[X-Post] Reminder - SciPy India 2010 Last 2 Days for Talk Abstracts
by Anoop Jacob Thomas 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

========================================== SciPy 2010 Call for Papers & Participation ========================================== The second SciPy India Conference (scipy.in) will be held from December 13th to 18th, 2010 at IIIT-Hyderabad (http://www.iiit.ac.in/). Scipy.in is a conference providing opportunities to spread the use of the Python programming language in the Scientific Computing community in India. It provides a unique opportunity to interact with the "Who's who" of the Python for Scientific Computing fraternity and learn, understand, participate and contribute what is happening in the realms of Scientific Computing using Python. Attendees of the conference and participants of the sprints planned will be able to access and review the tools available, apart from learning domain-specific applications and how the tools apply to a plethora of application problems. One of the goals of the conference is to combine education, engineering and science with computing through the medium of Python and thereby extrapolate on how powerful Scientific Computing is in various fields and among different communities. At this conference, novel applications and breakthroughs made in the pursuit of science using Python are presented. Attended by leading figures from both academia and industry, it is an excellent opportunity to experience the cutting edge of scientific software development. The conference is followed by three days of tutorials and code sprints, during which community experts provide training on several scientific Python packages. We invite you to take part by submitting a talk abstract or register as a participant on the conference website at: http://scipy.in Talk/Paper Submission ===================== We solicit talks and accompanying papers (either formal academic or magazine-style articles) that discuss topics regarding scientific computing using Python, including applications, teaching, development and research.

Organizers ========== * Jarrod Millman, Neuroscience Institute, UC Berkeley, USA (Conference Co-Chair) * Prabhu Ramachandran, Department of Aerospace Engineering, IIT Bombay, India (Conference Co-Chair) * FOSSEE Team * EnhanceEdu Team About Python ============ Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented, open source, extensible programming language. It combines clarity and readability, making it an extremely powerful language that can be used for various applications and problems. Python is simple and easy to learn and apply. It offers an interactive environment in which to explore procedural, functional and object oriented approaches to problem solving. Its high level data structures, extensive documentation and clear syntax make it an ideal first language, while the large number of existing libraries make it suitable to tackle almost any programming tasks. Its simplicity makes it easy to adapt to multiple educational domains. Python has several libraries that enable numeric and symbolic computing. It also interfaces well with native codes in C,C++ and FORTRAN and has excellent libraries for plotting/visualization. Python also provides libraries for general purpose computing including generating user interfaces and web development. These, coupled with it's interactive interpreter, make Python an excellent language for Scientific Computing. All these features when combined with their wide-ranging applications make Python a perfect fit for use in Education, Industry and Scientific Computing. Registration Fees =============== Registration, accommodation and food are offered at highly subsidized rates for teachers and students, while registration and food will be offered to all conference participants at subsidized rates. Details about the fees can be found at: http://scipy.in/scipyin/2010/about/fees/ Publicity ======== The posters can be downloaded from the website : http://scipy.in/scipyin/2010/publicity/ Contact ======= Feel free to email the organizers at info(a)scipy.in -- Anoop Jacob Thomas FOSSEE, IIT Bombay.

The defense industry hardly uses LINUX. Its Micro$oft all the way. They complain about the unavailable support for Linux. I'm working in a defence organization, all networks are windows including the servers. Sanket Shah Sent via Android™ Spica

Hi All, We need a mobile based photo tagging application developed. Here is a description of the requirements The features of our app would be that: a) it will auto turn on the gps of the mobile phone when the mobile is turned ON and make it TSR and, whenever a photo is clicked, it will : b) Insert the gps lat / long data in the photos exif data c) automatically insert Artist's name into EXIF data which in this instance will be the mobile's phone number. d) calcuate gps date & time in UTC/GMT and insert into image's EXIF data e) seek input for ImageDecription ( which will be text of arbitary length ) and then insert into image's EXIF data f) seek input for audio file input i.e. a voice recording and then insert cross tag into image's EXIF file, if and when created. ( This feature can be implemented in version 2 if it proves to be too time / resource consuming ) This app needs to be developed for 1) S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2 Symbian OS v9.3 2) iPhone 3) Android in the above order i.e. symbian first. Please contact me off the list with a proposal if you are able to develop this for us. Regards, Koustubha Kale Anant Corporation Contact Details : Address : 103, Armaan Residency, R.

Fwd: Meet The Movement: A public talk with Wikipedia founder, Jimmy Wales, and members of Wikimedia India
by Koustubha Kale 28 Oct '10

28 Oct '10

Please do come - and circulate widely. Wikipedia is a vital, free resource used by millions of people all over the world, including in India. This ubiquitous information repository includes hundreds of thousands of articles in various Indian languages, covering myriad of topics about India and its culture. Although Wikipedia is an indispensable resource to millions, little is known about how this online encyclopedia is written and who it is written by. This Sunday, October 31 at 6:30pm, anyone who is interested in learning more about this global public resource is invited to “Meet the Movement:” a talk with Jimmy Wales and members of the Wikimedia community in India. This talk is an opportunity to learn more about how Wikipedia works and why participation from the people of India is integral to Wikimedia’s global free-knowledge movement. The iconic leader, who founded Wikipedia in 2001, will give a public talk about the history of Wikipedia and what the free knowledge movement means to India. For instance, 75 percent of all schools in India have either online or offline access to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, a sister project. Additionally, 94 percent of page views from India are for the English Wikipedia, rather than Indian languages. What does that mean about the importance of Wikipedia in India and the needs of Indian users? Wales will discuss this during his talk and members of Wikimedia India, as well as Wikimedia Foundation Board member, Bishakha Datta, will join Wales for a 30 minute open question and answer session with the audience. Date: Sunday October 31 Time: 6.30 pm Venue: Sophia Bhabha Hall, Sophia College campus, Bhulabhai Desai Road, Breach Candy, Mumbai 400026 This talk is open to the public on a first-come-first-seated basis.
