Re: [fsug-tvm] Software Freedom Day Celebrations 2014, Thiruvananthapuram

[Anoop John]

Hello,

> When you started with saying 'We' planned it is not clear who did what.

Sorry about the confusion. We as in - 'Zyxware' is coordinating the
Thiruvananthapuram edition of the SFD celebrations. ICFOSS is hosting the
event and is branding the event as being co-hosted by ICFOSS and
FSUG Thiruvananthapuram.

> I think first task is to bring FSUG to life

I think SFD celebrations should be an opportunity to come together and
brainstorm on how to revive activities in the community.

Thanks

[fsug-tvm] Software Freedom Day Celebrations 2014, Thiruvananthapuram

[Anoop John]

Hello,

Software Freedom Day 2014 is on September 20th. We are planning to organize
the SFD celebrations for Thiruvananthapuram at Press Club with a public
event showcasing some of the successful government level Free Software
implementations in Kerala. There will be talks by representatives from the
following government agencies who have migrated to Free Software in the past

a) IT@School
b) Khadi Board
c) KSEB
d) Niyamasabha

These organizations will also be recognized and felicitated by the IT
Secretary. The celebrations are scheduled to start at 3:00PM at the press
club. The event is being branded as being co-hosted by ICFOSS and FSUG
Thiruvananthapuram.

We are also planning to run GNU/Linux install fests in multiple colleges
around the event. If anybody is interested in volunteering for the event or
the install fests please let me know.

We believe that there will be queries from media and public on Free
Software applications. It would be good to have people who have experience
in diverse Free Software applications around to answer these queries.

If any of you have any ideas for posters please send over designs and we
can print those on A3 size sheets and have those displayed at the venue.

Additionally I believe that those of us who are in the group and who are in
and around Thiruvananthapuram can come together, have some fun and look at
reviving physical activities in the user group.

Thanks
Anoop

[fsug-tvm] On the issue of fsug-tvm website and activities

[Anoop John]

ctivities. We
have been slowly but steadily pursuing this over the last year or so and we
have started generating a revenue stream around Free Software services in
the local market. Moving forward we are looking to grow and expand this to
a viable commercial system and we invite people who are passionate about
Free Software to come join us in building this ecosystem around Free
Software.

I believe that Free Software works on the premise of reputation through
contribution. I believe Zyxware as an organization has made significant
contributions to the promotion of Free Software in Trivandrum, in the state
of Kerala and specifically through our RequestCD program (
http://www.zyxware.com/requestcd) across India. You could see some of our
documented Free Software contributions / activities here -
http://www.zyxware.com/categories/free-software. Some of the biggest
campaigns / activities included Freedom Walk (http://www.freedomwalk.in),
Freedom Toaster (http://www.freedomtoaster.in), Technopark Install Fest (
http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-kerala/linux-install-fest-at-technopark/article1322461.ece).
We also contribute significantly through our Drupal operations. I believe
that we might actually be the largest code contributor to the Drupal
project from India (https://www.drupal.org/marketplace/zyxware).

I cannot speak for the community as I am not currently playing an active
role in the local community. However as a long standing member /
contributor / activist in the Free Software community in Trivandrum I would
welcome anybody who is really interested and concerned about the Free
Software Users Group Trivandrum to come and revive the physical activities
around Free Software in Trivandrum and reinvigorate the community. Doing
that should allow volunteers in the community to get the website going
again.

[fsug-tvm] [X-Post] Open Mobile Workshop - invitation for speakers

[Anoop John]

Hello,

An open mobile workshop targeted at developers and students to introduce
them to open mobile platforms is planned to be held in Trivandrum, Kerala
in March.

I am interested in seeing if we can get some speakers to conduct sessions
on totally Free (Libre) mobile platforms (unencumbered by any kind of
restrictions and fully Free Software licensed) like Replicant, or Firefox
OS or any other similar platform.

