Fund Raising for RMS Visit
by Nagarjuna G. 04 Feb '03

04 Feb '03

Some of you who came to the meeting yesterday would know the requirements already. We need to raise about Rs.20,000/- as soon as possible. This money will be spent in supporting RMS's travel from Delhi to Mumbai, and expenses at VJTI public meeting, for posters, brochures etc. In the yesterday's meeting we already got Rs.2480/-. Please come forward to donate in Rs.50, 100. 500. 1000 etc. Money should reach me as soon as possible so that arrangements can be done prior to his arrival so that when he is around we only concentrate on the events and not on this mundane matters. Netcore has agreed to take care of transport and boarding. Lodging I think will be arranged in IIT guest house. For collecting money and handing over to me, some of you may have to act as nodes. Please announce your name and phone numbers so that those who wish to donate could reach easily. Nagarjuna

Has anybody tried Virtual Linux? http://www.virtual-linux.org/ Let's have some feedback. Seems to be a very interesting project. Finally, Ramnikbhai can try out linux without having to "touch" his Existing Setup (TM).

[OT] fixing the line length
by Manish Jethani 03 Feb '03

03 Feb '03

Sometime back we had a discussion (poll?) on "fixing the line length" in our posts. Some, like myself, were of the opinion that the sender should wrap the text at an "appropriate" column, say, 66. Some others were arguing that this scheme only screws up the display. I just discovered this RFC [http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2646.txt] (have I been living in a cave?) that addresses this issue by introducing a new parameter with the text/plain type. It's "format=flowed|fixed". And guess what - Mozilla already supports it, Mutt is introducing it in 1.3, and Pine developers are thinking about it (I might be wrong, but that's what a recent message on the Pine mailing list suggests). So I hope this will solve the issue. Manish -- "The statements and opinions expressed here are my own and do not necessarily represent those of Oracle Corporation."

There are many (mainly non techies) who are quite frustrated with MS products and would like to try another OS, but are sceptical about GNU/Linux. The sceptism arises from the fact that if a "great" company like MS can deliver such junk others may be much worse. Trying out an os without the "risk" of screwing his harddisk sounds good to such users. jtdsouza(a)softhome.net

[OFF TOPIC] AI Seminar: Indian Language wordnets
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 03 Feb '03

03 Feb '03

----- Forwarded message from Pushpak Bhattacharya <pb(a)cse.iitb.ac.in> ----- Date: Sun, 2 Feb 2003 22:13:52 +0530 (IST) From: Pushpak Bhattacharya <pb(a)cse.iitb.ac.in> X-Scanned: By Symantec Carrier Scan Server Subject: AI Seminar To: btech3(a)cse.iitb.ac.in, <btech4(a)cse.iitb.ac.in>, <mtech1(a)cse.iitb.ac.in>, <mtech2(a)cse.iitb.ac.in>, <mtech01@it>, <mtech02@it> I am giving a talk in the CSE seminar hall at 3.30 PM on Monday (tomorrow; particulars below). You might be interested in attending it. Title: ----- Development and Application of Indian Language Wordnets. Abstract: -------- It is now an accepted fact that no meaningful research and development in natural language processing, information extraction and machine translation can be carried out without WORDNETS. In India, wordnets are being built for the following languages: Hindi and Marathi at IIT Bombay, Tamil at Anna University Knowledge Based Center Chennai, Gujarathi at MS University Baroda (under the supervision of IIT Bombay), Oriya and Sanskrit at Utkal University Bhubaneswar and Bengali at IIT Kharagpur. The Hindi wordnet- which pioneered all these efforts- is at an advanced stage of development with about 11000 semantically linked synsets and with the associated software and the user interface. The final aim is to construct wordnets for Indian languages, link them internally to produce the INDO-WORDNET and then link the Indo-wordnet with the English wordnet and the Euro-Wordnet (a conglommeration of European language wordnets). This will facilitate automatic translation, multilingual information search and multilingual text processing. The Indo-wordnet project is being spearheaded by IIT Bombay. In the presentation with the above title, we describe the computational and linguistic issues involved in building Indian language wordnets with specific reference to Hindi and Marathi. Synsets are the building blocks of any wordnet, and the basic principles behind construcing the synsets, viz., Minimality, Coverage and Replacability will be discussed. In Indian language computing, verbs pose difficult problems- particularly in the storage structure of the wordnet- due to compounding, causative formation and onomaetopia. Our method of dealing with verbs will be spelt out. Certain semantic relations of the English and the Euro-wordnet have been further refined in the Hindi wordnet structure. Also cross-part of speech semantic relations have been explicitly set up for facilitating word sense disambiguation. We conclude the talk with two important applications of the wordnet- word sense disambiguation and automatic lexicon generation. We have used the verb noun associations to disambiguate the nouns through a semantic cluster formed in the wordnet. As for the second application, the wordnet hierarchy is used to create the disambiguators and the semantic attributes of the words in the document. This facilitates extracting knowledge from the document and automatic translation.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Calling for donation for Give Away CD's at Gnu-Linux conference

