Hello to all.

Here is the brief reports on Software Freedom activity at Kannur


(*) The Software Freedom day was celebrated on 29th August at Parishat Bhavan Kannur.
(*) It was attended by over 40 people.
(*) The function was inaugurated by Shri Gangadharan, KSSP ( Kerala Shastra Sahitya Parishath) member who spoke on the freedom matter elaborately.
(*) It was followed by 3 hours of technical session.
(*) live demo on free software OS & application packages were shown using OpenCd & Knoppix CD.
(*) Few CDs of Knoppix & OpenCD were also distributed.
(*) There was lively discussions on the subject.
(*) More activities are planned

Most of the audience were first timers, and not aware of the free software at all.
The meeting was very successful and follow up actions are planned which will be conducted soon. The members are much impressed by the concepts of the freedom in using the software without any limits. All of them could become aware of the numerous applications available to use freely.

Follow Up actions
-----------------

(*)It was decided to form a group and work towards spreading the messages to wider section of the people. As part of the follow up actions, free software awareness programs will be conducted in few schools.
(*) It was pointed out that teachers should be told and convinced about freedom of using the applications and distributing it. Though few schools wanted to try GNU/Linux in their schools ,they are reluctant to use it because, the softwares supplied by IT@SCHOOL project works only on windows platforms. One such package is the "softexam" software provided by the Govt. department. Softexam 1.0 prepared by the IT@School project works only on windows based platform.( see the link
http://www.teamebiz.com/case_studies_soft_exam.htm). A GNU/Linux version of the software is not yet available to schools. (http://www.keralaeducation.net/local/more05june04.htm). So A GNU/Linux port of the software is an immediate requirement.

(*) Next week, we plan to have Free Software seminar plus demo at one school near Kuthuparamba, Kannur.
(*) Four sections of Kannur collectrate already migrated to GNU/Linux. This is a major milestone as far as govt department is concerned.

Subject: [little_league] Maintainging and growing a LUG...
To: little_league@yahoogroups.com


       http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/User-Group-HOWTO-6.html#ss6.3

Maintaining and growing a LUG

* Make the barriers to LUG membership as low as possible.

* Make the LUG's Web site a priority: Keep all information current, make it
easy to find details about meetings (who, what, and where), and make contact
information and feedback mechanisms prominent.

* Install Linux for anyone who wants it.

* Post flyers, messages, or handbills wherever computer users are in your area.

* Secure dedicated leadership.

* Follow Linus Torvalds's benevolent dictator model of leadership.

* Take the big decisions to the members for a vote.

* Start a mailing list devoted to technical support and ask the "gurus" to
participate on it.

* Schedule a mixture of advanced and basic, formal and informal, presentations.

* Support the software development efforts of your members.

* Find way to raise money without dues: for instance, selling Linux merchandise
to your members and to others.

* Consider securing formal legal standing for the group, such as incorporation
or tax-exempt status.

* Find out if your meeting place is restricting growth of the LUG.

* Meet in conjunction with swap meets, computer shows, or other community
events where computer users -- i.e., potential Linux converts -- are likely to
gather.

* Elect formal leadership for the LUG as soon as is practical: Some helpful
officers might include President, Treasurer, Secretary, Meeting Host (general
announcements, speaker introductions, opening and closing remarks, etc.),
Publicity Coordinator (handles Usenet and e-mail postings, local publicity),
and Program Coordinator (organises and schedules speakers at LUG meetings).

* Provide ways for members and others to give feedback about the direction,
goals, and strategies of the LUG.

* Support Linux and free software / open source development efforts by donating
Web space, a mailing list, or ftp site.

* Establish an ftp/Web site for relevant software.

* Archive everything the LUG does for the Web site.

* Solicit "door prizes" from Linux vendors, VARs, etc. to give away at
meetings.

* Give credit where due.

* Join SSC's GLUE (Groups of Linux Users Everywhere).

* Submit your LUG's information to all the LUG lists.

* Publicise your meetings on appropriate Usenet groups and in local computer
publications and newspapers.

* Compose promotional materials, like Postscript files, for instance, members
can use to help publicise the LUG at workplaces, bookstores, computer stores,
etc.

* Make sure you know what LUG members want the LUG to do.

* Release press releases to local media outlets about any unusual LUG events
like an Installation Fest, Net Day, etc.

* Use LUG resources and members to help local non-profit organisations and
schools with their Information Technology needs.

* Advocate the use of Linux zealously but responsibly.

* Play to LUG members' strengths.

* Maintain good relations with Linux vendors, VARs, developers, etc.

* Identify and contact Linux consultants in your area.

* Network with the leaders of other LUGs in your area, state, region, or
country to share experiences, tricks, and resources.

* Keep LUG members advised on the state of Linux software -- new kernels, bugs,
fixes, patches, security advisories -- and the state of the Linux world at
large -- new ports, trademark and licensing issues, where Torvalds is living
and working, etc.

* Notify the Linux Documentation Project -- and other pertinent sources of
Linux information -- about the documentation the LUG produces: technical
presentations, tutorials, local HOWTOs, etc.

Dear Linux enthusiasts,

LINUX For You's August issue is now hitting newsstands all across
India. Be it career prospects in Linux/OSS arena or Miguel De Icaza's
interview--each feature carries an element of interest for the Linux
community. We share the main highlights of the August issues--see if
you can afford to miss this one.

