Hi! Does anyone have the text version of hangman? I tried google but nothing substantial turned up. (Uh, there was a 1.2 Meg *collection* of games and some BSD sources that didn't compile). Any ideas folks? -- Tahir Hashmi (VSE, NCST) http://staff.ncst.ernet.in/tahir tahir AT ncst DOT ernet DOT in We, the rest of humanity, wish GNU luck and Godspeed

Our setup will be having one IDC server which will be on R.H linux qmail & 15 branch offices server will which be also on R.H qmail. I have one doubt on qmail mail delivery, suppose my bracnh server users are sending single mail to 10 users will that mail travels 10 times to my IDC server or it will travels as a one single mail to IDC my server ? We will using outgoing SMTP server for all branches as a IDC server. Rgds girish __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

As a non-privileged user i gave this command: $ setterm -powersave powerdown -powerdown 1 but the monitor doesn't turn off after 1 min. Also has anyone used a screensaver for character mode? P.S.

Enabling AGP support on my Intel 850 with nVidia VANTA
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 04 Sep '02

Attn programmers: support offered [FLOSS-Sarai Initiative]
by Frederick Noronha 04 Sep '02

04 Sep '02

Dear friends, Can we manage to get some money into backing Free/Libre Open Source Software initiatives, that would help young volunteers out there to support their cash-strapped initiatives? Sarai.net, a Delhi-based initiative under the CSDS (Centre for the Study of Developing Societies) has been solidly supportive of such an idea. Jeebesh Bagchi <jeebesh(a)sarai.net> sent in this offer recently. It could surely be of help particularly to college students and others wanting to make a break in Free Software/Open Source, but hamstrung by resources. It might help if projects are initially kept small and definitely workable, I guess. This is my own gut-level feeling, but maybe bigger initiatives which are clearly workable could also prove convincing. If such experiments prove useful, maybe there would be a good case for greater support to free software/open source developers in regions like ours. --FN ---------- Forwarded message ---------- The Sarai Programme, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, Delhi (www.sarai.net) invites applications for Support Grants to projects in the area of Free Software, Open Source Software and Social Usage of Software Sarai invites programmers (practictioners as well as students) to propose projects in the area of free and open source software applications relevant to educational, social and community needs. We are looking for original ideas, as well as proposals to localize and adapt existing software and applications to South Asian conditions, For example - Desktops in Hindi, Open Office and Gimp in Hindi. Lighter versions of desktops like KDE, Innovations that creatively optimises older lower configuration machines, Linux documentation in Hindi, games using local context, etc. What is Sarai Sarai is a public initiative of media practitioners and scholars looking at media cultures and urban life. Sarai's interests are in the field of old and new media, information and communication technologies, free software, cinema, and urban space - its politics, built form, ecology, culture and history, with a strong commitment to making knowledge available in the public domain. It is a programme of the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, Delhi. For more information visit www.sarai.net. Sarai is committed to promoting the free software and open source vision. Conditions: Applicants should be resident in India, and should have a bank account in any bank operating in India. These are support grants and grantees will be free to pursue their primary occupations, if any. Mail your project proposal, workplan and CV to both the following addresses: <application(a)sarai.net> with a copy to <fred(a)bytesforall.org>. Please mark your subjectline 'FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software) Initiative'. Also point out what you see as the relevance of your work, and how you plan to share the resultant software once finalised. Enquires: dak(a)sarai.net Last date for submission: October 15th, 2002. Note: Proposals from teams, partnerships, collectives, faculty are welcome, so long as the grant amount is administered by a single individual, and the funds are deposited in a single bank account in the name of an individual. -------------------------------------------------------

Open Source + Government
by Frederick Noronha 01 Sep '02

01 Sep '02

Thanks to Sunil Abraham of Bangalore for posting this across to the BytesForAll mailing list. FN ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Dear B4A Readers, Venezuela's Government Shifts to Open Source Software: The announcement, made on Wednesday, stated that from now on, all software developed for the government must be licenced under the GPL. The entire policy was summed up in this statement by Dr. Felipe P�rez-Mart�, Planning and Development Minister: "Open source whenever possible, propietary software only when necesary." http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2002-08-30-011-26-NW-LL-PB Open-Source Government One thing most technology experts can agree on is that California's state government has squandered billions on ill-conceived information-technology (IT) projects in recent years. Whether it was the more than $100 million in taxpayer funds that state authorities admit were wasted on the state's automated child-support system or the more recent purchase of thousands of unneeded software licenses from Oracle, the sorry record is painfully clear. California desperately needs a more workable IT plan. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/gate/archive/2002/08/29/osg… Thanks, Sunil ===== Sunil Abraham [MAHITI] 314/1, 7th Cross, Domlur Bangalore - 560 071 Karnataka, INDIA Ph/Fax: +91 80 5352003.
