  Talk 2: Django - An Introdution
 Speaker : Thejaswi Puthraya
 Duration: ~1Hr
 Abstract:
 Link: http://www.djangoproject.com/

 To the freshman's, who  planned to attended  this month ilug meet
(seminiar), It would be more beneficary if you do some ground work before
you attend the talk, since I felt the same when i attened a workshop on
asterix a few months back.

To understand Django, we people need to  know basics of Pyhton programming.
Same way let we ask Vijay to share with us the prerequestite for the
DocBook.

Do your home work, before a workshop and you feel the difference.

good luck.

I guess you are getting this from gstreamer via Totem. Usually means, 
you have not installed the additional plugins.

[Ilugc] Fwd: [eGovINDIA] IAS officer faces wrath, shifted again

2009-02-10 Thread Arun SAG
Hi friends,

This is what Uma shankar IAS said on his transfer...I want to share it with
our LUG friends :)

  10th Feb

Dear friends,
I saw the postings on my latest transfer today only
I am accustomed to lightning transfers.
Transfers cannot affect my morale.
I am in a parking lot now, like the way I was parked in Tamil Nadu
Industrial Investment Corporation Limited for  a while.
The Government would call me again to do some difficult assignment.
But the resolve is firm - will work straight only. No role for corruption or
deviations from public interest.

I am enjoying my present postings which has no target (small savings
target).
15 minutes every alternate day is the job content.
I am seriously learning high definition video editing.

Intend to commence a write up on my experience in each posting. It would
make an interesting story for youngsters.
The moral of the story is that when the Government gives a heavy assignment,
enjoy doing it. And when it chooses to provide an assignment which has no
job content or very less job content, learn to enjoy it too. Sort of a paid
holiday after a hectic assignment.
I am enjoying my present posting.

 IAS officer faces wrath, shifted again
 January 26th, 2009 By Our Correspondent

 Jan. 25: Senior IAS officer C. Uma Shankar has set a record of sorts. His
transfer last Friday to the Small Savings department from the post of
Managing Director of Arasu Cable TV Corporation was the fourth in just six
months.



Said to be an efficient, tech-savvy officer and known for his role in
developing and promoting e-governance, he has been credited with the
introduction of open source software during his brief stint in ELCOT
(Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu Limited).




His transfer order came a day after the officer told the media in Vellore
that it would be better for the State to take over the Sumangali Cable
Vision (SCV). The officer was also critical of the damage caused allegedly
by the SCV to the Arasu Cable TV infrastructure in some parts of the state.



Earlier, Mr Uma Shankar was said to have been transferred from ELCOT after
he found fault with an errant IT firm that was run by a person with
connections.



The officer also incurred the wrath of colleagues for publicly voicing his
views against the alleged discrimination of Dalits. The story of bureaucrat
turned politician Sivakami is no different. Never in the good books of the
government for long, she was constantly transferred and posted to
insignificant jobs.

It is not good for the government if it punishes the sincere officers who
devote their time for the welfare of the state.It will definitely encourage
corruption ,fraud and maladministration .Govt.must set a good example.

Re: [Ilugc] Centralized Tamil Spell checker for GNU/LINUX

2009-02-10 Thread S.Selvam Siva
Hi all,

We have completed our first phase development of Tamil Spell Checker for
GNU/Linux with the following basic features
1)Contains 27989 tamil words.
2)Includes only 3 buttons.
3)marks the mis-spelled word while displaying it.

Launchpad link is
http://launchpad.net/~tamilspellcheckerhttp://launchpad.net/%7Etamilspellchecker

For convenience i have uploaded the source-code.tar.gz to launchpad which
you can use to test it.

*To see the revision details*:
https://code.launchpad.net/%7Etamilspellchecker/tamilspellchecker/dev-tamilspellchecker/

To download source-code:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~tamilspellchecker/tamilspellchecker/dev-tamilspellchecker/fileshttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Etamilspellchecker/tamilspellchecker/dev-tamilspellchecker/files

Next steps will be ,
1)Root word collection and derived word generation
2)Implementing common Tamil grammar rules (like சந்திப் பிழை)

I will be happy to hear suggestions from you.

Yours,
S.Selvam

I tried Mandriva2009 - but the C++  libraries were b0rked. Then I tried 
Kubuntu - but it went into an endless memchecking loop. So now I am 
stuck with fedora10. And for the first time I am seeing tamil and kannada 
rendered properly in firefox without any tweaking.
