alignment with SCO has got the frailing victim to sue IBM and create the ensuing stir in markets world wide. It just goes to show the kind of cheap tricks mircosoft will play towards creating FUD about the Open Source and Free Software Movement. Rather than get further from the crux of the issue, my humble suggestion would be to give an impartial look to the SCO v/s IBM story in your coming edition since you have already taken the trouble to harness FUD in IT users nationwide with your article. It indeed would help provide readers with clarity on the ETHICS of Microsoft and other Bullies in the market place. PN: * The comments don't represent views of my Employer. * I am not the OFFICIAL MOUTH PEICE mouth peice for the OS-FSF community. Trevor -- ( >- LINUX, It's all about CHOICE -< ) /~\ __ twarren(a)redhat.com __ /~\ | \) / Pre Sales Consultant - Red Hat \ (/ | |_|_ \ 9820349221(M) | 22881326(O) / _|_| \___________________________________/

WORLD SOCIAL FORUM-4 (IN MUMBAI, 2004) AND FREE SOFTWARE -------------------------------------------------------- JOIN OUR Latin American (and other) friends in an initiative to harness the power of Free Software for free speech and knowledge! Writes Martin Olivera <martin_olivera(a)yahoo.com.ar> from Argentina: "At first (this mailing list) was intended to organize the Hipatia (www.hipatia.info) participation in the WSF4 (World Social Forum 4). The main objective of Hipatia is the freedom of knowledge, leveraging free software as the key tool to do this. In this way, this list would like coordinate efforts to fulfill WSF4 software necessities (web, mail, communications, news, virtual spaces, anything...) using only free software, cooperating worldwide." WSF4 is to be held in the Indian city of Mumbai (Bombay) in January 2004. Do join this mailing list. It is open to everyone who could participate anyway for this: coordination, local (India-based) support, resources, free software selection/development/adaptation, content manmagement..." What possibilities we think of is restricted only by your imagination!
