Hello All, We have started an effort, by means of website www.roadjams.info, to provide real-time traffic information to Mumbai. Would appreciate if people who are interested to contribute can contact me or mumbai<at> roadjams.info. The development requires people to have a GPS enabled phone, (external or internal GPS) and a small utility that sits on the phone and updates location to the server. The software on the mobile is available under GPL. Currently the software works very well on Nokia phones. Support for other phones is being developed and should be possible in near future. Thanks, Akshay

Microsoft Vs Open source on NREGA ICT infrastructure
by vinay sreenivasa 11 Sep '08

11 Sep '08

On the NREGA ICT infrastructure page - http://nrega.nic.in/ictinfrastructure.htm I found this --> http://nrega.nic.in/ict/ict3.asp check the columns titled - No. of Applications Running and it shows number of 'applications' running on Microsoft platforms and those running on 'open source' platforms. Not too sure what this means. Why would for e.g some state have 450 s/w applications ??and why would they be all different? Does anybody know what exactly this means? I'm guessing they mean number of machines running on MS or open source. Whatever it is, the fact that open source has a count of 0 in most states is something worth looking into.

Thunderbird 2 bug?
by Rony 11 Sep '08

11 Sep '08

Hello, There is Kubuntu 8.04 KDE4 on a PC and it has been upgraded to the latest apt packages. Thunderbird 2 was installed from apt packages. A gmail account was setup but it fails to authenticate the password and returns a normal wrong password error. After wasting a lot of time rechecking and suspecting the keyboard, I setup the account in Kmail and it worked fine. So there appears to be a bug in that Thunderbird package. I would also like to add that KDE4 does not allow editing of its menus and Kmail's icon which was missing from the 'Internet' sub-menu, could not be added manually. Some people on the net appear to have similar problems. Even creating a new application shortcut on the desktop as well as task bar is not possible with a right click as that option itself is missing. KDE4 is still a little 'nangu'. -- Regards, Rony.

G.I.S.S. comitee visiting India
by yves degoyon 07 Sep '08

07 Sep '08

hola/namaste, we are 2 members and developers of the G.I.S.S. collective ( http://giss.tv ), an international collective dedicated to free media through open-source technologies ( streaming ). G.I.S.S. is an open infrastructure for giving voice to alternative, minoritarian and non-commercial voices in the official media landscape. we ( lluis gomez i bigorda and me, yves degoyon ) have been developping open source technologies since many years now... and have been to brasil, palestina to make workshops before.. we will be in india from the 15th of September to the 15th of October. our original plan was to make a free media workshop in Dahanu near Mumbai with Nomad India ( http://nomadindia.net ), that i first met in brasil in the World Social Forum. yesterday, Hemant from nomad india sent us a notice that they won't be able to organize this workshop, as they are helping people victims of the flood in the region of Bihar ( Nepal ), as you must know... all the original plan is documented here: http://giss.tv/wiki/index.php/Workshop_India including the program of the workshop. so we are looking for other possibilities of meeting people working in open-source and free media. we could organize a short presentation, some workshop or even an informal meeting with people interested in these subjects. we have some funding from NL Net foundation to cover our travel and hosting expenses, so this is not a request for funding ). we could travel within this month across the country to Bangalore or New Delhi for example... so, let us know what would be possible to organize in these dates, knowing that we have to reorganize our activities in a short period of time, it can be some informal meetings ( in a hacklab for example, we like that ) ). hope all the situation will get back to normal in Nepal too.. ( we perfectly understand that Nomad had to cancel our workshop ) hope to meet some of you soon, we arrive in Mumbai on next Sunday 14th... all the best, yves degoyon, lluis gomez i bigorda and GISS team.
