Do we have a bunch of developers/maintainers who can take up the role of serving requests when / whoever is free? A captcha (maths or image) while registering for the wiki + booting out anonymous edits brings the spam attack numbers down to a great extent. (worked very well for ubuntu-in.org) Every new user registration can be configured to send an email to the admins which he/she can *easily* verify the authenticity of the user. Is'nt this sending an email request touching the nose round the head kind of thing and again lead to the problem of the maintainer being busy and not responding to the email? Comments welcome! And as SK already put it, it would be really helpful to keep the discussion on the mailing list (atleast a few status updates) so that other interested people (like Vamsee) can also take part in the creation and provide suggestions.

If possible, I request NRC-FOSS to sign a MoU with colleges, that students/faculty can work with NRC-FOSS for any F/OSS project work required.

Bharathi Subramanian wrote: I requested bala to implement this before releasing it to public. Thats main reason behind the delay. Okay, but I find that strange, given that we were still debating static pages or wiki. Last I know, some of us continued to make arguments in favor of the static/open version, which were not responded to, satisfactorily. Part of my motivation to put up the site over the weekend was to show it can be done faster than the time we're taking the time to discuss this back and forth, and I also suspected that the discussion will die once again with a limbo, only to be repeated at a later date. My humble request is to try the new approach without being judgmental about it, especially since the wiki/drupal versions didn't give us expected results so far. If things don't work out, I'll be the first to pitch in with converting the content into dynamic mode. After all, most of it will be just cut and paste.

As usual inspiring effort. ~ Ananth On Mon, Jul 20, 2009 at 10:27 AM, Shakthi Kannan shakthim...@gmail.comwrote: Hi! I had conducted a Fedora workshop (GNUtsav) at National Institute of Technology (NIT), Agartala [1], Tripura, India on July 18-19, 2009. I would like to thank the Fedora project for sponsoring the event. Special thanks to the student volunteers who worked hard in organizing the event. Mention must be made for the support of the faculty, Prof.Swapan Debbarma, Prof. Anupam Jamatia (ajnr on freenode), and Prof. Dwijen Rudrapal. My presentation sessions included: * i-want-2-do-project. tell-me-wat-2-do-fedora. * Badam Halwa of Embedded Systems * di-git-ally managing love letters * Fedora Electronic Lab (demo) * Packaging RPM -- Red hot, Paneer (butter) Masala The presentations are available from: http://www.shakthimaan.com/downloads.html It has only been two years since this Institution has started. It is 25 km from Agartala city. The Institute has 50% reservation for State students, and 50% for students coming through an All India Engineering Entrance Examination. People speak Hindi, English, Bengali, and Kokborok. Guwahati, Assam is the main connectivity for this part of the world, or, flying from Kolkatta, West Bengal is the other option. Subsidized rate flights are available from major domestic carriers in India. Helicopter service between North-Eastern States is also available, but, is expensive. Bus journey from Guwahati, Assam to Agartala, Tripura is very tedious, and might take atleast 24 hours. When passing through the dense forests, CRPF [3] escort is required due to insurgency problems in forest areas. Students have access to distros at the labs, as well as in the hostel. Power cuts are quite common here. Mobile cell coverage is nil or works at only few places. Internet connectivity is nil or very slow on campus. Hence, we have provided them with an offline Fedora 10 repository (around 24 GB) that they can use in their computers or in the LAN. Special thanks also goes to dgplug user group from Durgapur, West Bengal for the offline repos [2]. There are few browsing centers in the city that students can use, but have to travel the distance from the campus. Work is in progress to provide students with a Fedora 11 repository. Agartala is a very scenic, lush green, and very peaceful place. Hopefully when the construction work on campus is completed in the next six months, they will be better equipped with Internet access for communicating online, and for VoIP sessions.
