Here is my summary, First of all i was astonished to see a good crowd in this meet, When i went in there Mr. Chandrashekar Babu was introducing ruby programming language to the attendees. He compared the features of perl,shell scripts, python with ruby. He very much emphasised the readability of the ruby language.Then he spoke about the garbage collection techniques used by the ruby interpretor (reference count garbage collection) . I request him to share the examples with the list members. Some examples include threading, sockets, number crunching , string processing, freezing an object etc. Then Mr.Suki Venkat of TNQ Publications spoke about MuLTiFlow, a XUL based the text editor for scientific and technical writing. Multiflow supports SVG and math symbols. The editor is packaged as a xpi file (firefox add-on ). You can also run MuLTiFlow as a standalone application by extracting the xpi file and running the following command 'xulrunner application.ini'. The whole editor is a javascript hack by Mr.Suki and his team. Then we discussed about SFD, the number of stalls, volunteers etc. Mr. M.Sivakumar wanted to spread the news about SFD to the common public, so he and couple of folks have agreed to volunteer for the media and social media promotion. It was almost dark when the meet got over. -- Arun S.A.G ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

[Ilugc] randtype in perl python and shell
For those of you who have been following LUG you would have seen my
perl randtype script.
I wrote in shell and python too.
$ cat randtype.sh
lines=`wc -l /etc/passwd | tr -s ' ' | cut -d' ' -f2`
lineno=1
while [ $lineno -ne $lines ];
do
lineno=`expr $lineno + 1`
line=`sed -n ${lineno}p /etc/passwd`
charsinline=`echo $line | wc -c | tr -s ' ' | cut -d' ' -f2`
charcnt=1
while [ $charcnt -ne $charsinline ];
do
chartoprint=`echo -n $line | cut -c${charcnt}`
echo -n $chartoprint
sleep 0.12
charcnt=`expr $charcnt + 1`
done
echo
done
$ cat randtype.py
import time
import os
import sys
f=open(/etc/passwd)
lines=f.readlines()
sys.stdout = os.fdopen(sys.stdout.fileno(), 'w', 0)
for line in lines:
# First indentation level
for char in line:
# indent all following lines with a tab
time.sleep(0.02)
#print slept
sys.stdout.write(char)

Re: [Ilugc] randtype in perl python and shell
Hi!
$ cat randtype.sh
lines=`wc -l /etc/passwd | tr -s ' ' | cut -d' ' -f2`
lineno=1
while [ $lineno -ne $lines ];
do
lineno=`expr $lineno + 1`
line=`sed -n ${lineno}p /etc/passwd`
charsinline=`echo $line | wc -c | tr -s ' ' | cut -d' ' -f2`

while [ $charcnt -ne $charsinline ];

Way too complicated! Here's a simplified version of the script:
-8- cut below --8--
#!/bin/bash
SIZE=$(stat -c %s $1)
for ((i=0; iSIZE; i++))
do
read -n1 CHAR
test -z $CHAR echo || echo -n $CHAR
sleep 0.1
done $1
--8- cut till above line 8
Save as slowtype.sh and make it executable. Run as below:
./slowtype.sh /etc/passwd
$ cat randtype.py
import time
import os
import sys
f=open(/etc/passwd)
lines=f.readlines()
sys.stdout = os.fdopen(sys.stdout.fileno(), 'w', 0)
for line in lines:
# First indentation level
for char in line:
# indent all following lines with a tab
time.sleep(0.02)
#print slept
sys.stdout.write(char)
The above code is completely non-pythonic (looks like a
C program written in python!). The following code must be
succinct and simpler enough:
8--- cut below - 8-
#!/usr/bin/env python
import time
import sys
for char in sys.stdin.read():
sys.stdout.write(char)
sys.stdout.flush()
time.sleep(0.1)
-- 8--- cut till above -- 8--
Save the above script as slowtype.py and make it executable.
Run the script as below:
./slowtype.py /etc/passwd
The same code in ruby would be something like below (even
simpler versions could be possible):
- 8 cut below --- 8--
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
STDIN.read.each_char do |c|
STDOUT.write c
STDOUT.flush
sleep 0.1
end
- 8-- cut till above 8---
Save the above script as slowtype.rb and make it executable.
Run the script as below:
./slowtype.rb /etc/passwd
Cheers,
Chandrashekar.

Re: [Ilugc] ILUGC Monthly Meet (August 14th) Request for to sum up the Minutes of a meeting
Again, ILUGC meet made a history. Yes. The participants count is 70 :-) Thanks to all. We started at 3.20 PM. we have to make it sharp at 3 in the upcoming meetings. Raman stated with the meeting information with CDAC about BOSS. Then, he started his Linux Admin Session. Today, he explained File Permissions in Linux Different file types, User, Group, Others,read,write,execute permissions, chmod,stickybit, setuid,setgid are the topics he covered with live demo. Chandrashekar Babu started his Ruby Talk. He explored Object Oriented Nature, strings, Classes, Loops, File System Handling, irb, threads in Ruby. He compared Ruby with shell, perl scripting with lot of live code examples. Suki Venkat showed his open source application MultiFlow. It is a easy software for authoring Latex Documents easily. He showed the XUL and javascript code, he developed. We had a discussion about Software Freedom Day 2010 on sep 18. We got place at Birla Planetarium. Thyagarajan started the discussion for volunteers and stalls. We got request for stalls from MIT, Jaya Engg College, AVIT, SRM, Fedora Team,Sworks and kanchilug. Ma.Sivakumar accepted to volunteer for the publicity in media like magazines,social media, FM, web, colleges, poster, banner etc. We will discuss the list of stalls and volunteers in a separate thread. Here is the article in Tamil about this month meet by Ma.Sivakumar. http://kaniporul.blogspot.com/2010/08/blog-post_14.html Here are some snaps. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=27638id=133359730009404 I thank all the speakers and participants.
