[ilugd] Google Summer of Code and FOSS Outreach Program for Women internships
Hi, Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) is software that gives the user the freedom to use, copy, study, change, and improve it. FOSS contributors believe that this is the best way to develop software because it benefits society, creates a fun collaborative community around a project, and allows anyone to make innovative changes that reach many people. Google Summer of Code is a global program that offers students stipends to write code for FOSS projects. Participants work remotely from home, while getting guidance from an assigned mentor and collaborating within their project’s community. The application deadline for Google Summer of Code is May 3 and the program dates are June 17 to September 23. The stipend for the program is $5,000 (USD). The organizations that will participate in Google Summer of Code this year will be announced on April 8. Starting to work with an organization as early as possible and making a few code contributions to the project you want to work on is essential for a successful proposal. http://code.google.com/soc In an effort to get more women involved in FOSS, a number of organizations are offering Outreach Program for Women internships through a program organized by the GNOME Foundation. The internships have the same structure, the same stipend and similar program dates. The application deadline for the Outreach Program for Women is May 1 and the program dates are June 17 to September 23. Unlike in Google Summer of Code, participants do not need to be students and non-coding projects are available. In addition to coding, projects include such tasks as graphic design, documentation, bug triage and marketing. To apply, you need to connect with an organization early and make a few contributions relevant to the project you want to work on. https://live.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen The mentorship opportunities are also available throughout the year for anyone interested in getting started contributing to FOSS outside of the formal internship program. In addition to the organizations participating in the Outreach Program for Women, more organizations that offer informal mentorship to all newcomers are listed here: http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/Mentors Please consider applying for Google Summer of Code or FOSS Outreach Program for Women, encourage someone else to apply, or help spread the word by forwarding this message to any interested university and community groups.

Going to a virtual terminal, with ctrl-alt-f*, and then, after logging in as 'user1', 'startx -- :1' will start another x-server, as user1.

And this gives me all the problems with Bangla, I have already reported the problems to bengalinux.org. A particular ODT in Bangla on which I am working for almost two years, a span within which I have worked on it from three different OS, SuSE, RH and Ubuntu, is all OK now in Fedora when I send it to some Fedora machine. But, it is all mixed up in Ubuntu. Even the earlier version of Ubuntu was OK with it. It is a very lengthy essay with lot of linear algebra, concerning Marx's Value Algebra. Now, even the equations and the page numbers are also mixed up. Let alone the 'smartquote' problem. The 'endquote' for both single and double quotes are not anymore getting transformed into 'smartquote'. Some of the characters have also got mangled. It is a nightmare now. But, on Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay's machine, F7, they are all OK. Mukhopadhyay sent me all the screen-shots. If you knew Bangla, or had Bangla support on your machine, I would have requested you to try it on your machine too. And the laptop where I was installing the Hindi support, I did it from a 'debmirror' repository, locally on my desktop, which is used by many of my friends, and it is updated regularly, just the 'main', 'universe', 'multiverse' portions for i386. I completed the last update just a few hours before the installation. So, I don't think it is an update problem. I think the problem is in what I would prefer to call a 'premature birth' of Feisty.

[ilugd] Hindi and Ubuntu 7.04
Hello Friends I am facing a queer problem in Ubuntu 7.04 Hindi. I installed the keyboard layout and the Hindi fonts and all, as suggested by apt-get. Now, after, opening the OOo window, I can type the English or Bangla text quite normally. But, when writing Hindi, a peculiar problem is popping up. Let me elaborate it with an example. For a try, I started typing 'sarfaroshi ki tamanna'. As the Devnagari layout goes, key-m stands for Hindi-'s', so I typed it. It showed. But now, adjacent to this the Hindi 'r' would not show. If I type a space, and then hit the key-j, which is meant for Hindi 'r' it will show. And then I can come back and delete the space. And this way continued for the whole word 'sarfaroshi'. Even with the two vowel marks, 'o' and 'i', the same thing happened. After Hindi 'r' I have to type a space and then I can type the key-a, which is meant for Hindi 'o', and then I can come back and delete the space. Though the OOo Font field was showing 'Deja-vu', it was using some Hindi Font, the name of which I don't know. Now I tried 'Lohit Hindi', the Bangla version of which is quite a good font. But, the same thing happened. I must be doing some very silly mistake somewhere, but, please don't get angry with me for disturbing the list with it. The fault goes more to my wit, than me. Should I try a 'restart' -- the bad old MSW way?

But, a new problem is coming there. In Hindi how do you conjoin? Like, say, I am writing 'santa' of 'santa ramdas', would it be like this 'm' for 's', 'v' for 'n', then 'd' for conjoining, and 'l' for 'ta'? If that is the process, then 'gedit' is giving a problem too. The 'ta' is getting conjoined not after 'n', but after 's'. Please tell me the correct way of conjoining. So, all this problem was coming from Ubuntu OOo? That is quite probable. In Bangla too, Ubuntu is giving a lot of problems. Some Bangla essay, which I am writing for quite a long time, around two years, is getting mangled in many ways by Ubutnu 7.04 OOo. Though it is reading quite nicely in Fedora, with all the things in their proper place. What to do now? I have to enable both Hindi and Bangla support in this old Compaq laptop of one of my colleagues. Shall I install something else? Any suggestion? This colleague, just like me, is no developer. But quite an intensive user of Wordprocessing and very usual things like browsing, writing mails, or occasional music or movie.

