[ilugd] Fwd: Minutes of the first Ubuntu Indian LoCo Team Meeting
Hi, This is the last message regarding the Ubuntu Indian team that I will be forwarding to these lists, other than one announcing the formation of a new mailing list specifically for discussing Ubuntu Indian topics. I thought that people might be interested in the decisions we arrived at prior to the IRC meet with the Ubuntu Council on Tue. afternoon. Regards, Gora --- Baishampayan Ghose [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [...] Hello all, An IRC meeting of all the members of the Ubuntu Indian Local Community (LoCo) Team was held today from 1500-1600 Hrs on #ubuntu-in at Freenode. Not many people were present at the meeting since it was called after a very short notice. The members present at the meeting were -- o Aanjhan R. o Baishampayan Ghose o Balaji N. o Gora Mohanty o Raj Mathur o soodp o Soumyadip Modak o Sudharshan S. o Tazz The agenda of the meeting was -- o Defining our goals and strategies effectively to make a strong case at the CC-meeting o To discuss and consolidate the list of activities that we would do o Discuss on the structure of the organisation We discussed on the above topics and other things at length and decided on a few things, and we have kept a few things aside for later discussion. I am providing a short summary of the decisions taken in the meeting below -- o We intend to provide support across India, both commercial, and non-commercial. Work to be done through LUGs, free-software organisations. Details to be worked out among us. o We'll do Indic localisaton work, basically making sure that IndLinux work gets rolled into Ubuntu. o Indic-specialized distros rolled out from Ubuntu. We work on developing and maintaining Indic packages. o Create a CD containing packages which people without Internet can simple pop in and install extra software to get a useful multimedia / development workstation. o Provide closer contacts between Debian and Ubuntu, so software development is shared between the two. o We also decided that signing the Ubuntu Code of Conduct would be a pre-requisite for joining this organisation. The Ubuntu Community Council Meeting will be held on the 7th March at 12:00 GMT. I hope we'll be successful in presenting our case in front of the Community Council. After that, we have a lot more to do ... Have a nice day everybody, Regards, BG P.S - Since we don't have our own mailing list yet, please spread the message by forwarding this mail to the different [G]LUGs. :) - -- Baishampayan Ghose b.ghose at gmail.com [...] __ Yahoo!

Well, that sounds like a personal decision to me. If you are willing to miss out on email just because it is in Hindi, c'est la vie, if you will pardon my French. The intention is to help the poster but if the seeker of help makes it difficult for some one who can help then that some one would rather help others who are defining their needs in clearly and easily understood terms.

[ilugd] Lost my VT100 font!
[Apologies to those of you who receive this note in multiple forums] Ok, I placed this thread in the ILUGD section because I figure linux folks would know most about it. If it's in the wrong place, please tell me where I should move it. I used to have a font available to all apps called VT100 which as you guys may know is a monospaced font that's meant to be non-antialiased and it doesn't hurt your eyes compared to other blurry and jagged fonts. I loved that font. It looked great whether it was plain or bold. But a few weeks ago I had a little problem. I had to reformat and reinstalled my w/s.. So I did. But now VT100 is missing. The font is gone. Does anyone have any info on where to find vt100 font for linux?

The orignal poster can take the lead and start sending out his mails in 15 languages :D am not sure that the original poster meant what you describe. Maybe he meant if you are writing in a native language write using the original langauge script and the fonts available in that language If one were to read letters written in other languages (not romanized versions) then one often sees similar use of nativized english (other language words). To some extent this is visble even in regional language newspapers. Just because we can't read / write / speak other languages does mean we lump all of them together and stick to one langauge beyond which we think its the end of the world.
