by Abhijit Navale 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

I have 10.10 cd iso image. I want to add ubuntu manual to this iso image such that, after burning this iso image to cd, in live cd mode and after installation that ubuntu manual should appear in the desktop. I am using acetoneISO. I wanted to know the location in iso image where to add the manual. -- Abhijit Navale.

gnome clock at top right corner
by Pratik Anand 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

I work with on Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome as Desktop Environment. I have all the toolbars on autohide mode as it gives me full space on the screen to work. This change , though, is more comfortable for me but is also causing some inconvenience. I often lose track of time spent. So, I want a way by which I could keep a widget or app like thing at top right corner of my screen (taking minimum space,hence time in DIGITAL format), which can show time. OR if I can integrate a digital clock on righmost side of the active window. Any idea on how this can be achieved? I am looking for simple linux hacks or some config changes to do so. Otherwise will have to do so in java , Qt etc. Please pour in your ideas... -- Pratik Anand B.Tech - CSE (3rd year) http://www.pratikanand.com Twitter: twitter.com/pratikone Facebook:facebook.com/pratikone Blog:pratik3d.blogspot.com

e-governance policy of Govt. of Maharashtra
by Koustubh Sinkar 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

Govt of Maharashtra has placed the draft eGovernance Policy on their website ( http://maharashtra.gov.in/ ) for citizens' comments. I think one should take this opportunity to log the expectations from such policy as citizens. Besides general comments, as FOSS users, we should also insist on inter-operability of the Govt platforms (if not use of FOSS for building such platforms). We should make a joint representation to the govt. on behalf of bombay-lug?? That will be a better way of impacting the decision making process. We could have an open-source lobby, which would stress for open standards. Koustubh कौस्तुभ सिनकर

Microsoft Monopoly
by Abhijit Navale 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

This is an email I am circulatting from lugc mailist list: Hello all, When I looked to buy a branded laptop, I felt much bad that I can customize a laptop *BUT* I MUST select a M$ operating system. And this really is like forcing us to pay money even if we do not want to buy it. Is there any talks before this post or is there a way to buy a branded laptop (like HP, DELL or a sony vaio). If there is no way, why are we not even trying to make a way? and also see http://www.mca.gov.in/Ministry/mrtpc.html In a depressed mood -- Mohi ======================================================== Thats just two lines are not enough. i think we should have a strong oposition. what i am suggesting is. Lets form a open source forum for business. If there is already then get their help, or create new. and have a strong platrform which will look for health of open source business and which will be face of 'busienss' of foss in India. When i go to our nearest mall and i asked sales person that i wll pay half price in advance but get me without os laptop they just simply declined. They want me to buy ms only laptop. Please have a look at *Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices* (MRTPC) http://www.mca.gov.in/Ministry/mrtpc.html *Competition Commission of India* http://www.cci.gov.in/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=18 We should demand healthy competition in computer industry in india through our forum. Let me know if we can seriosly do something about this. Your suggestions are welcome. -- Abhijit Navale.
