With all these restrictions, I have a funny feeling on what "Open" means anymore. This is like an AI learning a bit too much and trying to take over the world :D Surya Sharma

FossDevConf

> > > With all these strict rules, I'm assuming FossDevConf aims only at expert / > developers used to linux, foss, etc. If you're looking to pull in newbies, > then these are too restrictive. > but newbies are supposed to sit as audience and there is not restriction on them. Also, I do not feel these as restriction on speaker, These are just guidelines. Basically I attend some conference where Windows was used for ppt presentation. Although those speaker are taking about FOSS but it do not match with true spirit of FOSS and Open world. For example a totally new bies when attend fossdevconf or simila event where he will find every speaker using non-windows stuff, this will make a positive impact on him. Please reply back how to feel.. on this ? ┌─────────────────────────┐ > │ Narendra Sisodiya ( नरेन्द्र सिसोदिया ) > │ Society for Knowledge Commons > │ Web : http://narendra.techfandu.org > └─────────────────────────┘ > Firstly, I'd request you to keep this on the mailing list, because the power of crowd can't be beaten. Secondly, disclaimer, I'm a windows user, and my hand really flies across it when I'm using it. I'm not a hardcore developer, just some programming here / there on PHP or microcontrollers (C). I do use linux, multiple distro's, but spend most of the time on windows / winblows etc. I also got Windows for free from M$ under a certain unrelated engineering subscription. There's two ways of losing an addiction, the cold turkey way, and the slow way. The cold turkey way is awesome, but doesn't work for everyone. Also, I study in a college where the students / crowd isn't very technically inclined (including Engineering students doing Computer sciences). I found that showing them open source on windows worked much better than doing an install fest and throwing them into the linux world. Once they were comfortable with technical aspects like SVN, command line etc, then introducing them to linux worked better. (compared to direct installfest, where most of the students were noting down steps on a notebook, but not getting the steps. So imho, there should always be a basic workshop / lecture on FOSS philosophies and applications in Windows to get the newbies into the scene. After all, most of us are here because of our hatred to Windows / OS X :) Surya Sharma

29 Mar '10

Dear Friends, I want to start an open source project, I mean I want my source code to be free. But I don't know how to register for an open source license and from where to get it. I tried googling and took a glance at OSI website but couldn't find any link for registration. I am sorry if you find my question as a noob :) Thanks in advance. -- Best regards, Aasif

muk.in 2010: call for papers
by vivek khurana 28 Mar '10

28 Mar '10

Hi all, It's that time of the year when we all come together and help all the humans to get rid off the proprietary software, yes my friends it's time for mukt.in. We feel great pleasure to present you mukt.in 2010. This time with a totally new concept and a new home. Previous editions have successfully inspired a lot of people, specially in Hyderabad about free software and brought them to the community. But due to the active Telangana issue this year, so we are not able to have it in Hyderabad this time. So, we have shifted base to Jaipur, Rajasthan. This time we are not accepting any talks , yes that's true. Mukt.in 2010 is going to be completely workshop based. It's our belief that hands on tutorial have a greater and better impact on the ones attending then only talking, and looking at the fact, most people attending it would be students from and around jaipur, because jaipur is a hub for engineering colleges. The mukt.in team invites submissions to its official un-conference , mukt.in 2010 to be held on 23rd and 24th April 2010 at Swami Keshvanand Institute of Technology (SKIT), Jaipur, Rajasthan. We cordially invite you to submit your CFP at http://mukt.in/cfp now. Important Dates and Time The last date for CFP submission is 8th April 2010. On 8th april 1200 hrs IST we will be closing the CFP window. List of selected workshops will be announced on 10th April 2010 at 0000 hrs IST Workshop submission Guidelines: 1. Interested speakers need to register on http://mukt.in 2. They will have to add a workshop using the system 3. In the add workshop system they need to mention following: a) Title of the workshop b) A detail description what they plan to do in the workshop c) Duration of the workshop d) Expertise level e) Required software to be used during the workshop f) Linux distribution they plan to use (Fedora / Ubuntu we are currently supporting) g) Any other extra material if you want to attach One can submit more than 1 workshop using the system. It will be really great if you plan to submit more than 1 workshop as it will give you ample opportunity to start from the basics and go till the advance. Mukt.in 2010 theme and suggested area for workshops As said earlier this time we are only planning to have workshops so, we like to introduce the attendees to the concept of "shut-up and hack". Our target audience will mostly be college students who will have a beginner to intermediate expertise in FOSS. Plus we are also planning to bring Rajasthan government officials / NGOs and also college faculties. We plan to organize a complete workshop dedicated to NGOs, government people and college faculties. The workshop for college faculty should preferably target FOSS tools which the faculties can use as an alternative to the existing proprietary tools. Some of the suggested topics for workshops are: * LAMP. * FOSS and electronics. * Linux system administration. * FOSS in mobile computing. * Cloud computing with FOSS. * Emerging open standards. * FOSS and multimedia. * and much more. For any further queries please write to us at: contact(a)mukt.in Thanks & Regards Mukt.in 2010 Team -- blog: http://www.vivekkhurana.net/no-mind
