Language Technology Meetup with Wikimedia team
by Praveen A 10 Dec '10

10 Dec '10

Hi, Danese Cooper who is currently the CTO for Wikimedia, Erik Möller, Deputy Director of Wikimedia Foundation and Alolita Sharma, Engineering Programs Manager, Wikimedia Foundation is visiting Pune from Dec 12-14. They are keenly interested in exploring tools, techniques and approaches they might collaborate on in localizing large-scale content repositories. They can do some brief presentations about what Wikimedia is up to. Wikimedia is looking for contributors in Indian content, open source technologies and growing its community in India. They would like to meet local Indic localization community to talk about the amazing work that they’ve accomplished in Linux and open source localization. Wikipedia needs that kind of help since its community in India has some localization contributors but not enough. Date: : Tuesday, 14-December-2010 10:00 AM IST Venue:: Red Hat Office, Tower 10, Cyber City, Magarpatta City, Hadapsar For registration see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Pune/Pune4 Share this with others who might be interested. Thanks Praveen -- പ്രവീണ്‍ അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില്‍ 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.

Live CD
by RSCL Mumbai 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

Hi, Can someone recommend a Live CD distro meeting following specs: - Firefox 3+ built in - less than 150MB - 200MB (quick bootup) - works on Laptop / desktop. - Supports Wifi (optional) I tried a few distros but did not fit well. SUSE, Fedora -- both has everything I need, but I only have the DVD version which takes a long time to boot Slax -- details on website looked just perfect, but CD did not boot, just threw some messages {I do not recollect them} and stopped. Also tried Puppy Linux & DamnSmallLinux, but faced some issues with them too. I think one of them had an old / stripped down version of Firefox Thank you in advance. Best regards, Sans

Hey Guys/Members, I am not sure if this is the list I should be mailing but anyways, I have an idea for developing a technology product and I am currently in the process of building a prototype. I need seed funding for this product. Can anyone tell me where can I get contacts to angel investors / investors / VC funds, etc... Any help would really be appreciated. PS: I plan to make some parts of the product open-source once things start clicking but that is still a long shot. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks and Regards, Anish Mohile

running script only if USB is mounted
by Kshitiz 03 Dec '10

03 Dec '10

Hello friends I use rsync to copy my incremental data to an external harddisk every 5 minutes using cron. However, if the external harddisk, connected to the USB port is disconnected, the root partition fills up. I need your help to create a proper script that does the following: Before running the rsync copying script, I want to a) Add some statement that would check if the external harddisk is attached and mounted. b) If not, it should be mounted before the copying script is run to copy only to this external disk. c) If it is not mounted, mount should be attempted, and if it does not mount, rsync copying command should not be executed. Is there any better way to do this? Under no circumstances, I want the rsync script to execute if the USB connection is not active. Regards and thank you all in advance Kshitiz
