Awesomeness - The guy, HCL CDS, Infosys and Wipro. India, the IT power house We will be the greatest. I sympathize. This narrow, skewed work-ethics is, IMO, due to something uniquely indian by nature - one is perceived to be 'better off' by society if they're found to be in a good position and it is also expected that people in good positions 'know' what they're doing. Both combined, results in people not accepting what they don't know and in racing to 'climb the ladder' for this mysterious religion called 'growth', this strategy by itself is quite harmful to one's career... above it, when we play out a game of such similar strategies, there is a run away phenomenon that ends up lowering the entire company's bar. The bad hire the worse and it quickly turns into a hell hole. ... but nothing is black and white. I've found good people from Infosys/TCS-types as well or even people with completely irrelevant backgrounds shining. I guess the differentiating variable is Passion. When we got 700,000 engineers graduating every year from India and countless more other 'graduates', most of them confused because their view of the world states that they must first get a well paying, dignified job. With such a scenario, such sweat shops are but inevitable? It is perhaps still cost effective to keep 4 guys to do each of coding, testiing, documenting and releasing 3 lines of code per day.

Re: [Ilugc] Mercurial server setting up
afaik there is no such thing as a mercurial server. Every mercurial repository is independent and can be accessed as a file on a local machine, or over ssh/http/ etc on a remote machine. I havn't setup up mercurial repositories to be accessed via http. So this is my wild guess. It is true that mercurial is a distributed VCS and that all the version control information is stored inside the directory called .hg/ under repository root, and the working tree is simply a checkout of .hg/ Now to access mercurial repository it is enough to have the file path or file url. And because of this ssh becomes quite convenient to access remote file-paths, since ssh server naturally understands unix file tree. But HTTP server is a different beast. It requires configuration to map HTTP urls to file path. And I guess OP is requesting information on that. Cheers, ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Utilizing the model set by Wikimedia staff IRC office hours, MediaWiki.org's WikiProject Extensions is presenting our first MediaWiki Workshops for developers (volunteer and staff). Preparing extensions for MediaWiki 1.19 will be held on 13 January, 2012 at 19:00 UTC in IRC (#wikimedia-dev). This IRC workshop will be an opportunity to find out about changes in MediaWiki 1.19 that may require revisions to extensions or skins. Also an opportunity to ask MediaWiki developers questions regarding extension development. Everyone is invited to attend. Developers interested in serving as extensions or MediaWiki 1.19 experts are encouraged to signup as participants at: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:WikiProject_Extensions/MediaWiki_Workshops#MediaWiki_1.19_Experts If there's continued interest / demand, MediaWiki Workshops will typically last one hour, and happen no more than twice a month to present trainings, hold discussions and collaborate on community or WikiProject Extensions projects. Facilitators host the session to introduce any presenters, determine the order of questions, and generally helps to keep things going. Time of day will vary in order to offer people in different parts of the world the opportunity to participate. Future topics will likely include MediaWiki.org documentation, ResourceLouder orientation and workshops similar to our inaugural chat to prepare for each MediaWiki release. More information: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:WikiProject_Extensions/MediaWiki_Workshops MediaWiki.org's WikiProject SysAdmins will also likely host similar MediaWiki Workshops to help third-party wiki system administrators.

I meant that most enterprises use Exchange server and Outlook does a good job of integrating with it. I know Thunderbird has a plugin to do that and Evolution can handle it by default. But still, I'm pointing out why MS Office in Linux might be exciting to some people and enterprises. That said, I really do hope LibreOffice (and LaTeX and Thunderbird) is improved and people start using it big time.

[Ilugc] Wukan in Context
http://www.pragoti.in/node/4587 __ Wukan in Context The Arab Spring...followed by the Bersih 2.0 movement in Malaysia...followed by the Indignado movement in Spain.. followed by the Occupy Protests in the United States... followed by the protests against electoral malpractice and more in Russia ...and now protests in the Wukan village in China? It is easy to make a comparative assessment of the incidents in Wukan village in Guandong province in China with the other protests against power in various parts of the world and say that this is just a re-enactment against authority. Authority could be differentiated - be it dictatorship in the Arab world, oligarchy in Malaysia, two-party duopoly in Spain, financial capital and plutocracy in the United States, atypical Kremlinology of the Putin variety in Russia, but there are commonalities - the pursuit of policies that are skewed in the interests of capitalists, speculators, the rich and against common people. So is Wukan on similar lines? In the case of the Wukan protests - directed at local communist party and government officials over a land deal - it seems that the higher leadership of the Communist Party effected an immediate reprisal over corrupt officials in accordance with the villagers’ wishes. The controversial land deal has also been cancelled. It seems to be a case of the ruling party pre-empting the burgeoning of the protests against its authority in general. But questions arise if this can be replicated elsewhere and whether the apparatuses of the Communist Party ruled state are democratic and robust enough to address peoples' concerns about displacement and loss of livelihoods. This article in the Diplomat has an interesting drift - the party’s attempts to bring about a reasonable denouement in favour of the aggrieved people in Wukan cannot be generalised, as the outcomes in Wukan were more due to inner party dynamics. Wang Yang, the secretary of the Guandong provincial committee of the CPC, played a vital role in the peaceful outcome in Wukan, by sympathizing with the protesting villagers. This solidified his claims to be incorporated in the CPC’s politburo standing committee in the forthcoming Congress. Other high profile CPC leaders like Chongqing party chief Bo Xilai have also adopted a similar route towards acquiring popularity. He is credited for launching a serious crackdown on organised crime in Chongqing in 2009, arresting over 2000 gangsters. Wang Yang was Bo Xilai’s predecessor in Chongqing. But protests in China are rising. There is a lot of discontent with the model of growth in China, which while bringing economic prosperity during the reform period, has also involved rising inequality among social classes and between urban and rural areas. Thousands of popular protests take place in China every year, mostly against land grab by corrupted party officials. Real estate is a major component of China’s growth story, and there is widespread apprehension about a real estate bubble. To maintain its legitimacy, the CPC often punishes its own party officials in order to distance itself from corruption. For instance, Chen Liangyu was dismissed as party secretary of the Shanghai municipal committee in 2006 and jailed for his involvement in siphoning off money from the social security fund. Xi Jinping, who took over as the Shanghai party chief following the scandal, went on to become a Politburo Standing Committee member and is expected to succeed Hu Jintao as Party chief and head of state later this year. Earlier, in 1995, Beijing mayor Chen Xitong was also dismissed and jailed for corruption. But skeptics maintain that these punishments merely amount to scratching the surface. While the Communist Party seems to be cognisant about the problems of corruption and rising discontent against land grab (http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/90882/7693306.html ), it still remains to be seen if there would be a definite shift in the policies of the CPC and the Chinese government - from an export driven, state capitalist model of growth to a truer socialist vision as its Constitution claims. And whether indeed there is a truer democratisation within the Communist party as it is besieged by complaints of sleaze and graft at various levels of leadership. _ Best A. Mani -- A.
