flamewars on top posting
by Suhit Kelkar 13 Sep '10

Hello, Many of the users who rant of others top posting have been guilty of worse discourtesies in the past. I remember one of the so-called 'senior' users has called someone a moron. That same user has appointed himself a custodian of netiquette. I suspect that this ranting about top-posting is merely a pretext to keep their name appearing on the list i.e to boost their egos. Regards Suhit Kelkar.

luit linux

I saw this mentioned on DistroWatch and downloaded the iso. I was pleasantly surprised when it loaded (a live cd) on a 486/66 with 32 MB RAM . Unfortunately it did not recognize the serial mouse on com2. I sent a message to the author <dr_ashim(a)hotmail.com> with no response. Without the mouse I could not navigate very well but it seems to be a nice distro that can run even on such ancient systems . It would be nice if some talented person takes this under their wing and help recycle those ancients. Regards hg. PS: how can I (computer illiterate) get this to recognize serial mouse (& comm ports). Feather Linux, very similar to this is also an orphan it seems.

Events planned to celebrate Software Freedom Day in Bangalore from 15th to 17th Sept
by VIGNESH PRABHU 11 Sep '10

11 Sep '10

Hi friends, Software Freedom Law Centre, New Delhi(SFLC-ND) and Free Software Movement-Karnataka (FSMK) are celebrating Software Freedom Day, by organizing Talks and events by one of the mavericks of the Knowledge Freedom campaigns and an affiliate of SFLC-ND - Prof.Eben Moglen,Founder, Director-Counsel and Chairman of Software Freedom Law Center. In this visit to Bangalore, Prof.Eben Moglen will be participating in three separate events organized by FSMK. *1. Inaugural Lecture of Free Software certificate course at St.Joseph's College,Bangalore on the 15th September 4 p.m.* St.Joseph's College, Bangalore has incorporated 120 hours of free software sessions to be handled by FSMK and other like-minded Free Software Enthusiasts. The course syllabus will be put up on website of FSMK very soon. The idea is to to empower students to become productive self-supporting citizens of the free software community. Its an honour to have professor Eben deliver the first lecture of the course. *2. Prof.Eben at Ambedkar Community Computing Center (AC3) on the 16th September., evening* Before two years, RMS and Prof.Eben visited AC3 with only a few students who were being taught computers using Free Software. Today, these handful of young free software activists from the community are running three other Community Computing Centers completely on their own. Prof.Eben will visit AC3 for a community discussion, where the members of these centers will initiate a discussion on the activities so far, the ups and downs and the way forward. There will also be a small cultural event organized by AC3 students. *3. Interaction with Prof.Eben Moglen on the Freedom in the Cloud at Indian Institute of Science, on 17th September , 3p.m – 5 p.m, faculty hall IISc. * Speaker: Prof. Eben Moglen Professor of Law and Legal History at Columbia University Founder, Director-Counsel & Chairman of Software Freedom Law Center Time: Fri. Sep 17 2010 3pm-5pm Venue: Faculty Hall, IISc Title of Talk: "Freedom in the Cloud: Software Freedom, Privacy and Security for Web 2.0 and Cloud Computing" Abstract: Everyone wants a piece of you these days: Google, Facebook, Flickr, Apple, AT&T, Bing. They'll give you free e-mail, free photo storage, free web hosting, even a free date. They just want to listen in. And you can't wait to let them. They'll store your stuff, they'll organize your photos, they'll keep track of your appointments, as long as they can watch. It all goes into the "Cloud." How we got here is quite a scary story. But nowhere near as scary as getting out again. This talk will discuss how much worse things have become since the pre-cloud era and explain what you can do to reclaim your freedom in the era of Web 2.0. I cordially invite you all to come and celebrate software freedom day along with us during these events. -- Regards, Vignesh B. Tech in Computer Science National Institute Of Technology-Durgapur

Hello, I had used the @ symbol in my subject line. One user, whose name I do not seem to remember, thinks he knows better than other people what linguistic symbols to utilise in mailing lists, and he responded as below: ==quote==Please go back to Facebook/Twitter. List mail threads do not concatenate themselves with the @nonsense. Read the mailing list guidelines once again and try to respect them.==quote== I do not understand the first sentence. Should I then politely ask the honble user to *please* go back to wherever it is that etiquette is taught? Regards

Hello, My earlier message should have read as below. Many of the users who rant of others not trimming their mails, top-posting, bottom-posting and other bits of prissiness have been guilty of worse discourtesies in the past. I remember one of the so-called 'senior' users has called someone a moron. The same user has now appointed himself a custodian of netiquette. I suspect that this ranting about trimming mails and such is merely a pretext to keep their name appearing on the list i.e to boost their egos. Regards Suhit Kelkar.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Anivar Aravind <anivar.aravind(a)gmail.com> Date: Sat, Sep 4, 2010 at 11:56 AM Subject: [fosscomm] Obituary to Our Friend & FOSS Activist Shyam Karanat To: Fosscom Network <network(a)fosscom.in> Dear All, Our Friend, and member of This List Shyam Karanatt ended his life himself yesterday afternoon. Still most of his friends are still shocked and not recovered from the pain of this news. Shyam was a very active Free Software advocate and Activist. I like to recall his major contributions to Free Software Movement in India He was known to me initially through Google Summer of Code candiate for Swathanthra Malayalam Computing , for building the prototype for Malayalam Speech Recognition system. and he started that with a project named sharika based on CMU-SPINX library. He become an active volunteer of Swathanthra Malayalam Computing and part of various other LUGS like Swathanthra Software Users Group Malappuram, Foss Group in MES, FSUG- Thrissur etc. He become the project admin for Translating GNU.ORG webpages to Malayalam, and made a lot of progress with that work . He involved with Organising Various FOSS programmes in his college and varouos cities in Kerala . Shyam initiated the Syllabus Review page in FCI Wikia http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/Syllabus_Review and compiled most of the data, in association with Venkiy . Which become a major intervention too later. He took a major role on realising the idea of GNU labs and implimenting the first functioning GNU lab in MES kuttippuram http://gnulabs.org/ Shyam was a good speaker in various FOSS conferences like FOSS.IN , Mukth.in etc and associate with Various FOSS Groups like IndLinux, SMC, FSUG-Thrissur, FSUG-Calicut, SSUG Malappurm etc His funeral is at Ramapuram, Pala, Kottayam District today Shyam's Photo From Niyam's collection http://www.flickr.com/photos/niyam/2399712870/ ~ in the memory of a good friend Anivar -- "[It is not] possible to distinguish between 'numerical' and 'nonnumerical' algorithms, as if numbers were somehow different from other kinds of precise information." - Donald Knuth _______________________________________________ network mailing list network(a)lists.fosscom.in http://lists.fosscom.in/listinfo.cgi/network-fosscom.in

Vedic calendar algorithm
by Pratik Anand 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

I am making a simple symbian app in Python which will take Gregorian calendar date from user and convert it to Vikram Sanvat /Shak samvat of Vedic calendar. unfortunately, the hindu calendar varies much from the our de-facto system in no. of days in months. So, I am looking for an algorithm which does it effectively , otherwise, I will have to write it from scratch which may have some bugs(in dates). the app first calculates the time in seconds(unix epoch way) then converts it to gregorian. This info be of help,if any. More reference here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bikram_Samwat -- Pratik Anand B.Tech - CSE (3rd year) Blog: pratik3d.blogspot.com Twitter: twitter.com/pratikone
