Hi friends,
This is a gentle reminder about the Software Freedom Day celebration event
that FSMK is organizing along with SFLC-ND at IISc tomorrow, 17th of Sept at
3 p.m.
I hope all the free software enthusiasts can come and celebrate with us
Software Freedom Day.
Details of the event are as follows:
* Interaction with Prof.Eben Moglen on the Freedom in the Cloud at Indian
Institute of Science, on 17th September , 3p.m – 5 p.m, faculty hall IISc.
*
Speaker: Prof. Eben Moglen
Professor of …
[View More]Law and Legal History at Columbia University Founder,
Director-Counsel & Chairman of Software Freedom Law Center
Time: Fri. Sep 17 2010 3pm-5pm
Venue: Faculty Hall, IISc
Title of Talk: "Freedom in the Cloud: Software Freedom, Privacy and Security
for Web 2.0 and Cloud Computing"
Abstract:
Everyone wants a piece of you these days: Google, Facebook, Flickr, Apple,
AT&T, Bing. They'll give you free e-mail, free photo storage, free web
hosting, even a free date. They just want to listen in. And you can't wait
to let them. They'll store your stuff, they'll organize your photos, they'll
keep track of your appointments, as long as they can watch. It all goes into
the "Cloud."
How we got here is quite a scary story. But nowhere near as scary as getting
out again. This talk will discuss how much worse things have become since
the pre-cloud era and explain what you can do to reclaim your freedom in the
era of Web 2.0.

Hi All,
I am trying to cross compile GTK+ in hawkboard (www.hawkboard.org). I have already cross compiled the following successfully for hawkboard:
atk fontconfig freetype glib libxml2 pixman
Now when I try to cross compile cairo, configure gives the following error:
configure: error: Cairo requires at least one font backend.
Please install freetype and fontconfig, then try again:
But, I have already …
[View More]installed both freetype and fontconfig for this architecture.
ls -l /opt/asdlab/freetype/lib
total 2640
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2688158 2010-09-03 20:08 libfreetype.a

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-09-04 19:28 pkgconfig
Any ideas why cairo is not cross compiling?
Thanks & Regards,

Is it time to move to a Bulletin Board system? Now, don't argue the pros
and cons to death, please.

Hello,
Many of the users who rant of others top posting have been guilty of
worse discourtesies in the past. I remember one of the so-called
'senior' users has called someone a moron. That same user has
appointed himself a custodian of netiquette.
I suspect that this ranting about top-posting is merely a pretext to
keep their name appearing on the list i.e to boost their egos.

I saw this mentioned on DistroWatch and downloaded the iso. I was
pleasantly surprised when it loaded (a live cd) on a 486/66 with 32 MB
RAM . Unfortunately it did not recognize the serial mouse on com2. I
sent a message to the author <dr_ashim(a)hotmail.com> with no response.
Without the mouse I could not navigate very well but it seems to be a
nice distro that can run even on such ancient systems .
It would be nice if some talented person takes this under their wing and
help …
[View More]recycle those ancients.
Regards
hg.
PS: how can I (computer illiterate) get this to recognize serial mouse
(& comm ports). Feather Linux, very similar to this is also an orphan it
seems.
