Re: [ilugd] ILUG-Delhi meeting 2pm Sun., 19th Aug., at JNU
Gora / Luggers, My name is Ajay Kumar, and after having been a reasonably accomplished technologist, I am now working full time on Education Technology facilitation. Would love to meet the LUG and make new friends in Delhi, to which I know I am welcome. I also wanted to know if I could make a slight pitch for the need of OSS to increase focus on social development issues like Digital Learning, Community Radio, Telecenters, etc. The thoughts that I want to share are on the lines of the mindmap posted at http://www.classapart.org. Wondering if the last minute addition of agenda is possible.? Cheers, Ajay Gora Mohanty wrote: Hi, The next ILUG-Delhi meeting will be held at 2pm, at the JNU Bio-Informatics Centre, on Sun., Aug., 19th. I am posting this on behalf of our esteemed general secretary who is indisposed courtesy of a non-fatal motorcycle accident (normally I would extend more sympathy, but on a motorcycle on Delhi roads, you are asking for it, in my opinion. Gaurav is up and about, and should be at the meeting). Here is a tentative agenda: 1. Presentation on OpenMoko by Deepank Gupta: Introduction to OpenMoko - OpenMoko is the first truly open platform for Mobile Phones and other Embedded Systems. Although we have open solution for applications and GUI in PCs but there is nothing in the Mobile phones. OpenMoko will provide the building blocks which will give mobile developers the freedom to create complex and innovative applications and will benifit everyone ranging from consumers to service providers, hardware developers and tech-enthusiasts. This presentation will aim at introducing openMoko platform along with the specifications and the hardware of neo1973 (the first phone over which openMoko has been implemented). OpenMoko platform is built over openEmbedded and provides its own set of libraries over conventional Linux such as GSM, dbus, GPS etc. The presentation will discuss about the current state of work done on the platform and provide an introduction on the various build tools such as bitbake and openembedded needed for the development. It will also include a sneak preview into QEMU. The platform is still in a pre-alpha stage and is undergoing rapid development. So, the current phone is only meant for geeks and tech-enthusiasts, I will include a tutorial on flashing openMoko on the neo and will also include demos for playing songs and making calls from the phone. 2. Review of status of freed.in, and open call for volunteers: If you are interested in working for freed.in 2007, please be at the meeting. 3. Atul Chitnis, of foss.in fame, will also be at the meeting. According to him, he is only here to listen, so it is up to you all to show up and stop him from speaking. Seriously though, this is a good opportunity to show up, and hear about the refocused aims of foss.in, and to talk about how better to join hands to foster a genuine FOSS movement across India.

I have been using this phone for several months now and I find it much better than other similarly priced phones in terms of features and looks.. Sure it's no Nokia N95 but IMHO it's great value for money.. I completely agree. In fact, this phone has a OCR (optical Character Recognition) to directly read Business cards. How many non-linux phones have these (in this price range ) ? Also for all you geeeks out there, the Mkezx root filesystem can be flashed, you can ssh or telnet into the phone and even run programs and a shell. I'd say the only real negative is the low speaker volume making headphones mandatory for music.. Agreed. I also wish there had been a Wifi-chip to access Wireless internet. It would have been an ideal phone for me then.

Re: [ilugd] Mandriva 2007 Spring Edition
I can probably arrange that for you. I think my friend has the 3/4(?) CD edition. I'll write back to you (off the list) by the end of the day.
