I always fins it difficulty to purchase Linux friendly PC/Laptop (or any other hardware). Many vendor refuses to listen me. Those who are nice and known to me, are favouring me by just letting me to try before purchase, but no support. Our IT Industry is handicapped. [...] Dear Hardeep-ji, Your points are well taken, and I indeed sympathise with your frustration. It can often seem that all various parties in India presenting a facade of support for FOSS are really interested in is promoting their own narrow agenda. Genuine supporters of FOSS seem to get marginalised in this process. Nevertheless, unless we have good reasons to believe otherwise, we should at least try to take on each potential new project at its face value. Given that we have the at least some volunteers, we should extend what support we can to Sanjay-ji. Balwinder, it would be good if you formally assumed lead of this project, and drive it from here on out.

We had discussions on this in the past, and I remember now why we had decided not to do this. While it would defray expenses, bring money into the ILUG-Delhi kitty, and maybe allow us to pay trainers, the main objection to this was that the LUG should not be setting itself up in commercial competition to local startups providing Linux support. Besides, there are significant managerial headaches for such a setup. One possible model might be to have a broad training session that is free of cost, with incidental expenses covered by a local association. Local associations, and attendees, can then discuss with the trainers on an individual basis regarding more intensive, focused sessions. This is one model which has not worked in the past as we know there is no follow up with any of the colleges and institutions , may be as an active society these kinds of items can be take up proactively , something like a quarterly news letter to all the colleges and associations in and around NCR. Yeah, in the case of no follow up, the free of cost session, where expenses are covered but time is volunteered, will be the only one.

[ilugd] Need advice on setup of computers for a rural school
Hi, I have been out of this area for a while, and would like to hear from people about who work with computer infrastructure for rural schools, including educational content. Here is some background: 1. A rural school in Orissa wants to provide 1-2 computers for the children there, ranging from primary to class X. They have spoken to Hole-in-the-wall (HIWEL), but the quoted costs seem high to me. Would love to hear from people who have worked with HIWEL. (a) The school is sort of remote, but not very much so. A major highway is some 15km away, and a largish town is some 5km away, with reasonable road connectivity. They have wireless Internet access, and I am checking up on the electricity situation. (b) The costs are quoted as at least 2.03 lakhs for a two- window HIWEL setup. They claim that the content is free, but where is the 2-lakh cost going into, then? (c) Maintenance costs also seem high: 25K/computer annually. I would have been sort of OK with a 25K annual cost for the entire facility, regardless of the number of computers. If anyone has figures on what such support costs, that would be great. 2. I really dislike the idea of proprietary content. Would like to hear from people who have actually set up similar content for schools, ideally in more detail than a basic games, multimedia, plus WIkipedia setup.

[ilugd] [Commercial] Fwd: Email and discount code for ILUG Delhi
Hi, Forwarded from HasGeek. Details below include a discount code that can be used in registering for the event. Regards, Gora -- Forwarded message -- From: Zainab Bawa zai...@hasgeek.com Date: 14 June 2012 00:14 Subject: Email and discount code for ILUG Delhi To: Gora Mohanty g...@mimirtech.com Dear Gora, Can you circulate this email to the Delhi ILUG group, also asking for a meetup on the days when I am in Delhi (20-23 June)? Thanks, Zainab HasGeek presents The Fifth Elephant Why The Fifth Elephant? Modern technology with ubiquitous connectivity and cloud-hosted computing power is increasingly becoming important for making sense of data. The infrastructure, tools, processes and algorithms for storage, analytics and visualization shape the meanings and value that can be derived from the data. At the same time, these technologies are strongly intertwined i.e., the database infrastructure shapes how data is accessed for processing, as well as the tools you can (or cannot) use to represent the data in certain ways on the frontend. Similarly, the paradigms used for simplifying and storing data - MapReduce, NoSQL, RDBMS - variously enable the morphing of complex data into meaningful formats. Working with each one of them involves limitations and possibilities. The Fifth Elephant is the first of its kind of events where you will meet different people working with different kinds of data. It is an opportunity for learning about new tools, technologies, platforms, processes and best practices, and engaging with business leaders, IT decision-makers, journalists, analysts and developers. It is also an opportunity to showcase data products, APIs, services and platforms. A Conference? An Event? The Fifth Elephant is not simply a series of lectures. It is a space for interactions with a diverse audience to serendipitously explore insights and solutions for your data problems, to understand how hidden meanings in data can be made manifest, and to learn how others are working with data. The event is open to data analysts and scientists, statisticians, geeks, enthusiasts, data-driven product managers and designers, enterprise architects, journalists, researchers, developers and database professionals. The Agenda: The Fifth Elephant will be held on 27 and 28 July at the NIMHANS Convention Centre, Bangalore. The first day covers the technology track - big data infrastructure, analytics and visualization. Day 2 invites talks from business and industry - finance, retail, health, media, telecom - to showcase the nature of data in each of these sectors and how they are working (and not working) with the data. Apart from demos, lectures and tutorials, there will be opportunities for open house discussions and presentations on Hadoop, NoSQL versus RDBMS paradigms, and legal and licensing frameworks for data sharing, among others. Hacker corners, a dedicated participant lounge and interactive sponsor booths will further the learning, showcasing and engagement at the event. Tickets: Regular tickets are priced at Rs. 2,500 until 18th July. Tickets are priced at the Early Geek rate of Rs. 1,800 for members of ILUG Delhi until June 24th. Use the discount code ILUG DELHI on fifthelephant.doattend.com when booking your tickets.

