[Ilugc] Reg FREE SOFTWARE DEMOS in Carte Blanche'12 at MIT, Anna University

2012-03-12 Thread Vimalesh Kambat
Hi,
*
*
 Computer Society is a student association of the *Madras Institute of
Technology* which was established in the year 1983. Initially it was set up
to promote computer knowledge among students from various branches of
engineering but it later became an active participant in the FOSS movement.

*  Carte Blanche http://www.cb.csmit.org/* is one such annual fest
conducted in our college in celebration of Free and Open Source Software.
Its one of the biggest Free software Fest. It aims at creating awareness
among young minds about the power of FOSS and also is a platform for FOSS
enthusiasts to share, discuss and discover new horizons. We are palnning to
host it on *24th and 25th of March 2012.*

  Each year, FOSS demo stalls are set up enthusiastically by students
and FOSS advocators alike. These demonstrations on the features of free
software have been an effective way of bringing about the much needed
recognition and appreciation for the FOSS community.

  Apart from these demos we also organize special events such as
lectures from experts, GNU/Linux quizzes, and other competitions on Web
designing, hacking, networking etc. In the prvious years we had audio
conference with *Richard Stallman, Father of Free Software.*

 This year too, the Carte Blanche’12 is being organized with the
undaunted spirit and enthusiasm. We hope to further our reach and help
spread the wisdom of Free and Open Source Software. In this respect, we
would be deeply gratified if your renowned organization could be a part of
our endeavor. We have*15+ events* in this time and have already confirmed
workshops on *Add on Development by Mozilla, Exploring Wikipedia by
Wikipedia and Open Hardware - Arduino.*



*Volunteers who are interested to put Demos on various Free Software
can mail t...@csmit.org*



For further details visit the Fest Website: *http://www.cb.csmit.org*

Hello everyone!

Me and SrikanthLogic are conducting a small Unofficial Wikimedia
Projects hackathon in Chennai on 17th March. You can find more details
and register for it here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Chennai_Hackathon_March_2012

Also, I'd request the community to add ideas here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Chennai_Hackathon_March_2012/Ideas. Note
that this hackathon is *not* a purely MediaWiki hackathon, and the aim
is to build hacks/tools/gadgets around the API/Content than mediawiki
extensions itself (Extensions/Patches to MW are welcome too, but not
the goal). So tools that make your life as an editor easier, tools
that make content discovery in multiple languages easier, tools that
help Wiki* spread, anything at all your mind can think of - please
post on the Ideas page.

Thanks!

Controlling the browser settings in all the users machine is not possible.

You have to set the transparent proxy.
i.e you have to route all the network traffic in your office to the
proxy server automatically.

  If you are using Active directory services in your network, you should
 install Firefox ADM to control proxy settings for the end users.

Thank you.

We are in the need of proxy authentication mode for all users ,So we are
unable to implement  transparent mode.

Any other way...Please

Good network security implementation should work regardless
of the desktop/browser settings.

If you configure your firewall to accept outgoing web traffic
only from your proxy server IP, then even if users change the
browser proxy configuration they cannot cannot bypass your
proxy and gain web access. Worst case is without the correct
proxy config users will not have web access.

Reinstall wordpress via the upgrade page. If that doesn't work you can
upload files via FTP too.
Mostly I have seen this happen when some file isn't unpacked properly while
upgrading.
