[OT] Rootconf

Nigel Babu — 2012-05-18T02:45:32

Hey folks,

Just sending a note for anyone who's interested.  This is a forward of
the note we sent to the press and I thought there might be someone
interested in this event here as well.

HasGeek presents Rootconf, a conference for sysadmins and devops.
While our previous event, Meta Refresh, examined the engineering that
makes great UI possible, Rootconf looks at the back-end engineering
which makes the same websites secure and snappy regardless of the load
on them. Rootconf also looks at how these websites are hosted. We are
covering cloud and virtualization for cost-efficient hosting,
performance tuning, configuration management when you have multiple
servers, security, and monitoring.

Rootconf is open to practitioners of technology -- the people who
actually design, code and manage servers. Sessions will not only cover
how-to-do-it-yourself, but will also present insights and learnings on
how systems were built and the processes and decisions involved. The
conference features speakers from Red Hat, ThoughtWorks, Deep Root
Linux, among others. Some of the selected talks address:

* Creating and Provisioning Cloud Resources with AWS CloudFormation;
* Introduction to performance tuning in a managed environment;
* Continuous Integration with Jenkins and Hubot; and
* Automated and Adaptive Infrastructure Monitoring using Chef, Nagios
and Graphite

Details of the conference are:
Date: Saturday, 26th May, 2012
Venue: Dharmaram Vidya Kshetram, Christ College Campus, Dairy Circle, Bangalore
Time: 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Event website: http://rootconf.in

Tickets are available at rootconf.doattend.com

For more details, contact Nigel Babu (nigel< at >hasgeek.com) / 98869 09856

Regards
Nigel

Cannot even Browse while Downloading or Updating ubuntu

Jai Luthra — 2012-05-05T06:03:20

While i am downloading something or upgrading ubuntu, it takes all the
bandwidth and i cannot even open a webpage.
I never faced this problem in Windows.
Is it Linux Kernel's bandwidth management problem or an ubuntu-specific one?
I am using MTNL Broadband 512Kbps. New Delhi.

[Off-Topic] Parliament - Say no to Internet Censorship

VIGNESH PRABHU — 2012-04-16T17:54:02

Parliament - Say no to Internet Censorship



The Government notified on April 13, 2011 the Information Technology
(Intermediaries guidelines) Rules, 2011 prescribing guidelines to be
observed by the intermediaries. The rules were issued in exercise of the
powers conferred by clause (zg) of subsection (2) of section 87 read with
sub-section (2) of section 79 of the Information Technology Act, 2000 (Act
21 of 2000). The provisions of the new rules are unconstitutional as they
affect the right to freedom of speech and expression as well as right to
privacy of citizens, are arbitrary being violative of Art. 14 of the
Constitution of India and are ultra vires of the parent act. SFLC.in [1]
has come out with an ebook, Legal analysis of IT(Intermediaries
guidelines)Rules 2011 [2] explaining the impact of the guidelines which the
government has come up with.



FSMK[3] with support of other organizations is planning a national level
campaign against this law which will be discussed in parliament on the
second half of the budget session which starts from April 24th. Hence we
have chosen 21st April for the nation wide campaign against the law.
Content regarding the campaign and the issue is being updated, [4].

Please let me know if the organizations that you are associated with can
support us for this campaign. We are maintaining a list of all organization
who are supporting us [5].



Also please support this campaign by sharing the link of the website[4] and
also by signing the petition [6].



If you are in Bangalore, please join us on 5:00 pm on 21st April at Town
Hall.



We are also looking for any creative posters/ideas related to this topic
which will help us in spreading the word. Please feel free to share such
content with us so that we can update it in the website.

Connecting two Ubuntu laptops to transfer data

Ramnarayan.K — 2012-04-13T04:18:59

Hi

Needed to know what would be the best method to connect two laptops, both
using ubuntu using an ethernet cable, to transfer data directtly. There is
not option to connect onto an existing network.

Many years back a friend had connected his laptop to mine , i think using
ssh .

**
Also it seems that a cross over cable is not essential as the "newer"
ethernet cards are able to deduce and switch to the correct mode
automagically. So is this correct.

look forward to your suggestions and advice

thanks

How to add char "ৰ" into bn-baraha.mim file

Swarup — 2012-03-21T19:01:32

Hello,

I have sent the below mail to Gora Mohanty at <gora< at >sarai.net>, but this
email id does not seem to be active. Does anyone have a current email
address for him?

Also, if anyone can kindly help me with the below two issues, that would
be tremendously helpful...

-------------------------------------- 

Hello Gora,
I hope this email finds you well.

I am struggling a bit with the bn-baraha.mim file, trying to get it
functional. There are only two remaining changes I need to accomplish,
in order to get it working, and am hoping you can help me.

Here are the two issues:

1. Currently for the sound "ba", there is the character "ব" in place.
But I need to change it to "ৰ", and move "ব" to the "va" location. This
is so that I will be able to write Sanskrit shlokas using the Bengali
script. (Both "va" and "ba" are needed in Sanskrit).

I have been able to get the "ব" moved over to the "va" assignment in the
file. And, using another Bengali font I was able to put a "ৰ" character
in for the "ba" sound-- but I could not get it entered as ৰ - halant, as
would be required for proper functionality. So, that I need your help
with.

2. Currently, the Bengali equivalent of ऋ is not working. When I try to
type this character, it appears as "Rউ" . I tried, but could not get it
to work properly.

Thanking you for your kind help in this matter,
Best regards,
Swarup
