It can do more than just GUI programming. A lot more. Qt Designer is a WYSIWIG tool to design the GUI. Qt Creator is an IDE for Qt programming and NOT an interface builder. It integrates, a Code Editor, Help/Documentation, Designer and more. You can choose to use it or not while programming with Qt. There is a lot of awesome documentation/examples to learn Qt right from basics to advanced stuff. Look around this website - http://qt.nokia.com . There is a lot of nice things to read and learn if you are interested. Btw, if you have ever used Google Earth, Skype or Motorola Rokr Phone. They are all developed using Qt. Cheers!

[ilugd] Fwd: An appeal from Wikipedia founder, Jimmy Wales
-- Forwarded message -- From: Pradeepto Bhattacharya Date: Fri, Dec 26, 2008 at 10:33 AM Subject: An appeal from Wikipedia founder, Jimmy Wales To: "GNU/Linux Users Group, Mumbai, India" Hi, A very good friend and old timer of this lug - Vihan Pandey sent this to me and some others, and he rightly thinks this should be sent to the lug-list. http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate/Letter/en?utm_source=2008_jimmy_letter_r&utm_medium=sitenotice&utm_campaign=fundraiser2008#appeal == Dear Reader, Today I am going to ask you to support Wikipedia with a donation. This might sound unusual: Why does one of the world's five most popular web properties ask for financial support from its users? Wikipedia is built differently from almost every other top 50 website. We have a small number of paid staff, just twenty-three. Wikipedia content is free to use by anyone for any purpose. Our annual expenses are less than six million dollars. Wikipedia is run by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, which I founded in 2003. At its core, Wikipedia is driven by a global community of more than 150,000 volunteers - all dedicated to sharing knowledge freely. Over almost eight years, these volunteers have contributed more than 11 million articles in 265 languages. More than 275 million people come to our website every month to access information, free of charge and free of advertising. But Wikipedia is more than a website. We share a common cause: Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's our commitment. Your donation helps us in several ways. Most importantly, you will help us cover the increasing cost of managing global traffic to one of the most popular websites on the Internet. Funds also help us improve the software that runs Wikipedia -- making it easier to search, easier to read, and easier to write for. We are committed to growing the free knowledge movement world-wide, by recruiting new volunteers, and building strategic partnerships with institutions of culture and learning. Wikipedia is different. It's the largest encyclopedia in history, written by volunteers. Like a national park or a school, we don't believe advertising should have a place in Wikipedia. We want to keep it free and strong, but we need the support of thousands of people like you. I invite you to join us: Your donation will help keep Wikipedia free for the whole world. Thank you, Jimmy Wales == Cheers!

Correct if I am wrong, they have got scholarships to work on their respective projects. So work has to be done now. So you have to wait to see their work, once done.

AFAIK, no cannibals in this list. ;) Point they are trying to tell you is - there is *NO* such thing called "Ethical Hacking". Guess what? Hacking is *always* ethical. The term ethical hacking is thus as misnomer. Institutes/People misguide people by cooking up such names, sobriquets and slogans ( dare to dream beyond . ;) ) for their own benefit and vested interests and media helps a lot to spread such ideas. I think, we have yet to see any proof from AF about his tall claims. I mean, I find it hard to believe that FBI called him of all people in world to help them with steganography(?). Maybe I am difficult person to convince but show me some proof atleast. I/We have never seen any source or information that corroborates anything that is mentioned on his website or in the article on wikipedia about him. Speaking about media, other day, I was watching some news channel and a certain uber cyberlaw expert was being interviewed as a part of story about a man from whose account a HUGE amount was withdrawn fraudulently. IIRC, this dude, whom I have seen few times on TV talking about cyber laws and security, says ( how to prevent yourself from such cybercrimes ) ," yeah, you know what I never use any kind of internet banking ( or something to that effect ) and thus safe. " WTF? What kind of security is that? In Bengali there is a saying - "chor-er bhoye maati-te keo khayena" ( atleast heard that at home a few times ) - it means, "fearing a thief you can't eat on the ground" ( not buy utensils etc, thus nothing in the house that could be stolen ). I feel, that is the kind of security ideas that dude practices by not using the facilty at all thusly not effected by the side^bad effects of the facility. These days media loves to make things sensational and thusly we see such news and such people prospering. There are people on this list and other lists who are better "hackers" than AF can ever dream about. Thanks to FOSS, I have met some people who are best in their fields - be it C/C++/OS/Hardware/PHP/Mobile/Linguists/Art/Flamewar/etc ;). AF doesn't come last in that list. He has the blessings of Media and corporate, so good for him. Not good for this young crowd who are so fascinated by the word "hack" without even caring to know the real meaning of that word. Anecdote - Some one year back or so, Roshan B ( people from ilug-BOM should know him well ), asked me to give a talk on KDE at his college. So I went, I gave my talk, showed them some foobar and as a sidenote - I told them about GSoC and about this guy called "Sharan" who as KDE GSoCer from Mumbai who has now become a Umbrello *hacker*. On my way back, one of the students accompanied me to Kurla station. As we were walking towards the platform the dude asks me - Dude : so this Sharan is a hacker? Me : ummm, yes but what do you mean by hacker? D : well, does he stop the internet clock and downloads everything? And does he reboots other's PCs? M : ROFLMAO ( in my mind ) Thank GOD, there was railing on the footover bridge, I was tempted to jump off ;). When I told this to Sharan, he of course felt insulted and that he should be called only a "cracker" ;) So thats it, call yourself a hacker if you want but attaching ethical to it makes no sense to some of us, imo.

