[COMMERCIAL] OSI Tech Days 2009: Showcase your expertise (AND, that of your firm)
by Atanu Datta 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Hi all! This is further to our 'Call for Papers' for Open Source India Tech Days 2009, which is to be held at Chennai Trade Center (Chennai) from 12th to 14th March 2009. Thanks to your encouraging response, we have managed to finalise a few speakers, and draw up the plans for daily seminars. However, we have received many submissions that do not match the goals of various seminars. Thus, we plan to share the exact topics that have been finalised for each seminar (one-by-one). We hope that this effort will result in a better match between the talks and the speaker submissions. Needless to say, this can be a great opportunity for FOSS firms (and consultants) to show-case their talent to an all-India audience. So, if you or your firm has expertise in any of the topics (mentioned below), please feel free to register yourself, or nominate someone else at www.osidays.com. Looking forward to your support in building an Open Source event that we all can be proud of.

We would like to get their perspectives on the demand for open source professionals in India. #2) Panel discussion: Linux Distros WE SEEK: Experts / community representatives for Fedora, Ubuntu, Mandriva, OpenSuSE, and Debian.

allowing restricted sites via squid
by sameer shinde 14 Feb '09

14 Feb '09

Hi All, We are using squid along with squidguard to block the websites. Now due to company policy we've blocked all the email sites with squidguard blacklist, wherein we've also blocked gmail.google.com Now, our company has purchesed domain name specific mail address from google. for example mail.ourdomain.com, wherein if anyone types mail.ourdomain.com it will be redirected to ourdoman specific gmail. The problem here is as squidguard is blocking gmail.google.com and which is inturn backbehind mail.ourdomain.com, the users are not able to access that site. What we want to do now is, we still want to block gmail access, but if someone goes thru mail.ourdomain.com, then he should get the access to gmail. How can we achieve this? Few more bits about our squid. It is configured in non-transperant mode. i.e. we mannually provide the proxy to users. Also its in non-authentication mode. i.e. it does not checks for username/password. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sameer Shinde.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] [OT] Invitation to connect on LinkedIn

Hi there, > Have you created an account on Linkedin without having to reveal the > original password for the email id that is used as the username as well > as prevent them from snooping into your contacts list? If so, your tips > could help others from making mistakes like using their original email > password. > Huh ? Guys what the hell are you talking about ? Of course, you can do that ! All the sites that i've ever been too which allow you to import contact information have that as a 'optional' step. You don't *have* to reveal the original password for any email id. Agreed, the way the login workflow proceeds and is presented makes you think that it is an required step, but it isn't ! Try any of the social networking sites (including linkedin). You always have an option to /not/ automatically import your contacts. > However from the link provided by the OP, I was taken to a login page > asking me for an email id as username and a password. I checked out the > join today link for new users and there they ask for an email id and > password. The privacy terms also state that among the information they > will collect will be the email id and a password. For some reason they > are not clear about the password, if it is the original or another one > for the linkedin site. That is a gray area. This is the exact statement ... "When you register an account to become a LinkedIn user (?User?), such as your name, e-mail, country, location, occupation and a password." ..../a/ password is a gray area ?? I would've felt if they wanted to make it grey they would have said "/the/ password". >> The interesting thing is that while there is an agreement (in LinkedIn >> privacy policy) not to sell his email id to a spammer, there is nothing >> that prevents LinkedIn from selling your id to the spammer. An >> interesting view that I had not considered till I got this email. FUD ! from their privacy policy: -------------------------------------- Contacts Information In order to invite others to connect with you directly in LinkedIn, you may use the LinkedIn services to invite them if they are a User, or enter their names and email addresses. This information will be used by LinkedIn to send your invitation including a message that you write. The names and email addresses of people that you invite will be used only to send your invitation and reminders. You may also choose to manually enter or upload data about your contacts into the private ?My contacts? section of the LinkedIn website. You may not invite anyone to connect with you whom you do not know. *****All information entered there will only be viewable by you and will not be searchable by others in the LinkedIn network without your permission. All information that you enter or upload about your contacts will be covered by the same terms of this privacy policy as cover your own information.***** -------------------------------------- > Guys who are well connected by phone, mobile and internet are a general > nuisance and a security hazard for the computer systems, especially > doze. They spend more time staying connected than doing any serious > work. I have seen such guys in different offices. hmm ...so, the implication is that the people on linkedin are a nuisance, ehe ? I guess, these guys fit the bill, right ? http://www.linkedin.com/in/linustorvalds http://www.linkedin.com/pub/1/a37/2a Ok, why am i getting so riled up about ? Well, unsubstantiated ranting and sweeping generalization is just as bad as ignorance. So, all you guys screaming at n00bs and saying stuff like ... >>> I hope your machine gets slammed >>> with some virus that destroys all data. And I really hope your >>> prospective professional employer sees this this post of mine and that >>> leaves you perennial unemployed. ...are just as annoying as the n00bs. You can choose to be civil about it, but you don't ! gah ! cheers, - steve

Kmail nuking mails
by Kenneth Gonsalves 13 Feb '09

13 Feb '09

Hi, I have a folder in kmail with some read messages and some unread messages. The last read message is blank. No subject, no sender, no date and no content. If this is deleted, the next mail also vanishes - no subject, sender, date and content. And if it is deleted same thing happens to the next one. But if I do not delete the 'no subject' mail, I can read the next mail and so on. All the other folders are ok. How would one go about debugging this? -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate NRC-FOSS http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/
