Re: [Ilugc] [FYI] FOSS School in Delhi
Could we start by approaching Government schools in Chennai and take permission to conduct sessions on FOSS during weekends? I wanted to know if there is any site which would provide FOSS and Linux quiz questions for high school students Thank You Anupama On Sat, Jul 10, 2010 at 1:08 AM, Arulalan T arulal...@gmail.com wrote: Dear Friends, Mr.Parin Sharma conducted FOSS workshop in school at Delhi.

To: iitd...@googlegroups.com, poster...@lug-iitd.posterous.com Recently on 30th June 2010, I got an opportunity to give back something to my school, my Alma mate with FOSS !! Below is a small story how things started and went I had this thing in my mind for quite some time, schools are the places where we are taught basic morals, etiquette, sharing things, knowledge and other good things but unfortunately most of the Schools in India teach Proprietary software like MS Windows, Office and other Adobe stuff like Flash etc. so was the case with my school, DAV CPS[1], Paschim Enclave, New Delhi. So I talked to Anand Wardhan sir, one of the best teachers, I have met in my life!! Although, he is an Economics teacher but still he understood my point when I told him about FOSS Stuff and he immediately agreed for a workshop in School. So it was 30th June, the day I was eagerly waiting for but was a bit nervous too because it was for teachers!! OMG, now I had to present something to teachers to who taught me some years back but I knew it will be good!! So it was 11:45, and I started, first telling about FOSS history and then its advantages, then SchoolOS[2] but since I had just 1hr or so, I had to quickly jump to the Demo Educational FOSSI started with Maths S/w like Kig then showed Chemistry tools and I tried to show almost every subject related FOSS but as always I fell short of time and had to wind up my presentation showing FET and Dia Diagram Editor, but as a start, it was enough, the teachers were all smiling, blessing me!! It was a wonderful experience many teacher in particular my chem teacher asked me to install BKChem and other chem S/w asap because she found them really helpful! Overall it was awesome but this is not it, I want things to get implemented asap, want students and teachers to use FOSS!! Looking forward to it...All I wanna tell everyone reading this, seriously its a beautiful experience doing something for your school, your people!! Try it this summer go back to your previous schools and tell them about Freedom that you get when you use FOSS, so that the next gen coming can live in a pure Free World!

There are many ways to accomplish this without ssh passwordless login. I use a tool called rdiff-backup. You can either NFS mount the partition from the remote machine or install the same version of rdiff-backup on the remote machine and do a network backup. The other thing to do would be installing duplicity in which case you will need ssh login or you could even avoid it if you use ftp or http with duplicity. -Girish ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

[Ilugc] [OT]Thanks ILUG for making DevCamp Chennai a success
Hi all, Today Chennai hosted its first ever DevCamp in ThoughtWorks office. We had a good turnout - around 125 external audience and another 30 people within the company which includes me. We had topics related to Amazon Cloud (AWS), Google Cloud (GAE), Google Big Table, HTML5 CSS3 (by Opera developer), Continuous Integration TDD, Text Mining, Design Patterns, Robotics through OpenSource hardware (!), JSONP, Introduction to Scala, Refactoring and code smells, Scaling AWS cloud and some more. Thanks to Shrinivasan T, who took a session on Making money out of OpenSource software (I hope i got the title right) and I met few other members of ILUG-C such as Arulalan, Shiv Deepak. A big hi sorry to other ILUG-C members who came but whom I couldn't meet - Vatsala was one among them I guess. Some of them had to leave for ILUG-C's monthly meet. Hopefully you guys can participate for the whole day for the next DevCamp - which might happen sooner than we expect :) Thanks, Balaji (@openbala) ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