How and why is that practical? Do you really mean that? We have very ancient texts and proven knowledge on Maths, Science, Medicine, Astronomy, Literature all written in Sanskrit, Pali, and other languages. Those were not practical? Last I checked, we are still using Zero, and Ayurveda among other things. Those were taught in "native" language during those times, btw. And we didn't have english medium schools then and for a long time until then. Probably not until sometime in/and around 1700s or even later. Cheers!

Err? Why? I have met so many Germans, who use only German UI. Infact, my very good friend who is on this list even, uses a German UI since he learnt some German some months back. In case you were not aware, they even have slightly modified keyboard for their umlaut. I have seen Koreans using KDE translated in Korean. I have seen Karunkar using Hindi UI, Runa Bangla UI, Kartik using Gujarati UI. Ravi blogs only in Hindi afaics. Sri Ramadoss just finished translating complete works for RMS in to Tamil. SMC is flighting to make sure every bit of computing is done in Malayalam. Oh and guess what - they comprise of people ranging from a student to a farmer. I kid you not. KDE 4.1 translation for Malayalam was done by a farmer along with many others. You really think, he will tell his family, villagers, fellow farmers to use computers in English? Btw, now afaik, they are now translating GNOME into Malayalam to make it to the impending release. > > * but Making content (in hindi or Hinglish) which tell how to use computer > as tool will be best for all such Indian, Err?

[ilugd] [X-Post] Reliance WiMax
Hi, Has anybody use the Reliance WiMax (Broadnet) services? I am more interested in their services in Mumbai. Good, Bad, Ugly? Apparently they install separate antenna for each connection. The size of this is as big as a laptop monitor or such, thats what the marketing exec told me. What I want to know is - 1) compatibility with Linux Boxes 2) does it work during the rainy season? Considering that rains in Mumbai or Panvel is slightly on the extreme side ;), does it work fine during the rainy season? I guess the same applies to the DTH setup even. Only reason, I am thinking its worth a try is because I won't have to depend on availabilty of power and such because I will be responsible to provide power to the setup which I can in case of load shedding as well. Thanks in advance. Cheers!

[ilugd] [ Cross Post ] Google Summer of Code '08
Hi, Its time for Google Summer of Code '08. Many of you are already following it. But just a reminder and a friendly poke incase you forgot all about it. Of course, KDE will be there like previous years. Check [1] for more details. As a student, all you need is some enthusiasm, willingness to contribute to KDE and Free Software in general. Knowledge of C++ is almost taken for granted in KDE GSoC. Knowledge of Qt/KDE/PyQt framework and programming is a definite ( huge ) plus. If you are already a contributing code to some KDE application, firstly you r0ck, nextly you did yourself a huge favour and have HUGE PLUS-PLUS :). It also works if you have been sending in patches regularly. So if you are one of them, DO submit a proposal. There is a nice *idea* page on the KDE techbase page [2]. Feel free to browse through that and find something that you like or you might be able to pull off. *Strong recommendation* - Please be creative and write your own project proposal. Nothing impresses mentors more than your own enthusiasm to do something uber cool for the project. It is million times better if you write your own project proposal - may be even your own idea that is not there in the idea page which you think might be a cool feature / addition to KDE - instead of copying something from the idea page. Its a idea page after all and not a proposal template page ;). Please read [3] about certain instructions of participations in KDE GSoC. I repeat, please read [3] before applying. It is very detailed and will mostly answer a lot of your questions and will help you frame your proposal in much better way. Last year KDE GSoC participation [4] [5] was really wonderful. It got 40 projects sanctioned by Google which probably was the largest allocation among all the participating projects. There were 213 proposals submitted to Google and 40 were allocated. 3 of those 40 students were Indians, you have ask them about their experiences. I am very sure that they have good things to talk about the same. Since I have met Piyush and Sharan many times in recent past after the SoC '07, I know for sure that they ( and Anirrudh, the third guy ) loved the whole experience and had a blast. Looking forward to your proposal. Good luck.

[ilugd] [Cross Post] Code review tool
Hi, http://www.review-board.org/ " For too long, code reviews have been too much of a chore. This is largely due to the lack of quality tools available, leaving developers to resort to e-mail and bug tracker-based solutions. At VMware, we've traditionally done code reviews over e-mail. A significant amount of time was wasted in forming review requests, switching between the diff and the e-mail, and trying to understand what parts of the code the reviewer was referring to. We decided to fix all that. " Cheers!
