spot: in this post, i rant about licensing

http://spot.livejournal.com/303000.html [quote] This is why for Fedora, the goal of being 100% Free isn't something that we're losing sleep over. Sure, we'd like to be 100% Free, and we're working towards that every day, but actually being 100% Free is HARD, especially if you want more than 700 MB of packages.

Fedora 10 Indic locales remix - kickstart file
by Rahul Sundaram 24 Dec '08

24 Dec '08

Hi, http://sundaram.fedorapeople.org/spins/fedora-10-india.ks This produces a image around 725 MB. You can pick and choose what locales you want to include to reduce the size. If you want to make say Tamil the default, there is a couple of simple directives to add, # change default locale lang ta_IN.UTF-8 # change default timezone timezone Asia/Calcutta --- For other locales, refer http://sundaram.fedorapeople.org/spins/ # yum install spin-kickstarts livecd-tools # setenforce 0 # livecd-creator --config=fedora-10-india.ks --fslabel=fedora-india-10-remix --cache=/var/tmp/livecd-cache Having a local mirror is very useful, otherwise you have to wait for the downloads for a long time depending on your bandwidth, atleast for the first run. Let me know if you got more questions. Please keep questions on the list. Rahul

[Fwd: Re: Automatic BuildRequires]
by Rahul Sundaram 23 Dec '08

Hi, Don't know if you folks have considered this, but it should be possible to parse the spec, compare the manual build requires specified with the one auto generated by this tool and post the diff as a suggestion to the packager as part of review-o-matic. Does that make sense? Rahul

hi, We've finally got things in motion for the OpenWeek.. Discussions is on at the forums (http://forums.lugmanipal.org) as well as the mailing list.. (http://srv12.rackedhosting.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion_lists.lugmanipal…) We have planned a "Hackathon" on the last day.. It is meant to introduce people to the idea of Application Development.. Since it is the first time, it will probably just be us changing a few things in some app to show people how and what can be done.. We are holding a workshop on Python before the open week.. so, Can someone please suggest a simple application written in Python that we could use in the hackathon.. We need the simplest possible so its easy for people to understand what is going on.. regards, Ankur
