Hi, I am thinking about conducting a IRC classroom session for India ambassadors. This is to ensure help if you needed some and also with a view to extend your involvement with other sub-projects within Fedora. Let me know what will be the most suitable date/timing for most of you. Thanks. -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= ssh 0x86DD170A http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit =============================================

BIT Linux User Group's Fedora Workshop and Install Fest
by Aditya Patawari 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

The series of Linux workshops highlighting Fedora11 ended on 16 evening. These workshops were organized by *BIT Linux User Group* with the help of the two Fedora Ambassadors (Me and Debjit Saha). *Workshop 1* : Date 10 Aug 2009. This workshop was organized for newbies and especially for the fresher batch of our college. We started off by showing some cool compiz effects on fedora11 gnome. Even after attending the classes from 8:00 to 5:00, more than 60 people turned up, some out of enthusiasm others out of curiosity. We had some slides prepared by our volunteers. We showed them the alternatives of windows applications available for linux, like for media player we have rhythmbox. We also had some "Tux v/s Windows" fight videos. We told them about benefits of installing fedora (A distro which comprises every latest stuff and yet it is highly stable). All this made up an environment for the install fest which was scheduled the next day. We also invited feedbacks in the nd. Most of them were positive though some were a bit disappointed that we didn't bashed windows to a greater extent. Photographs : http://picasaweb.google.com/lug.bitmesra/10August2009 *Workshop 2 : *Date 11 August 2009 It was a holiday and yet one of the busiest day for us. We had permission to use the college lab. As we reached there, we found a couple of enthusiast already waiting for installation eagerly. We had a total of 7 volunteers and slightly above 80 installations. Fedora11 DVDs were also distributed for free. Since we have a local repository in our campus we thought it to be wise if we write a script for the installation of some common softwares and to add the local repositories. For desktops Debjit had arranged for network boot. The fest was a huge success as till date we have people who are approaching us after seeing the laptops on which we installed fedora on install fest. Photographs : http://picasaweb.google.com/lug.bitmesra/11August2009 *Workshop 3* : Date 16 August 2009 This workshop was organized for more advanced users. We expected about 80-100 participants but we were astonished to see the rush. We had about 200 participants! So we decided to take the same workshop twice. We started off by telling basics of shell scripting and then made our way towards "Virtualization on Fedora". We had a little Question-Answer session after that. We also invited users to share their experiences with fedora. At the end we had a small slide show about "How to Contribute to Fedora Project". We had the sides made with the help of "join Fedora" page on wiki.

Actually I am unable to configure it as per the instructions on the Durgapur LUG's offline repository project to work on the project; as I am unable to get my BSNL EVDO working on F10. Also, electricity connection is very bad throughout India now due to problems with the power grid, but it is much worse in the college area. In main Agartala electricity connection is still better. > Well, I never gave you any deadlines, so you were free to work > whenever you had the time. > I feel only if I start work I should have my name on the project list.

RE: Unable to actively work online with the Fedora project
by Aveek Sen 16 Aug '09

16 Aug '09

Hi, I want your advice & suggestions on a problem. I am having a low bandwidth(230 kbps) BSNL EVDO connection at NIT Agartala. On top of that the BSNL service here is not satisfactory; I have to be off the hook for a week at times due to their technical snags. We are also facing severe power cuts here. We had power cuts of more than 16 hours per day last weekend & 3-4 hours every day. I am unable to get the proper means to stay connected & when I do I am so exhausted I can hardly do any productive work. I am unable to be active to the project online but am handling the part in college; interacting & solving problems there. I have still not uploaded the details of the fest at NIT Agartala a month back. I have also called Shakthi Kannan(mbuf) & asked him to remove me from the Fedora offline repo project; as I have still not contributed to it & don't think will be able to(even my EVDO is not getting configured on F10 as per instructions on a few blogs). -- Aveek Sen, Fedora Ambassador, NIT Agartala

Fedora 10, 11 repositories @ IIIT, Hyderabad
by Shakthi Kannan 15 Aug '09

15 Aug '09

Hi, Today, I visited IIIT, Hyderabad (Gachibowli) [1] and copied 50 GB of Fedora Core (10, 11) repositories to their server for their use. I have also given them Fedora 10, 11 DVDs. IIIT, Hyderabad has totally 20 Mbps bandwidth from different ISPs. Most of them use the Internet connection to install software. They are planning to setup a public Fedora mirror. Thanks to Gaganpreet Singh and Jinesh K J. SK [1] http://www.iiit.net/ -- Shakthi Kannan http://www.shakthimaan.com
