[ilugd] Volunteer, Demo and Speaker Meet

2004-09-21 Thread Raj Mathur
Hi,

Can the volunteers, demonstrators(?) and speakers get together for a
pre-event Meet tomorrow (Wednesday the 23rd) at Connaught Place around
7pm?  I hope CP would be fine for people coming from all parts of
Delhi.

Suggestions for a venue in CP where 10-15 people can sit for an hour
or so without having to dish out too much money welcome.  If you know
a Barista or a Cafe Coffee Day or such-like which remains either empty
of filled with people one can easily intimidate into giving up their
seats please mail the list fast!

Regards,

-- Raju

Compare output  of trace route for  each site. mtr/mtr-tiny  will be a

I think  you should be  using the `map'  directive in the entry  to boot
xp.

Something like

map (hd0) (hd3)

Read the grub  documentation possibly in /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/html/

I'd personally have preferred South Delhi too :) but we have
volunteers from all over the city and it's not fair to ask them all to
converge on one part of it.  This way everyone gets to travel more or
less the same distance -- Karl Marx and the greatest good of the
greatest number, etc.

Sorry you won't be able to make it -- try getting away early from

[ilugd] Bapu Kuti se Bazaar ki aur: ek Khoj lecture on 2nd October

2004-09-21 Thread Ajit Ranade
this year's gandhi peace foundation's gandhi jayanti lecture is entitled as
above. the lecture will be in hindi, by well known author and writer rajni
bakshi (she is best known for her book bapu kuti). she has been following
the open source movement for quite sometime and also has interviewed
stallman (rms), raymond (esr) etc.

i believe that her lecture will partly dwell on the economics/market
paradigm of the open source/free software movement, and examine how it may
actually be a reasonable bridge between gandhi's village (small is
beautiful) economy vision and the modern reality of a capitalist/globalised
multinational dominated economy. but of course, i am second guessing the
content of her lecture, which we will know only on 2nd oct.

details -

date: Saturday, October 2nd
time:  4:15 pm
venue: Gandhi Peace Foundation, 223 Deendayal Upadyaya Marg, New Delhi -

[ilugd] [Fwd: [lb/2004] Getting the LUGs involved]

2004-09-21 Thread Tarun Dua
-Forwarded Message-
From: Atul Chitnis [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: Linux Bangalore/2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: [lb/2004] Getting the LUGs involved
Date: Tue, 21 Sep 2004 17:43:55 +0530

All:

OK, this is a dificult subject, so please forgive me if I don't quite get 
this right on the first attempt:

That Linux Bangalore has now become India's largest technical conference, 
and may even be one the largest in Asia, is now a fairly established fact 
(numbers, my friends, numbers).

What many people fail to realise, however, is that LB is not supposed to 
be a technical conference alone - it is supposed to be (and in fact is) a 
community event - created by and for the community and driven by it.

Over the years, we have been trying to get Linux and FOSS user groups from 
across India to use the event to draw attention to themselves. Given the 
huge national and international audiences who converge at this event, this 
makes a lot of sense.

Now I can understand it if larger LUGs don't feel that they need this kind 
of exposure, since they are well established in their own rights. Not that 
we wouldn't love having them participate - it is just that they seem to 
feel that they don't need to. This probably explains why the Mumbai and 
Delhi LUGs are so poorly represented every year at the event (though there 
is no shortage of *speakers* from these places!).

But our focus isn't really on the big LUGs - not even on the Bangalore
Linux User Group (which, as we all know, is probably the single largest in
India) or the Chennai LUG (the oldest and best established LUG in the
country).

We would like the smaller LUGs, such as Belgaum, Goa, Coimbatore,
Trivandrum, Bijapur, Vizag, Pune, Nagpur, Mysore, {insert comprehensive
list of LUGs here} etc. etc. to be seen and highlighted.

This is made clear every year when Linux Bangalore is inaugurated not by 
some big name in a tie, but by representatives from the various LUGs who 
are attending the event. This is no gimmick - we have done this for three 
years in succession, and will continue to do this even if $deity is a 
chief guest at the event (in which case s/he will be *one* of the people 
inaugurating the event).

So why this long note?

Because we need your help.

It is physically impossible for us to reach all the LUGs in India, but 
using the network effect (you know a couple, and can contact them, they 
know a couple each, and each contact them, and so on), it is possible to 
reach a lot of people and let them know about *their* event!

It is a no-brainer getting technical people to attend, but that isn't the 
sole reason for LB's existance. This is about the community as well.

As LB, we can offer LUGs some space at the expo, to tell people about 
themselves and their activities (even if it is just some poster space, or 
handouts), halls where they can meet with ther LUGs to discuss how they 
can improve their memberships, activities, etc. and a chance to meet with 
like-minded people.

These facilities have always been available to LUGs, and will be available 
this year as well. All it needs is some prior planning.

What I'd like to do now is to have a discussion (and please, let's keep 
the politics out of it) about how we can get the word out to the LUGs, 
what is it that would keep them away, what would make them come, etc.

Over to you.

 Atalji ...err.. Atulji :)  is under a very wrong impression. My personal 
belief is that poor representation of Delhi LUG is because of physical 
distance. There is no conspiracy/ego thing about this.

For those of us who cant afford air fares for reaching such conferences, this 
is generally a week long affair, in which a third of the time is spent on the 
train. How many people can afford that much time off from work every year?

The best way to ensure a pan-indian participation is to keep rotating the 
event (like say Linux India  2004) in different state capitals every year. 
Till then, LB will be a predominantly Bangalore/Southern-India centric event 
attended by either people from nearby regions or by people who have the money 
or time.

- Sandip

P.S. Sorry for sounding petty, but I am just venting my frustation at not 
being able to attend any worthwhile Linux events(other than LA-2004) in the 
past 5+ years that I have been involved in the Indian Linux community, 
because of my limited means.

P.S.2. This seems to be intended for all LUGs in India. I wonder why it wasnt 
posted in LIG first.

much shorter events like sanog - http://www.sanog.org - are available

[ilugd] Learn how to quote ...

2004-09-21 Thread Sandip Bhattacharya
I found this great page http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html 
which teaches newbies how to reply/quote properly on the Usenet - 
applies to lists as well.

I especially like http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote2.html#ss2.3 
which explains very well why one should bottom post. I quote:


[...]
2.3 Why should I place my response below the quoted text?
Usually, the reading-flow is from left to right and from top to bottom, 
and people expect a chronological sequence similar to this. Especially 
people who are reading a lot of articles (and who therefore would 
qualify as the ideal person to answer your question) appreciate it if 
they can read at first the text to which you are referring. The quoted 
text is some kind of help to remember the topic, which of course will 
not work, if you place the quoted text below your response.

Furthermore, that's the standard. This may sound as a weak argument, but 
since people are not used to reading the other way around, they have no 
idea what you are referring to and have to go back and forth between the 
referenced articles, have to jump between different articles and so on. 
In short - reading the article becomes more and more difficult - for 
people who read many articles it is reason enough to skip the entire 
article, if the context is not obvious.

And besides: doesn't it look stupid to first get the answer and then see 
the question? (Aside from Jeopardy, of course.)

[ilugd] Unusually high search bot activity from MSN ...

2004-09-21 Thread Sandip Bhattacharya
Has any body else been experiencing this?
From my web log stats, lug-delhi.org is facing an unusually high and 
disproportionate hits from the MSN bot this month.

While there have been 1249 hits (24.07%) from MSN, Googlebot is at a 
distant third at 238 hits (4.59%). What gives?

BTW, the second place is taken by a regular browser (Mozilla/4.0 
(compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) at 243 hits. :)
