[ilugd] Ruby on Rails
Hello all! I've been missing in action for a long time :) It's been busy here, tough life here in Canada!

[ilugd] 1 million dollars in open source ;)
Want to win $1 million? Try this Are you a tech whizard? Well, then Computer Associates has a challenge for you which could win you a $1 million! Computer Associates has announced the Ingres Million Dollar Challenge, an unprecedented offer to the open source community to develop migration toolkits for Ingres r3, which was released under the CA Trusted Open Source License. The unique offer is designed to leverage the global developer talent pool, while providing substantial financial compensation to those who successfully meet the challenge. Under the terms of the offer, open source developers are invited to create solutions that enable users of Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase Adaptive Enterprise Server, IBM DB2 Universal Database, Informix and/or MySQL to migrate to the Ingres r3 database platform. Qualifying solutions will be eligible for cash awards of up to $400,000, with a total purse of $1 million. The challenge is open only to individuals who on the date of their submission of an entry are Open Source Community Members, of legal age, and are legal residents of, and are physically located in India, the 50 United States and the District of Columbia, Canada (except Quebec Province), Mexico, United Kingdom, China, Australia and New Zealand. Full details of The Challenge eligibility and the official rules are available at http://ca.com/ingres/challenge. CA announced the offer at LinuxWorld in San Francisco. The offer began on August 5, 2004, and submissions will be accepted until February 1, 2005. Six winners will be announced at caworld, CA's annual user conference, April 17- 21, 2005 in Orlando, Fl. CA's Ingres Million Dollar Challenge underscores our commitment to creating an optimal working relationship between ourselves and the open source community, said Mark Barrenechea, executive vice president of product development at CA. This relationship benefits CA and our customers by allowing us to leverage the cumulative talent of the community, while generating significant opportunities for open source developers around the world. Open source technology has become increasingly appealing to organizations seeking to lower total cost of ownership while taking advantage of the accelerated innovation provided by the open source community. These advantages are particularly attractive in the database space, where proprietary solutions can add significant cost to business solutions and greatly limit the ability of IT to respond to changing requirements. Because it combines open source licensing, advanced features and enterprise-class scalability, Ingres is a particularly compelling alternative to proprietary database platforms, said the media release. Computer Associates is the world's largest management software company, which delivers software and services across operations, security, storage, life cycle and service management to optimize the performance, reliability and efficiency of enterprise IT environments. http://in.rediff.com/money/2004/aug/07ca.htm - This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ ___ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/

[quote] DIGIRISK SPECIALIST Mi2g is likely to get right up the noses of open source advocates everywhere by claiming that Linux servers are the most breached online servers available.

Mi2g claimed it had analysed 17,074 successful digital attacks against online servers and networks in January 2004, with Linux accounting for 13,654 breaches, and Windows for 2005 followed by BSD and Mac OS X with 555 breaches worldwide. But, the company is quick to point out that its figures don't take into account the numerous malware attacks against Windows and mass website defacements were counted as multiple attacks.

Hi everyone We are just considering to get the forum started, lets see if we can pull it off. We cannot do this without everyone's support.

I suggest we can start from a free one, gauge the response, then move on to cost-based ends. What does everyone think ? PHPbb might be reasonably secure if somebody is good at PHP and plug in the holes. So far, we have Manpreet Nehra ready to volunteer and study the phpBB forum, and wants a week's time.

Re: [ilugd] Possible additional feature for the list
And how will the people respond to forum posting summaries ? Checking and responding to emails is far easier than checking the forum website. See guys, a forum is not a must read for everyone of you, to begin with. It's opt-in. It's for our popularity, and the fact that all good websites have forums can be better explained : Most websites that are growing, have a core user base, and are willing to expand and need the expansion, opt in, most likely, for a forum. It has been proved, accept or not, that after the introduction of forums, the visibility of the website has increased manifold, it attracts a wealth of people from around the world. - If we allow posting of anonymous users, we will have to deal with spam. If we require users to register before posting a message, will the search engines be able to search and archive the discussions ? Yes ! It depends on how you select your dynamic URL's to show. I can explain later in detail. - If anonymous postings is allowed, who will deal with weeding out the spam? We are all volunteers, so someone will have to take additional responsibilities. Anonymous postings is a bad idea, and will not be allowed. We are all volunteers, and im sure we will have some people volunteering to be moderators. The question is who ? What happens if the volunteer get slack in his duties ? I am ready. I think we know the people that are responsible, and won't slack like that. That is what strengthens our community here. thread view is possible and archives are maintained, this way person who joins this list will scan thru already posted ques and will not put up already discussed questions again. am i right? No, you're hopelessly wrong. Wrong ? That is very right.

