Hmm, I doubt any real FOSS project will be managed by people from just

But yes, if I change your question to "Name a famous FOSS project

Anjuta (the C/C++ IDE) and GNUSim8085 (the 8085 emulator).

[ubuntu-in] Shutting down the forums

2011-01-07 Thread Pratul Kalia

Hello there!

As per the recent discussions we have had on the IRC channel, it has 
come to light that the forums are mostly a spam hotbed and are not 
helping the community in any way. The community mostly interacts on the 
mailing list and the IRC channel.


This has led us to the decision that we should close the forums. Since 
there is nothing archive-worthy on the forums, I'm going to take a 
backup of the database (just in case) and take them down.


If anyone has any point to make, you have time till 9th Jan 2359 hrs IST.

Eh. Maybe for the time 15 years ago, but not for 2010. Nothing admirable 
or sensible in using it now.

Its a shame that 90% colleges across India *still* use it to teach C/C++ 
programming. That's 90% of our CS workforce learning a 15 year old 
programming standard, and they don't even realize it.

I'm not sure we should split out the discussions to a separate list. 
Lets keep all activity to one list (this one), makes it easier for 
everyone to contribute.

The code however, should be fine in launchpad or elsewhere. Personally,

Sorry I'm contributing a little late here, but I'm with a GPRS 
connection right now, so replies will be slow.

It's great to see a redesign initiative in accordance with the new color 
scheme and UI of Ubuntu. I had led the forum redesign the last time, the 
awesome theme you see on forum.ubuntu-in.info right now was done by 
Narinder. (Are you still on list, Narinder?)

I have a couple of thoughts about this initiative. Essentially, we need 
2 things: a theme for the Mediawiki installation and a theme for the 
bbpress forum installation.
- Since our bbpress custom theme, I've had requests from other Ubuntu 
communities asking for our forum theme. I realize it would have been 
much easier for them, if the theme was in a git/hg/bzr repository somewhere.
- The Mediawiki theme will need to be tested really well, because the 
wiki is our main LoCo "face". This new theme should also be in an open 
source repo somewhere.

Unfortunately, I can't help with the redesign *itself* this time, but if 
there is any related thing I can assist with, I'll be sure to chip in. 
Of course, I'll keep an eye on all the redesign threads.


Great going folks!

What kind of association? As far as I know, Ubuntu does no formal

make a Linux Users Group and help each other out. For everything else,
there's a whole world wide web out there :)

Bah, sue them and get what? Tell them to sell Linux pre-loaded

those are not the ones that come under Education discounts. He'll only
get hackled by the college authorities if he does that.

You can find numerous guides on the web for dual booting with OS X
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/) but if you want to use
Linux, I don't recommend you get a Mac. The hardware is quite weird
and is built to be used with Mac OS. You will have small/big issues
that will keep nagging you :-) Instead, get a Windows machine, format
and use with Linux. Whee!

Even though such statements usually attract flame wars (which I have a
lot of interest in ;-), I'll give my opinion here anyway. I've been
using OS X for almost a year now (before using Ubuntu for almost 4
years) and I find Ubuntu far easier and fun to use than Mac OS. Even
though the UI of Mac OS is quite good, there are other kinks in the OS
(and general ones that closed-source OS' usually have) that simply
don't exist in Ubuntu or other Linux distros.

Um, I don't know why I'm increasingly seeing this happen but its not

Its GNU/Linux and Ubuntu :-) Linux is not an acronym, nor is Ubuntu.

[ubuntu-in] Forums back up, new design!

2009-03-12 Thread Pratul Kalia
Hey everyone

The forums are back up again on http://forum.ubuntu-in.info/ !
We lost the previous user data that was on SMF, since we kept getting
random attacks on the site even though the SMF versions were kept
updated regularly. So, this time we've gone with another forum system
called bbPress. bbPress is by the same people who make WordPress, so I
am assured its quite safe and stable. Also, as I find, the codebase is
very simple, efficient and clean. There is a significant improvement
in the performance of the site. I assure everyone that such a thing
(losing our data) will not happen again.

On the bright side, we also have a new design for the forum! The
design was put together by Ajinkya is just *one* day, and he's done a
great job of making them look very Ubuntu-ish. Thanks for the work,
Ajinkya! :-) Constructive comments are welcome.

As with other distros, you can also install multiple desktop
environments in Ubuntu. Simply install the requisite KDE3 or KDE4
packages from the repository, and then when you login, you can choose
what session to run (Gnome or KDE or any other) from your login menu.

See http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde for a guide (hasn't been
updated to the latest version of Ubuntu but the process is the same.)
No need of a dual-boot.

community of young and vibrant enthusiasts that sets us apart from
every other conference in the country. At OSScamp Delhi, you'll find
what we call "planned chaos" (It's an unconference after all!). Even
though there are no structures, no rules, yet we share a common
philosophy – to contribute to each other, so that everyone gains; and
that is what we do at every camp.

Come join us at OSScamp this September in Delhi, and let us click
buttons and punch keys together! Register for the event at
http://osscamp.in/event/osscamp-delhi-september-2008 and yes, it
wouldn't hurt if you could get us some sponsors :-D

Re: [ubuntu-in] [ANNOUNCEMENT] Ubuntu India Site moved

2008-08-05 Thread Pratul Kalia
Awesome! I hope my theme will be ready in a while too.
Some points of note I want to put:

1. How come ubuntu-in.info working? That domain is ours too? :-P
2. Can we do some CNAME change, so that forum is accessible from
forum.ubuntu-in.org? The TechJugaad URL is kinda weird.
3. Yaay!
