Fwd: LUG Meeting June 2008
by Anurag 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

Many thanks to Sameep for compiling the minutes of meeting. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sameep <sameepk(a)yahoo.com> Date: 2008/6/25 Subject: LUG Meeting June 2008 To: gnurag(a)gmail.com For those of you who missed it , the meeting commenced at CAMP by around 2 Initially Easwar gave a presentation advocating GNU Linux to newbies. His target audience were newbies presently using Windows. He had two presentations. One highlighting the benefits of GNU Linux over windows and the other one demonstrating the installation procedure. He used Ubunutu for all his illustrations. Easwar plans to hold a Ubuntu Install fest at his college. He plans to give a presentation about Linux and also offer to install Ubuntu for anyone whose interested. Anyone wanting to help him in this can contact him directly. Easwar's presentation was discussed and it received inputs from everyone. Arun and Vikram had prior experience in advocating Open Source Software to people so they shared some of their experiences with everyone. Next everyone was introduced to Ms. Chanditta. She works for an organization that regularly holds workshops training people in Open Source Software. She is basically from the Media Industry and plans to open an institute in which she plans to incorporate Open Source Software. Although she is going to post her plans on the Mailing List shortly, she is currently looking for volunteers. She requires people who might be interested in teaching or helping out in her workshops. They hold workshops providing guidance about OSS to teachers , both from educational institutions as well as NGOs. Arun then spoke about his recent experience in converting a customer to OSS and the resistance he faced while doing that. He finally managed to convince the customer after a Live Demo. Different methods of spreading Linux were then discussed by everyone. Vikram spoke about his projects in wireless technology. He has also recently launched an initiative called PPP. This initiative hopes to build a legal framework for protection of personal privacy. Presently India does not have any such framework ; this was evident in the Aarushi Talwar case. Krishnakant then spoke about his experiences in converting people to Linux. He also spoke about the presentations he gave and the questions he was asked regarding Linux. He discussed certain projects he was involved in. He also shared a great story about the Open Source Community. He described how a Firefox add-on was created within 36 hours based on his request to the community. He is going to blog about this experience in detail shortly. -- -- Anurag <0xB20A82C1> http://web.gnuer.org/blog/

TALLY runs on LINUX I believe. But even the server and the clients (in a client-server version) --- all should run on LINUX. Best Regards, Erach

Visit to Mumbai
by Sudhir Gandotra 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

Dear Friends at Mumbai LUG, I will be in Mumbai from 28th June morning till 2nd July noon. I was wondering if there is any meeting of the LUG during this time so that I can participate there. If not, and if there is any informal meeting happening or if some of us can meet somewhere (except for sunday 29th, when I have meetings from morning till 7 pm), it would be great. This is just to explore an opportunity to meet and may be to discuss some useful ideas for the future actions. I will be reachable through email and my cell phones. --- With best wishes for Unity in thinking, feeling and action.

Sound problems with Hardy
by Mohan Nayaka 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

After upgrade to Hardy, one of the problems I have seen is that you cannot play a youtube video and a mp3 in parallel. Not only that, even *after* the youtube video finishes, vlc will give you no audio until you close the FF tab with the video. There is a suggestion at http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2008/04/29/hardy-heron-sound-problems/ . I will try it out later today. There is also a bugreport : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/202878 I am posting this to see if anyone else is seeing this too. <rant> I am considering a upgrade to gutsy. </rant> Regards, Mohan S N -- Perilous to all of us are the devices of an art deeper than we ourselves possess. -- Gandalf the Grey [J.R.R.