If you know of developers who could take workshops on such fully open
platforms please pass on contact information to me and I can reach out to
these people. Please do note that I am not categorizing Android as a fully
open platform here (For example see -
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/02/new-android-oem-licensing-terms-leak-open-comes-with-restrictions/
)

There are going to be Android workshops as part of this event and it would
be good if we can get some speakers to represent and introduce fully open
platforms.

Thanks in advance for your help in this regard.

Thanks
Anoop

[fsug-tvm] [X-post] Invitation to FOSSMeet 2014

[Anoop John]

Hello,

Hope all of you are aware of FOSSMeet, the premier Free Software event in
Kerala organized by NIT Calicut annually.

FOSSMeet is not just an event for Free Software developers to come around
and sit in technical presentations, seminars and workshops but it is also
is an opportunity for Free Software activists across Kerala to come
together for 3 days, connect with each other, have fun and at the same time
brainstorm for other Free Software activities for the rest of the year. It
was during a FOSSMeet that we charted out the plan for the FreedomWalk
campaign (http://www.freedomwalk.in). So I know that it works. NIT Calicut
has a beautiful campus and it would be a worthwhile experience spending the
3 days at the campus thinking of nothing but FOSS.

This year's FOSSMeet is going to be held from 14th to 16th of February at
NIT Calicut. I will be presenting a session on Drupal on the 15th. You can
see the schedule at - http://fossmeet.in/2014/. More importantly I am
looking forward to meeting and connecting with new Free Software activists
from across Kerala. You can register online or walk in and register at the
event. The sessions have limited seats so you might want to register online
to book the seats. You could also walk in and register at the event if you
are not able to register online.

I know that this is probably a bit late to send this invitation for booking
railway tickets but I think you would still be able to get tatkal tickets
for the event. Of course you could get general tickets and sit / stand and
travel and come for the event, it would still be worth it :-)

Look forward to seeing at least some of you at the event.

Thanks

Re: [fsug-tvm] Asianet Auto Login Script

[Anoop John]

@All - I had to get the script working for a friend of mine and hence
was able to spend some time on this script again. The script should be
back in working condition now.

https://github.com/anoopjohn/Asianet-Auto-Login-Script

> I found that Anoop's script is too slow to log in to Asianet.

@Joji - there are a couple of things that the script does that makes
it a bit slow. One is that it waits for an ntpdate delay as well as an
asianet connection timeout delay before it attempts to connect. The
ntpdate is so that the free download hours are handled safely. But I
think that it can possibly be skipped for manual connection attempts.

The script is more than an auto connect script, it will try to keep
the connection alive, turn itself off and on for using the free hours
for downloads, run scripts after it starts and before it turns itself
off etc.

Re: [fsug-tvm] Asianet Auto Login Script

[Anoop John]

There is a small update regarding this auto login script. If anybody
is using this script they will have to make some small corrections to
make the script working. You can get the latest script from

https://github.com/anoopjohn/Asianet-Auto-Login-Script

The older version will no longer work as the script was polling for a
file from zyxware.com. The issue came into my attention when I saw
that somebody was abusing the script by checking connection status
every second instead of the 300 second set by default. This was found
to be rather heavy on the server and the service is no longer active
on zyxware.com server. Sorry about that. I will try to update the
script to some other mechanism that does not require accessing a URL.
I no longer use Asianet so this is not an immediate priority for me.
So those who are using this will have to figure out alternative ways
to check your connection status until the script is corrected.

Cheers
Anoop

[fsug-tvm] Forced Proprietary Standard by Trivandrum Corporation

[Anoop John]

I hope you would have seen media reports related to the insistence of
Corporation of Trivandrum on using AutoCAD for submission of
Architectural drawings to the Corporation.

I believe this is the page that mentions the technical details.

http://www.corporationoftrivandrum.in/BPMS.htm

Shouldn't we be submitting a protest to the Corporation and to the
State government regarding this?