Hello Bhaskar, good-evening. I would be really glad if you could have the cd's given to me while in bombay. I work at MediaLab Asia and am reachable on my cell 24x7(9820349221(M) : 28312930-31(O)). I can use all the Blanks you can donate. After all they are for students itself. That apart we are keenly looking forwards towards delivering a talk at Shivaji University on 8th which will include intorduction to fsf-os, First Strides with gnu-linux, knoppix(bootable cd with gnu-linux on it), carreers on gnu-linux, using free software-open source, why does gnu-linux/fsf-os for students make so much sense???. A concrete agenda for the talk is yet to be jotted down, but the above is a small preci of what is to come. Call me and drop in when you are in bombay and we'll meet. Have a nice day Bhaskar. And your efforts to help are highly appreciated. Trevor On Sat, 2003-02-01 at 15:47, The GNU/Linuxer wrote: > Dear Trevor, > Hello! I want to know how can I help regarding the ``Give-away CDs''. I have many blank CD-Rs with me. Would CD-Rs in a spindle [without jewel cases] serve the job or do you require cases also ? Do tell me about that. Also let me know how I can reach you because I am based in Kolhapur. Most probably I'll be in there when RMS visits Mumbai. I have told Amish [Munshi] to get some job which I can do. Everything will be decided today I suppose. > Since I am a student of Shivaji University, I am interested in knowing about ILUG-Bom's involvement with the Varsity, 'cause I think I can be of some help to you in that regard. > Do inform me at the earliest. > Regards, > Bhaskar Ghose > > > --------------------------------- > Gesendet von http://mail.yahoo.de. > Bis zu 100 MB Speicher bei http://premiummail.yahoo.de.

epson 480 printer cartridge
by Pradnyesh Sawant 02 Feb '03

02 Feb '03

first of all i wud like 2 apologise 2 all of u for having my mail cause so much of flames on the grp. it was only b'coz of incomplete info provided by me. the other mistake that i realized i had made was 2 ask questions directly on the list without trying 2 find the ans myself first. tried 2 take the easy way out. but now that i've realized my mistake, i will try not to commit the mistake again. having apologised, i wud also like 2 make some clarifications: actually the epson 480 color stylus printer comes with a MS windows based utility 2 bring the cartridge holder in the open (from beneath the cover) while changing the cartridge. also after changing the cartridge, the ink in the new cartridge has 2 be charged b4 the printer can start printing. also other utilities provided r nozzle cleaning, head positioning, etc. it is **not** possible 2 open the printer & change the cartridge manually. (so i can't do ne thing even if god has given me 2 hands & a brain) also my printer IS connected to a linux machine (although i also have a windows OS, which i never use (it is there for my brother who uses the comp only 2 play games like NFS, cricket, etc which, unfortunately r not available on the linux platform)) it doesn't make sense 2 switch 2 windows just 2 change the printer cartridge. consider the case of a guy (probably hypothetical) who has the same printer but has only linux on his machine my question is definitely related to GNU/linux & i think that it was not at all out of place when it occured on the mailing list. P.S: although i took all the sarcasm in a very light & joking manner, i wud sincerely REQUEST all of u to plz not use a rude language & flame each other, which wud only result in migration of a linux newbie like me again 2 WINDOZE. -- Pradnyesh Sawant ( The Doubtfire ) Ph: 27703060 B.E.

[OT] Xqueeze Reference Implementation (C++) available
by Tahir Hashmi 02 Feb '03

02 Feb '03

Hi all! I am glad to announce that after ages of delay, a Reference Implementation for Xqueeze (pronounced as ex-kweez) is now available in C++. You can download it from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xqueeze Xqueeze project aims to derive better performance from applications that use XML as the underlying data exchange mechanism and where human-readability is not a concern. The objectives for Xqueeze are: * Minimization of space consumed by markup * Compatibility with XML based design, development and deployment * Fast parsing * Minimum/no loss of generality afforded by XML Xqueeze uses an alternate markup scheme called xqML (xqueeze Markup Language) that is structurally similar to XML but has much more compact markup and is easier to parse. For details, check out http://xqueeze.sourceforge.net You may also like to join the mailing list. See: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xqueeze-users Developers: Tahir Hashmi <tnhashmi AT users.sourceforge.net> Swapnil Shrivastava <swapn AT users.sourceforge.net> Soarabh Madan <soarabh AT users.sourceforge.net> -- Tahir Hashmi (VSE, NCST) http://staff.ncst.ernet.in/tahir tahir AT ncst DOT ernet DOT in We, the rest of humanity, wish GNU luck and Godspeed

2 minor problems after kernel recompilation..
by Apurva Mehta 01 Feb '03

01 Feb '03

Hi, This is my first post to this mailing list although I have been lurking for a couple of months... I am facing 2 problems with my GNU/Linux box (Redhat 7.2, Kernel 2.4.19) since I installed the 2.4.19 kernel a couple of months ago.. 1) My system does not turn off automatically after issuing the powerdown command.. I have to turn it of manually. Earlier, with the RH 7.2 default kernel (2.4.7-10), the power would switch off automatically. Here are the how the relevant variables are set : CONFIG_PM=y CONFIG_APM=m # CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE=y CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y # CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK is not set CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT=y CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS=y # CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set I got these settings from linuxnewbie.org a couple of months ago. They do not work for me, nor can I explain why they are the way they are. They seem to work for others with a similar problem though. 2) I cannot mount audio cd's anymore. I can play them through gtcd, I just cannot rip them.. The mount command tells me that I got a bad fs type or there are too many mounted filesystems. I can mount normal data cd's easily enough.. Also, what is a good strategy to follow while compiling a kernel? Is it better to make as many modules as possible or the other way round? Are there any particular features which would be better off as part of the kernel image rather than as modules? Currently, I have compiled very few features as modules. Thanks for your time.. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Apurva Mehta PGP Public Key: http://www.geocities.com/theprancinghorse/pgp_public_key.txt -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
