[Commercial] Muktware Anniversary and Foss Writing
by Swapnil 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Hi, Sorry for bugging you again. Muktware will complete one year in April. It's an achievement for us, especially for me as after moving from India, and quitting LFY, it was a challenge for me to stay connected to the FOSS world and continue to contribute in the manner I could -- writing and publication. Today Muktware is a well known online publication. Thanks to a lot of LUG members who have been guiding me through this. To celebrate one year, we are increasing the payment per-article. Now we pay Rs 1,000 or US$ 20 per article. The minimum length is 750 words. We are inviting reviews of OpenSuse 11.4. Gnome 3 and other latest distros. We are also inviting columns on contemporary issues. Please help me continue this FOSS journey. PS: We are based out of Brussels, Belgium. If any of you have plans to visit Brussels, please get in touch. Best Swapnil Bhartiya

autocad alternative in linux
by Kussh Singh 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

I finally seem to have come across a viable alternative to autocad for linux. Its called bricscad and seems to be much much faster in linux/ubuntu. I have given it to some other people for evaluation purposes but it looks to finally help engg companies and technically minded people to now switch over more easily to linux. Its not free but still much affordable.--they say its one 15th the cost of autocad. Only Tally remains a barrier for the switchover from windows to linux for the general user at the small business office now--hopefully some alternative software for linux will soon come out so as to make the transition painless.

music anyone?
by Kenneth Gonsalves 08 Mar '11

08 Mar '11

hi, here are the specs for an application a company I consult with wants to build, anyone interested in joining to build/consult on this please come forward. They will pay. specs: a. Music archive (presently containing about 4000 hours of classical carnatic music, which will grow to about 10000 hours (about 1TB of disk space)) - mp3 format b. Music can be accessed by artist, composer, raga, tala, album etc (the usual metadata) c. Access through 20 touchscreen kiosks with headsets (PCs with touch screen monitors) connected to the server d. Admin facility at the backend to organize, index, sequence etc e. Touchscreen interface for the listener to choose tracks/albums by various metatags a,b and d can be done using django or some such framework. I do not have much of a clue about c and e. or is there some open source app that does most of this and can be customised? -- regards KG http://lawgon.livejournal.com Coimbatore LUG rox http://ilugcbe.techstud.org/

I need to convert tally data which may be kept in files with extensions such as .001 etc to csv format. Which FOSS software can help do that? Any ideas.