Wait a second there :-)

I finally managed to get some time to spare for this and got this
issue fixed. I have posted the updates at



I have also posted the code on github so that anybody can take the
initiative to fix similar problems in the future. You can access the
project at



The changes have not gone through serious testing on GNU/Linux and any
testing on Windows. Any testing help would be appreciated.

I am a bit surprised (not a lot though) and disappointed that nobody
took any initiative to get this problem fixed for Junaise (and
possibly for several other people using the latest version of
OpenOffice).

[fsug-tvm] Need Free Software Project Ideas

[Anoop John]

Hello,

MBCET(Mar Baselios College of Engineering and Technology), Trivandrum,
is interested in making available a team of 4 students to work on a
Free Software project starting from June 2010 till March 2011 as part
of  their final year project.

The only conditions that they are putting forward are

a) The project will have to be on a Free Software Application

b) The project should have some real relevance in terms of the number
of people who could potentially benefit from this.

c) The students will have to be mentored by the community. There will
however be an official guide from the college.

d) The project will have to be approved by the college before it starts off.

Can we please bring up some ideas for a project to which we can
contribute in this model.

This is a novel model and this is something which we have been looking
forward to for quite some time. That is, to be able to, tap into the
Engineering student community and utilize the three (or more) months
they get to spend on final year projects for contributing to Free
Software projects.

Cheers
Anoop John

Subject: Request to give us the permission for archiving mails of Free
Software Users Group


Dear FSUG-TVM maintainers,

          My name is Sandip Patel and I am one of the FOSS
enthusiastic in India. My teammates Hardik, Gaurav, Venish, Terence
and I are maintaining a FOSS community Website aimed at increasing the
awareness of Free and Open Source Software.

          Our Website, "The GNULinux Community Portal - www.gnulinux.in"
contains information about number of free and open source software
products, in addition to addressing specific concerns such as software
products technicals, user problems and solutions. We also provide
platform to share FOSS related job ads, share your art images under CC
license, useful links and download files. We are also planing to
include feature like FOSS business where FOSS entrepreneurs can share
their experience with community users.

          As part of this initiative we are inviting FOSS experts to
share their stories. We hope that sharing these stories of courage and
determination within our Website will help us convey the importance of
FOSS to our visitors, while providing valuable insight that they might
not otherwise obtain.

          We have been reading your mailing list posts since long, we
appreciate the quality of conversations you and mailing list members
are maintaining. To make this knowledge available for our site members
and visitors, with your permission, we would like to archive your
mailing list mails within our Website. It will be available as forum
posts in "GLUG (GNU/Linux User Groups) -->  ilug-tvm(Free Software

original author. Our aim is to aggregate qualitative data from quality
mailing lists/lugs and make it available to open ended FOSS community
users.

           If you have any questions regarding our initiative,
preferred confidentiality, copyright, or anything else, please feel
free to contact us. We hope to hear from you!

Strange request eh? :-)

A group of 14 students who are coming for the SCI-PY conference are

http://hplipopensource.com says that is is partly supported.

Did you test what Prasad had suggested?

Also try printing out a plain text document to make sure that you are
not trying to print out grey shades or other tints that require color
cartridges.

The printer is an old model and people have been reporting it to be
working since dapper -
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=313326.

Did you try another distro? I believe you might be able to try
printing from different distros using their respective live CDs/DVDs.
I have not tried that strategy though.

[fsug-tvm] [OT][X-Post][Commercial]Low cost Free Software CD/DVD distribution service

[Anoop John]

Hi,

For the last two years Zyxware has been successfully running a low
cost Free Software CD/DVD distribution service at
http://www.zyxware.com/requestcd. People across India have been
utilizing this service to get access to the different Free Software
Operating Systems and other Free Software packages without having to
download them from the internet. Although we were running the service
at an at-cost policy and we did not promote it other than through the
user groups, it had succeeded in reaching to different parts across
the country. We are extremely grateful to the people who have helped
us in spreading the word about the RequestCD service.

