Good Linux/FOSS Books For Migrated Schools
by Milind Oka 01 Jun '18

01 Jun '18

Hi, As you already know, ILUG-BOM have migrated two schools in Mumbai to Linux/Open Source. There is a query from these schools for a list of appropriate computer books for coming academic year. There is an excellent project - Computer Masti by, IIT Mumbai, where Open Source Computer Books are being created and released under 'creative commons'. Intially copyrights belonged to InOpen technologies, now they are taken over by Next.Education. https://www.computermasti.in/ I really appreciate IIT-B and FOSSEE teams for their commendable projects. It seems that the project now is maintained nicely by Next.Education without violating the Open Source Policy. I suppose that they do not depend upon government funds now to grow. These books will definitely be a great help to all the schools migrated to open source. So I think we can surely recommend these books to all schools. But this solves the problem of most of the CBSE/ICSE schools who generally do not have budget restrictions. On the other hand, students of many state board schools come from weaker sections of the society. They cannot even spend 250 Rs for a book. Our two schools also come in these category. ( They are aided, but IT section is unaided, so even salary of teachers is paid by school management). While talking to ILUG team, Fr Jude of St Mary school said "We cannot charge more than 500 Rs for computer fees, then how to pay licences of commercial softwares ?" So lack of funds is the prime reason for them to migrate. They are expecting from us something like a small booklet costing around 50-75 Rs for each std so that students can afford it. Kindly give your suggestions. TIA Milind

[OT] Spam Tabs in Browser
by Rony Bill 25 May '18

25 May '18

Hello Friends, Off late I have observed that when visiting some websites (Clean ones), especially where a form is to be filled, a spam advts tab opens in the browser. It happens in Android as well as Ubuntu in Firefox. In my Ubuntu laptop, I was on a sports shopping site and just when I clicked on Buy Now, it opened a spam page, even playing an advt video. What is this new phenomenon happening? Regards, Rony.

Hi, As Richard says, the problem is probably due to MTNL's irritating habit of injecting Ads. I have never seen them do a full page one - i.e. usually I saw small popups - but I have had the URLs blocked for a couple of years now, so I suppose they have "progressed". Regarding Rony's question "Is there any setting in my router that can reduce this?". Yes. You need to block some URLs/IPs on your router. My list is as follows: 203.94.227.141:3000 203.94.227.141:80 203.94.227.140:80 203.94.243.40:80 adphonso.com:80 phozeca.com:80 Where the setting will be depends on your router - on my D-Link it's "Advanced Setup" => "URL Filter" -- Chirag Wazir http://chirag.freeshell.org

by Milind Oka 14 Jan '18

14 Jan '18

Dear all, From new year, Loksatta, one of the leading newspapers in marathi, (Express Group) has started a weekly series of articles on Open Source Movement. The articles will be published on every Monday. The writer is Mr Amrutaunshu Nerurkar. This series is really going to help in creating awareness about FOSS among ordinary people. First two articles have already been published and I found them quite impressive. On behalf of ILUG, I thanked the author for his efforts and invited him to our group and meetings. Giving his response below. ----- ---- नमस्कार. तुमच्या ईमेल बद्दल खूप आभार. तुम्ही माझा लेख वाचलात आणि तो तुम्हाला आवडला हे ऐकून फार आनंद झाला. पुढील लेखांमधूनही मी तुमच्या अपेक्षांना खरा उतरेन अशी आशा बाळगतो. या लेखमालेला जास्तीत जास्त वाचक वर्ग मिळवून देण्याच्या आपल्या प्रयत्नांसाठी मी आपला मनापासून आभारी आहे. तुमचं निरीक्षण अगदी बरोबर आहे. आपल्याकडे शासकीय आणि शैक्षणिक स्तरावर ओपन सोर्स सॉफ्टवेअरच्या संशोधन अथवा वापराबद्दल खूप अनास्था आहे. तुमच्या मुंबई लिनक्स ग्रुपचे या बाबतीतले प्रयत्न अत्यंत कौतुकास्पद आणि अभिनंदनीय आहेत. तुमच्या एखाद्या मासिक बैठकीला उपस्थित राहण्याचा मी निश्चित प्रयत्न करेन. पहिल्याच लेखात म्हटल्याप्रमाणे मी स्वतःला या विषयातला तज्ज्ञ समजत नाही. मी फक्त या विषयाचा अभ्यासक आहे. त्यामुळे मी तुम्हाला किती मार्गदर्शन करू शकेन मला माहित नाही पण मला स्वतःला काही नवीन नक्कीच शिकता येईल. असो. या लेखमालिकेला पूरक असा ब्लॉग लिहिणे मी चालू केले आहे. जस जसे माझे लेख लोकसत्तामध्ये प्रकाशित होत जातील त्यांची एक प्रत मी या ब्लॉग वर सुद्धा (लोकसत्ता इ-पेपर च्या माध्यमातून) प्रसिद्ध करेन. यामुळे कोणास मागील लेख वाचायचे असतील तर एकाच ठिकाणी त्यांच्या सर्व लिंक्स उपलब्ध होतील. तसेच मी या ब्लॉगवर वेळोवेळी काही पूरक दस्तावेज किंवा लिंक्स प्रसिद्ध करेन ज्या माझ्या लेखांशी निगडित असतील पण शब्दमर्यादेमुळे वर्तमानपत्रातील लेखांमध्ये समाविष्ट होऊ शकल्या नसतील. https://mahajalache-muktayan.blogspot.in/ या संकेतस्थळावर हा ब्लॉग उपलब्ध आहे जो तुम्ही follow करू शकता. तसेच आपल्या ग्रुप मधील सर्व कार्यकर्त्यांना व परिचितांना सुद्धा जर ही लिंक पाठवलीत तर आपला ऋणी राहीन. धन्यवाद. अमृतांशू नेरुरकर
