Thanks I am aware of GNUCash.   Let me know if you know of anyone
using it for Hsg. Coop Soc. purpose.

In Hsg. Co-op society billing, interest calculation is simple interest
on the balance principal amount.  Need to keep principal and interest
accrual separate and also show them as such in the bill.  I have been
generating the bill manually in a spread sheet and it is prone to
errors in copy/paste.

I used Drupal Quiz[1] around Jan 2010 and Quiz 4 RC 1 sufficed my
requirement having standard set of features, mostly stable. It should be
straight forward to install and configure it. I was having some issues with
Export / Import and now i see its developed as a seperate module. Never

Ubuntu is Good but when you give to newbies, he may face problems,
List is very long.
What is why we tried to create SchoolOS which contains everything which
child need with good configuration.
I suggest you for having a try on SchoolOS. Also, Please send me your postal
address so that I can send you its DVD.

Here is a huge information we have put on our wiki
http://wiki.schoolos.org, you can also add your experience there too.
Most important, you need to install GNU/Linux and observer their problems.
Like newbies do not get any clue how to configure IP address even though it
is very easy. Same with Hindi typing etc. It looks a blackbox to child if
nobody is there to teach them. That why newer version include helpful pdf
files on right on desktop so that student can directly get those help.

I do not find any point in teaching kernel OR other concept to child. ICT is

Great !! A detailed tutorial is there in SchoolOS which he/she can follow to

Because Linux/FOSS/GNU is made by all of us and we do it for non-profit.
Company system do not find much benefit out of this in promoting. Same with
Govt at some places.
GNU/Linux depends on us and we need to spread it. Somebody told about Linux
to me and I used it. I am not a fan of it, you use it, And tell your friends
about it.

Virus comes when there is close source. FOSS/OpenSource has lots of

[Ilugc] Fwd: Interactive FOSS session with kids

[Dhastha]

Chennai, Birla planetarium authority Mr. Lenin Organized One hour FOSS
session with Kids(7th to 9th) on Dec 30 2010. Shrinivasan asked me to
conduct this session. This program only for Kids. So I called Mr.
Selvamani to accompany with me.  I went there early morning 9 am. The
session was started at exactly 10am.  At beginning what I thought is
"All kids are looking small, so they does not know anything about
Operating system. So It will take so hard to make them clear
understand about Linux". But after started to take session I felt that
my thought is wrong. Everyone of there had experience with Windows.

Me and Selvamani started to talk with student with the as usual story
of Ritchard M Stalman and Linus Torvalt. Everyone impressed with
Linux. I showed Ubuntu and its compiz features. Then we played
BigBugBunny animation clip. All kids enjoyed this.

Next question session. Followings are some question, which I never
expected from them

1. At the session I explained about kernal orally. A 8th standard
student asked me that " How can I see the source code of kernal?".
Thats it, a few second I was kept silent.
2. How can I install linux in my system?
3. Where can I get help regarding linux?
4. Some kids said, can you give your mobile number? I will call you
with my dad, and elder brother and exp
5. How to play games?
6. One student asked me a critical question that is "Linux is a free
OS and have all kinds of softwares, then Why it is not famous. I mean
why we dont know about linux?
7. Will Linux affect by virus?

Really amazing. right?

At the end of the session we met another unexpected incident that is Some
kids came forward to asked us "Autograph". What to say? That was my
memorable day

You can try OTRS or OSticket both of them are ticketing system with
escalation and various methods to raise ticket request.

OTRS is more customisable so will be little more complexed compared to OSticket,

Dear Narendra,

Thank you for your gift of USD 2.00 to the Wikimedia Foundation,
received on December 31, 2010. I’m very grateful for your support.
Your donation celebrates everything Wikipedia and its sister sites
stand for: the power of information to help people live better lives,
and the importance of sharing, freedom, learning and discovery. Thank
you so much for helping to keep these projects freely available for
their more than 400 million monthly readers around the world.

Your money supports technology and people. The Wikimedia Foundation
develops and improves the technology behind Wikipedia and nine other
projects, and sustains the infrastructure that keeps them up and
running. The Foundation has a staff of about fifty, which provides
technical, administrative, legal and outreach support for the global
community of volunteers who write and edit Wikipedia.
Many people love Wikipedia, but a surprising number don't know it's
run by a non-profit. Please help us spread the word by telling a few
of your friends.

And again, thank you for supporting free knowledge.

Sincerely Yours,


Sue Gardner
Executive Director
