one was a hurdle.
I was not aware of the feature provide by flickr, that you can set

2) Look at bottom, click at select all

3) Drag all selected pics to main area


4) Click on Permission -> Select licensing

Open source school management software

> 1. Student information system (Online viewing of students activities both
> academic and extra-curricular,attendance,Marks grade etc).
>

Opensis (*http://opensis*.com/) : It is a very interesting tool to start
with . It stared with postgresql as backend database but soon migrated to
Mysql with the aim to be intergrated with Moodle (http://*moodle*.org/ ).So,
its really cool to deploy both opensis and moodle and wait for the opensis
integration with moodle so that they both can have a SSO.

Also not to forget they have a SMS module (not included in the community
version) that can be used to inform the parents about their wards
performance, attendance and other things

2. Library management module.
>

Koha (http://www.*koha*.org/)
NewgenLib (http://www.verussolutions.biz/)

Koha no doubt is the best available solution but govt. committees have more
confiidence in Newgenlib (because of unknown reasons :P ) so better go for
Newgenlib if you have to take permission from one of these yes of library
committees.Also I am a bit doubtfull about the acquisition module of the
koha , someone told me that this module is a bit cumbersome as far as Indian
financial auditing policies are concerned

Also another important things to note here is that whether the staff and
student of that school will take it or not as login to all these services
are separate and it will be really painful for them to login into these
services separately.

You can also have a look at how HP govt. is going to implement this in all
its government school's in the coming time as deepak has told me long ago
that HP govt. is in process to have a Prop. solution for the same.

If Govt. pays for maps, does'nt the geographic data become public? #fosscomm

To: network@lists.fosscom.in


Dear All,

Bangalore's municipal boundaries were re-drawn 3 years ago and the number of wards were increased. In order to have maps of all the new wards, the government has paid a private company (atleast 50 lakhs, not sure of the correct figure though) to get the maps done.

Here is a sample of the maps -
http://www.bbmpwards.org/bbmporg/BBMP_Localitysearch.aspx?id=1944&Locality=KENCHENAHALLI

I needed the geographic data of Bangalore(shapefiles) and hence approached the government for the shapefiles, who in turn asked me to approach the private company. The representative of the private company initially said he cannot give me the shapefiles since his contract with the government was only to provide jpgs! He later said he'll discuss with the government and get back to me .

This raises a few questions-

1)Isn't 50 lakhs a large sum to just get jpg maps?

2)If the contract mentions maps only and doesn't specify jpgs, shouldn't the government be the owner of the data , that is the shapefiles?

3)Assuming in case the company does hand over the shapefiles to the government, what will be the policy governing public access to this data? I'm assuming existing policy framework does not contain guidelines for geographical/geospatial data. Anyone knows if this is right or wrong?

The only geographical data policy we seem to have have (http://www.dst.gov.in/scientific_services/nationalmappolicy.pdf ) covers Survey of India and its maps only.

Also, there were plans to develop a National Geospatial Data Authority Bill but I cant find a draft of it anywhere.

Please do let me know your thoughts on the above.

Thanks,
Vinay.

Hi All,

According to StatCounter Global Statistics the most used browser
version on the web is Firefox 3.5. Congrats to Mozilla (and the open
web)!

But we can use this as a rallying call to do more. Let's Finish Off
IE6 (remove the links to IE8 and Safari if you want, and maybe add one
for Opera).

(I also posted this on my blog,

The stats for India are unfortunately much more in favor of IE6
(http://gs.statcounter.com/chart.php?browser_version-IN-weekly-200827-200951)
But together we can do something about that,

[tip] Shortcut for Compose mail in GNU OS

Here is a small tip
-----------------------
when ever I want to mail someting (mostly from gmail), it take
some effort to open Gmail UI which takes 20-30 second and then click
on "Compose mail". However you can directly load mail editor (gmail
Or whatever) using this trick
Right Click and Click on "Create Launcher" , and put Command ==
"firefox mailto://" -- see Image 1
this will load email editor. If you are like gmail then you can set
gmail as default editor in firefox by Firefox Preference -
"Application" -> set mailto (see image 2 )
After mailing launcher you can actually drag and paste the
icon on "menu Panels"

Students in India feel happy by "The M$ trap" #boycottnovell

I feel very bad when I see such type of mails. RKGIT is one institute
in Delhi India and This is just an example of students in India who do
not know about the M$ trap and do not awareness about FOSS and Open
Standards. I do not know when such school and Engineering college will
feel power and internal learning on FOSS tools in their syllabus.
I must say - "Indian govt must enforce certain rules on Microsoft and
other companies that they should not interfere with the education
system and do not send their crappy product in engineering colleges
and schools of my nation".

