Especially since the topic of this workshop is multimedia and there will probably be quite some equipment around, can someone take videos of the talks? On a general basis, can ILUGD establish some sort of process to capture talks in all its events? I think equipment, bandwidth, etc. are much cheaper now than earlier. We can use any of the available video sharing services to offer CC based content for the benefit of others. What do you think?

I believe what you meant was Trademarks and Copyrights. You can have Copyright License (GPL is one such) and Trademark License (what RHEL has). Copyrights are used to protect software and a copyright license is considered Free (as in Freedom) if it allows everyone who receive a copy of the program to use, study, change and distribute (modified or unmodified) copies of that program. All the components of RHEL is Free Software. But the collection distributed by Red Hat in CDs or DVDs also have a license. You can think of it as a collection of poems in the public domain. Even though individual poems remain in the public domain the collector has a copyright over the collection. Now trademarks are something different. It is used to protect brands. It ensures that you get what you think you are getting. RHEL name and logos are trademarked by Red Hat. That means if you see RHEL with Red Hat logos you can be sure it is from Red Hat. In the same way Mozilla Corporation own trademarks to Firefox. You need a license from the owner of the trademark (in the same way as copyright) to use that brand. CentOS removed the name and logos from RHEL and is distributing the same collection. In the same way Debian changed Firefox name to Iceweasel. Trademarks does not restricts the Freedoms mentioned in the Free Software definition. Btw please avoid using the term ipr. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/not-ipr.html It implies either you are confused or you want to confuse everyone.

Re: [ilugd] help with setting up ubuntu on dell vostro 1310
Time to switch to a more current distribution like Debian then? :) [snipped] -- Raju I actually took Raju's bait and installed debian testing on the laptop. And this mail is to thank him and record the preliminary results of the shift. 1. Debian (testing/lenny) installed without any issue. 2. As Raj had pointed out, the ethernet card worked once the latest kernel was used. 3. Wireless card worked with ndiswrapper. I had only the first dvd of the lenny distribution. Thoughtfully, ndiswrapper was provided on it so I did not have to connect to the internet to install it. 4. Interestingly, the internal mic did not work with ubuntu despite all sorts of tweaking. The webcam worked after some work. Quite a few people have written on the internet about problems with getting ubuntu to use internal mic on Del vostro laptops. These did not work with even the latest (2.6.27) kernel on ubuntu. With debian lenny (2.6.26 kernel), internal mic and the webcam worked straight out of box!! 5. I have both ubuntu 8.04 and debian lenny installed on the system. They share /home, and therefore, much of the gnome configuration files. With the same configuration, Debian's default appearance seems ugly in comparison with ubuntu. In particular, the fonts are too large and made the desktop and some applications look ugly. Both ubuntu and debian have the same screen resolution (1280x800) and it does not look like either has a problem with my graphics card (intel). My present solution is to shift to a smaller size, but that does not solve all the problems. For example, emacs still has HUGE fonts. 6. Running compiz on debian required some tweaking of xorg.conf. To sum, so far, debian lenny has worked much better on this machine than ubuntu 8.04 did. There are a few minor issues with the debian installation but it recognised all the hardware so much better than ubuntu did.