Re: [ilugd] Re: Possible additional feature for the list
Mairu, If you feel so strongly about this, so far you have volunteered to :- 1. Get the free hosting space and install your favourite forums software on that. It is the ILUG community that decides. 2. Coax Raj to point forums.linux-delhi.org to the newly created forums site. Coax ? Why would i need to coax ? It's not my personal benefit. Which he would probably do if you convince him that there shall be no advertisements on Linux Delhi forums(to support the free hosting space that you are providing) That is not a question, i didnt think we went to that low a standard yet. since you have information about my coaxing, i suppose you must know i didnt say anything like that. and how it would help achieve deficit free Union budget, gender equality, world peace. apart from furthering the cause of FLOSS(Free Libre and Open Source Software) Well, supposedly yeah 3. Post the Forum's Subscribe URL to the mailing list and have an Opt-in from members to the Forums ... x. Rope in others who supported the idea of forums as volunteers to moderate it. Thanks for the instructions boss. Unfortunately, this forum cannot be run without the experienced member base of the LUGD coming forward to moderate/sustain it. I have only volunteered for hosting space, not installing, managing, moderating. So, i'm not the only one who will be in this. Atleast, we could give it a try guys. I'm not of the view that forums are the best thing that could happen. But i believe that, beyond techies, there is a world, where its difficult for normal people, people who are new to Linux, for them, it's difficult to understand the small intricacies of Linux, there must be some people who wouldn't appreciate the loads of mail, or just not like the idea. Maybe its too boring for them. Because in the current system, you seem to have only two options : Either go in for all emails or announcements (under construction) There is no selective reading, that's one thing i think is important for new people. For people who have been on this list forever, and who aren't having a problem, will like to continue, but then, can't we change and see ? Can we not see if this new system brings a new cheer in the sort of postings/cross postings that usually happen ? We could become more active, happening, newbie-friendly. Alright, those were just my 2 bucks. I am not a complete techie, so i cannot setup a PHPbb. I'll start a separate thread asking for PHPbb techies who might be able to help.

Quoting Sandip Bhattacharya [EMAIL PROTECTED]: So for example, we might have: 1. Events and other announcements: subject tag [announce]/[event] : topic - announce 2. Jobs/commercial: subject tag [jobs]/[job]/[opening]/[commercial] : topic - commercial 3.

Re: [ilugd] Possible additional feature for the list
Quoting Sandip Bhattacharya [EMAIL PROTECTED]: The problem with forum is that it will try to split the readers - one would either read the mails or read the forum - people dont have time for both. E..no, we'll have a opt-in for the mails, which can have the forum summary of the day being sent to all those wish to get that in text format. Some major positives that i find from the forum community is : High Popularity For ILUG-D Better Linux Awareness Archives more accessible for newbies Attractive and more friendly environment for newbies Organized Moderated discussion possible More community feel Negatives : Bandwidth/Hosting Time We already have a core community with which we can begin the forum in a very big and active way, the next best thing to do..

Hello all I'm not able to play Video CD's on my Redhat 9. Although Kaboodle and XMMS seem to support the raw data format, but dont play it. However, i'm going to download Xine/aptforrpm/Mplayer, which probably will play these files. Which is the most recommended, plays the most variety and outputs high quality video ?

Re: [ilugd] gOTTA play Video
While mplayer scores on performance, with the newer computers the difference is becoming less and less noticeable. Use xine instead which comes with stock redhat 9.

Re: [ilugd] poster
[quote] at the preparation meet, we decided people at the meet decide on the text they want to see on posters, and will send a soft copy to me, which should really be sent directly to [EMAIL PROTECTED] who is mairu gupta, who phoned-in at the meet and said please count him in for all things related to poster-design. mairu will then design, using just text and typography under gnulinux (sodipodi, scribus) posters, some of them could be A4, some could be double A4, in black-and-white or color, outputted to desktop printers on plain sheets, and pasted at the stall. for some raj mentioned you could try a tiled printout (that scales up design across multiple sheets). parallally, mairu needs to find out how much does a banner cost, the one that is usually hand-painted on cloth. this banner is a one-time investment, should fit on a 6 ft x 6 ft stall (which means it could be about 6 ft in width, and perhaps 2 to 3 feet in height). the banner should be all-purpose. it should have the text www.linux-delhi.org and the maharaja tux penguin illustration. we could use this at other meets. once mairu finds out the price, which should be monday afternoon max, the mailing list could decide if it is agreeable and go ahead with it. those at the meeting decided we should not go for large-format plotted outputs, as they cost a huge sum of money. raj said that a volunteer could print to his desktop printer gratis. others recommended bureaux in nehru place and other places that charge rs 30 or so per printout. mairu, please decide what is the best option. all queries for poster and banner are solely with mairu. [/quote] The email can be [EMAIL PROTECTED] ! Since that's my registered email at the ILUGD. had changed to the hotmail one because i was being blocked by outblaze, for whatever reason, but now back again. However, if we need the poster by the 11th, we need to be a little quick with the idea part. I will enquire the price for the cloth poster tomorrow mornin and post it on here. As far as printing the poster is concerned, we would not need more than 5 posters, i suppose, on our stall. Which i can print from my desktop printer gratis. Second, i will want to create a bigger poster as well, (than just A4), so that we have a main attention catcher, which i will get printed from somewhere, and i dont mind bearing the cost for it. However, i need the ideas for the content and design quickly from everybody.

I dont think you understand what was being conveyed. He made it for his own bliss, and that bliss will help the community most effectively. There will one in a million individuals who will ultimately play for their team and not at all look at their own success. For example, the indian cricket team. In any case, here even success is not the question. It's about inner bliss. It's a hard thing to understand vivek ji. Kindly think first. And type after.

The result, such a team will defivnately loose the game. i am saying this on my experience as a soccer team captian, in my school. If you understand what my own inner bliss means, then if any player in the team plays without it, the team will loose most definitely. Quote: Linus designed a toy OS (read his posting on minix newgroup dated 25/8/1991), it was the community which has made it stand out and a challenge for M$, else linux is nothing more than a piece of code. If you properly understand what a community is, then you see, Linus first made it out of his inner bliss. He did not make it for the community to advertise it for him. What he did first was most important, which was out of his inner bliss. What the community did came later. Everything is only a piece of code, by the way. If you like, inner bliss too.
