FOSS in Indian Schools - A Serious Concern & a Request to Unite.
by Narendra Sisodiya 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

Dear FOSS Enthusiasts and Activists. I am writing this letter to all for a request to create a task force to advocate FOSS in schools. If we fail to advocate Linux in schools then we will be failed everywhere. Most of the computer users like me are using computer from Last 5-6 year or less. They learned everything in college only. Also at our time computer was a costly device. We have not faced much difficult in migrating from Windows to Linux. Now we love Linux based distro and advocate for open curriculum, content , no-patents, no-DRM etc. But today scenario has changed. Computer are available in every * Mohalla* and Village. many of them are not having Internet connectivity. they are just using some pirated software. This is not a small population. This is a very huge population. This huge population of school students is also including student who do not have money to buy computer but they are learning using cybercafe and coaching classes. If you do not tell them to use FOSS and Linux based Distro, they will continue using pirated window software for next 10-15 year of their life until they got lucky to enter into a college where Local LUG is active and he got change to explore GSoC and other activities OR course curriculum include FOSS. *After 7 year, if you wish to give a lecture for advocating FOSS/Linux in a college then Do you think you can convince them to use FOSS/Linux and stop using the proprietary products which he is using from last 10 years? * During a workshop of Kids at NCERT, a 5th class kids refused to work on Kturtle because he was using LOGO software from last 1 year. Those who do not know LOGO created very beautiful diagrams with Kturtle. You can only reach engineering students at College level Linux/FOSS promotion and activities. But these student who are going to use proprietary product for they whole school life will go in various domain like art, music, law etc. you can never convince them after their mind-wash. I learned to do advocacy from two side attack. System is like pyramid. Bottom side contains huge student. and tip is controlled by those who run Education system. at top level we need to look for syllabus change and other activities. At bottom side we need to advocate FOSS and Linux principle in schools. Imagine the power of community and collaboration value inside this huge community. This student community need out love, care and guidance. We can together create a task force and think for various strategies to introduce FOSS in schools. If you empower this student community then they can crate whole curriculum and e-learning videos of their syllabus by themselves. == Duty of Task Force == * Creating mailing list or all FOSS + Edu persons * Bring all FOSS+Edu on mailing list Or paper newsletter * Creating Workshop for discussion. * supporting the development of SchoolOS * empower technical level of student and teacher * Creating article for FOSS advocacy * Creating template letters for creating workshop in schools * getting help from NCERT and other institutes. * Creating booklets/Books - Classwise * Creating Portals for students and teacher * Creating teacher and student community Please Join - SchoolOS mailing list - http://groups.google.com/group/schoolos and wiki.schoolos.org -- ┌─────────────────────────┐ │ Narendra Sisodiya │ http://narendrasisodiya.com └─────────────────────────┘

Google Tech Talk: The Power of Collaborative Innovation
by Venkatesh Hariharan 19 Oct '10

19 Oct '10

I recently gave a talk at Google's Bangalore office titled, "The Power of Collaborative Innovation." This 60 minute talk is now archived at: http://www.youtube.com/user/GoogleTechTalks#p/u/24/Wye5rh9roh0 The abstract of the talk is given below for your reference. Venky Abstract of the talk ==================== The power of collaborative innovation. The Internet and the growth of the open source movement have lead to a fundamental change in the way knowledge is created and distributed. Older generation networks are either one-to-one networks (phones, faxes etc) or one-to-many networks (TV, Radio etc), while the Internet is a many-to-many network. As we move to an interconnected world, the balance of power is shifting from old, proprietary models of knowledge creation to the open source model that emphasizes collaboration, community and the shared ownership of knowledge. From management gurus to consulting firms to leading business schools, everyone is taking note of this new phenomenon that goes by various names like ‘Collaborative Innovation,’ ‘Open Innovation,’ or ‘Distributed Co-creation.’ This session will examine the impact of these trends on our collective future and how they can be harnessed for social and economic development. In particular, we will take a closer look at the growing global knowledge commons and its impact on current issues like open standards and software patents. About the speaker ================= Venkatesh Hariharan is Corporate Affairs Director (Asia-Pacific) for Red Hat. In this role, he works with industry, academia, government and the open source community to accelerate the growth of the global open source movement. In 2006, he was awarded the "Indian Open Source Personality of the Year" by the organizers of Linux Asia 2006. Hariharan is a former Executive Editor of Express Computer and the first Indian to be selected for the prestigious Knight Science Journalism Fellowship (1998-99) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. As a Knight Fellow, Hariharan spent a year looking at cutting edge technologies that can be deployed for bridging the digital divide. During his stint at Express Computer, he imparted a dynamic news orientation to the magazine. He has interviewed some of the leading figures in the world of technology including Microsoft's Bill Gates, John Gage of Sun Microsystems, Stan Shih of the Acer Group and many others. He has written for leading Indian and international publications including MIT Technology Review, Upside, Slashdot, Economic Times, Times of India and many others. After his stint at MIT, Hariharan co-founded of IndLinux.org, one of the leading localization groups in the India subcontinent. IndLinux.org has localized the GNOME and KDE interface of Linux to Hindi. The organization has helped localization groups in India, Bhutan, Nepal and other countries localize Linux and other open source software to their native languages. He has delivered talks on open source at leading academic institutions across the country, including IIT Bombay, IIT Guwahati, IIIT-Bangalore and many others. Hariharan believes that open source and free software are powerful tools to empower emerging economies with the benefits of information technology. He has advocated the adoption of open source and open standards in emerging economies for political, cultural and economic reasons through his writing and his speeches. He is currently setting up the Open Source Foundation of India. His long term interest is in the area of technology and public policy. He maintains a blog on open source and open standards at www.osindia.blogspot.com. Hariharan is a member of the Bureau of Indian Standards committee for data management, which recently reviewed and voted against OOXML. -0-

