[ilugd] RIP Atul
Just came to know from twitter. Atul Chitnis is no more http://www.nextbigwhat.com/atul-chitnis-297/ Very disturbing to see some great souls Raj and Atul going after one another. I still remember Atul and Raj encounter couple of times in ILUGD. Hope they have some great discussions now. You'll be remembered Atul.

Guys, Need help in creating some daily reports of a self hosted svn server. I looked into svnstat but was disappointed, what is the best paid/non-paid solution available.

I dont think that's possible with svnblame. Correct me if I am wrong. How about doing an svn blame DAILY and saving this file,and seeing it's daily diff.

Anyone interested ? Recovering this thread. This should be about belling the cat, not killing kittens. Some ideas to take forward A. What? (1) I think we should plan for an ILUGD GBM (ILUGD - the society). It has been a few years since we had our normal 5-member GBM's and probably a good time to see if we can shake up the governing body, with - well - some new bodies. +1 , for this. Also, before going into it we need to make sure that there are enough people who know about GBM and are willing to contest for elections. (2) Incubating expertise-based-hubs for sub-communities, based on disciplines/platforms/solutions... [There has been some sporadic discussion among a group of us - with the ultimate aim of planning towards Freed.in (201x - where x=1,2). This was one of the points which would concern ILUGD - the community, and is a change in strategy to shift a general purpose ILUGD community with now very diverse interests to LUG-D-interested-I's into forming specialised self-organised-groups which will serve as hubs within the wider community. We knew that Pratul and kinshuk are working on the same, can anyone of two please come forward and present a session which talks more about current expertise-based communities we have in NCR. Three most prominent ones i see is of Open source gaming, Drupal and Security related. Are there any more which we are missing ? (3) New Distros - The govt is now rolling out the National Knowledge Network, and there is better bandwidth at educational institutions - as you have probably noticed if you have downloaded from IIT-K and IIT-M over the last few months. Anyone up to planning a community managed mirror to be hosted at JNU for (at least) the Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and CentOS trees? Diskspace and server will be provided from Localhost. This would be a great project for any college group, simple but yet substantial to look into resume. B. When and Where? [Probably best to NOT reply to these points on the list, as too many one-liners on an unguided listing of Delhi's hell-holes/coffee shops is not really in anyone's interest. Will leave this to the dependable Gora to kill this kitten with one tome, hopefully at a later stage in the thread] JNU , 17th April would be great.

Which inevitably solve there one or other problem. If you are looking forward to ideate onto a product , get into product development , create marketing/sales system , create a delivery channel , fix bugs/releases and create a efficient support system for your consumers. Great , go ahead do it. But have atleast a million dollars and couple of years with you before making a sustainable business venture. There are tons of proprietary softwares coming out daily and they will continue to be out in the market. FOSS model works perfectly when you want to crowdsource all the effort including development, bug fixing , delivery channel and marketing. All this while still you own the software. Imagine the amount of marketing spend you have to do if you need to make apache , firefox a brand which it is currently. It's a very smart way to create a sustainable brand , rest of money will follow from various other ways. Look at Wordpress (Matt), Canonical (Mark) and read through there entrepreneurial journey, these guys get the FOSS culture and mass needs perfectly and cashing it out for there own good. It's a very smart way of doing business, only when you get it perfectly. And in the end there is always the freelancing model of work through which hundreds of indian freelancers and IT professionals are making crores each year. A perfect need of market where a client A needs some solution and freelancer B takes some open source software customize it with the client need and meet the solution of client. A is always charged of the full software value and the open source software benefits from the customization and module development B has done. A win win situation for everyone. :) My two cents.

Re: [ilugd] Data accessed via API
On Tue, Sep 14, 2010 at 1:23 AM, Ankit Chaturvedi ankit.chaturv...@gmail.com wrote: On Mon, Sep 13, 2010 at 7:07 PM, Gaurav Mishra gauravtec...@gmail.comwrote: Guys, Lately, got this case while working on a internal project. Let's say we have a X software which provides a API so that third party apps can integrate with the existing core system and extend functionality , now we are not changing any code here but using the underlying data via API. In that case should i need to open source my modules/third party app ? (I believe SugarCRM works that way only, however wordpress recently forced users to make there plugins open source which is contradictory). The straight answer is it depends on the license of the API. Generally you'll find three popular licenses, so here's a simple explanation for these cases. LGPL: Only propagates if original source code is modified. Any derivative work is considered independent, so in your case no need to release the code. If you do modify/add the APIs then you only have to release the modified source, not your application's source. That is, no version of the library can be non-free, though programs using this library can be free. GPLv1: Technically, GPL propagates upon linking to a GPL library. So if your 3rd party software is gplv1, you will need to release your source too. There are many caveats to this, mainly concerning the definition of linking as GPL was mostly written with C in mind. Its status on partially compiled languages (such as java) or interpreted languages is unclear at best. Due to this confusion, authors usually add another 'artistic' license to their libraries which do make such a distinction and hence may contain additional clauses to the license. GPLv2: Terms state this: GNU GPL V2: 2. These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. So in this case again the boundaries aren't very clear but it does imply that plugins/scripts etc will fall under gplv2. So in your case, if the api is gplv2 and if your app cannot function without the said api (obviously) it is deemed to be v2 and your source needs to be released. Again, many many caveats though I'm not going to list them all. So in short, read the file called LICENSE and diff with the GPL text to find out additions. Or ask the library author. Its important to note that APIs themselves cannot be licensed under any circumstances. Wordpress is GPLv2, so plugins written using wordpress api are automatically derived works and deemed GPL. Its only fair that plugin writers not make their money off wordpress author's work when they themselves aren't, right. Hope this helps. Thanks for the detailed explanation ankit. It really helped.

