[OT][Announcement] web3.0 mailing list
by Arulalan T 01 Aug '10

01 Aug '10

Dear All, Greetings .!. Do you have awareness about web3.0 ? The Semantic Web is a web of data. There is lots of data we all use every day, and it is not part of the web. I can see my bank statements on the web, and my photographs, and I can see my appointments in a calendar. But can I see my photos in a calendar to see what I was doing when I took them? Can I see bank statement lines in a calendar? Why not? Because we don't have a web of data. Because data is controlled by applications, and each application keeps it to itself. Humans are capable of using the Web to carry out tasks such as finding the Irish word for "directory", reserving a library book, and searching for a low price for a DVD. However, one computer cannot accomplish all of these tasks without human direction, because web pages are designed to be read by people, not machines. The semantic web is a vision of information that is understandable by computers, so computers can perform more of the tedious work involved in finding, combining, and acting upon information on the web. We are going to make web3.0 with the basics of semantic web. Let us discuss about web3.0 in this mailing list. Welcomes you to real data understandable by computer as data not as text ! - To join in the web3 mailing list, subscribe here http://www.freelists.org/list/web3 What is the Semantic Web? Where Web 2.0 is focused on people, the Semantic Web is focused on machines. The Web requires a human operator, using computer systems to perform the tasks required to find, search and aggregate its information. It's impossible for a computer to do these tasks without human guidance because Web pages are specifically designed for human readers. The Semantic Web is a project that aims to change that by presenting Web page data in such a way that it is understood by computers, enabling machines to do the searching, aggregating and combining of the Web's information — without a human operator. :-) More info about semantic web : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Web http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/ http://www.webopedia.com/DidYouKnow/Internet/2007/Semantic_Web.asp Thank you. -- Regards, Arulalan.T Kanchi Linux User Group Rocks ! http://kanchilug.wordpress.com My Experiments In Linux are here http://tuxcoder.wordpress.com One Day One Cmd via sms http://1day1cmd.wordpress.com

Spaceman talks about tribes (and gets interesting responses)
by steve 01 Aug '10

01 Aug '10

Hi, In context of a couple of mails I sent earlier this week, including the one about GNOME contributions by a certain distro, I thought yesterday's blog post by Mark Shuttleworth is interesting. More interesting are the responses he gets: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/439 This of course, was in response to GergDeK's(*) post: http://gregdekspeaks.wordpress.com/2010/07/29/red-hat-16-canonical-1/ Of course, having to defend oneself by words rather than work in meritocracy based FOSS is ...ahem ...sad. Read all the comments to get a fair idea. cheers, - steve (*) incidentally, calling people like GregDek, who just point out uncomfortable facts, 'The Gregs' is not considered as generalization by spaceman. -- random spiel: http://lonetwin.net/ what i'm stumbling into: http://lonetwin.stumbleupon.com/

Linux Event
by Surya Sharma 01 Aug '10

01 Aug '10

Since we were discussing this sometime ago, I'm returning to it. People mentioned we haven't had a good linux conference / event for a long time in Mumbai. I can arrange lecture halls / rooms and computer labs in my college [MGM College Of Engineering And Technology, location: http://is.gd/dUPzZ ] on the 8th / 9th of October (or some other Saturday/Sunday before that) What I'll need is support from you in terms of planning and arranging the event. If any of you are willing to put some effort into this, please let me know. Surya Sharma

Ubuntu 10.04 installation on Acer 5740 Core i5 and 3 GB RAM
by Rony Bill 31 Jul '10

31 Jul '10

Hello, Yesterday I got a new Acer 5740 with core i5, 3 GB RAM, 320 GB HDD and all the regular things. It was the linux model. Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit was installed on it. The live CD itself showed all devices working, including wireless. There was one bug during live session. Every time the wireless was connected, the touch pad would go dead. This problem did not appear post installation. The devices working are... Display .... gives full 1366 x 768 resolution. Sound .... After increasing levels and un-muting (maybe) it plays with decent Acer type sound levels. Touch pad ... Works fine. Bluetooth .... Linked with my mobile. Did not try any transfers. Wireless .... Works like butter. Used it in the live session itself for installation. Sound up / down .... Works from the dedicated keys. Brightness up /down does NOT work inspite of adding acpi_osi="Linux" to the grub parameters. Camera.....The gnome package camerama does not detect the video device but cheese does it flawlessly giving bright, crisp and colourfull images. Available in apt. camerama out, cheese in. Bluetooth and Wireless on / off buttons work. ubuntu-restricted-extras installs the non-free stuff including flash player for firefox. Remember.... it is the 64 bit OS. One bug that exists is that when changing desktop backgrounds, after selecting a second or third image choice, the machine freezes and has to be forced shut down. So I set my image once and lay off. Overall a 'works out of the box' experience. -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux No Viruses No Spyware Only Freedom.