[ilugd] Hindi Keyboard and Ubuntu
Hello Friends For one of my Hindi-speaking colleagues in Calcutta I am installing Ubuntu. I am a regular user of the Bangla things in Ubuntu. What I do is that install the Bangla fonts and add a keyboard layout (in my case Probhat) from the System-Preference-Keyboard-Layout menu. But, in case of hindi, I installed all Hindi things from apt-get, they are all OK, but I am not getting any Hindi Keyboard in the India section of Add Keyboard Layouts. There are Bangla, Tamil, Gurmukhi, and others, but no Devnagari or something like that. What to do? Something else I have got to install? --- das ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - September 28-29, 2007 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

I have been using Windows Vista Ultimate for the last 4 months and I send my mails from Outlook. I have never faced any issues. I do agree that Linux is an excellent OS but it holds good only for servers. I have never come across any mission critical applications running on Windows servers. Its mostly UNIX or Linux. I have even seen some servers running on Novell NetWare. Microsoft has already captured the desktop market way back in 1995 when Windows 95 was released.

Thanks to people like Dell, we have started to get the right kind of opportunity to go preloaded. Its we, GNU/Linux users have to take some responsibility in at least creating an awareness amongst our friends and relatives circle. The reason why Dell is giving a choice of pre-loaded Linux is because they don't want to pay Microsoft for a Windows licence. Moreover, they are doing this to bring down the price of their entry level PC's. When Microsoft releases any new version of their desktop OS, they don't need to do anything to convince people to migrate to it. They phase out the earlier versions and make their current versions as the only available choice. PC manufacturers end up with no choice. Do Windows users try to convince their friends or relatives to use XP or Vista ? They don't because there is no need to. It's already available on their PC's :) More than the Linux community, I feel it's up to companies like Red Hat and Novell to promote the Linux desktop. And there too, they are targeting corporate and not the home segment. IMHO, its up to Red Hat and Novell to promote Linux on the desktop and not the LUGs.

[ilugd] FC6 Display Problems
Dear Friends
After installing FC6 on my Athlon 1800+ machine, with SiS VGA ('lspci' detects
Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760/761 PCI/AGP VGA Display
Adapter), and the monitor being LG Flatron E700S, the X was problemsome in
the sense that a lot of black border was getting there on the console on all
the four sides. I tried to fix it in FC6, but it was showing only generic
'CRT' display and an outlandish screen resolution.
The way out was a bit stupid. I just copied the 'xorg.conf' from the SuSE 10
installation, without the file section obviously, and pasted it in the
'/etc/X11' directory. And, really to my surprise, now everything X started
working nice in FC6. But, as expected, there are problems: when i want to log
out from X, at times it works and at times it hangs.
Is there a not so stupid way out from this X fix in FC6? Till i am in X, FC6
is really working nice, and i need it particularly for its Bangla support,
that is the best among the distributions i know, so i need to keep this
installation.
Thanking in advance,
das

In SuSE, the packages 'sshfs' and 'fuse' had to be downloaded from Sourceforge. The first run did not go, because, the 'configure' script was getting the fuse kernel module in SuSE, but something did not work. Maybe it was a version inconsistency.

Re: [ilugd] white box enterprise linux and redhat 9.0 which is better?
Dear Abhishek, White Box is based on RHEL 3.0 source, so obviously better that atleast RH 9.0 but for upgradation you may experiance problems. and again 64mb RAM is not suficient enough for a RHEL grade installation and hosting. i myself sometime experiance problems with servers having 2GB RAM with dual processor and RHEL 3.0. currently i use RHEL 3.0 on 90% of my 50+ boxes. if you are a newbie don't go for ACL based security and for administration hire a pro. regards sibayan On Wed, 1 Dec 2004 15:38:03 +0530, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear Friends, I have a option of installing one of the two distros on mine machine.

Re: [ilugd] Firewall on linux server
Hi Abhishek, cPanel will be a better option than webmin. and you can try APF (http://www.rfxnetworks.com/apf.php) for your firewall issue. but RH 9.0 is not a good option for security. APF is based on iptables and it is easily configurable. but firewall is not the ultimate solution for security, you have to fine tune and optimize apache its modules, bind mail server. as much as i know you opted for VDS but it wont be a good solution in future you'll experiance routing issues means downtime means bad impression to the customers. anyway it is totally upto you. regards sibayan On Tue, 30 Nov 2004 19:35:34 +0530, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear Friends, I have recently taken up a dedicated server for webhosting (redhat 9.0 with webmin as the control panel).
