getting college involved with fedora
by anirudh singh shekhawat 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

Hi I'm a fedora ambassador in jaipur rajasthan, and a member of lug-jaipur which is rather quite inclined towards fedora too. I'm also enrolled in a local college and doing computer science engineering in 7th sem. Well my college has been an avid user of open source technologies. # fedora 10 was recently installed in all college computers i.e. over 300 computers, f10 might have been the choice because of the delay in the availability and more over, college lacks the technical support, there are lab assistants and teachers who know very little about foss and stuff, but anyways the management makes it a point to do so. # college is also registered in the sun-osum initiative, with members more than 700, its among the worlds top for the maximum number of members, but the silver lining here is that, those are just figures and no one really know anything about foss, even the osum core committee members know nothing. But again that is so because there are no serious guys who want to do *real* work. Well the whole point of this is, that i want to do some *real* foss work in college and get it involved with the mainstream fedora contributing/developer community. I want to make a list of things which can be done, so then I can talk to my HOD and start things over. So suggest me with things which we can do here. I've some ideas on the lines of:- # make students use fedora in programming and other tasks in college. # getting them involved with different mainstream projects under fedoraproject. # contribution on the basis of quality rather than quantity. # make college or rather jaipur a hub of foss community work. This will also involve lug and the same things could also be implemented in other colleges, since there are a few others, where we've conducted workshops as part of lug and have been using fedora all the way.

Hi, I was taken by surprise to know that IIT Kanpur, is hosting an official Fedora mirror. That is very nice of them and will help the user community to a great extend. So, right now, we have 3 official mirrors in India and probably in a day or two another will be added. Thanks. -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= ssh 0x86DD170A http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit ============================================= Sent from Calcutta, WB, India

by sankarshan 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

Hi, If you have been recently sponsored into the Fedora Ambassador group, it would be good to know what you have been doing to get to speed with the Ambassador role, whether you have had the chance to install and check out Fedora 11, have been visible in the nearest UserGroups and so on. ~sankarshan -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work

by Hirak Sarkar 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

I want to get the out put of an .asm file which I assemble with nasm assembler but after making the object file when I give the command to link the *object* file then it gives an error in terminal my command was * ld -s -o hello hello.o* it should give the output file but show me the error message *ld: i386 architecture of input file `hello.o' is incompatible with i386:x86-64 output* I think it is because of my 64 bit archi , but what will be the solution of the problem. -- Hirak Sarkar