Subject: [nitdgplug] [X-POST] WANTED: Students who want to learn OpenGL / Qt :)

Hi

If someone is interested in learning OpenGL / Qt, please let me know.

KStars, the application I maintain, requires a lot of love in this
aspect. Although it has a lot of features, it lacks eye-candy - mostly
because we don't use OpenGL.

If someone is interested in learning these by way of contributing to
KStars, please send me mail, and I should be able to help during
December.

This is (hopefully) a win-win situation. KDE benefits by getting a
nice new GUI and you benefit by learning OpenGL/Qt and real world
coding.

Pre-requisites:
1. C++
2. An open mind
3. A steep learning curve

Hi,

For the last two years Zyxware has been successfully running a low
cost Free Software CD/DVD distribution service at
http://www.zyxware.com/requestcd. People across India have been
utilizing this service to get access to the different Free Software
Operating Systems and other Free Software packages without having to
download them from the internet. Although we were running the service
at an at-cost policy and we did not promote it other than through the
user groups, it had succeeded in reaching to different parts across
the country. We are extremely grateful to the people who have helped
us in spreading the word about the RequestCD service.

We had to take down the old system as part of upgrading our site and
we have re-launched the Request CD service under an online shop at
Zyxware.com. The requestcd URL will
take you directly to the list of Free Software distributions and
packages available from us. There are currently around 250 different
distributions, versions and full repositories available.

If you do not see a Free Software OS distributions or repository
online at the shop you can please let us know by email at
requestcd@zyxware.com and we will try to download and add them to the
list.

If you like this service I would humbly request you to consider
blogging/twittering about the service and help us spread the word
about it. I hope that you will continue to find our Free Software
services useful and help us in spreading the power of Free Software
across the country. I look forward to hearing your
feedback/comments/suggestions.

[fiction] Why you shouldn't keep your child in a school where M$'s son study

This is a small article which highlight the reasons why you should
keep your child (A) in a school where M$'s son (B) is a classmate. If
you do so, your child will get following problems.

1) B's has already taken a patent on a unique notemaking technique in
classroom. (Actually, that notemaking technique is noting but B is
making his note from blue/red/black pen which he use to make his note
attractive. He claim that, using use colours will make more readable
notes and thus better understanding of notes). Prior to this patent,
everybody was using pencil. So nobody has taken care about this unique
notemaking technique using blue/black pen. but recently B has made a
MoU with teachers that no student are allow to use pencil in school.
Thus child A, will be unable to make notes in classroom.

2) Recently B's dad (Mr Dindows) has made some bribe to school
authority that they should include some Proprietary software from Mr
Dindows Research Lab into the school syllabus. Now child A will be
forced to use those crap and insecure software. child A will become a
"dependant labour" of tools from Dindows Research Lab. Moreover you
need to pay huge fees of school for maintaining such crap and high
price software. Child A will never feel the freedom of using Free and
Open Source Software.

3) Child B, has taken a new patents in drawing classes too. (it was a
20 page document, I too was unable to understand, but in short, It was
a drawing technique and most of the drawing fall into that category).
Child A will get zero number in drawing subjects.

4) Child B, has also made a new patent on asking problems after the
classroom lectures. asking problems was not a trend in this school but
genius grad B had invented this technique. because this patent
restriction, your child will not be able to ask problem after
classroom lectures.

5) Child B's dad (Mr Dindows) is also coming with new software and
online exams tools free of cost. school authority is a blind fellow
who do not care about close source insecure software. Because the
source code of these tools are closed, we cannot determine accuracy if
such exam tools. child B can cheat by this way. I have made a written
complain on this issue to school authority but they replied back me
that they trust B and his activity. I should think twice before
targeting such genius student.

To: iitdlug@googlegroups.com, kiitfossug@googlegroups.com, kiit_cse_it@googlegroups.com, topgang@googlegroups.com


Well I know its just around two weeks to the day when FOSS workshop was organised at KIIT and this post is basically to tell some +ve developments at my college which have taken place in this time..

Right from the start Our Director sir supported us but now he has more faith in this and we will soon be making a FOSS group at college level which will be looking after FOSS related things like substituting all the proprietary software with FOSS and even introducing an extra subject in the 1st year's syllabus so that the freshers can start with basic knowledge about FOSS from 1st year only + programs for 2nd and 3rd year too for this I am in regular touch with Narendra ji he even came to my college once and we discussed the Syllabus too........

I also distributed n pasted some http://windows7sins.org flyers in the campus + that 10T Crore benefit with FOSS IIM-B report ( http://bit.ly/OooR ) too and now some students as well as teachers have understood why am I doing it and what this FOSS is all about so they ask me for more info and have started taking interest in what developments are taking place in college regarding this.

