Thanks for the feedback. I have stopped giving two hour long lectures, which I used to do earlier. Now my workshop program is minimum of 6hours. If any organization requests for that I can repeat this at least once in each month.

Afternoon Nagarjun,
Can we have arranged for you a road show covering Technical Institutions across the city/state with one trip scheduled a month???.
A great deal of students would benefit from the same,

Nagarjuna,
Why don't we record it and then offer to send a copy at media cost to all the engineering colleges?

This needs recording, which means some one has to make the effort of doing this. CDAC/NCST had shown interest to record this, we need to pursue this idea. Otherwise, hbcse has the paraphernalia to do the recording etc. what we need are volunteers to convert the video into vcd's. Any volunteers? I will give them the lab with non-liniar editing etc, but they do have to work only in the late evenings. Several people had recorded ealrier, but they have not made efforts to give me or any one the copies. Kresit had also done a recording of a workshop, they must be having the recording too. may be we should do it again to get professional quality.
Secondly, regarding the live CD to be distributed, in fact all the programs demonstrated during my workshop are done using a specially developed CD for schools/colleges under the LIFE project, the CD is called School Gnoware, which was demonstrated and given to all the participants. Also another CD containing a wealth of documentation, called GNU DOC, prepared by warren, is also included. We also have another live CD called office Gnoware with Indian language support. Depending on where I do the workshop I give the appropriate live CD. Thanks to Debian and Knoppix projects, this has become very easy, and also thanks to my project students who developed the various versions of the CD with help from Amish Munshi, the expert remastering guy in town.

Hello all, Its always good to see projects like this take shape and grow solely because of the efforts of volunteers/enthusiasts.
However, there comes a point in time where only volunteer time does not suffice. (I dont know if its true yet in this case).
I would suggest that the core team come up with a estimated cost for getting a CD/DVD professionally cut using the material existing.
Once done, I for one would be more than happy to contribute a sum towards such a project and I am sure there would be more contributors like that.
This would ensure timely completion (and more importantly, availability) and many like myself would benefit from this.
any takers? abhi

Post goa i feel ashamed for the lack of enthusiasm locally in getting FSF/OS out to the masses. With such meagre resources they have achieved a lot.
From a very humble perspective if we all can meet together and have a course chartered outlining tentative schedules for the year ahead we would be a group with a very definite cause for the year ahead.

I dont see any reason why we should feel ashamed, particularly after what we did at WSF. It is not an easy task to manage 45 volunteers for 10days. Most of them from mumbai. However I should say this that apart from some core participation of half dozen people from the GLUG the remaining happened to be my students. This situation should improve next time we do some major event.
That GLUG should do a conference is on the cards for several days, but I think some company should take it up taking the resources from the GLUG. And this event should be a paid event so that the money collected could go to FSF India. FSF India is really starved of funds.
Nagarjuna
Yes GOA LUG was great. But they too hope a lot from B-LUG. and we should meet to get things starting for big achivement.
Animesh.

Dear Trevor,
I agree with you 100 percent. If Mumbai cannot get any activity going, then who can? I can help with organizing speakers from the industry for the LUG meets.

I think once we have commercial value for mumbai glug, members themselves would come out of hibernation.

Dear All,
Can someone suggest me how to restrict websites from the Linux router (also used as proxy, using squid).
We are currently using URL based blocking where URL's containing certain words are blocked. However, this method of blocking websites is ineffective. For example, anyone on the n/w can easily browse www.danni.com as the URL does not contain objectionable words.
Any suggestion ?
Thanks Nikhil

Hi All,
For all those python fans, here's the link to a pretty good python tutorial:

What about distributing cheap Live cds during such events so that (students or any new users) can 'taste' linux without messing up with their current OS or configuration??
I think that we should exploit the possibilities of promoting linux by giving away live cds other then the normal distributions. Most of the windows users thinks linux is tough to install and use. Live cds could really impress them.

Thanks for the idea. It should be a pre-requisite in all such endeavours of ours.