We had to take down the old system as part of upgrading our site and
we have re-launched the Request CD service under an online shop at
Zyxware.com. The requestcd URL <http://www.zyxware.com/requestcd> will
take you directly to the list of Free Software distributions and
packages available from us. There are currently around 250 different
distributions, versions and full repositories available.

If you do not see a Free Software OS distributions or repository
online at the shop you can please let us know by email at
reques...@zyxware.com and we will try to download and add them to the
list.

If you like this service I would humbly request you to consider
blogging/twittering about the service and help us spread the word
about it. I hope that you will continue to find our Free Software
services useful and help us in spreading the power of Free Software
across the country. I look forward to hearing your
feedback/comments/suggestions.

Cheers
Anoop John

I am specifically looking for people who are committed enough and
interested enough to learn and work directly under my supervision from
my office (Zyxware 2) on a part-time basis. If you already know the
technologies you wouldn't have to be around physically but if you
don't, physical presence would make the whole process much easier.

I will be replying personally to those people who have responded to me directly.

That is a great idea. I think several tens of thousands of people
would visit the onam mela there. We should be able to reach out to a
very large audience. But we should have enough volunteers to handle
such a big crowd. Also we will need to get the permission to set up
stalls there.

That would be good. We can compile the manuals that we have created
and print it out and get it ready. We will need funds for this right?

I think we should also provide a list of fully supported laptops. I
know most can be configured but we should promote the most Free
Software compliant ones and those that work straight out of the box.

[fsug-tvm] [OT]Opportunity to meet with Canonical India head Prakash Advani

[Anoop John]

Hi,

Canonical Partner Manager for Asia and person in-charge of Canonical
India - Prakash Advani - will be in Trivandrum on 28th and 29th. He is
interested in meeting with members of the community. We can try to
arrange for a meeting on the 29th evening at 5PM at Kanakakkunnu if
there are enough interested participants. This would be good
opportunity to talk with somebody inside Canonical and get first hand
information about Ubuntu/Canonical.

Aren't there any takers for this project. Here is somebody who is
willing to pay somebody from the community to do some work on Free and
Open Technologies. I am sure there must be somebody in here capable
enough and interested enough to take this up.

Unless there are people or companies in the community who can rise up
to solve problems faced by commercial establishments, it is going to
be a tough road ahead in coaxing enterprises to move to using Free and
Open technologies.

I think you were following the instructions on how to set up Malayalam

the process should still be the same.

[fsug-tvm] How to reply to questions in wrong threads

[Anoop John]

Dear all,

When somebody posts a question in a wrong thread, open a new thread,
include the relevant content from the poster, and reply to the
question in the new thread. Please do not send replies to questions in
wrong thread.

When somebody posts a question in a new thread with a subject line
that does not make sense, for eg: 'Help Me', create a new thread like
mentioned above with a valid subject line and reply. Do not reply to
the above thread. If at all you do, it must be a gentle reminder to
the user to not please do that and on what the correct way is.

For those who are asking new questions - please start a new thread by
composing a new mail to ilug-tvm@googlegroups.com instead of replying
to an existing message from the group. Also please make sure that you
have put a relevant subject line to help you get answers to the
questions faster. Avoid using short titles

Cheers
Anoop

[fsug-tvm] Moderation on the List and List Policy Guidelines

[Anoop John]

Dear All,

There has been some recent discussions about the moderation on this
list. Ours is effectively a non-moderated mailing list. Only new list
members are moderated. This means that only spam content gets taken
out of the list before it reaches the members. And there has been
quite a lot of spam that we clean up almost on a daily basis. There
could have been a few slip ups in this regard but I think that it has
been done reasonably well given the number of spam mails that have
been filtered out.

The problems under question are off topic mails and flame wars. These
two are bound to happen in a non-moderated mailing list and the only
way in which we can completely stop these two is to moderate the list.

Another character of list has been that we have quite a few first time
users and users who do not have experience on other Free Software
mailing lists. I believe that it is the collective responsibility of
the senior members of the list to guide these people when they make
mistakes. I have done this in the past off the list. Off-the-list
because I think that is easier on the person who makes the mistake. If
there are repeat offenders or people who intentionally disrupts that
harmony in the group we can think about moderating those specific
people.