A recent incident which gave me another boost was when the Library Incharge ( Deepak Sir) came to me when I was reading LFY and asked about what things are these, started talking about eGranthalay, told that it is much better than the current software installed in the library and after that I told him a bit about Linux , then he just asked me to install it soon so I said fine and finally today I installed Ubuntu in one of the System in the library and the Lib. staff was all happy to know that something new has been installed in the lib. and happy to know about the movement, they all praised me for what I did and then started using Ubuntu + they also helped in pasting some windows7sins flyers on the wall & that 10T crore report...........

So all in all after the workshop it is good to see people becoming aware of things asking for Ubuntu & Fedora Cd's how to installs and much more hope for more in the near future.

Well officially the making of FOSS group and other changes are right now postponed to next semester because of exams but for me it is ALWAYS ON and I am trying my level best to help people with things and will always do but still this something for mass so I need your support really and rest everything will be taken care of by God !!

With this I have understood one thing that still there are people who praise good things and want to see good happening to others.............

Hopefully will give you more updates soon well for now thanks for reading this...............

My reply : Re: Career opportunity with a US based MNC (package upto 10 lacs)

Thanks,
I have now removed my resume form naukri.com. I request you
not to send job offer for this position. It is my request because
Software patents are bad for whole world. Software patents produce
monopoly which is resist development of other small companies. I am a
strong anti-patent advocate. I am advocating free and Open source
since 2 year.
You can read more on this -- Ex
http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Linux-and-Open-Source/Software-Patents-Gone-Bad/
Supporting evil things in any form is also a evil work and may
be you are not aware of this.
You are not a developer and for you it does not matter.
But I am a geek/developer and for person like me, this is a resistance and a hurdle. This is against our freedom to develope code. May you can
understand with this example.

"one smart boy found a good way to hire persons using Internet job
board, because the job board was having some good feature, search or
suggest job to friend (ex.), he hired some technical writer who can
fill up patent application on his behalf. Because that smart boy was
having good money and friends in patent office, he was able to set
patent law and gets these patent. Now that smart boy has patent of
that job board. Now you as a career counsellor want to make a new job
board and you can make a similar GUI or may be new feature. But by
doing this, you will be infringing patent of that smart boy. How you
will feel when your will sued for common GUI behaviour like drag/down
, and page up page down for your website which a school boy can code.
I hope you can understand my request.

"Quick Start Chat" to Google Code Hosting for newbies {#qsc #google}

Hi, I normally avoid chatting on Linux topic. and I hate when someone ask his/her problem on chat. I hate because It is one to one communication. I redirect such newbies to mailing list so that other can participate into it. Google index mailing list thread so that other can read such thread after google search. But I found one useful thing in one to one chat system. one of one chat system can be useful for guiding the procedure to newbies.
Today when Abhishek Indoria (A 14 year old school boy, OLPC contributor) asked me how he can put his source code to some hosting site, I immediately got idea of "Quick Start Chat". In this system I have explained him each and every steps and he followed all steps. I always wanted to make a tutorial on how to get started with google code hosting but now I have spent 2-3 hour teaching on chat to produce "quick start chat". You can also blog such "quick start chat" as tutorial.


11:22 AM Abhishek: Dude, I know you may be busy...erm..do you know about GIT? or subversion?
11:23 AM me: I have used only svn
but git is something which is better to learn
Abhishek: erm...I need to set up my whole project source code online...
how do I do that?
11:24 AM me: you can do it using sourceforge or Google code hosting
google code hosting use SVG
you can use github too
github use GIT
11:25 AM Abhishek: Sourceforge.net seems good...But, I need to upload the Source in zip or rar or .tar format instead of erm...open editing version like GIT or SVN?
me: no no ,, do not upload tar or zip file
11:26 AM first create a project on these site
and then make a checkout
Abhishek: I have created the project...Checkout?
me: yes,,, checkout the empty project
Abhishek: You know, I feel like stupid as I am only 14 and have loads to learn;)
me: then put your files into it
11:27 AM seee, I learn these things at the age of 24,,,
after making a empty checkout ,, you need to paste files into it
then add files using
11:28 AM svn add filename.cpp
after that you need to comit the files
using "svn ci" command
Abhishek: Ohh..Okay, I am logging into sourceforge...I'll see what I can do, thanks;) Did you read The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown or Code to Zero by Ken Follet?
11:29 AM me: I suggest to use google code hosting,,
I have used it ,, and it has cool features
Abhishek: Erm.. The thing is...
whenever I try Google Code, I can't upload a damn single file.. Dunno why:(
11:30 AM me: Let me guide you,,
