[ilugd] [Commercial] A Sneak Peek Into LFY October 2006
[Commercial] A Sneak Peek Into LFY October 2006 Dear Readers, First off, on behalf of the whole team of LINUX For You, here's wishing a very happy Dussehra and Diwali to the whole community. This month, LINUX For You has bundled another 'hugely-requested' distro DVD with it - CentOS 4.4 - which many believe is the closest one can get to RHEL for free. On the editorial front, we have a mega story on the trends in Linux and open source usage in the mighty Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) sector of the Indian industry. Along with this, we have our regular hardware focus on 'Linux Laptops' and software focus on Linux based High Performance Computing Solutions. Under the opinions section, this month, the community opines on how India can develop a community of open source developers and thus become a 'net-giver' to the open source world. Also, in the 'Down Memory Lane' series, we look at the history of the GNOME project.

Re: [ilugd] VoIP situation
According to the Telegraphic Act 1883 and Telegraphic Wireless Act 1935, in Indian, all international calls should be routed through Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). You can make IP-based calls outside the country but it is not legal to make calls to a local PSTN or a cellular network using VoIP. But of course if you want you can do a PC to PC VoIP call even inside the country. That's completely legal.

I know its midweek :( but I need to fly out on the 1st Nov. Some of you might know that I am involved with the CentOS project, and should people be interested - I am happy to talk about the Project, what we are doing, what some of the future development directions are etc. Hi Karan, Any chance you will be in Chandigarh or whereabouts ? We can have a similar thing over here also. I am in Chandigarh the entire week from the 22th to the 28th, and I'd love to meetup with the lug there. ( I didnt realise there even was a lug operating in Chandigarh! ). for me, the best dates are going to be the 26th or the 27th evening. - KB -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

[ilugd] BBDB for Kmail
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 So... switched to Kmail from [X]Emacs + VM. Things were pretty smooth except for this lack of the Insidious Big Brother Database (the BBDB). In case you don't know what the BBDB is, here's a bit from the write-up: The Insidious Big Brother Database (BBDB) is a contact management utility created by Jamie Zawinski for use with Emacs. It is tightly integrated with several mail and news readers (see below), allowing it to create database entries directly from mail and news messages. As is usual with applications for Emacs, this record creation can be configured in many ways, ranging from a boolean create/don't create setting to creation based on the result of a user-supplied function. /snip So basically BBDB sits around and watches incoming e-mails, and whenever it sees a new e-mail address it automagically adds it to your contact list (maintained in it's own database). Then you can use that database for address completion and searches when sending mail. That is one feature I can't live without, so here's my little offering on the altar of FLOSS-because-I-needed-it: kbbdb, a minimal BBDB clone for Kmail. In short, kbbdb is a filter app that you call when you receive messages. It extracts addresses from the message (the sender's address by default) creates a little VCARD file and invokes KAddressBook's DCOP interface to add the VCARD entry to your KDE address book. Of course, KAddressBook has to be running for all this to work :) It isn't very sophisticated, the pop-up confirmation windows can get a bit tedious and it can probably be massively improved. On the plus side, I've been using it for the past 3 days without any problems, you can use it to add contacts from existing messages in your mailbox(es), and it's well-documented. Take it, break it, use it and abuse it: http://shanta.linuxops.net/~raju/Software/kbbdb Feedback, feature requests, etc. welcome.
