hi,
first attempt at creating OSM acceptable gpx files from sparc device:
http://nrcfosshelpline.in/confman/browser/branches/sparc2gpx/
sparc2gpx.py
usage:
get gps data from sparc device:
cat /dev/ttyUSB0 > infile.txt
sparc2gpx -t infile.txt outfile.gpx
output has been tested with JOSM and Potlatch and is accepted by
both. (This is not to say that it is a 100% pukka gpx file, but it is
useable)

Subject: The Moblin Contest / and a special Event Invite
Date: Thursday 05 Jun 2008
From: "Williams, Valsa"
To all my dear Open Source Friends,
I encourage all of you to register and attend the events marked below,
if you are there, or send it to the developers in Chennai & Hyderabad.
More events in other cities in the future, stay tuned :-)
As mentioned to all of you, this is our chance of making Linux & OSS the
default platform for the new generation of computing devices
- Mobile Internet Devices, low cost netbooks, sub notebooks etc. These
products built by several OEMs will flood the market soon. Asus, HCL,
Wipro are excellent examples.
Retail outlets will have them and many sales persons know only Windows!
Some of my friends in Pune went to retail outlets (CROMA) to
demonstrate Linux & OSS loaded on Mileap & Asus eeePC to the sales
person, who was then convinced & happy :-) :-)
Let's also encourage developers to join the Contest to develop
interesting applications for housewives, children, doctors, games,
educational software, content, entertainment software etc etc, relevant
for our country and for others.
Please do circulate to all. Thanks a ton!
Join us to learn more about the Moblin community.

Any help towards resolving this problem will be highly appreciated.
Hello Everyone,
I have setup Virtualbox OSE in Debian Etch and my guest OS is XP. I am
using Samba and bridged mode networking in order to use the 'Host
Interface' feature that allows the host and guest OS to talk to each
other in the same subnet. I am facing a problem of networking in the
guest XP. It's ethernet interface has stopped receiving any packets so
it is no longer on the net.
The History:
The virtual HDD is on an NTFS partition so Etch was first upgraded to
kernel 2.6.22 in order to use ntfs-3g. Then Virtualbox OSE was installed
manually from the tar ball on the VBox site. It took a long time to
compile and install but everything went smoothly. Initially Virtualbox
was used in NAT mode so everything was fine and net was up and running
in the guest XP. Then as per instructions on various websites,
uml-utilities and bridge-utils were installed and the tap0 interface was
set up. In Etch, Samba was installed as per various website
instructions. At one time the 2 OSs even talked to each other and I
could access shared folders. However after correcting some minor
mistakes in my setup and rebooting the machine, the guest XP canot
receive any packets. Once, manually changing the /dev/net/tun ownership
even let me get communication back again. However the joy was short
lived and after a reboot, even duplicating the same process yielded no
results. Now everything is as per the book with proper startup entries
but still no packets received by the guest OS. The brctl showstp br0
command shows that both eth0 and tap0 are alive and kicking in
forwarding mode.
The Mystery:
What is amazing is that when I cross checked my Virtualbox by booting it
with a live Kubuntu CD, it was and is always able to get its IP address
by DHCP from my ADSL router and internet was up and running too. However
the OS booted from the virtual HDD cannot get its net up. It was even
knocked off and a new virtual disk and OS was loaded but still no result.

My basic aim is to check if mod_rewrirte works . In the httpd.conf the
following lines exist so the modules are loaded !!
LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
i add a ( very simple ) rule to rewriite on the url anything matching the
pattern bob.html ---- to index.html
But when i try to browse
*http://*www.agnello.sys.qualiproj.com/bob.html<http://www.agnello.sys.qualiproj.quali.com/bob.html>its
still shows me the html page for bob.html and not index.html.
no error logs found !!
Can any one help me with this.
Thanks

It is time of Open Letters, this time it is from Dr Deepak Phatak of IIT Bombay.
"With reference to the recent happenings in connection with the ISO
standardization process of OOXML, actions by or on behalf of Microsoft
have caused me deep pain and hurt. Apart from the personal anguish,
these actions have tarnished the name of my Institute along with that
of several other organizations represented on our committee. In my
opinion, these actions go well beyond the behavioral boundaries for a
commercial entity. some of these amount to interference with the
governance process of a sovereign country. Luckily, wiser and
experienced people are in-charge of governance of the nation. However,
as a humble teacher and a proud Indian, I wish to register a strong
and visible protest."
It is a really long post, but surely worth reading. It will give you
an insight into a real and personal experience by a professor in one
of the most respected instituitions of our country.

Todays Hindu Bangalore edition carries an interview with Jesse James
Garrett and a quote from the article about Free Software:
And what does a self-made man like him think about the Free Software
movement? "Tell me if my metaphor makes sense," he says, as he
proceeds to compare it to a large ball atop a hill which needs an
initial push before it gathers momentum. "I think the movement is
coming of age and is extremely important. Based on sharing of ideas,
it is integral to any innovation and growth," he explains animatedly.
