Hi,
Linux DHCP issues are getting a problem. I have around 100 machines on the
network where most of them are windows and some linux. If a client goes offline and then comes back most of the time there is a IP conflict.. I have never faced this issue on my home network though.
Lately we are doing a static ip with each client to avoid this. Does anybody here faced this issue. And what could be the reason.. Any suggestions ?

Hi All,
I am new to GNU/Linux and Open Source world. I had seen lots of open
source stable projects on internet, which anybody can download, modify
and sell to anybody.
Now the question arises; if a *PERSON A* develops a stable and good
project as an Open Source and upload it over the internet and the
*PERSON B* from some other country downloads and modify it with his name
as an author (basically he is stealing someone's code) and sell it to
some company to make money out of it. So how this *PERSON A* is going to
be benefited.
Please excuse me if I am wrong in asking this question.
Best Regards,
Aasif Shaikh.
Hi!
I recently installed FC10 on my desktop PC. Everything's running fine
expect for my logitech 3-button serial mouse which is not getting
recognised under FC10.
In earlier versions, it used to work by manually editing the xorg.conf
file as below:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
However, in FC10 there is no xorg.conf file by default. So, as per
instructions that I found on the net, I created xorg.conf file by
giving the below command:
Xorg -configure :1
and manually edited the mouse section accordingly. But still no luck.
Then I tried using the system-config-display utility but there is no
mouse section in it. Uncle Google also has thrown his hands up! Please
help!
Regards,
Sarfaraz
FYI. Some of you may be interested in joining/attending OLPC-Mumbai's
first meeting on March 14.
cheers,
Sameer

A minor correction: Just handing over the code is not enough.The
seller has to make the code available to the buyer *under the terms of GPL*.

A draft FOSS manifesto for Indian political parties
http://osindia.blogspot.com/2009/02/draft-foss-manifesto-for-indian.html
With elections approaching in April 2009, it was time to create a
draft FOSS manifesto for Indian political parties. This is a first
draft and I have written this keeping in mind that most Indian
politicians would not be familiar with FOSS. Hence, the usage of
simple language that anyone can understand. If you feel that any
section here needs improvement, please let me know.
Comments/suggestions welcome.

A draft FOSS manifesto for Indian political parties
The Free and Open Source Software community in India calls upon
political parties to make FOSS usage and promotion a central part of
the IT, e-government and education plans in their election manifestos.
FOSS is software which is liberally licensed to grant the right of
users to study, change, and improve its design through the
availability of its source code. The open, inclusive and participatory
nature of FOSS is a natural fit for the vibrant traditions of Indian
democracy. Since software is the foundation of the knowledge economy,
India's IT infrastructure should be built on FOSS and not on closed,
proprietary software systems.
We believe that encouragement of FOSS will result in:
* Development of the domestic IT industry
* Creation of jobs
* Encouragement of skills development and upgradation
* Enable localization of software to Indian languages
* Reduction of India's dependence on monopolistic proprietary
software vendors
* Encourage the usage of open standards
* Bridging the digital divide
* Rapid modernization and computerization of India's education system
* Technology upgradation of India's Small and Medium Enterprises
* Efficient usage of budget outlays for e-government
* Faster technology development through Collaborative Innovation
We call upon political parties in India to support the Indian FOSS community by:
1. Encouraging the use of FOSS in Indian education system. This
will inculcate the virtues of collaboration, sharing and participation
in children from a very young age and make computerization of schools
affordable.
2. Eliminating proprietary software from the education syllabus and
making the syllabus vendor-neutral, thus giving teachers and students
the choice of software that suits their budgets and needs.
3. Using FOSS in e-government to the maximum possible extent and
ensuring that government tenders are open and do not favor proprietary
software vendors. All software developed with tax-payers money should
be released under a FOSS license to encourage collaboration; and the
sharing of code and best practices.
4. Mandating the usage of open standards that are free from
royalties and vendor lock-in so that the interaction between the
government and citizens happens in a free and open manner befitting a
democracy.
5. Encouraging freely shareable, FOSS based knowledge repositories
like Wikipedia in Indian languages.
6. Encouraging the usage of the collaborative model of FOSS in
scientific research. Science thrives on collaboration and the sharing
of knowledge. The current trend of privatizing knowledge leads to
secrecy in science and reduces collaboration. We must use the FOSS
model based on collaboration, community and shared ownership of
knowledge to spark a renaissance of knowledge in India.
7. Eliminating software and business method patents that have lead
to huge amounts of litigation in developed countries. Indian
traditions have held that knowledge grows by sharing and diminishes
when hoarded. Patents on software and business methods grant undue
monopolies on ideas and prevent independent invention and the sharing
of knowledge.
India has one of the most youthful populations in the world and it is
important that they have access to the tools with which the
information society is built. The freedom to modify the source code,
the ability to share knowledge and build communities make Free and
Open Source Software the best, long-term model for India's
development. We therefore urge all political parties to encourage the
usage of FOSS for India's development.
