Re: [Ilugc] Looking for idea
Hi, Thanks to all for the useful suggestions ideas. 1) Parking lot automation for a multi storeyed parking lot 6) webcam integration I feel, webcam integration parking lot automation can be better project. If anyone interest to join this development activity, most welcome. pease contact me offline. The software platform would be - Linux with required open source software packages C,C++ programming. Hardware platform - I have little idea. Can some hardware person help me on this ? or can someone give the link for hardware people who can help me for interfacing the sensors with microcontroller board etc,,etc. Thanks to all. suresh. ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Thanks to all for the useful suggestions ideas. 1) Parking lot automation for a multi storeyed parking lot 6) webcam integration The Webcam integration can be done easily with the help of zigbee devices. Its all required the following 1. simple ARM borad/Processor with a zigbee adapter or any webcam which can ingterface with zigbee module. 2. A simple zigbee gateway which can transmit data via wifi or gprs. 3. A PC or any other mobile devices that can receive the data and display it. something similar to the following http://demo.idigi.com/cgi-bin/idigiweb.html -- regards Rajesh Kumar R.K ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

[Ilugc] FOSS Lab Setup in Shri Sakthi Kailassh Women's College, Salem district
Dear all, Yesterday, myself setup a 30 seat FOSS Lab (LTSP based using Fedora-14) for Shri Sakthi Kailassh Women's College, (http://www.sakthikailashcollege.org/), Salem district for the Dept. of Computer science (M.Sc. CS). It was a surprise that, the dept. faculties spent more than 3 hours experimenting with many of the foss tools like Codeblocks (c/c++ ide), netbeans, Gambas (visual basic clone), mysql and later on I told them about creating video tutorials by capturing the desktop activities using gtk-recordmydesktop/qt-recordmydesktop. One of the faculty member immediately started preparing video tutorials for widely used linux commands. It was a real pleasure to see their interest / involvement in using FOSS and now the internet browsing in also in Linux/Firefox. Contact details: Mr. Vijayakumar / Lectuer-CS Regards S.

[Ilugc] [Slightly OT] Allowing exchange/second-hand sale?
Hi all, I'm actually re-opening a topic that abruptly ended a few years ago. I wanted to upgrade memory on my laptop, and I had no use for the outgoing memory module, and selling it would save me some money nevertheless, so I ended up selling it for half the price to a gentle soul at a conference I was going to attend by posting on this list. There were objections to this because of the potential spam of what that would entail, and I concurred. Since then, I've only acquired more gadgets, and I'm sure most of you do on an ongoing basis. I've been thinking about this again, because I for one would like some flexibility about selling stuff on ILUGC, because you cannot possibly ask for a better audience. For example - I'll probably getting rid of two memory modules, an old Android phone, and maybe even my recently-acquired Kindle if I prefer the hackability of a Nook better. It would be nice if we can allow at least such second-hand sales among members with the appropriate tag. I'm very much aware that it might open up a pandora's box of hardware dealers trying to sell stuff, but is it really that much of a problem? We have been self-moderating on a lot of issues, so can't we manage this too, when the benefit is also there? Can we try it for a few weeks and see where it goes? Perhaps most importantly, is there any other LUG which allows this and didn't get inundated with spam? I'm aware that there's eBay.in and probably a few more places where I can list this stuff, but this forum comes with the added advantage of trust, and less of a hassle because most of us know each other and/or local. I'm not even sure if it's an entirely a good idea, but if you have some ideas, I'm ears. Vamsee. ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Sir, This is a very good idea - both device wise monetarywise. We also will know - how to get these devices working with our linux - since it was (most probably) used by the owner. regards s.sivakumar mumbai ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

[Ilugc] [EXCHANGE] Netgear WGR14 v7
Hi all, I thought I might as well stick my head out once again, and this is not really a commercial transaction, so I hope it's a good way to start :). I have a Netgear WGR14 v7 wireless router lying around the house ever since I upgraded to a new one. It still works fine, but for some mysterious reason won't let me upload any data over 3MB or so. I tried resetting the router and flashed the firmware again, but it's pretty much no go. Apart from that, it works great, I've haven't had any issues with downloading or wireless connectivity. I rarely do big uploads, so it wasn't much of an issue (by the way, for some reason stuff like the Dropbox daemon and BitTorrent clients seem to work fine). So I actually wanted to give it away, but I thought I'd drive a little bargain :). Anybody (students perhaps?) who's willing to give a talk at the next ILUGC meet can pick it up for free. First come first serve basis, and I trust you will keep the promise :). Any other details, off-list please. Vamsee. ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
