[Ilugc] Need download stats reports on FreeTamilEbooks.com

[Shrinivasan T]

FreeTamilEbooks.com provides ebooks in epub, mobi, A4 PDF, 6 inch formats.

Most of the books reach 1000 downloads and few cross 1 lakh.

But the download plugin shows count for each format individually.

We are looking for  a php / wordpress developer to make a report page on
the site to display book name, download. Count for each format and total
download count.

Will give db access.

Reply to me if you are interested in contributing.

Thanks.

[Ilugc] Run many versions of ubuntu with lxc

[Shrinivasan T]

I am working on a connector between Google Drive OCR and WikiSource
projects.

https://github.com/tshrinivasan/OCR4wikisource

When I am developing in Ubuntu 15.04 laptop, everything works fine. But
many issues were reported with the tools mutool and pdfunite.

Could not find the reasons for the issues for long time. Finally found that
the users are using in Ubuntu 12.04

mutool is not available and pdfunite is older versions in ubuntu 12.04,
which is working differently then ubuntu 15.04

Wanted to try ubuntu 12.04. Searched for any free VPS. But there is no free
VPS to try anything quickly.

But, LXC container helped here.

We can install any ubuntu version as a mini VPS inside in our ubuntu.

sudo lxc-create -t download -n ubuntu1204  --dist ubuntu --release precise
--arch amd64

sudo lxc-start -n ubuntu1204

sudo lxc-attach -n ubuntu1204

with --release  option, we can give any older version of ubuntu. It
downloads that version and install a minimal version.

Using this, I checked and found the issue with the pdfunite. Changed the
program to work with ubuntu 12.04

Users are happy now :-)

Thanks for Ravi, jayantanth, Sibi, Omshivaprakash for continuous testing
and giving ideas for enhancements. Realised the  importance of testing and
tasting the true spirits of collaborative contributions.

[Ilugc] [OT] Mentor Open Source topics for fun and profit

[Tony Thomas]

Dear all,

I want to introduce https://www.thinkfoss.com/ - where people with Open
Source know-how ( as in this list ) can mentor topics of their interest.
Once you sign up, you have the option to offer a course you are comfortable
with, and feel free to add a brief description and modules for easy
acceptance.

Topics can be as straight-forward as `setting up the LAMP stack` to as
complicated as `building and setting up the LAMP stack` with limitation
only to Open Source topics/skills. Please add the difficulty level
appropriately so that the audience do not feel stuck. Mentoring will happen
online with respect to the mentors ease.

In case you are looking for skills,
https://www.thinkfoss.com/register/user/portal/student/ lists the available
courses as of now.

Giving back to the community is our aim, and do offer courses that can make
a difference.

Thanks,
Tony Thomas
