 Imagine you publish a book. Is it fair that anybody who buys your book has
 full right to edit your book at their whim and re-publish it as they like?
 In other words, why is it so that, what's considered plagiarism in the
 publishing industry, is considered as an ideal ethic in software industry?

 1) Scriptwriter (1) - Obviously, the person  giving the movie the
 cause for it to exist.  He/she should make a summary of the story, a
 scipt and then finally, a shot-by-shot  breakdown. He should co-work
 with the director  and storyboard artist, and make it possible to  be
 made into the a movie, without any later  second thoughts or
 deviations. On a side note,  the software he can use for the entire
 project  can be Celtx (www.celtx.com). Its an awesome  free software
 that can be used for script  writing, planning and rough
 storyboarding. I've  been playing around for a while and I believe
 nothing short of it will be more valuable to us.  Once the script is
 completed, it should not be  changed, and the scriptwriter need not be
 there  during the production of the movie.

 1) Producer  (more better term would be  co-ordinator)- Just as
 important, here, he  should keep the production of the movie in
 check, get volunteers, arrange for facilities  and support that
 publicity aspect of the movie.  But I believe, in the case of a
 community-collaborated movie, things will  change.

 2) Director (1) - Should have complete  dictatorial control over every
 aspect of the  film. Ofcourse, this is after a certain possible  votes
 can be taken over film elements. But this  is mainly to avoid
 inconsistent stylization of  the movie and chaos over several peoples
 likes  and dislies. He should know, or have a solid  idea on
 everything that takes to make a motion  picture, from software, to
 techniques.

 3) Art Director aka Concept artist/Storyboard  artist (1)- Should work
 closely with the  Director and Scriptwriter to create with what  the
 director has in mind. He should create the  character designs,
 enviroment designs, matte  paints, and every single scene, to
 understand  camera angles, color tones, staging and space.  The better
 the art is, the more closely can the  final product be matched to the
 concept.  Softwares he can use include MyPaint, GIMP (with  GPS) or
 Krita or anything else that can handle  painting and complex image
 editing. GIMP+Mypaint  is reliable combo and I can personally vouche
 for them.



I think I can help on screen play and story board.

Central government funds for IT enabling Electricity boards. It stated
Kerala is going to loss the fund support from central government, since KSEB

Hi,

GIMP is bit tough to teach students of 5th standard. Well, just teach
them about brushes, selection and cropping. The basic. Don't go in
detail. The tool named pinta could be a replacement for MS Paint like
tools. I really suggest to introduce GIMP as a digital canvas, than a
photo editor to students.

Introducing Gcompris and Gbrainy to kids will also be useful.

 I dont know whether you understand the problem or not. Most of the
 times its ok for me since i am using either firefox or evolution to
 read my mails. But occasionally i will end up having only CLI(i think

 able to go through e mails, answer or reply queries, or search for
 solutions to fix problems.

Not just CLI.

1. People with dark gmail themes. (pravi.a, his first mail should be

2. People who uses clients, with dark themes.
3. And who uses mobile browsers. (I accidentally had to. painful in

I am not reading my text book before examination, to focus only on

The solution is simple, use plain text.
Italics and bold also are irritating.

 thanks, evrybody again,
 @ Hiran, Rich texting is my policy to attract to specific points, when am
 typing longer than a tweet.I am sticking to my issue: Readability(part of
 userfriendliness). subscribing to anoops(be the change philosophy in
 smaller issues :) ) I will simply text it if I have a better reason  [I hope
 i didnt use any offensive formatting ? :) ]

Background color, text color, different text size, italics, bold. All
in a paragraph!
Thanks for not using underlines and strike through. :)

Personally my experience says it never attracts to read.

Re: [fsug-tvm] Open Projects!!!

2009-11-26 Thread Hiran Venugopalan
Hi,

2009/11/25 jeevachaithanyan sivanandan jeevan...@gmail.com:
 Jeevachaithanyan S
 Java(medium),python(newbie).

 Proposed project:- An open project to build up Traffic Monitoring System

Start it!
Go to some project sites like Sourceforge or Google Code or Savannah,
make the description and details and how to be part of development.
Inform mailing lists, who likes your idea will come and will start
contribute to project. Being a person with skill in java and python
and so enthusiastic to contribute , it won't be a tough thing for you
to initiate and maintain a project. As Manilal said, follow some other
project and be a part of it whichever project you like to know how it
works and collaborates. There are books like producingoss.com which
would help to know the way. (I am sorry, I am talking all these
thinking your are not yet a core dev of any FOSS project who codes a
ton and gits a dozen time a day.)

Well, there is a point in what Aashik said - think whether the new
project idea could be incorporated with any existing one, or made as a
module to some existing FOSS projects. This feature makes FOSS
beautiful, Is n't it?

And if you mail was just meant to make an Idea Collective, where
people can search for what do FOSS needs, well, we can have a wiki
for tracking those ideas. (I am not sure, we have something like that.
Huge projects have to-do/ wish / GSoC idea lists inside themselves.)

Simple. Make the project up, Don't wait for the crowd. Crowd will
follow. Who knows whether this project is going to be in the list of
top 10 FOSS tool in 2011!

If you are still in dark, Reply to the thread. ;)

Re: [fsug-tvm] Lost Pidgin contacts :( HELP

2009-11-25 Thread Hiran Venugopalan
2009/11/25 Srihari k harisult...@gmail.com:

 Now i don't have any of my Google-talk id's contact listed in pidgin,I
 cant chat to them,they are deleted in other clients too(i don't see
 those contacts in my mobile's client too).

 SO what can i do to bring them back to pidgin?
 i have all the contacts intact in my evolution and gmail.


Are you sure that your gmail contains all your contacts? It is not a
Pidgin only change. It impacts the server. (You can change name and
contact details from pidgin, that will make change your Google
contacts)

Check if gmail have them. If not import from Evolution to gmail. (I
think, it has an archive) Also check deleting the account from pidgin
and adding it again.

 In our college celebrations, one guy is given charge to design poster
 using Photoshop. But, I want to override him and design it in Gimp and
 show the power of free software. But, i don't have enough exposure in
 Gimp. So, can someone here help me out and upload the source here?


use inkscape.
make a drawing, set size to a4/a3
put images writing what ever you want
make it a pdf (using save a copy as)
and print!

[fsug-tvm] Re: font forge not working.

2009-08-14 Thread Hiran Venugopalan
2009/8/13 nibin bhaskaran nibinbhaska...@gmail.com


 installed font forge in fedora 11. when opening it and selects NEW, it
 automatically closes.
 and in terminal shows an error that existed in the font list but when
 i asked for it there was nothing. I may crash soon


its seg fault.

have you used it at least once?  if so delete the .fontforge directory from
your home.

I suggest to get tarball of the latest from FF website.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fontforge/files/fontforge-source/20090622/fontforge_full-20090622.tar.bz2/download


 any chance to make it correct.?