Ubuntu 10.10 user experience with broadband datacards
by Nishit Dave 11 Oct '10

11 Oct '10

Hello List, I have downloaded the Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop and alternate install ISO images last night. I'm posting this from a bootable USB pendrive installation (with persistence) of Maverick while on the road. I have two broadband datacards - Huawei EC1262 from Reliance Netconnect and ZTE AC2766 from MTS MBlaze. Both have started working 'out-of-the-box' through network manager. Earlier (10.04 Lucid), I had to run through a lot of trial-and-error, even after compiling and installing the latest usb_modeswitch version, in order to connect to the internet. I have earlier posted about only the ZTE AC2766 working with network manager, while the Huawei EC1262 only worked with wvdial, and that too, after frequent attempts. Now, all I have to do is plug the card in the USB slot, (wait for a few seconds to see the appropriate LED start flashing), and then launch network manager on the Gnome panel, as usb_modeswitch is included by default. What is more, without having to wait for the appropriate connection option to appear, I have to just 'Add' a connection to the 'Mobile Broadband' tab under the 'Edit connections' option. The resulting dialog droid does not show you your modem brand / model initially, but you have to just click 'Next' and select India from the list of countries. Thereafter, you are presented with a list of service providers using your specific brand and model of modem. Next step, just enter the default username and password supplied by your provider, and you're ready to go. You sometimes also get a confirmation of your provider and model on the Finish page of the dialog. In terms of operating experience, the MTS connection drops off suddenly and in a short time, while the Reliance one has been steady for a while now. I must also mention that I downloaded the ISO torrents on my Reliance connection with an average download speed better 180 kpbs. My first impression of Maverick is that the performance seems snappier. The System>Appearance dialog now has the Visual Effects tab included by default, so you can go and choose your compiz effects level immediately. That is all I have time for right now, and obviously many of the early adopters among you will have something to add by way of comments.

Touch Screen Driver Issue [question]
by Paul Schwarz 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

Hi Group, I pose the following dilemma and look forward to enthusiastic discussions. As mentioned in a previous e-mail to you'll, we have developed an embedded PC with a touch screen. This device runs on a RMI, Alchemy processor (AU1250) and its touch screen is connected to this CPU via an ADS7843 chip and through the SPI bus. So far so good and pretty standard. The system originally ran on WinCE5.0 (Booooo!) and we are currently porting it to Linux. Now the problem that we are facing is that after the first 3-4 touch events, no more touch events are recorded after that and the sensitivity of the clicks is very weak. Lastly, when the screen is touched while a video is playing the video and audio pause for the duration of the touch. One of the reasons for why we are having problems with the screen's response, could be that the aforementioned SPI connection is multiplexed (74CBELV3257) with an on-board battery and RTC (DS1339) - see page 9 of the attached schematics. I would really appreciate any guidance someone can give based on prior experience. Please see the schematics and the touch screen driver code for reference (http://drop.io/g8hz909). Since we are based out of Bombay we could also meet up and discuss this in further detail. Of course, we are willing to compensate high-quality assistance that leads to eventual resolution of the problem. Thank you guys very much in advance. Have fun, Paul

Re: [ILUG-BOM] [Commercial] [OT] VoIP Appliance PBX
by Mitul Limbani 06 Oct '10

06 Oct '10

Dear JT, Its not as scary as you describe. One of the most funniest thing about our law is that companies trying to sell telephony services must have license whereas consumers can buy whatever they want to and whatever is cheap. Which means selling skype service as a company under company's act need you to have license, but as a consumer you can buy the service using any legal means of money transfer (cheque, card etc) Eventually this results into the fact that a company in india can sell a product (just like selling a gun) but with an exception that these companies need not have any license to sell such goods. And even more interesting Democracy allows every indian the right to choose to buy these products from any company whichever he/she find comfortable to use. (telephony product and telephony services are two different things) FYI, we have launched our own embedded Single port PRI appliance IPPBX supporting 30 SIP extensions, any one interested can buzz me.

Android 1.6 tablet internet proxy setting
by Nachiketa Sadhu 06 Oct '10

06 Oct '10

Hi, After the discussion about cheap android tablet in the list, I got interested and ordered a M001 tablet from the internet link provided by one of you. After a wait of about a month it arrived yesterday, the price was $109 and I had to pay a duty of Rs.766 to the postman. I now can not configure internet proxy setting on the device. Though through google search I have been getting some instructions, but they do not match the menus on my device. It runs kernel 2.6.29-00236-g4f8dbbb-dirty, build number 1.9.1 and firmware version 1.6. I would be grateful if some one can give pointers to solve my problem. Thanks and regards. sadhu
