<quote> An anonymous reader writes "Here are the links to the as-yet-unreleased judgement in the Microsoft case by CKK: Final Decree[1], Memorandum Opinion[2], Public Interest Order[3], Opinion on the State Settlement[4], State Settlement Order[4]." In brief: Kollar-Kotelly accepts the settlement that the Federal Gov't and some states wanted, but she wants a minor change to it; and she has decided the case which was pursued by the other states as well, mostly ordering Microsoft to refrain from certain behaviors with regard to the user-visible desktop. Overall: a massive win for Microsoft, who can restrict the release of its APIs to major commercial companies only. </quote> [1] http://www.dcd.uscourts.gov/Opinions/2002/Kotelly/FinalDecree.pdf [2] http://www.dcd.uscourts.gov/Opinions/2002/Kotelly/Lit11-1.pdf [3] http://www.dcd.uscourts.gov/Opinions/2002/Kotelly/PubIntOrd.pdf [4] http://www.dcd.uscourts.gov/Opinions/2002/Kotelly/StateSettlement.pdf [5] http://www.dcd.uscourts.gov/Opinions/2002/Kotelly/Statesord.pdf An Anonymous Reader on newsforge.com sums it up as "If the Beltway sniper could get the same judge, they will be told not to do it again and be given a new box of cartridges." -- Tahir Hashmi (VSE, NCST) http://staff.ncst.ernet.in/tahir tahir AT ncst DOT ernet DOT in We, the rest of humanity, wish GNU luck and Godspeed

The demise of CentOS as we knew it
by Arun Khan 14 Dec '20

14 Dec '20

You may have read about this already. Sharing the news as FYI for those using CentOS as an RHEL compatible OS. IBM/RHEL has changed the strategy for CentOS support (software) with CentOS 8 (EOL 2021-12-31); CentOS 7 support will not change till it's EOL in 2024-06-24 [1]. The gist of it. CentOS 8 will become "upstream" for RHEL and no longer be based on RHEL source RPMs; break binary compatibility. Read more here >> https://blog.centos.org/2020/12/future-is-centos-stream/ Many enterprises adopted CentOS because of it's binary compatibility with RHEL and 3rd party software solutions. Small companies, developers, and even big enterprises who are using CentOS will have to rethink their Linux OS roadmap. Here is an ArsTechnica article with alternates for RHEL compatibility. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/12/centos-linux-is-gone-but-its-refuge… [1] https://wiki.centos.org/About/Product -- Arun Khan (অরুণ খান্/अरुण खान) "If you do not come out of your shell, you are just a nut."

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Guntupalli Karunakar <karunakar(a)indlinux.org> Date: Mon, Oct 12, 2020 at 8:21 PM Subject: Contributing to Gcompris for Indian language support. To: Indlinux group <indlinux-group(a)lists.sourceforge.net>, IndLinux Hindi < indlinux-hindi(a)lists.sourceforge.net> Cc: <Kde-l10n-hi(a)kde.org> Hi, Possibly many must be aware of Gcompris, from its website - "GCompris is a high quality educational software suite, including a large number of activities for children aged 2 to 10." https://gcompris.net/index-en.html Gcompris is planning a 1.0 release by 17th November 2020. Last date to commit translations is 15th November. Indian language support has not been updated for some time. I compiled a brief status here - https://www.indlinux.org/wiki/index.php/Gcompris While primarily its UI translations, but a key aspect is audio also, which plays if recordings in the language are available. Please refer to above wiki page for details on what work needs to be done. Regards, Karunakar -- Kde-l10n-hi mailing list Kde-l10n-hi(a)kde.org http://mail.kde.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kde-l10n-hi

Making it mobile device friendly is the right step. And I am sure, the team will take a similar posture like a banking app i.e. the security controls, etc. I suggest that the team announce updates to such lists. TIA. -- Arun Khan