*******Highlights*******

LFY CD#1
--------
SME Linux--a complete Linux server that can be installed from a
single CD

LFY CD #2
---------
* OpenMosix--Set up your own cluster
* Zope's latest version (an award winning content management system)
* Amigo Linux--Linux that runs on Windows

LINUX For You
-------------
* Career Prospects in the Linux/OSS arena
* Installing Winmodems
* Running Linux on a laptop
* Annual market survey of Linux in the Indian Industry
* Linux desktops--Branded yet a Bargain

LFY PRO
-------
* Miguel De Icaza's exclusive interview
* Make Your Monitor a Radio Station
* Java Programming on Linux
* Programming with PHP and MySQL
* ClusterKnoppix reviewed

*******Highlights*******

Why do we have two versions of Linux For You now?
-------------------------------------------------
Linux For You was conceived with the aim of pushing Linux from labs
to offices. To achieve this goal, we realised that we needed to
reduce the pricing of the main magazine so that those who were not
technical but curious about Linux/OSS could access the information.
Hence, LINUX For You's main magazine was created as a magazine for
everyone to read.

At the same time, the demand from the tech community was clear --
they needed technical content along with CDs that bundled the latest
software and distros. Hence, the combined pack of LINUX For You and
LFY PRO and the two CDs is now available at Rs 100!

For more details about LINUX For You magazine, log on to
www.linuxforu.com or email at niraj@....

This communication aims to inform the Linux community about the
information contained in Asia's only magazine on Linux and open
source, and we hope that it will be taken positively.

ALL-NEW Yahoo! Messenger - sooooo many all-new ways to express yourself

Dear Linux enthusiasts,

LINUX For You's latest issue is out, and it has a lot of content,
which the community would like to get their hands on. In addition, to
allow more people to access information about Linux/OSS, the main
section of the magazine has been separately launched at Rs. 25, while
the full pack (LFY Pack) remains at Rs 100--more details mentioned at
end.

Highlights of July 04 issue
===================
LFY CD #1
---------------
* Xandros distro on LFY CD #1

LFY CD #2
---------
* Mono Beta Release on LFY CD #2
* eMoviX on LFY CD #2
* IBM's Eclipse on LFY CD #2

LINUX For You PRO
-----------------
* Mono Unleashed
* How to set up a mini ISP with Linux
* Eclipse Unveiled
* PHP vs ASP--A debate
* Learn to update the Linux Kernel
* Ntop: An excellent network traffic monitor

LINUX For You
-------------
* How OM Logistics saved Rs 1 crore by deploying Linux
* Wipro's Linux Strategy
* Xandros Unveiled
* Review: Mandrake 10
* Tips on Avoiding Spam

Free Form
---------
India's First Linux/OSS directory is being created. All Linux
firms/consultants can use form in LINUX For You magazine (2 pages)
and submit their entries (for FREE) for this directory. Rush! Last
date for entries--31st July, 2004.

Highlights in Detail
==============

Xandros Linux
-------------------
Xandros Linux has been known for its excellent GUI and easy
installation alongside Windows, but was always available at a price.
However, recently it had its 'Open Circulation' edition released. The
same has been bundled on LFY CD #1. This distro installs smoothly
alongside Windows, manages the partitioning automatically, and is
capable (as per Xandros release) of installing itself even along side
NTFS operating systems!

Mono
--------
Mono's Beta 3 installable (for Red Hat, Suse, Fedora, Windows) and
source code are available on LFY CD #2. Mono, a project started by
the Ximian group, is being touted as one of the best software
development environments. Its SDK allows .NET developers to develop
their applications on the Linux platform! Thus, the cost of software
development for .NET framework applications can be reduced
drastically.

OM Logistics saves Rs 1 crore
-------------------------------------
In this lead feature, we share with the decision makers as to how a
logistics company, based in New Delhi went about deploying Linux for
their servers and desktops! In fact, the number of desktops they have
now (running Linux) is 540! And in this process, they have managed to
save a cool Rs 1 crore! Guess, this story can inspire many of you to
initiate the migration to Linux/OSS in your respective firms.

Why do we have two versions of Linux For You now?
=================================================
Linux For You was conceived with the aim of pushing Linux from labs
to offices. To achieve this goal, we realised that we needed to
reduce the pricing of the main magazine so that those who were not
technical but curious about Linux/OSS could access the info. Hence,
LINUX For You's main magazine was created as a magazine for everyone

needed technical content along with CDs that bundled the latest
software and distros. Hence, the combined pack of LINUX For You and
LFY PRO and the two CDs is now available at Rs 100!

More details
============
You can get more details about LINUX For You magazine from
www.linuxforu.com or email to me at: niraj@....

This communication aims to inform the Linux community about the
information contained in Asia's only Linux and Open Source magazine,
and we hope that it will be taken positively.

My name is Pradeep Jindal and I have done a diploma in E.C.E
(Electronics and Communications Engg.).

I started using Linux's RedHat Distribution 2 months ago and found
that it is undoubtedly the best operating system at no cost. Frankly
said "I am a reverse engineer" and used to reverse windows and it's
applications. So, I can't provide you with my full introduction. This
is me for everybody on this group.

If anybody needs my help, do the thing called mail. Because i gonna
help all of you and would like to get help from all of you.

And now atlast ThankYou for attaching me to your group.

Thank you for including me to the group.
