[Ilugc] FOSS Seminar in GKM College of Engineering and Technology

[Baskar Selvaraj]

Dear all,

Myself conducted a one day Seminar on FOSS in GKM College of
Engineering and Technology, Near Tambaram on 17/02/12 for the final
year students of ECE.

Around 20+ students participated in the seminar.

A 16 seat FOSS Lab was setup for the Dept. of ECE.  The dept. is
interested in Scilab and other FOSS tools available for ECE.
Interested persons may contact Dr. Kornel K.O. Joseph (Registrar) /
Mr. Manickam (Dept. of IT).

I would like to thank Dr. K.O. Joseph (Registrar) for the opportunity.

[Ilugc] Need a job ? Study Linux - 2012 Linux Job Report

[Siji Sunny]

Survey done by Dice and The Linux Foundation -2012 Linux Job Report -
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/publications/linux-foundation/2012-linux-jobs-repor
t

"* Key findings from the 2012 Linux Jobs Survey and Report include:*


• *Demand for Linux talent is on the rise, but finding those professionals
is difficult.*

Eight in 10 (81%) survey respondents say that hiring Linux talent is a
priority in 2012. This pressing matter is particularly evident when Linux
demand is compared to hiring in other skill sets: 63 percent of hiring
managers are increasing Linux hires relative to jobs created in other skill
areas. The issue? A full 85 percent say finding Linux talent is somewhat to
very difficult, making Linux professionals some of the most sought talent
in 2012.


* • Companies are making significant investments to attract and retain
Linux talent.*

Linux professionals garner more full-time positions and better salaries,
bonuses and perks. While the pay increase for tech professionals averaged
just two percent in 2011, Linux professionals have seen a five percent
increase in salaries year-over-year and a 15 percent jump in bonus
payouts2. Flexible work schedules (37%) additional training and
certification programs (30%) and salary increases above the company norm
(28%) are among the perks Linux gurus can expect.


*• Mid-level Linux developers and system administrators are the most
in-demand.*

Employers are seeking mostly Linux developers – 67 percent – and systems
administrators – 55 percent – with varying levels of experience; though,
mid-level professionals appear to be the most highly sought: 75 percent of
respondents say they’re looking for Linux talent with three to five years
of experience.

*Booming Asian Market :*

Asia shows an even higher percentage of respondents looking for Linux
talent.Nearly nine in 10 (86%) of survey respondents from Asia say that
hiring Linux talent is a priority in the year ahead, citing an increased
use of Linux as the primary driver. This is consistent with reports about
the increasing use of Linux among consumer electronics makers largely
concentrated in the Asia/Pacific market. "

The idea is to create a community of students to work with the Project. So
when students work with the GNU/Linux based projects they will be pulled
off from the Windows based technologies.

We are not going to create a complete new distro we gonna customize the
debian in the way we attract the students and new GNU/Linux users.

When the customization becomes impossible or we need more than what
actually debian has then we can build a distro out from scratch.

We also have to bring out the factor GNU/Linux is a Geeky stuff to Cool
Stuff reaching the normal users too..

True, but I read the statement as "without such off-line interaction
it is not possible to get started".
Things like bug squashing/triaging meets, mentoring, classrooms and
developer meets with focus are mostly done online for big projects
like Fedora and other distributions.

  I am not sure what he meant. But this is how I understood
it. Physical access means stuff like user group meets, bug squashing
meets some periodic conferences etc. These things really do build

If it is really a directory you want to move to, you can try this

find / -mtime 1 -exec cp -t dest_folder {}\+

The {}+ would append all those files that match and finally move all
of them to dest_folder.

BTW, this is the only use of the -t flag to the cp command that I can
think of ;) Thanks

Your filenames probably contain quotes and other messy characters which 
unix does not like. You can resolve this by using the options -print0 
and -0 in find and tar respectively. (NOTE: Option uses number 0 and not 
character O).

$ find / -mtime 1 -print0 | xargs -0 tar -czvf backup.tgz

Only Linux systems run on embedded systems only.
As far as reasons for creating a GNU/Linux system or Linux system are
concerned, it is a matter of understanding some of specifications, UI,
usability, performance and more. .

It is not a question of "if only we have a community/team". If the
specs are clear and there is no existing group working in the area,
then you should not hesitate to jump into it. Others will join in. The
freedom that FOSS affords helps people to forge ahead by themselves.
Copy-left lets the community preserve and sustain the freedom.

What is physical access to a community?
Learn to interact through the Internet.
Given your attitude, it would be better if you join an existing project.
My suggestion:  http://www.gnewsense.org/Main/JoingNewSense  (it will
be easy and there is plenty of scope for innovation... the community
is also not huge).