On the other hand i have heard bad stuff about IIT as a venue , With some big problems in Wi-Fi availability. Not sure if it still like that.

Agreed. I say we throw around a whole bunch of ideas on BOF meeting topics, gauge interest and hold several of them every month. A few topics (off the top of my head) that I am personally interested in right now. Hold a BOF and I'll be there (schedule permitting) - 1. FOSS document sharing and publishing. Especially an alternative to PDF. 2. Any web dev topics PHP/RoR/Python, AJAX, anything. 3. FOSS platforms suitable for embedded systems. OpenMoko, Android. Embedded Forth/Erlang/Scheme/Python. 4. FOSS Functional programming. Haskell, Erlang, Scheme. 5. Foss alternatives for shared Calendars, shared code development, shared todo lists, milestone and task management. 6. What's up in Ubuntu/Debian. Ubuntu 9.04. 7. Gnome roadmap. Gnome translations into local languages. Getting a better user experience in Gnome (install Thunar, AWN, and global menu bar!) 8. What's up with Firefox? What's up with Chrome? What's up with Epiphany and Dillo? 9. New advances in Javascript engines. V8. Tracemonkey. 10. FOSS based massive information management. Search engines.

Re: [ilugd] ILUGD (society) as a funding umbrella for FOSS development
On Sat, Mar 14, 2009 at 8:23 PM, Andrew Lynn lynn.and...@gmail.com wrote: This is to seed discussion on a proposal to add a function to the ILUGD society: That of a funding umbrella for community FOSS based development Background: (Personal opinion) (1) The FOSS community is made up of a relatively large number of FOSS users and a smaller number of FOSS developers. Most are active users and evangelists in the late teens-early twenties, before largely moving into jobs where they are lost to the creative use of FOSS in building their careers. A lucky few join FOSS-supportive organisations (e.g Yahoo, Google) which encourage their use of FOSS and pay them sufficiently to build a career. The remaining enthusiasts work largely as hermits in self-run smaller organisations or as individuals. Their opportunities for creative use of their FOSS skills are limited due to lack of financial support in India. Many service the SME/NGO vertical, based on personal contacts. The services are largely system administration and content management. As individuals, they lack the organisational structure to bid for larger projects. Community based development projects lack the accountability required to deliver results. Quite true, Accept every fact stated above. (2) The LUG as a space for a physical face-to-face meeting has long been redundant with increased use of collaboratories based on internet technologies. LUG meetings now have sparse attendance. The LUG needs to redefine its role. LUG comprises of people and we are seeing a huge shift in younger generation in methods of colabration over internet, The web is no longer forums , lists or irc. Leveraging Social media tools with LUG discussions may be a nice idea IMO Post Freed.in/2009, we have discussed a few models in which an organisation could serve as an umbrella to funnel projects to community development. (1) Serve as a message board and match-making role The list presently allows commercial offerings to be made. (This could be more formal such as e.g. [1]) While the list works sufficiently well for outsourcing minor components of projects by organisations that control the project's funding, this does not work for government funded projects which do not permit solicitation. Hmm, If i am not wrong ILUGD as a society can't be/shouldn't be involved in commercial transactions and understandings. Correct me if i am wrong ! (2) A FOSS based organisation that has developed a corporate structure and business model to employ community participants in relevant projects would be ideal. I am not aware of any such organisation, and if these exist they are not relevant in govt. bids. Most organisations also work with a closed group of employees, and do not allow space for skill and project-based employment. Credibility is a huge issues, In crowdsourced model it's very difficult for people to be acccountable. I propose that ILUGD takes on this role. There have to be some changes in its structure for this to happen: A shift from a volunteer based management to a secretariat which would be required for responding to RFPs and project management, as well as some system of managing accountability. Employees are not permanent but work on a project based on skills, and we could tap skills through moonlighting as well. The modular way Sarai fellowships are working can be a nice example in this case , IMO I would like to suggest an OSDD model for community participation: We have 4 roles - loosely based on the credit card systems. Everyone joins as a blue card. You can work on a project with a supervisor. Based on commit rights and contributions, you are promoted to a silver card, which allows you to supervise projects for which infrastructure is available. Further promotion - again merit based - moves you to a gold card, which allows you to bid for funding to execute projects. The platinum cards are responsible for getting in the major funding. Sounds good !, But the practical issue that we may see can be:- 1) The main issue is lack of participation or initiation by people , People are happy to create noise , Come chat etc. There is no real participation. They are just too afraid to try out. 2) Can we provide enough brand name and recognition to the coders to get them motivated for projects ?

Why don't you go ask other companies provide online services to the community to open source their server software? Quite a few of those come to mind!
