No emails from mailman, any errors from my side?
by Roshan 20 Oct '06

MM admins, Are you receiving any server logs of the mailman of GLUG-BOM mailing list stating that emails are failing delivery at the following email address: d_rosh2001 at yahoo dot co dot in ? Though this should have only been to the admins, I am testing whether the mailman is actually accepting my mail:) -- http://www.gnu.org.in __________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Chart of Novell's Counterclaims and SCO's Reply
by Harsh Busa 19 Oct '06

19 Oct '06

Groklaw has posted a lengthy table that details the legal exchanges between Novell and SCO. "Groklaw's E-man submitted a handy chart of Novell's Amended Counterclaims compared with the SCO's reply, so we can compare paragraph by paragraph and easily see what SCO is denying and what it is admitting. I find these charts so handy, and I hope you do too." http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20061018074146358 -- __________________________ http://www.ebackend.com/blog

A paid person is only available for as long as he is paid for. I am sure saswata and you can provide enough inputs for now, and Rony has also promised an accountant who will help out. I have given an outline of my needs in: http://nrcfosshelpline.in/financial/AvSap all that is needed at present is to give advice regarding the points raised. You must forgive me for being a little cynical, because i have raised all these points and asked questions several times in the past and got nowhere. Once there is concrete comitment in terms of willingness to spend a little time putting in comments and suggestions, we can move to a more organised stage. Remember, the foss way is to aim small, commit often, do incremental improvements and test at each stage rather than have a grand plan before starting out. I am cc-ing the mailing list on this post as i see no reason why a couple of admins should drive us underground when we are in the process of finalising something - it is another thing after a group has been formed, separate mailing lists etc can be started. But at present no group has been formed and everything is at the stage of rough ideas and proposals. (It is not as if they were paying for the bandwidth or something) -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS lawgon(a)au-kbc.org http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/

[OT] Camera as a scanner.
by Rony 17 Oct '06

17 Oct '06

Hello All, At a meet in HBSCE, before the meet, in the canteen, Krish was explaining to me his project about converting books into talking ones by scanning the pages and converting them into text and text to speech. He mentioned about the difficulty in getting a low cost hand-held scanner. At that time I thought of a an idea of using a megapixel camera/camera phone instead of a scanner in order to speed up the scanning process. When we met Dr. Nagarjun, we mentioned this to him too and he found it feasible. A few days ago a client of mine asked me to checkout the 'MotoMing' cell phone as it had a business card reader along with some other good features. Today as I visited the websites and saw a flash demo, I was pleasantly surprised to know that it runs on linux and they use the same technique of clicking photos of the cards and extracting the text through OCR. So Krish can try out this method for his project too and this also gives me a positive feeling that the bar code based software transfer technique through a mp camera should be feasible in the sign posts for VI people idea that was discussed some time back. We only need to create our own algorithm for the OCR. Regards, Rony. Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
