Jagriti - In my college
by anirudh singh shekhawat 12 Sep '09

12 Sep '09

# JAGRITI well all this started a few months ago when i saw fedora 9 in many computer labs in my college and i was pretty astonished and awed at the very sight of it, there was this feeling that i have an another option to work at other than windows(which is non existent anyways) which is very difficult to putout in words and i could see a new beginning and a fresh air was all around which only spoke of freedom..well many days passed and i was waiting for some news to come on its own from the college front about the new gained freedom in its machines but nothing happened a few more months passed. This campaign was called Jagriti, as it looked as an apt name for it since, its an awakening from the darkness which has for so long prevailed that, is not confused by light by all the mortals who don’t have a mind of their own :D And at last i thought it was time to take an initiative to start the freedom movement afresh where it had lots its steam. So now it was the time. This [1] is exactly what i have started along with another lug-jaipur (linux users group jaipur) member mukul gupta, also skit-osum [3] leader of my college, which also is an enthralling community of over 500 members which also makes it one of the seven such communities the world over. The project is well supported by our IT-Head of the department who is willing to do anything for it, he is even willing to change the whole infrastructure of few labs who have computers from the times of Adam, and would get some new sleek machines and you can imagine the joy of installing fedora 11 on them. That is just a notice which had to be circulated around the college to inform all the teachers and students what is going around. According to it, all the programming work will be done on linux and we are to assist the concerned teachers to implement it in their respective labs. This becomes so necessary pertaining to the wide spread use of turbo C which sensible people all around the world have even forgotten about but for some god knows what reason it happens to be the most popular IDE in india for c/c++. Though when we were planning our shift to fedora a guy also suggested to use another IDE for windows instead and i remember giving him some strange sort of looks and he knew what was coming and he shut up, but later i also explained him a few things and made that strange thought to go away. Everything seems to have been falling into place and we are about to start with our labs from monday, assisting teachers to write their c/c++ code on fedora. The project is witnessing a mild start but the whole picture will get clear by end of the next week and how have we performed in the coming week, and there-after we would be too glad to involve lugj and the indian foss community and take the initiative to a whole new level. keeping fingers crossed :D [1] http://bit.ly/eHM2L [2] http://lugj.in [3] http://studentdevelopers.ning.com/group/skitosum regards Adip -- My web home http://acedip.in Linux Users Group Jaipur http://lugj.in -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/FA/L/MU/P/S !d s:- a-- C UL P++ L+++ E- W++ N++ o K-- w--- O- M- V PS PE Y PGP t 5 X R tv b DI D G e h+ r- y++ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------

Re: Can you take even one freemedia request?

Hi susmit For India, we have only 28 pending requests. > https://fedorahosted.org/freemedia/report/9 > > If you take even one request, we can easily fulfil all. > Will you please take it up? > well there were 5 requests from jaipur and i've accepted all of them and sent a mail to the requesters asking them to maybe meet me personally to get the media or maybe suggest something. I thought this to be better than simply sending it over to their respective address as this would give a chance to meet them and also because i've seen that some times they are new to linux/fedora and needs some help regarding the same. But i havent got any reply from anyone accept one, who has just replied stating that he is busy right now and will be for quite some time now, so i told him to get media from me whenever he can. Also since jaipur is a small city i think giving the media in person is better than simply posting it, until some one asks me to post it otherwise. So i guess i'm closing one ticket, who has mailed me for the moment.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mel Chua <mel(a)redhat.com> Date: Fri, Sep 11, 2009 at 10:36 AM Subject: Call for release slogan suggestions To: Fedora Marketing <fedora-marketing-list(a)redhat.com> (Marketing folks - please take this out to other lists and teams you think would be interested! I'd like to have a Marketing liason driving this discussion in every other list.) We need a slogan for the F12 release. It will be chosen one week from now on 9/17. A release slogan is a short call-to-action that fits the artwork theme from Design, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F12_release_slogan#Themes. (F11's slogan was "Reign," F10's was "Fire it up!") Please put your slogan ideas here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F12_release_slogan#New_slogan_ideas. Feel free to discuss slogan ideas on this and other mailing lists - but also make sure to put your ideas in that table on that wiki page so they'll be counted. The deadline for submissions is Tuesday 9/15 at 20:00 UTC, which is our next Marketing meeting (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_meetings) We'll be discussing submissions there, and then Mo Duffy will take that input and select the final slogan on behalf of the Design team on Thursday 9/17. Let me know if you have any questions/comments/concerns - and let the wiki table know if you have any ideas!

Fedora event @ SRM tech fest
by Salvadesswaran P.S. 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

Fedora GNU/Linux Event @ SRM: An event named Linux Lingo was organised today as a part of SRM University’s tech fest, Aarush 2009. Myself and Mr. Ramadoss from NRCFOSS, Fedora Ambassasador conducted the event. Ramadoss introduced the students to the philosophy of free software and Stallman’s crusade against the imposition of proprietary software. He delved into the GNU philosophy and gave several examples to emphasise the concept. He then talked about the open source community following which we demonstrated a Fedora 11 installation. We got a volunteer to install the operating system. The audience had several doubts about the install process, and we resolved them. For the fun of it we tried to install in Hindi once, but reverted to English finally. After the demonstration, I spoke about the software available in Fedora, and then about a few basic command line utilities. It was followed by a talk on bash scripting. The day ended with our answering a few questions from the students about open source, real IT revolution and choice of software. Over a hundred students participated in the event and were introduced to the free software movement. We thank the coordinators of the event, Shiv Deepak, Vipul Jain, Anisha Kaul and Prakhar Agarwal for the enthusiasm they showed in organising this event. -- Salvadesswaran Srinivasan, SSN College of Engineering
