BODY { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px; } Dear Shirish, We are having some opening for Internships on the subjects but the thing is, Mumbai is just too costly to live vs the stipend that can be offered.

Please connect with me offline so that we can discuss, Thanks & Regards, Mitul Limbani, Founder & CEO, Enterux Solutions, The Enterprise Linux Company (TM), www.enterux.com +91-9820332422 On Wed 13/01/10 08:46 , Shirish Padalkar shirish4you(a)gmail.com sent: Hello All.

[slightly OT] Indian python society
by Kenneth Gonsalves 09 Jan '10

09 Jan '10

hi, most of you would know that we are in the process of forming a society for Python in India - main reason is to have a bank account for running pycon India. For an all India society we need signatories from at least 8 states - so far we have karnataka, kerala, tamilnadu, West bengal, tripura and Delhi. We need at least 2 more states. Anyone game? You just need address proof and should be interested in the aims and objects of the society. The draft MOA is here: http://wiki.python.org/moin/Moa and the list of signees is here: http://wiki.python.org/moin/Moa_Signees caveat: this is a language society - so it is not purely foss - we are platform neutral -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Senior Project Officer NRC-FOSS http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/

CA offers to test GNUKhata
by Suhit Kelkar 07 Jan '10

07 Jan '10

Greetings, My father, a CA in Mumbai, handles non-profits mainly, and also corporates. He is interested in testing GNUKhata in his office, and filing feedback on a regular basis about the program. Should the developers please, they could write to me, and I can set up a conversation as per mutual convenience. The benefits to him are partly ideological and partly practical. Benefits to the GNUKhata include real-world analysis of competence and generation of ideas. Do let me know what you think. Here's wishing 2010 is the year of the ox and the penguin. Regards Suhit Kelkar

thanks gnukhata developers
by Suhit Kelkar 06 Jan '10

06 Jan '10

thanks krishnakant, I have recd the gnukhata debs, and will now proceed as planned. power to you guys. we will email feedback to the developers, who will be at liberty to make it public *at their option.* however, i'll respond to offlist queries from individuals (there has already been one query). to those who spoke in support of me, i'll say thanks. speak up more, because this mailing-list's culture is in the hands of such as us. trolling stops when we firmly speak, "you are nothing but old men inflicting your failures and frustrations upon us. stop polluting the list with your minor names and inconsequential rants at once." thanks again! suhit kelkar

collabcad.com
by Kussh Singh 06 Jan '10

06 Jan '10

I was very happy to note that now Linux has some CAD software which is comparable to the best in the world or eventually going to be there. I was doubly happy to know our public sector was making a contribution in this regard. But my hopes were dashed when i wanted to access the documentation/download page. Looks to be more hype than real. Commercial motivation seems to have gripped the govt babus. This seems to be a software made from open source or GPL softwares in the area of CAD/ERP where linux is weak (with respect to FREE* by cost*softwares) . Yet it is not open source or even its documentation is not available to the lay public. It promises to work with various closed source CAD formats most of which are notoriously un-interchangeable. Can the NIC- national Informatics Centre which is* publicly funded* develop such a software from Free softwares that may be GPLed? and then deny the software or even its documentation to the people of India? Can India ever attain leadership in technology if the govt agencies themselves deny ACCESS to documentation on usage of such CAD/CAM/CAE technologies which have themselves been developed from Free softwares. Unless such cutting edge software is tested/used by an evergrowing number of people, it will remain buggy and enough human resources will not be able to adequately train themselves to use such technologies in an increasingly competitive and superspecialised world. On one hand NIC says it is trying to promote FOSS and on the other hand nicsi etc showcase more of propreitary softwares or run of the mill softwares instead of cutting edge softwares. Nicsi is supposed to be a distributor of this collabcad.com software. Let us not forget that technologies like GRASS etc in terms of GIS technology was open sourced by the US govt's deptt of defense's Corps of Engineers. Regards, Kussh PS: I am seriously trying to get the documentation/trial download of such software or know the SIZE of such software to evaluate it.

If GNUKhata developers are reading this, have you received my earlier email? There was no response. I am thinking the email didn't reach you. Regards Suhit Kelkar

Monthly donations to Open Source Project
by Shirish Padalkar 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

Hello All, Almost we all use FOSS for daily works. I was thinking if we can contribute some money to some Open Source Projects. Idea is like this- We can collect monthly contribution (say Rs.100 each) from the people who want to contribute. Select an Open Source Project of the month. Make the donation. I don't think Rs. 100 per month is more challenging for all. Even less (or more ;)) contributions can be accepted. What are your thought? With regards, Shirish Padalkar

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Linuxers Digest, Vol 81, Issue 8

"lot of people offer to test software - the very fact that a person is offering and expecting some one to take him up on the offer shows he is not serious. Anyone even vaguely serious would go to the website, look at the software, download and try it out and then come up with ideas/bugs/requests." -- Kenneth Gonsalves, a fellow list user, said this, and I would like to register offence at his statement. Paradoxically, this gentleman emails me offline asking us to test *his* financial accounting package. Well,*that* involves downloading close to 30 mb dependency crud, after which we had to perform occult ceremonies with pythons, boas and other snakes in the grass just to get the darn thing to work. We are disinclined to waste productive time with installation arcana. We want work done, and do not spend all day trolling in mailing lists. Is there a .deb we can pick up somewhere? And yes, I would consider contact with the developer *is* essential. Mailing lists (like this one?) are rude and take a high-handed stand with genuine offers to help. Proprietary software people are more polite, less arrogant. Tally is working just fine. You want support from professionals? Come half way down the bridge first. I've had my say. I have contacted the GNUKhata dev team, and hope to get a reply. I would not have posted to this mailing list again, but unfortunately, the GNUKhata deb was unavailable from the notified download location. Suhit Kelkar
