JSP problem with Firefox
by Rony 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

Hello All, I was filling out the online passport registration form and had problems with the date field. After the focus was moved to any other field, the last digit of the date would get cut. You can try it out on the link below. https://passport.gov.in/pms/OnlineRegistration.jsp Even reducing the date from 4 to 2 characters show the same result. Even in windows the same problem existed in firefox. The only way it worked was in IE7. (It may be working in IE6 too but I don't have it). Is there a work around for this? I am planning to write to the Delhi office that may be in charge of the website. You could write too. -- Regards, Rony.

Hello All, I was reading a BBC report on the search engine www.ask.com and decided to try it.

GSoC/KDE-2007 and our lug member
by Pradeepto Bhattacharya 16 Apr '07

16 Apr '07

Hi, I am sure most of us know about the annual event Google Summer Of Code. Like past years The KDE Project participated this year even. Actually I had posted about the event when it was kicked off this year. Anyways, results were declared sometime back and KDE got some 40[1] [2] slots from Google. But for me the bigger and happier news is that a lot of Indians participated this year and quite a few them submitted good proposals. There were 216 eligible proposals in all that were submitted to The KDE Project. And the news that is even more happier and bigger is that one of the chosen candidates is from our ``Amchi Mumbai" even - Sharan Rao. Some of us surely must have seen him / met him at LUG meets or otherwise. Sharan has been an occasional contributor to K3B since last year. Sharan's proposal about Umbrello was happily selected by mentors - I say this because I was present at the meeting and I noticed how proposals were judged strictly by core KDE devs. I think, I have mentioned before how being a ``actual" contributor helps in such cases because they already have seen your code. And more importantly, a good proposal does it job really well. Sharan's proposal was really good, more importantly something he thought all by himself and was completely out of the box and mentors didnot even put forth that in the stock ideas. All he did was found a cool application and found what it was lacking and made a good proposal around it. To be fair to other candidates, I must admit most of the 40 accepted proposals were just like that of Sharan. And all such proposals just passed with flying colours even if there was a discussion/debate on pros and cons of the proposals. If there were only disputes, it was due to certain conflicting proposals or duplicate proposals for the same idea, in which case the most suitable candidate was selected which ofcourse was measured by a scale called as - "who show most enthusiasm and maybe has submitted most patches or proposal was very very strong". It was taken care that proposal was worth atleast 30+ hours per week of work and was even informed to student if he had other ideas. Anything less and the candidate was questioned. I was sort of happy and pleasantly surprised watching mentors calling a spade a spade or some such metaphor. And since I have spoken to personally ( or heard about ) quite a few candidates this year, the common thing was their enthusiasm and willingness - be it Mike Authur, Marcus Hanwell or Sharan or anybody else. Anirudh Ramesh (based in Singapore) and Piyush Verma (Delhi based) are the other Indians in the list. Good luck to you both. Do well. Also heartiest congratulaltions to other members of the list who have been selected as well for other projects. Good wishes to all of you. Sharan, dude you rock! Congratulations and loads of good wishes. And one guy whom I really need to thank is our beloved admin - Anurag - who was instrumental in helping me get introduced to ( and meet ) Sharan ( - my favourite twit, is what I like to call him ) sometime Feb '06 or so. He has done really well for himself and learnt a lot without any other expectations and more importantly has contributed some lines of code to Free Software and I am sure he will do much much more.

Wireless free information system successfully setup.
by Rony 15 Apr '07

15 Apr '07

Hello All, On Saturday 14th April 2007 we successfully setup the wireless mesh running the free information server. This time the OLSR protocol was also loaded into 2 laptops that acted as additional nodes. The server machine with Apache2 was loaded with CD and DVD isos in the /var/www/ folder and we could visit the machine through the mesh and access the web page with all the isos. So finally we were having tea in the canteen and downloading Linux isos on our laptops. The linux laptop got a speed of 1.2 Mbps to 800 Kbps and the windows laptop got abot 500 Kbps. We can work on the speed part. What a nice day to start the free information network. It was the 'Jayanti' of Dr. Ambedkar who wanted to empower the people with freedom and knowledge. The full setup is available at http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/WirelessMesh - Regards, Rony.

Old distros cds! Interested?
by Pradeepto Bhattacharya 15 Apr '07

15 Apr '07

Hey, I have a few old Kubuntu CDs and few new ones even lying around. Where old = 5.10 and new = 6.10. I have some ed/ubuntu - 6.10 as well. Now if anybody is interested please ping me offlist, we can arrange a meeting or meet during a lug meet or some such and I can give you the cds then. And before somebody says - ohhhh those are old, why would I need those? Umm, you think. maybe old hardware or whatever. I am sure there might be some use other than distributing those to autorickshaw drivers in Panvel. Btw, those 5.10 Kubuntu CDs, were sent directly by Jonathan Riddell because those days there was no shipit for kubuntu or whatever. Cheers!

Wireless Mesh - Progress and success
by Roshan 15 Apr '07

15 Apr '07

Hello All, Mr. Rony will post details of today's session along with other links. The document for Wireless Mesh has been updated and is available at http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/WirelessMesh There are plans for the next week too, but they aren't confirmed. However, if we (GLUG-BOM members) do plan to meet up, I'll request you to come up with resources (GNU/Linux, Free documents etc.) that can be shared across the mesh network and accessible to those who want them. (atleast indirectly). We had two mesh clients (if that is the correct terminology, technically) as Sabayon Linux on one laptop and Microsoft Windows XP on another and tried downloading distros (600 MB and above) with speeds ranging from 300 KiloBytes / second - 700 KB / second. (Statistics from Mozilla Firefox, with its default download manager). -- S K Somaiya College of ASC - http://www.somaiya.edu/sksasc FSF of India Associate Fellow - http://www.gnu.org.in Send a FREE SMS to your friend's mobile from Yahoo!