The easiest way to stop flame wars and off topic threads is to ignore
the thread. Answering these threads would only add fuel to the flame.
There is only one thread management option available in google groups
- i.e. to stop a thread which would stop allowing replies to the
thread. We have not been exercising that option so far but if that is
a general consensus we can start doing that. There is no other option
like renaming threads or tagging threads or anything like that which
can help users filter threads based on moderator action.

The general request to people is to mark topics with [OT] in the
subject line so that members of the list can chose to ignore these
mails if they want to.

Setting too rigid policies on the list would be detrimental in
bringing hesitant members to join and become active in the group. But
at the same time, loose policies would lead to busy but capable
members getting irritated and leaving the group. From the perspective
of promoting free software I think the group should be inviting enough
for new members but at the same time interesting enough for
experienced guys to be part of. But experienced people can always take
a rational decision to be part of the group for the sake of promoting
Free Software even at the cost of a little inefficiency.

The following has been the unofficial guidelines for posting topics to
the group.
http://kandalaya.org/guidelines.html

I therefore request all of you members out there to involve youselves
in a community based guidance (and moderation effort) to keep this
group growing and meaningful at the same time.

Cheers
Anoop

If you can get the ppd files from the rpm packages you can choose ppd
from the add printer interface.

You can convert rpm to .deb using alien

Or worst case try turbo print - will allow 300dpi in evaluation mode

What Sasikumar Sir said is absolutely correct. This is also what
happens when we conduct public install fests. Yes we will be able to
install Free Software on 20-30 or even 100 systems but the impact in
terms of awareness and publicity is more massive and contributes much
more in the long run.

I hope there will at least be a few from this group at Museum tomorrow
to keep the correlation between Free Software and social commitment
high :-).

[fsug-tvm] [OT]Museum Clean-Up to build Awareness on Waste Problems

[Anoop John]

Hi,

A few us have decided to do something about the huge waste management
problem that our society is facing. Since the root cause of this
problem is a lack of awareness/sensitivity towards this issue, we are
planning to build some awareness around this cause. As part of this we
are organizing a Museum Clean Up drive this coming Sunday at 4PM.

Read more at 

If you are interested do join us and have some fun cleaning up the
museum compound. Also there is a mailing list running at
frie...@tidycity.org. You can join by sending a mail to
friends-subscr...@tidycity.org.

I think I found the problem. Your locale is not set to India. I will
try to modify the code to make the date validation locale independent.
But you can solve your problem by setting your locale to English IN.
Thanks for your persistence :-)

Thank you for taking the initiative to test the template and for

Regarding the initial message about upgrading, it should be OK to
ignore and continue.

The error is a valid error 01/23/2009 is an invalid date. Valid date
format is DD-MM- ie. 23-01-2009

The spreadsheet is working for me.

Can you please download and try the 0.9.1 template again and see if it
works. You will have to set macro security to medium or low to be able
to use the template. Also can somebody please verify and report the
error message you get when you try to open the template in openoffice

[fsug-tvm] Re: FSUG meetings

[Anoop John]

I am not a big fan of formalizing anything even if it be meetings. Yes
I agree that fixed timings and fixed venue is an added convenience for
people in finding the place and coming over. But we have not really
had that many consistent attendees to really be able to fix meeting
time and venue and expect good turnouts.

Fixing venue seems to be ok but fixing the date and time is not quite
something that we are yet ready for IMHO. Fixing a time is going to
sacrifice the convenience of the regular attendees and cost us in
terms of valuable physical volunteer base. I think we should start
looking at a fixed time when we have at least 20 regular attendees to
the meeting. Till then going by the general consensus in terms of the
timing is, I think, the better option.

BTW, I totally agree with Syam. Why cant people find the Mandapam and
come over. There are not too many Mandapams behind the palace anyway.