You can also set OLogLevel=127 in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf, restart sendmail and then try sending a mail for more logging. Pfft! The way most people code, 6-8 seconds is nothing for a web front-end. Gaurang, what are page-load times, and response times to the presumable POST from the front-end? You can measure with a Firefox plugin, YSlow, if you are not already aware of this. Worst case scenario, make your application send mail asynchronously. Depending on language and package, you could use a new thread, a new process or perhaps just a flag to the mail library. Should normally not be needed, as all the webapp has to do is to hand off to sendmail/postfix. However, this might be a problem if the webapp is sending shudderHTML mail/shudder, and is taking time to render this abomination.

[ilugd] [OT] Recommendations for Indian SMS gateways
Hi, Another request for recommendations. This time, it is for Indian SMS gateway providers. Below are my requirements. I have personally used mysmsmantra.com , and Unicel. The former has been fine so far, but we now have more needs. 1. Two-way SMS: Send, and receive. I am aware of various receiving options such as short code vs. long code, dedicated vs. non-dedicated, etc. We are probably looking at a non-dedicated number with a 5-6 digit short code. 2. Immediate notification of delivery status on sending, even if it is to say that delivery was delayed. The practice of returning a code that one needs to look up later is fine in principle, but the delivery status reports have proved flaky. 3. Received SMSes should be delivered to a web URL that we own, and specify to the provider. Forwarding to a mobile number is not sufficient, though OK as an additional feature. 4. White-listing recipients: I am not so sure that this is possible, but I would like to be able to send SMSes to people that have actively opted in, even if they are on the DND. list. I seem to receive such messages, even though my number is DND, e.g., for a dentist's appointment. 5. Cost is a factor, but not the most important one. Ideally, the price point would be 10-15 paise/SMS for a package of a few thousand SMSes. Receiving on a non-dedicated short code should not be more than about Rs. 2000/month. Would love to hear from people with direct experience with a vendor. Thanks in advance. Regards, Gora ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

There is plenty of documentation on Hadoop, and these days setup of Hadoop is quite easy. There is the Hadoop book: http://www.manning.com/lam/ . Beyond that, you are best off asking for help on a Hadoop-specific list. However, it would be advisable to do your homework first, and ask specific questions on the list, rather than open ones like this.

[ilugd] Plan for a workshop series
Hi, We have been kicking around the idea of a doing a series of workshops: * The idea is to start out with topics of interest, and on each topic, have a series of workshops that go progressively deeper into the subject. We are open to volunteer speakers, but from the current pool, we are looking at the following topics: - Data stores, especially noSQL ones - Drupal - Django - Search - Mobile applications These are non-commercial workshops, with attendance being free, and participation is open to all. * The workshops will be held twice a month at CIS, JNU, from 10.30am-1.30pm Sat. These will normally be held on the 2nd and 4th Sat. of every month, but the first one will be on the 22nd of Oct (please see the separate announcement). * Two subjects will be active at any given time, with the workshops alternating between them. * Unlike past efforts, we plan on these being hands-on, technical workshops. Attendees will be expected to bring their own laptops. As these workshops are not funded, attendees can bring their own lunches, or eat at the JNU canteen. Please do follow up with comments, ideas, and do volunteer to speak. Regards, Gora ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

[ilugd] [Commercial] Looking for a network engineer in Jaipur
Hi, If you are a network engineer in Jaipur who can be onsite, and take on small tasks, probably on a part-time basis. or know of such a person, please contact me off-list? Appended is a request from a small American startup who have some kind of a setup in Jaipur. I do not know any further details, as this request came through a third-party. It seems like a simple task for now, but might become more interesting later on. Regards, Gora --- We'll be upgrading the network configuration in both Brooklyn and Jaipur.� This will involve new hardware as well as new providers.� We will do our best to configure as much as we can in Brooklyn but at some point, someone in Jaipur will need to make some configuration changes at our direction, not to mention plug things in and do the tests to make sure it was done correctly.� It's best if that person not only be able to follow the instructions but also know what they mean in the first place in case something unforeseen comes up. For example, instead of I connected the machine but still couldn't get connectivity.� Please advise we would want to hear I plugged in the machine and there was no connectivity as expected, so I first checked to see if I could ping the gateway and that was OK and then I ... So maybe not necessarily a network guru but someone who knows something about networks. On the tactical side, right now we're troubleshooting some network issues between Jaipur and Brooklyn involving the VOIP phones. We just set up some network sniffers on the Jaipur side and are doing the same on the Brooklyn side so we're good with this for now because we were able to do that setup remotely.� When we start plugging and unplugging things eventually, things may get more exciting over there :-) --- ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
