Hi Friends
I recently purchased HP J028tx laptop which came along with pre installed Windows 8. I plan to get rid of windows 8 completely and install Ubuntu, but would like to know how to retain Windows 8 licence as no windows license key was provided along with the laptop. I may need the license to setup virtual instance for testing connectivity with Samba ADs server.
Kindly advice
Regards

Hello,

because 19th Sunday has the Mumbai Marathon. What does everyone think about
this change?

I meant January meetup and not December meetup in the subject line!

With recent revelations of NSA spying on all communications they can
get their hands on, it is all the more important for us to build
technological solutions like federated social networks, encrypted
email etc.
Diaspora is an an important solution to this critical problem facing
all of us. But as it is a social network, along with technical part,
we need to take it to the masses.
So if you are keen about protecting your privacy, join us in this
campaign and lets together plan how far we can take it.
RSVP: http://www.meetup.com/Diaspora/Mumbai-IN/1078062/
Also if any of you are interested in technical contributions like
packaging diaspora for debian or developing features for diaspora (it
is a ruby on rails application), let me know.
Btw, I will be in Mumbai from 9th to 24th Jan and I would like to
visit as many campuses as possible to promote free software, free
culture, privacy, internet freedom etc. If you have contacts with any
schools or colleges, connect with me.
A little about me, I contribute to debian and maintains many ruby
libraries needed for diaspora. You can see the current status of
diaspora packaging at http://people.debian.org/~praveen/diasbar/
I used to be a Senior System Administrator with Red Hat in Pune. Now
I'm just travelling around India promoting digital commons and meeting
friends.

You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your
rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as
they follow the rules: laws and constitution.

I will be in Mumbai from 9 to 24 Jan and I would like to meet the
community and share what I have learned. I can take debian packaging
workshops if anyone is interested to learn and start contributing to
debian.
