Hi all,
Sorry, I was unable to present at the meeting. I have never joined 2 ur meeting, but always willing to do so. This meeting as was on saturday, and I have my classes on saturday, and so also for the august meeting. will u all main members could try to arrange the next meeting on any sunday? I was also unable to access the net for some reason, so I was unable to drop my classes. please from the next time clearly mention the place, date and time atleast before one(1) week from the meeting. I am very interested about ur meeting, and also the topics. I have lost the oportunity from seeing sample arm processor, and also missed the topics u all discussed. I am not a old linux user or linux master? I always waiting for ur all comments on linux based products. Thanks for u all, who are atleast joined the meeting (so called ADDA by sougata) and have rescued from messing like the previous one. any forecasting on the next meeting's location and time??

Minutes of meeting - 11-sep-2004
Members present:
1) J. P. Mathew 2) Madhukar Bhat ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) 3) Arijit Mazumdar 4) Saugata Ghosh
Request to List admin: please add Madhukar Bhat to the mailing list.
We shall call it a Linux <BENGALI>adda</BENGALI> rather than a Linux meeting. I was the first to reach the place and waited till half an hour before J.P.M. and Mahukar came in. Arijit arrived a short while after. Arijit told he could have arranged the J.U chemical department hall but that was quite unnecessary for 4 people.
Although there was no formal lecture or presentation, the discussion we had was quite useful to all of us. Its not possible to elaborate much on each topic we discussed, since it was just like an adda as I said earlier.
The following topics were covered:
Gentto: How to install and upgrade. - by Arijit Its probably the closest distribution to "Linux From
Scratch".
You do everything with simple commands like
ebuild, emerge, search, etc.
(please elaborate or correct if I am wrong)
Philips arm processor - development on Linux platform. - by J.P. Mathew J.P. brought a sample arm processor and showed us. He said how he is using gcc and other gnu/linux tools to develop software for arm processor (please elaborate or correct if I am wrong)
RFI: Radio Frequency Identification and its uses (off topic) - Arijit
Live pen drive Linux distribution: - puppy linux and others. - by Saugata Just like live CDs some live pendrive distributions are coming up. Its potentially very powerfull since pen drives are always rewritable. With modern motherboards supporting the "boot from usb" option, imagine carrying a live pen drive linux distribution thats also writable.
Other topics: Latex, Eclipse, LTSP, AMD64, Broadband in India, etc, etc.
Last but NOT THE LEAST - We discussed how to arrange future meetings. The number participants in the meeting was of a little concern and we hope to have more participants in future meetings.