[fsug-tvm] Re: OpenOffice Spreadsheet Template for KVAT Filing

[Anoop John]

@Sreenadh - Thanks for the feedback and the detailed bug reports

Regarding the first issue, if you pass the name of a file to the
Function Dir, it will return true but this will cause subsequent
problems when trying to create the files.

Can you please try with a newer version of OpenOffice. The third issue
you reported does not exist in OpenOffice.org 2.4.

I have included the second suggestion into the template but am not
releasing a new version as this is only a cosmetic change. Or did the
oCell.AbsoluteName not work in your version of OpenOffice?

I have added this requirement for OpenOffice 2.4+ on the site :-)

Cheers
Anoop John

I believe all the work done by the Government using public funds is
supposed to be Free (as in Freedom) as per the IT policy. So I am
issuing my derived work under GPL. I have made the modifications on
the site as well.

[fsug-tvm] How to promote Free Software Activism over the Internet

[Anoop John]

Hello,

There have been lots of links thrown into the mailing list regarding
issues which we have to contribute and support but we have not been
very effective in doing that. I realized that this might not be
because people are not interested but probably because people don't
know the right strategy to do this.

I would like to share with you a few pointers on how to effectively
promote Free Software Activism indirectly over the internet. This is
in addition to getting directly involved in Free Software events and
activities

Attitude
- Build an attitude of inquisitiveness and collect facts and
information related to the topic
- Be bold and state your opinion in online forums and discuss
- Take initiative to spread the word
- Build a strong online profile for yourself and make your voice be heard.

Tools
- Participate in Online Communities, Mailing Lists
- Use Social Networking Sites for your cause
- Effectively use Social Bookmarking and help the items get public attention
- Blog about the event, activity, activism
- Mail your friends about the item posted in the blog and ask them to
link to you
- Link to other blogs and sites where the topic is being discussed

You can read in detail at
<http://www.thondomraughts.com/2009/01/how-to-promote-activism-over-internet.html>

You seem to have a few unresolvable errors. Did you have a partial
upgrade done recently?

Run the following commands and see if it changes anything

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get upgrade

Run
sudo apt-get update
and then try to install it again

libflac++6 is present in hardy main repository. So there should not be a problem

Also go to synaptic and search for libflac++6 and see what it says.

The code is available at Zyxware. We will be publishing it on

by to get your copy.

It is written in python and it is "running to win" :-) on GNU/Linux

member of this group.

What is a GNU/LUG (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_User_Group)
-

A GNU/Linux User Group or GNU/Linux Users\\47 Group (GLUG) is a
private, generally non-profit or not-for-profit organization that
provides support and/or education for GNU/Linux users, particularly
for inexperienced users. ilug-tvm is the GNU/Linux user group for
Trivandrum. We are actively promoting all and any free software
including and not exclusively GNU/Linux

What can you expect to gain by being a member of glug-tvm
-

* If you are a novice user you will be able to get all the help you
need in installing, configuring and using GNU/Linux and other free
software.

* If you are student or an IT professional you will stand out among
the crowd by being a member of this group. Its a value add to the
resume.

* Your way of thinking about the technology industry will take a
positive turn by being involved in the discussions that happen in this
group.

* You will always have an edge when compared to peers of equal skill
set when companies have to decide between you and your peers - just
because you participated in a GLUG. Again its not just going to be
because you were part of this group, but because you would have gained
some special skills unknowingly once you get involved in GLUG and FSF
activities.

* You are helping the whole technology industry to innovate and grow
in the right way

* If you intend to contribute  back to the community by working
together as a group, you will find like minded people here.

* Through participating in Free Software Communities you will grow
more passionate about technology and this passion is going to build
your expertise in the technologies that you use.

* Finally it is going to be lot of fun as this is a mostly technical,
highly informal and wholly democratic group of very enthusiastic
people.

Once again welcome to the group and we invite you to start shooting
your questions and concerns about Free Software to this group.

Warm Regards

Anoop John
