The latest version of Fedora has attracted many of the colleges towards GNU/Linux platform and most colleges have decided to migrate atleast 50% of computers using Linux in all departments (one of the engineering college located within Chennai city has already migrated 10% of computers completely to Fedora-20 and would switch another 40% by the end of March ' 2014). After interacting with several engineering college management authorities, I found that, the colleges were no more interested in paying for software license for proprietary software and therefore decided to migrate to Linux platform and train all the faculty members for using them. Hence, based on the feedback and response we got from colleges, we have decided to setup more than 100+ FOSS Labs on April 8th, 2014.

Re: [Ilugc] Technology, knowledge and competitiveness [ OT]
Dear Girish, As always - you speak very clearly (atleast as of your conviction) and boldly - though it is sometimes not needed. I do not know what prompted you on this clear, bold and sudden expression of your point / view. As always - all of you are afraid of being : - loser (or not being a winner) - fear (of losing things which are with you - to someone else) - indian people (generally) and indian companies - more of materialistic only MAYBE I am COMPLETELY WRONG, I admit. There is nothing wrong being / living till your last breath as a loser. It is a relative term as to the time of relation, I too have seen many of my school mates were a sorry loser - who have failed to clear even simple exams, failed 10th / 12th / graduation. But, after seeing them after 15 years - some of them have become top class - at least in terms of being a successful person - in your terms - not afraid of someone stealing their bread / not afraid of working with some of the top class companies (right from IBM to TVS to simple Saravana Bhavan vendor etc). Fear - of losing things : you will always lose things (in substitution - say play time to study time etc) when you are not sure of getting to be where you want to be. After all FEAR makes you to look for alternatives (the degree of appropriateness of the solution will depend on more of your Manam / Buddhi / Chinda Agna), which you will not get when you are too confident. May be you will get a better outcome if you have still operated when you were still under fear. Not getting bogged down by Fear is the only answer. Indian People Companies : First of all in my opinion - all companies / Org etc - is only as good as its staff. If Indian companies are bad, then the Indian staff are bad. Is any other countries people are better than Indian ??? Each country has always had a very very bad phase - which happens primarily because of their citizens. Do not consider IPL / Congress / and other issues which plague India right now. Materilism : I think you know more about this than others to tell you, you were always a good dasa of lord Muruga !!!. Think about it, and if something needs to change your / my view please let me know. I think the time one lives is always the best time (to live / to prosper), since, when we die, we cannot do anything - being a loser / successful person. The above are my views. with warm regards s.sivakumar velacherry On Wed, May 29, 2013 at 1:03 AM, Ashwin Dixit ganeshacompu...@gmail.comwrote: Dear Girish, There is some truth in what you said.

It is functioning, despite fear. 3. Money: Let's say that you succeed, and become the most knowledgable, wealthiest person in the world. Yet, you have left behind friendship.

Dear Sir, Sorry to hijack this thread. There is a need for a commercial application - which we may need. Need : To show a Monitoring Saving software in Linux - *in GUI format* - when you connect an UPS. Already have : - a software package which comes along with the UPS (called UPSILON) - it is very good in Windows Platform - shows everything in graphical - Dashboard sort of - it also works and does all it needs to : monitor, alerting, shows in bargraph - but it does not show in as like Windows, as the Developers did not find it necessary. Is it possible to show the signals received by the software (do not have the codes - since it is a proprietory and already in compiled executable version), and show them using Python - in wave format, and any other GUI based format. (I have seen Jaya Engineering College students - doing something in Python - way back in 2008 - SFD celebrations at Birla Planetarium.) I think we can contribute / pay the cost for this. The same package can be offer to other UPS vendors - for the same application, if need be, by the developers.

