gnome clock at top right corner
by Pratik Anand 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

I work with on Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome as Desktop Environment. I have all the toolbars on autohide mode as it gives me full space on the screen to work. This change , though, is more comfortable for me but is also causing some inconvenience. I often lose track of time spent. So, I want a way by which I could keep a widget or app like thing at top right corner of my screen (taking minimum space,hence time in DIGITAL format), which can show time. OR if I can integrate a digital clock on righmost side of the active window. Any idea on how this can be achieved? I am looking for simple linux hacks or some config changes to do so. Otherwise will have to do so in java , Qt etc. Please pour in your ideas... -- Pratik Anand B.Tech - CSE (3rd year) http://www.pratikanand.com Twitter: twitter.com/pratikone Facebook:facebook.com/pratikone Blog:pratik3d.blogspot.com

e-governance policy of Govt. of Maharashtra
by Koustubh Sinkar 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

Govt of Maharashtra has placed the draft eGovernance Policy on their website ( http://maharashtra.gov.in/ ) for citizens' comments. I think one should take this opportunity to log the expectations from such policy as citizens. Besides general comments, as FOSS users, we should also insist on inter-operability of the Govt platforms (if not use of FOSS for building such platforms). We should make a joint representation to the govt. on behalf of bombay-lug?? That will be a better way of impacting the decision making process. We could have an open-source lobby, which would stress for open standards. Koustubh कौस्तुभ सिनकर

Microsoft Monopoly

26 Jan '11

This is an email I am circulatting from lugc mailist list: Hello all, When I looked to buy a branded laptop, I felt much bad that I can customize a laptop *BUT* I MUST select a M$ operating system. And this really is like forcing us to pay money even if we do not want to buy it. Is there any talks before this post or is there a way to buy a branded laptop (like HP, DELL or a sony vaio). If there is no way, why are we not even trying to make a way? and also see http://www.mca.gov.in/Ministry/mrtpc.html In a depressed mood -- Mohi ======================================================== Thats just two lines are not enough. i think we should have a strong oposition. what i am suggesting is. Lets form a open source forum for business. If there is already then get their help, or create new. and have a strong platrform which will look for health of open source business and which will be face of 'busienss' of foss in India. When i go to our nearest mall and i asked sales person that i wll pay half price in advance but get me without os laptop they just simply declined. They want me to buy ms only laptop. Please have a look at *Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices* (MRTPC) http://www.mca.gov.in/Ministry/mrtpc.html *Competition Commission of India* http://www.cci.gov.in/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=18 We should demand healthy competition in computer industry in india through our forum. Let me know if we can seriosly do something about this. Your suggestions are welcome. -- Abhijit Navale.

[OT] Hiring for startups? Here is an interesting concept
by Debayan Banerjee 25 Jan '11

25 Jan '11

The students of NIT Durgapur, India<http://debayan.wordpress.com/2011/01/25/hiring-for-start-ups/nitdgp.ac.in>have come up with an interesting concept. The GNU/Linux Users’ Group there has been running an online judge for programming contests name “CodeCracker<http://codecracker.in/>” for sometime now. Having enjoyed a substantial amount of success in the number of participants over the years they decided to start looking for sponsors for the event. Nothing special there. What is different though is that they want to bring start-ups and potential employees face-2-face. It is very difficult<http://www.swaroopch.com/blog/difficulty-hiring-startups-india/>to find good people for start-ups and this might be a way to solve that problem. Go ahead and read the details on the CodeCracker sponsors’ page<http://codecracker.in/sponsor.php>. They will be happy with any small amount for sponsorship. -- Debayan Banerjee Software Engineer

Are the hot spots going to be "open" as in anyone can get access or will they be given a some kind of userid/passwd or equivalent? Either way, I think you will be under the same purview [1] as Cybercafes with the additional management of your WiFi clients.

So the description of such packages is needed in another file containing a subset of names of packages likely to be removed. How can this be done ? Kussh

A suggestion
by Rajagopal Swaminathan 29 Dec '10

29 Dec '10

Greetings, We see a lot of professionals and SMBs who are member of this list. I was wondering if we all can form a sort of service network of professional for various solutions using open/mixed source. Any person/organisation with skills/knowledge on FLOSS/Hweterogenous/Others can be a member. We cannot ignore the "other"/"Proprietery" completely as they are entrenched in the various verticals. Please bear with me. I have dedicated last five years of my bread and butter earning career to FLOSS solutions but have difficulty in gaining traction in the enterprises working alone. Of course there are commercials involved. Which can be discussed threadbare. Perhaps another list for that. I was having a "Single window Solutions" in mind wherein the members/prospective customers can pick and choose services they want. Modalities/details can be worked out. Soliciting opinions from the esteemed members of this list. Regards, Rajagopal

In all my years with Linux, this is the first laptop on which everything like sound, mike, webcam, wifi, screen resolution, external display, sleep and resume, function keys, even the sd card read/write all work out of the box with Ubuntu 10.10. Amazing!! Comes with DOS only so no M$ tax on purchase price. Intel Core i3 370M @ 2.4 Ghz, 4gb DDR3 ram, 500Gb hdd, 14" WLED screen.
