We have tried the traditional method of recruiting and hiring experienced help as well as fresh grads from local vocational institutes, that offer training in Linux.

We want to train and hire individuals who have a deep thirst for knowledge and the desire to excel. To achieve our objective we are starting a 3 month internship program. The internship will cover the basics in: 1. Linux System Administration. 2. Networking Administration. 3. Hardware. 4. Simple shell Scripting. with practical sessions including client site visit with our field engineer. Timings: Mon-Fri 10:00 - 17:00 Qualifications: 1. Passion for FOSS technology. 2.

CsvToKicad released.
by Linux 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

Hello List, For electronics engineers, when using open source EDA tools, one of big challenge is component schematic symbols. If you are creating symbol for component with more than 100 pins, it becomes very time consuming and challenging to create error free symbols. Here is a simple program to create symbols for open source EDA kicad. The idea is to describe symbol in .csv format and convert .csv to schematic symbol. At preset program supports Kicad only, but we as a community can expand the program to include as many EDAs(free/commercial) as we can. So that manufactures may start distributing .csv files for their components. Hence I request, if you know Java, have time and know some symbol formats, please contribute. The link to program is http://sourceforge.net/projects/csvtokicad/ http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Utilities/CsvToKicad.shtml Thank you. Best Regards Balwinder Singh

Screen brightness problem in ubuntu 10.04
by Amit Gokhale 17 Apr '11

17 Apr '11

Hello Everybody, This is my first post in the mailing list. I have Acer Aspire 4741Z laptop. After installing Ubuntu 10.4 everything is working out of the box. Only problem is I am not able to adjust screen brightness using Fn + left/right arrow keys. When I press those keys slider moves, but screen brightness does not changes. As brightness is always at maximum it drains battery fast. I have updated my distro with all latest patches and updates including latest kernel patch. But still have the problem. I even posted this problem on ubuntu forums also, but no luck there. Searched ubuntu forums also but found nothing. Is anyone else having same problem? Thanks in advance. -- Regards, Amit Gokhale. 9619147571

[Commercial-China offer]All kinds of embedded hardware
by lug＠the6mgroup.com 17 Apr '11

17 Apr '11

Hi , It just occurred to me that I am silent member of this group since years .Years back I was just a small guy running a business in India . Now that life has changed a lot .I thought I will revisit you guys and see what I can be of use to others here . I have a Chinese and a Hong kong company. We are based in Shenzhen ( the nerve center of electronics manufacturing ), China . The interesting part is we are an unique Chinese company( with Indian origins) which has license to import export from China and also we have local software consultancy and solutions providing license for Doing business in China. China is the hot bed for consumer electronics. I am sure lot of my Indian brothers are now working on ARM technologies and various interesting projects in embedded technology and I am sure things are a lot harder in India because the hardware is not so freely available . In contrast in China all components and hardware required can be sourced very fast . So I would like to supply any hardware you may require even in small numbers .Since we have regular shipments to India for our existing business we can deliver the goods in Mumbai for you too . If there are people who are interested in developing China market for any of their products they may write to me also . Also if any of you guys want to come to Shenzhen,China and explore the mind blowing massive markets here feel free to ask for help . Please email me on mail(a)nikhilbhaskaran.com or laptopsmumbai(a)gmail.com I dont check the lug emails so much Take care all Regards Nikhil Bhaskaran

Configuring Dnsmasq server
by Mukesh Yadav 16 Apr '11

16 Apr '11

Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 and I have installed dnsmasq to resolve local domain say www.example.com. In dnsmasq I have configured these settings. address=/example.com/127.0.0.1 listen-address=192.168.0.3 The dnsserver is my laptop on which I have my xampp too. On my laptop I have given 192.168.0.3 as default DNS and it works fine. when I type www.example.com on Browser. On my desktop I'm running Windows which is having 192.168.0.2 IP. But the desktop is not resolving www.example.com I have changed default DNS to 192.168.0.3 and these two machine are connected via mtnl router and also I'm able to ping vise versa. -- Regards Mukesh Yadav
