Guys, I'm taking the initiative to start a Linux group members meet. Tomorrow,
Sunday 21st March at 6 pm lets meet at a coffee shop: Java Dave's in Sector 10
market.

We can talk about our Linux work, our projects, test new ideas, find out about
new and improved software and inspire new members.

Hope to see a lot of faces there.

Before you start another thread with the subject "Does the group ever
reply", yeah its been a long time since this group met. Anyways you
can ask your questions on the list and 'we` the members will try our
best to answer them. Since not all  of the members are presently in
Chandigarh , you might get a much better audience on the list than in
a meet.

I'd like to meet some members to get my questions answered

Hi everyone. I just joined as a new participant. I've been interested in Linux
for a long time and have played around with it but never immersed myself in it.
I would like to now.

Do the group members get together and meet face to face. Chandigarh being a
compact and small place, I'm sure at least some would like to do that. Such a
meeting would provide newbies like me greater incentive and enthusiasm.

Thanks,  Uday

what does your redhat support contract say about this ? Also, since you
have rhel - and have paid for it, you should be using their free
customer support.

management, expert systems, machine learning, etc. A number of high
quality software solutions are available in many of these areas, for
example, SugarCRM, Koha, Drupal, Moodle, Sahana, CollabCAD, etc.
Work on these systems require a combination of domain knowledge and
development expertise. Much of the public awareness in open source
is focussed on desktop, operating system and general productivity
tools. With this background, NCOSS-09 has chosen to focus on the
layer above this, bringing together groups working on various
application domains.

The conference will present experiences in deploying FOSS
applications, comparative studies among competing software
solutions, efforts in adapting and localising FOSS applications,
development of new applications, etc. The conference will consist of
the following:
Invited talks by experts from India and abroad
Presentation of contributed papers selected based on refereeing by a
panel of referees
Exhibition by industry and academia
Pre conference Tutorials (on May 24th )

The movement of Software Freedom started with the establishment of 'The Free Software Foundation (FSF)' in 1984 by MIT hacker Richard M. Stallman. The FSF advocates the software user's freedom to study and modify any program as well as redistribute its original or modified copies. FSF focuses on a completely free software system from kernel to applications and it rejects any component of the system which is non-free.  FSF released the 'GNU General Public License (GPL)' for the users of 'free software'. As a UNIX like OS, GNU/Linux distributions and the freedom of open source provide an excellent academic and research opportunity. Each application is available in source form and the author as well as the user community can be contacted online.  

'GNU/Linux User Group(GLUG) - Meerut' is a GNU/Linux software user's platform to meet, discuss and innovate with other users and developers. GLUG-Meerut is the first gnu.org registered GLUG of entire UP and only the nineteenth one in India. We have helped establish the standard GNU/Linux software as part of engineering curricula in CS & IT. We also help FM Radio station at IIMT Meerut to migrate from properietary software to public domain software 'AUDACITY' released under the 'GNU General Public License (GPL)'.   
  
Now, the efforts of GLUG-Meerut have been appreciated by Dr. Richard Stallman (the founder of 'Software Freedom Movement' from MIT, USA) as "Happy Hacking and thanks for defending the freedom in Meerut" at JNU, New Delhi on 21-12-2008. GLUG-Meerut has invited Dr. Stallman for a visit to Meerut - "The City of Freedom" - the city of 1857 war of Indian Independence which laid the seeds of the rising Indian self reliance culminating into modern Indian nation.

GLUG-Meerut community welcomes all GNU/Linux enthusiasts of Meerut and beyond. We intend to organize various workshops, seminars and conferences for proliferation of GNU/Linux philosophy of software freedom all over the western UP region and beyond. Anyone can freely join GLUG-Meerut on 'groups.google.com/group/glug-meerut'.

Forwarding this interesting development.

From: vinay@...
To: ilugd@...
Subject: [ilugd] Draft policy on Open standards for e-Gov in India
-Open for Public review

Hi All,

The government has released a draft version of a Policy on Open
standards for e-Governance. It is presently open for Public review.

Please find the policy at the link below-
http://egovstandards.gov.in/Policy_Open_Std_review

The policy seems to have some really good points like-
5.1) Mandatory Characteristics:
5.1.1)Selected Standard should be Royalty Free for life time of the
standard. 5.1.2)Selected Standard should be developed in a
collaborative and consensus manner and not led by a single agency or a
small closed group of interested parties
5.1.3)Selected Standard should be recursively open; They shall not use
unpublished extensions

However we really do need to look at it with greater detail and discuss
the same.


Thanks,
Vinay Sreenivasa

Hi friends,

We are considering organizing a free Linux installation and, or setup
roadshow, first in the city beautiful Chandigarh itself and then various
other industrial cities near and, or around.

We think, that a single click installation with help the MintLinux 5.0
Elyssa (based on Debian/Ubuntu) can be a good start along with a remote
booting and single click installation of Linux with help of an updated
Knoppix Terminal Server running from an installed machine. We regard,
acknowledge and appreciate efforts of all other distributions, but we
want to showcase only the easier and most up-to-date ones in our
presentation and show.

Hence, your valuable ideas and, or considerable points are welcome in
the following categories.

1) Common for all, general end-users, assemblers, integrators and, or
private support people:

   i) Time taken in installing, booting, updating and, or dist-upgrading
and machine.

  ii) Built-in hardware detection, inclusion of popular and third party
drivers i.e. mostly everything works out-of-the-box.

 iii) Most needful packages like versatile OpenOffice.org, secure
browser Firefox, mail, news and feed reader Thunderbird, GIMP for image
and, or photo editing, best multimedia player MPlayer and, or versatile
instant messengers Pidgin and, or Kopete are already included and
installed in one go; no time consuming multiple restarts;)

  iv) No data loss, wonderful partition manager and, or editor takes
care of moving, shrinking, expanding and, or formatting of disk drives.

  v) Accessibility of any machine from any machine with the help of
secure shell and, or vanilla X-Window desktops or via SSL.

2) Specific for IT students, educators and, or developers:

   i) The Free/Libre and Open Source movement and its benefits.

  ii) Almost everything a developer needs is available and, or included.

 iii) Freely available Course Management System (CMS) packages.


3) Specific for common office and, or business users:

   i) The security and, or firewall.

  ii) The built-in mail, ftp, web and, or windows sharing services.

 iii) Freely available Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer
Relationship Management (CRM), Content Management (CMS) and, or other
such packages.

4) Specific for photographers, video makers and, or audio editors:

   i) Freely available photo, video and, or audio editing tools.


5) Specific for music composers, trainers and, or directors:

   i) Freely available composition, publishing and, or other tools.

6) Specific of schools, colleges, institutions and, or the management
thereof:

   i) Freely available Course Management Systems, School Management
Systems and, or other such tools.


This can be long list, but we want to discus only mature and, or most
complete packages or projects; no doubt, your valuable ideas shall
definitely be appreciated.

Please let us know, what we are missing and, or what is we must add in
our said Linux installation and, or setup roadshow.

Thanks,
Regards,

ABOUT THE VIDEO: On the fourth Saturday of each month, a group of

has been effective over the last eight years in building skills,
sharing talent, and keeping it going. More details at