Re: [Ilugc] will it work
Dear sirs, IMHO, the speakers should decide how best to approach the session since they see them as the expert, not your point of contact. SK This is exactly the reason - the person will be in touch with ILUGC (and who ever wants to participate in this - when it comes !!) - for good script and if possible any video clippings which can be shown / used (with due permission from the owner, etc). This will (I want it to be) be one more step for FOSS introduction to students / and any user of Computers. The first step is to get : - a good Spot in a TV channel (when every channel is fighting to show Serials!!) - some sponsors for this show - even the name of the serial will be debated a lot - and what not !! with warm regards s. sivakumar mumbai ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
[Ilugc] will it work
Dear All, I have a friend in chennai - who is now doing 'serials' for Jaya Plus Raj TV (generally 'pattimandrams' and other simple ones). I had discussed with him - about 6 months back, about doing a 20 to 30 minutes 'serial' on FOSS FOSS related ones. since he was busy and i have come back to mumbai - did not proceed much. After meeting people in SFD 2011 - at IIT Powai, Also, since now many students are going to get 'Laptops' from TN govt, a new audience (if we can call them) may be enticed to see (and get benefitted) a series of FOSS related things in TVs. Though this may take a lot of time to even start (finding 'slots' with TV, finding 'sponsors', finding 'topics', getting approved, finding 'Hosts', etc), my only question is 'WILL IT WORK (not only commercially but also 'in the best interest of all'). If he goes ahead - he will be in touch with most of you (who are in chennai), to make this into a shape. - need your unreserved remarks - without any bias. If this is not even treated as a 'topic', I will not take this personally. thanks (and sorry if I had wasted your time) with warm regards s.sivakumar mumbai 98200 10728 ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
Re: [Ilugc] will it work
Dear Sirs, Yesterday I spoke to this chennai person: - he says he can get first - a spot for 10 to 15 minutes - mainly in Jaya Plus. - this spot will be for 1 days / week - after seeing the response he will get for every day (if needed) - he feels to start with how students using the TN Laptop better using all the tools - it may start with Microsoft (1 or 2 episodes) - and then PAN into FOSS fully. - he will be in touch with most of the ILUGC people, who would want to give simple scripts and also anchor (which may or may not be commerically) As soon as he gets this spot, I will ask him to get in touch with one of the ILUGC members (who can introduce others if needed whenever necessary) - not disturbing everyone's time always.

Dear Arun, I did just what you have suggested - went to the site http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1682977, and did the same. 1. went to the hidden folder .libreoffice in /home and to the last folder 2. there was a folder /basic - one file called 'standard' and another one called 'script.xlc' 3. i opened the script.xlc - through 'gedit' 4. deleted all the contents in the script.xlc 5. and saved the same file as 'dialog.xlc' 6. closed the libreoffice, and opened once again. Now, there is no error pop-up message - as it used to come earlier. I do not know whether this is actually a solution, or it just removed the popup.

Our concentration should be to reach more more people, instead of cramming something on their throat. Even if you install linux on the laptop, it is not sure that they will use Linux instead of Microsoft Windows. These students - who are getting educated in colleges / schools - are not dumb, but are made to join the crowd, and at this point of time, it is Microsoft Windows 7, and later 8, etc. If they perceive that Linux is 100 % rewarding for them in the long run they would certainly go for it. How many of us are really helping new people to get solutions in this forum without they getting hurt (no, I am not going to start a war), for their problems. It is still being perceived even by computer users who are more than 10 years of usage, feels that Linux is difficult, and 'getting help is very difficult'. It is this perceived thing that should be taken care off. To make this Linux more interesting, we should organise for people to get trained : Freely of course, Languages like C, etc, and every month simple competitions should be organised in localities, and taking them into State Level (Imagine IPL's Success).

Re: [Ilugc] TN Govt says No to Linux - issues new tender
Sir(s), I feel the one thing that can happen by challenging through court is : this tender gets delayed for atleast 6 months. I think this will help the government - particularly the C.M. of TN, since she can get more time on this Freebie, and can escape (not necessarily 'escape' ) but can get a fair breather. Also they can cite this as an example, and delay others too. The sufferer is the students (and also to a certain extent - the tax payers, in the long run, if the govt. chooses to go only with proprietary software). It would be definetely better to do something like our Linexpert Systems - Mr. Bhaskar - where we could educate more on this to the actual users - who if they find this better, can always install Linux later, and inform the govt, for the next lot to change the specs. my two paise. with warm regards s.sivakumar mumbai 98200 10728 ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Re: [Ilugc] How to make ILUGC list user friendly?
Dear Sirs, The intention of starting this thread is good - personally. This could be due to some one take 'initiative' 'action' - for making this ILUGC - much better. At the same time, please look at these threads - for a few days - you would see some of replies are more 'reactive' than giving simple, straightforward answer. And if someone feels that the question 'does not deserve' his time answer - he 'may' leave it unanswered, instead of just replying 'straight-forward', and then keeps 'reactively - defending'. Many organisations have closed down / not-looked-at anymore, because of getting replies that does not convey proper respect to the asker. It is the same Land - from where the Guru never shouts at students - when stupid questions where asked - since, he might not have taught them proper -(I have read this somewhere in the last month - and do not ask me where when etc). If some body is trying to do something - for the betterment of all - either support him or leave the thread.

