[Event report] Introduction to Python: Maharashtra Institute of Technology, Pune
by Shakthi Kannan
Greetings!
I had conducted a one-day hands-on "Introduction to Python"
programming workshop at Maharashtra Institute of Technology, College
of Engineering [1], Kothrud, Pune, India on Saturday, August 6, 2011.
The participants were engineering students who had some programming
experience but were new to Python. I wanted to do a hands-on session
so I could help them along the way. I decided to use the presentation
"Python: Introduction for Programmers" by Bruce Beckles and Bob
Dowling from the University Computing Service, University of Cambridge
[2]. I had requested permission to re-use the slides giving credit to
the authors, for which they agreed.
Two software labs (I and II) were made available at the venue. Remote
desktop was setup so the slides were visible on both the lab
projectors. A speaker system was arranged so people could hear me from
either lab. Gedit was used to write simple programs.
Thanks to Prof. Reena D. Pagare (MIT, College of Engineering) for
working with me during the last few weeks in organizing this workshop.
Photos taken at the venue and during the workshop are available at my
/gallery [3].

You can forward incoming emails using .forward files and for reporting
use any of the sendmail log analyzers:
http://sareport.darold.net/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sa-report/
http://www.klake.org/sma/
http://www.enderunix.org/isoqlog/
Can also use this milter for BCC:

Re: [fedora-india] Task up for grabs: need a volunteer to handle minor revisions to FUDcon Pune design
by Suchakra
Rahul gave some feedback on my suggestions too [1]. I'll continue to
do #3, #4 and #5 below on Mo's list if everyone is ok with [2].
Also, does a FUDCon needs to have only one 'official' poster design or
we can release more than one? I'd like one more to catch the local eye
here with more popular architectures here such as this one [3]

Hi, I am up for this task as I'm back again from a bout of illness.
Also here is my feedback for the discussion that has being going on
for designs related to FUDCon Pune.
* Henna design seems good on corners on poster (I'd remove it
nevertheless if everyone dislikes) but is not advisable on T-shirts.
Neither will a building look good on it.
* The T-shirt ideas need some more love. I'd like to have a slogan at
back with some simple design on front. I can create some mockups if
required.
* Mizmo's poster's seems perfect to me with most of the info present.
I'll make some changes to it, share and if OKed by all, run some test
prints here with a printer. I'd have loved the '0' in 2011 I did in
the past versions to be present somewhere. It's mean a lot to us as
its the 'spoked wheel' we have in our flag :)
I'm happy that the logo with henna crown is accepted :) and will
continue with banner designs from now on.
