Hi,
There is now an Indian Zope and Python User Group. The mailing list is hosted at YahooGroups: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/izpug
To subscribe, please send a blank message to izpug-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
For the uninitiated, Python is arguably the coolest programming language there is, and Zope is that same coolness applied to Web development.
Dear members,
recently we have downloaded new stuff in the ftp site of the group (ftp.ilug-bom.org.in). These are the contents:
Documentation: -------------- HOWTO's in single and several html pages LDP (it is being right now, it will take a little while to finish)
Sources: --------
kernel version 2.2.20 kernel version 2.4 (all files and patches) kernel version 2.5.0 and 2.5.1
Distributions: --------------
debian 2.2 release 4, with non-free and non-US as well and proposed updates gentoo linux-router redhat-7.2 (ISO images)
There is some space left (about 6GB). Please send me your suggestions about what else I can download. Some people said Debian/woody and Debian/Hurd. Any other idea?

Just a few suggestions. Please keep a file, say README, - having the MD5 sums of the files hosted - which has a link to the original site from where you downloaded these. - that points to the appropriate e-mail address to send any suggestions/improvements/requirements. - that urges the person who is downloading to compute the MD5 sum to ensure that the it is not a trojan-ed binary.
These suggestions applicable only to the directories holding sources/binaries.
Thanks to all of you who sent suggestions about the ftp site. A couple of remarks and questions.
First of all, Openoffice xfs file system are being dowloaded right now.
Secondly, I will see if I can mirror more Debian distributions, it will depend on the disk space.
About the README file:

I got the MD5 sums of the redhat distribution and they match the files in our site. I have put the file. What about the rest? Do you mean that I should computer the md5 sums (many sites do not provide this information)? Please let me know and I will compute it if needed; it is a very good idea.
- which has a link to the original site from where you downloaded these.
You can find it in sources.txt and sources.html

Cool. :-) I just hope that everyone who downloads from the site, really does the checksumming before burning the CD(s).
What about the rest? Do you mean that I should compute the md5 sums
Before putting up the ISOs for public download, they should be MD5-checksumed so as to be sure that the binary is not corrupted and to ensure that it is not a trojan.
(many sites do not provide this information)?
I am surprised to know that many sites don't provide such MD5 sums. _All_ mirrors are supposed to have the MD5 sums of the goodies they host, especially source/binaries. Nevertheless, you can get the MD5 sums at LinuxISO: http://www.linuxiso.org/
Please let me know and I will compute it if needed; it is a very good idea.
Thanks for taking the suggestion. :-)

I would vote for an i386 mirror of all the stuff from debian, including woody, sid, hurd etc. Is the space enough for such a mirror?

I second the suggestion.