Re: [Ilugc] Free laptops from TN Govt - The students Nature
Dear all, - one small thought on this. instead of just saying about the good things about FOSS, and money loss on using Windows etc - can we use this opportunity to show how using linux can be customised - in Tamil Language etc... More : - it is not just the student (who receives) will be using the laptop - his brother / sister, maybe even his relative would like to use them - if they cannot see things in tamil / related language - they may lose interest - if they can see and learn to operate in tamil (or their language ) it will make the student also very happy he will be proud too. Let the laptop be with dual booting, and if we can get the first lot students to see this side of linux (customising and a lot of other things) may be he will start using linux more than Windows, and he may even take windows out of the laptop !!!. - even if we aim for 1 to 5 % of this entire lot of laptops to keep running on linux too, then it will be a big boost. I think you all will have more ideas in this. - what about commercial usage (in the sense - giving POS software to run in Tamil), etc ... may be I dream more may be I should wake up. thanks s.sivakumar mumbai 98200 10728 ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Dear Mr. Shakti Kannan, since the original poster seems to be a new user to FOSS, I think you / we should allow him to express his happiness, joy, feeling of freedom, excitement. I think the already-users, veterans of FOSS, should not make the new poster to feel embarrassed. All he seems to do was expressing himself, and maybe little bit over-enthusiastic. You can guide him, and others like him, as you always used to, I have seen read your excellent blogs. Keep it up.

Re: [Ilugc] need LAN connectivity without internet for few systems.
Will you restrict the use of mobile phones by students too . We are living in the age of 2G and 3G . Even if u don't provide internet students may surf on net using mobile phones while they listening to class. - every one has individual style of training, and it boils down whether the majority of the students get good knowledge out of it, or not, which is what the crux is. - the original post has asked a solution for one problem, and now the answers / comments are taking a different route. - most of us (including me - this instance) starts judging the other person, when this is not needed, and also to be avoided. - let us learn from the community of other countries - which will not take a side, while replying.

Re: [Ilugc] Building a digital wall using LCD's using linux for SFD 2010.
sir, I too would like to give a helping hand in this. I once heard from my RSM (Reg Sales Manager) when he was referring to Mahatma Gandhi : Greatness is doing the Ordinary things in an extraordinary way. Never trying to do the extraordinary things at all. This may not be in anyway corresponding to this discussion, but we always remember this when we try to give a presentation to one of our serious prospects, or, whenever we take part in any technical exhibitions. I would like to do the same things once again - for those who come (apart from the students) : - who are using Windows - also looking at other ones (may be due to some virus / commerical reasons) - but are not sure to contact any serious vendor to come /go discuss with them - first would like to use themselves then later on they would like to take them into their official use - see how easies / difficult to migrate from Windows to Open Source - what is the support level / how they can get support - FOR THE MOST SIMPLE THINGS that are needed in the daily official use - whether they themselves can do most of the support for the daily official use and so on. I still suggest to do the most ordinary things : - explain to them what are the ordinary things they perform with computer : personnally at home / and officially - use mail, surf web, use to write documents, use to compute with spreadsheets, do presentations, and sometimes watch movies, and hear music. - how we do the same with Thunderbird / Evolution, Firefox / Google, Open Office / K Office / Symphony / Abiword / Gnumeric etc, VLC player etc. - how to do dual booting with Windows Linux etc - how to connect with their official windows mail server (through exchange etc) like this All the above mentioned things are not something different, but, which are the most ordinary sensible things that one might want to. I would still want one or two old pcs : just for showing how to install dual boot : one / two PCs with Openoffice etc. MAY BE I AM WRONG - in saying these. In any case, thanks for the opportunity. S.

Re: [Ilugc] How to bring more people to ilugc meets?
I agree. Also, in my humble opinion, LUG could really help : those who just started using Linux, and those who want to start using linux. If we can have a session of 15 minutes at every LUG meet - only for clearing the doubts, It can be the most silliest thing too. Though using Linux for the past 1 year, I still feel inadequate sometimes. I use my laptop only for regular usage - mail, office documentation, and of course games (in XP booting). I have installed quite a few times - for my collegues, friends and to some of my customers too. Some of them feel really good, but many fall back to the XP since they find it difficult sometimes to get printing, and others - like opening a MS Office Word document (using OOO Writer) but finding the format is not disturbed, then spend some time in getting back the document to the desired format, and append the document, take print. etc. Sometimes, some of the PCs do not have the CD boot from BIOS etc, or sometimes, the display resolution does not permit to see all the installation options in the screen, etc, so installing is not possible. I do not know how to install through text mode. Those who come and attend - if they come to know all these, they will start experimenting, and also will be able to feel more confident, and also feel belonging to the mighty LUG. Even if one new person comes comes to the LUG meet every month - just like sabarimala - kannisami. He will bring in one more new person the next month. this is my humble opinion. with regards, s.sivakumar ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
