[Event Report] GNUnify 2013, SICSR, Pune, India, February 15-17, 2013
by Shakthi Kannan 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

Hi, GNUnify 2013 [1] was held at Symbiosis Institute of Computer Studies and Research (SICSR) [2], Pune, Maharashtra, India between February 15 to 17, 2013. I attended day one of the unconference. The first talk that I listened to was by Oyunbileg Baatar on "Screencasting Demos and HowTos". He mentioned the various free/open source, desktop recording software available. He also gave a demo of recordMyDesktop [3], and video editing using PiTiVi [4]. After a short break, and a formal introduction, I began my session for the day - "Introduction to GCC" [5]. Fedora 17 was installed in the labs for the participants to use. I started with a simple hello world example and the use of header files. I also explained the concepts of compilation and linking, and briefed them on the syntax of Makefiles. Examples on creating and using static and shared libraries were illustrated. We also discussed the different warning and error messages emitted by GCC. The platform-specific and optimization options were shown with examples. Students were not familiar with touch typing, and I had to demonstrate the use of Klavaro [6] typing tutor. The preliminary round for the programming contest was held in the afternoon. Thirty questions on C and systems programming were given to the participants to be answered in thirty minutes. I helped evaluate the answers. The practical test was to be conducted the following day. Thanks to Neependra Khare [7] and Kiran Divarkar for organizing the programming contest. I also attended the OpenStack mini-conf session in the evening where a demo of OpenStack was given by Kiran Murari. This was followed by a session on "OpenStack High Availability" by Syed Armani. Aditya Godbole's closing session for the day on an "Introduction to Ruby" was informative. Few photos that were taken are available in my /gallery [8].

SCALE 11x is next weekend - are we ready?
by Robyn Bergeron 15 Feb '13

15 Feb '13

Hi folks, We were discussing SCALE planning in the FAmNA meeting on Tuesday night - it's not entirely clear what things are in progress and what is not at this point. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SCALE_11X_Event * We have a bunch of people signed up to volunteer for a FAD, but I'm not seeing anything planned for a FAD, or any record of us having a FAD on the scale site where they list other co-located special events. * The budget appears to have been approved - https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/51 - do we know who is rooming with who, etc. so we can figure out payment while there? * Booth stuff. We recalled that Dan408 has the event box and banners (and I recall that one of them is bent/broken, unless that's been rectified) currently, but nobody knows if / how / when it's being shipped to LA; Markdude isn't coming to scale after all (as he told us during the meeting), I'm not sure if any of the other Bay Area folks signed up are driving down and have planned to bring the event box. Also: If swag needs to be brought along because the event box is empty, that would be good to know. Dan: Do you know anything, or have plans with someone? * NB: Do you know anything about the media situation, ie: if there's any way we can get a portion of it to SCALE? Or is it still mostly in production? See you guys soon, -Robyn
