[ilugd] Linux User Group at NSIT
Hi, We are setting up a Linux User Group at NSIT owing to the increasing awareness about Open Source in our college due to some wonderful open-source projects done by students and participation at open source seminars happening in the past twelve months. We have got a strong logistics and management team of dedicated students in place and would also like to provide ILUG-D with a venue for future events. One of the primary goals of the group will be to transform NSIT into a strong base for open-source in the coming years. Please give us your views on the above proposal. -- Thanks Regards Deepank Gupta NSIT, IT - III Year ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
Re: [ilugd] [OT]Wireless Router
Hi Puneet, You have two options regarding partitioning - either go for a clean install by formatting the drive and dividing the whole into two partitions - One for Ubuntu and one for Windows Vista. Or a better option would be to resize the disk in Windows Vista as it includes its own partition-resizing utility and create enough space for Ubuntu to sit on. Regarding your query on Wireless routers, you should either go for NetGear which is a cheaper option which should be around 2k or go for a slightly higher one byD-Link.

Re: [ilugd] Agenda for talk at NSIT
Hi, I think that this can be the final schedule : Niyam - dazzling demo of the artist in open source and some motivational talk. Kishore - showing of the modern programming languages Gora - showcase web2.0 as cannot exist without open source - utube, flicker, google OR career opportunities in open-source and development methodologies. Sudev - Brief talk with NSITians ... Raj, if you would be able to spare some time to come and interact with NSITians, it will be great. Please tell if there are some more changes in the schedule are to be done as we will be putting up posters and all on Monday. Thanks Regards, Deepank.

Re: [ilugd] Agenda for talk at NSIT
@Gora Please have a talk on how to join an open source project and talk about the various development practices used in open-source. I am saying this because most of the NSITians land in plush jobs after graduation and also the fact that most of the attendees will be looking forward to doing some good projects in open-source. @Vivek You are very right :). Nescafe will have lots of sales on Wednesday and I am already having the feeling of deja vu as there was a lot of heat generated in the August meeting of ILUG over the properiety formats like Flash and other content generation tools. @Linux-Lingam Full circle magazine does rock. Its layout is really very very good and even better than some of the other paid magazines. Anyone can visit the magazine at the url : http://fullcirclemagazine.org . I have myself submitted 2 small snippets for the magazine and am hoping to see atleast one of them published in the 5th issue. :) On 02/09/07, Linux Lingam [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A (and many Free Software magazines) magazine (online) uses Open Source tools for publishing monthly issues.

[ilugd] Agenda for talk at NSIT
Hi, We are going to have a talk on Linux and Open-Source at NSIT Auditorium on 5th September from 3:30 to 5:30 by ILUG in association with CSI, NSIT. Here is the list of speakers and the tentative topics on which we would like the talk to be about. Niyam - Motivating students towards open-source and introduction to freed. Kishore - Benifits of open-source. Gora - How to contribute to open-source and get a project in open-source. Raj - Networking or Philosophy of GPL Sudev - Career opportunities in open-source. We will be having the talks for about 30 minutes each. This is a tentative list, so please feel free to change them. NSIT is the sister college of DCE registered under Delhi university, located in Sector - 3, Dwarka, New Delhi. The talk will be held in the college auditorium in the adminstrative block. Thanks for all the support...

Re: [ilugd] Agenda for talk at NSIT
Sorry for replying late, was not able to get the internet access. Niyam - dazzling demo of the artist in open source Kishore - showing of the modern programming languages? Gora - showcase web2.0 as cannot exist without open source - utube, flicker, google. Sudev - Show off that new palm size thing client and what you can do with it in open source Raj - Networking or Philosophy of GPL I think that these set of topics do look better; but if somebody(Kishore, Gora or Sudev) could also speak about getting good projects in open-source, career opportunities and about the development methodology of open-source, it would be really good. However, the prospect of seeing palm size client looks too good to me. I could not understand the first one though - Dazzling demo of artist in open-source. Does that include publishing and image tools for artists of open-source or something else. I really wanted a motivational talk by Niyam.

Re: [ilugd] Invitation for a talk at NSIT
Actually if your senior gives you permission to copy his/her thesis it's not a copyright violation. It may, however, be deprecated for other reasons (plagiarism, etc.). if you have permission it is not plagiarism either These are precisely the things that we are mostly unaware of and I have myself seen the importance of quoting other people's work and getting to know about licenses under which the material you are quoting has been registered. Kamal can be the perfect person to help us know about various issues related to licenses. We are going to have a technical fest - Innovision in the first week of October at NSIT which would be attended by college students from all over NCR. It will be great if Kamal and other people could come to give talks on various issues related to open-source. I along with some of my classmates am also organising a Linux Challenge for a second year in the row. And some talks by eminent people from ILUG would perfectly complement it. I had a talk with Dr. Gora and Gaurav about it too and both of them were very interested in the endeavour. I hope Kamal, Ajay and others would be able to spare their time for it.

[ilugd] Invitation for a talk at NSIT
Dear all, I, a student at NSIT, would like to invite ILUG members for a talk on Linux in general and freed in particular at NSIT on 5th September, Wednesday, 3:30 - 5:30 P.M. Many people in our college are motivated about Linux and open-source. It will be great if some of the experienced developers and contributors could come and share their experiences with working in open-source with my fellow students. I had a wonderful experience talking to Dr. Gora, Atul Chitnis, Kishore Bhargava, Mrs.Valsa Williams from Intel, Advocate who has been in open-source years before I was even born, Ajay, Kapil and Niyam Bhushan who motivated us all regarding freed. I would like ILUG members to come and share their thoughts and experiences with the whole of NSIT as they did with me at the August meet of ILUGD. Looking forward to meeting you again at NSIT campus in Dwarka.

Re: [ilugd] Invitation for a talk at NSIT
Hi, @Sudev : Thats great. @Gaurav : We would like to have the talk concentrating on the methods by which open source development is done and how we as students can involve ourselves with the open-source development. Gaurav, you yourself can give your example of how you got a job with Dinesh in United Villages through open-source. In addition to that, Dr. Gora will definitely want to talk about the localization of Linux in Indian languages. Regards Deepank.

Re: [ilugd] Invitation for a talk at NSIT
Hi Kamal, It is really great that you have offered to volunteer for a talk at NSIT. You can really help us decide which licenses to choose while starting up our own software projects. Often, many new startups face problems related to licenses, and who would be more qualified than you to give advise to startups in legal matters. But I do not think that it will be a right idea to get students into legal details of open-source as although it makes up a great topic to hear to for a 3rd or a 4th year student, a 1st year may feel lost in the talk. Moreover, it would be unfair to squeeze in 4 talks in a span of 2 hours. If you will be willing, we will schedule a talk solely on legal issues relating to open-source later in this semester. @Linuxlingam : Have I made a mistake in addressing Gora Mohanty as a doctor. I would like to apologise for the misunderstanding. Thanks to all for the wonderful response from the ILUG community. Regards Deepank.
