Even though the conference is over, there's still work to be done :) I've already announced a wiki page[1] that lists all presentations/posts/photos/videos related to FUDCon KL. Please add your entries there. There were quite a few of us there, and the wiki page doesn't reflect that in magnitude yet :P Please upload your presentations to archive.org as well and add the link on the wiki page. Do remember to tag all your work with 'fudconkl2012' (photos, presentations, vidoes, blogs). That will make it easy to find.

The following tasks needs to be done on a regular basis: * Update and test Askbot whenever there is a new upstream release * Coordinate with Kevin Fenzi (nirik in #fedora-admin) for deploying to staging instance and test it for regressions, flesh out new features etc * Deploy to production instance after testing. Having some knowledge of Puppet would help in doing this task but if not coordinate with Kevin for this as well * Developing or coordinating development of new features useful for Ask Fedora. Python and Django knowledge would be useful for this step but not mandatory * Develop policies for moderators, helping out as a admin for Ask Fedora and keeping an eye on the forum in general, including unanswered questions. * Last but not the least, participate in the forum itself but asking or answering questions. You can delegate some of these tasks and do it as a team. Let me know if you want to take over.

Since Harish is the only Comm Arch person responsible for all of APAC, we think it's better to open all tickets at the APAC trac where they can be discussed at the bi-weekly APAC meetings, and are all at one spot for Harish to review. Keeping this in mind, I've opened a ticket with FAmSCo requesting the the India trac be made read only, and all future tickets for *all of APAC* be opened in the APAC trac. The ticket is here[1]. It'll be discussed in this APAC meeting this Saturday (again) to make a final decision. I request you to please post your comments on the ticket, or at the APAC meeting (which is preferred).

Day I A Mani [5] started the day's proceedings with an introduction to Free/Libre/Open Source Software, and basic shell commands. We had a computer lab with Fedora installed where the participants used the terminal to try out the hands-on exercises. I then introduced Publican to the audience comprising mostly of students and faculty. Jared Smith [6] had presented Publican during FUDCon Pune 2011 [7], and, with his permission, I added more content and a lab section. The participants were able to use Publican to create and build documents with Bengali content! After lunch, Sourav Sen Gupta [8] gave an introduction to LaTeX [9] and Beamer [10] with his "'Golden Ratio' for Typesetting - A quick and random introduction to LaTeX and Beamer" presentation.</pre> Shakthi Kannan 2012-03-30T06:46:41 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.india/4789 <pre>Hi, I attended and also gave a lightning talk at RubyConf India 2012 [1] at the Hyatt Regency, Pune [2], Maharashtra, India between March 24-25, 2012.

This was followed by the recorded video keynote by Yukihiro Matsumoto [4] on Ruby, its history, and his focus on Ruby for embedded and scientific computing for the next couple of years. mruby for embedded systems will be an interesting project to look forward to this summer. I then attended the talk on "Using Ruby to Craft and Test Beautiful Command Line Applications" by Nikhil Mungel and Shishir Das, who gave useful examples on how to construct meaningful and helpful command line tools.

Most of the student participants were familiar with the the *nix desktop. I explained to them the various project, communication guidelines, and best practices that they need to follow when working on free/open source software projects. I had also introduced them to the various Fedora sub-projects that they can participate and learn from. I was invited four years ago by the Pengufest [4] team of Pragyan, but, I couldn't make it then. Apparently, my presentation has been circulating among them for quite some time, and they now got to hear it from the horse's mouth. On Saturday, as part of the Pengufest track there were sessions held by Dr. Viswanath Poosala [5] on "Engineering Innovation - A recipe for coming up with disruptive ideas", and sessions on "How to be a Hacker?", "Functional Programming and w</pre> Shakthi Kannan 2012-02-27T07:18:36 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.india/4772 <pre>Hi, We Need Fedora Discs and Goodies for our upcoming event in College fest Algorhythm'12 &lt;http://www.algorhythm12.in&gt; at Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi on 3rd and 4th March 2012 .

I then attended Srikant Patnaik's [7] talk on "Web based embedded project design" [8]. He demonstrated a simple example of using an LED with Arduino and controlling it with a Python CGI webserver. He also demonstrated the use of Fritzing to build the demoed circuit.

From Archwiki: "The Arch User Repository[1] (AUR) is a community-driven repository for Arch users. It contains package descriptions (PKGBUILDs) that allow you to compile a package from source with makepkg and then install it via pacman." The benefit of this is: 1. You cut down on hosting as the PKGBUILD only contains instructions to download from the original file repo. As an example check PKGBUILD for lightdm[2]. 2. A package could be put into something like the AUR before it is pushed to a more stable repo. Opinions? Thanks! Funfact: If you consider AUR, Arch Linux has ~35020 packages which are more than those in Debian Unstable (~30500) [1]https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Yaourt [2]https://aur.archlinux.org/package</pre> Anuj More 2012-02-09T02:37:27 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.india/4760 <pre>Hi all, As an Eucalyptus (http://open.eucalyptus.com) Community member in India, I am very excited to share the news that Eucalyptus contributing members will be present in Pune during gnuNify 2012, next week.
