[Ilugc] [OT]: FLOSS Start-Ups In India?

2011-11-20 Thread Swapnil Bhartiya
Hi,

We are planning a series of stories and interviews of open source 
start-ups from India (Linus' interview triggered the need). So, if you 
know any such start-up please let me know.

You can contact me at Muktware.com.

[Ilugc] Need Advice, Linux/FOSS Gurus from India

2011-11-20 Thread Swapnil Bhartiya
Hi,

Linus' interview made me think if there really is lack of Linux gurus? 
So, I am thinking of a sub-section in Muktware where we profile/feature 
one Linux/FOSS expert from India every week.

What's your opinion?

  It is good to check the status, always!

 #4 Follow Ruby coding guidelines, strictly. Fix your indentation.


We will rearrange the codes soon.



 #5 Write variables in full. @choice instead of @choic.


Will be done.



 #6 Ruby is also about being concise. You don't require the parenthesis
 in the if() statement.

  if @choice == 'y'

 instead of

  if(@choic == 'y')

 The same goes with function invocation: quit instead of quit().

 Did you do some research on finding available chat clients that work
 from the terminal? If yes, how different are they from your
 implementation?

 Emacs has jabber support [3]. irssi has xmpp support [4] to talk to a
 Jabber network. There is also the option of using BitlBee [5] that can
 act as a gateway for multiple chat protocols. This allows you to use
 any console client of your choice.

Thanks for spending time to do lot of research on this for us. And we will
follow the above mentioned guidelines. To say frankly we did not do any
homework or research on already available clients and now after seeing
those links we get some more idea.

 What's your opinion?

I guess, there might not be just one person or a few persons who we can 
call linux/FOSS gurus in India. IMHO, You might find a few persons who 
are experts in their own fields such as MySQL, Drupal, RoR, Subversion 
and several other open source technologies.

A QA section where practical problems are addressed will be more 
appealing to me such as VPN  How to Setup OpenVPN or Blu-ray  How 
to get blu-ray working on Linux etc.

Is there any requirement that it should be fedora 12. Since AFAIK,
fedora 12 is too old. Most likely you wont face this error in latest

[Ilugc] [ilugc] How to print unicode charecter in terminal

2011-11-20 Thread Sathia S
Hi,

I created a terminal based English to tamil dictionary application with
python.

This fetches data from http://ta.wiktionary.org/wiki/ and displays the
output in terminal.

Problem is that it does not print tamil font clearly. I cannot read that
font. Eventhough I

installed tamil font in my system. What is way to print unicode character
in terminal ?

Please see output (problem) here
http://sathia27.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/screenshot-2.png?w=1200h= .

and my code is https://github.com/sathia27/e2t-dictionary.

[Ilugc] [OT] [Job] Embedded Linux/Android/Cloud Computing

2011-11-20 Thread Vid Deep
Greetings!

One of my friends is looking to startup a company in Chennai and wanted
help assembling a team.

This will be a subsidiary of a consumer electronics company from the US.
The first product that will be worked on is small linux multimedia device
(form factor like a SheevaPlug).

Skills he is looking for are:

Optimizing and developing for embedded linux platforms (ARM based - not
necessarily android). This will include both kernel level work and user
space applications in the consumer multimedia area (DLNA, UPnP etc.)

Android app development to interface with said devices over the cloud or
directly.

Development of cloud infrastructure to provide services for such devices.

Understand working in a startup environment and how attitude is important
as much as skills/experience. This will be like a grounds up startup and
will come with related perks and responsibilities. :)

If you are interested, please contact me (strictly off list) and I will get
you in touch with my friend.

Thanks

 Problem is that it does not print tamil font clearly. I cannot read that

 in terminal ?


What terminal emulator are you using ? I have tried tamil characters on 
both xterm (248) and gnome-terminal (2.28.1). Even if you set the 
terminal emulator to UTF-8 mode, xterm just doesn't know tamil while 
gnome-terminal doesn't use fixed width to display tamil characters which 
is what seems like happening in your case. Try the following in the 
command line,

echo -e #\0340\0256\0205#

If you notice that the tamil character is not between the '#' characters 
but instead overlaps with one, thats the problem ur facing then. I don't 
know of a solution to this, other than considering tamil characters to 
take twice the width and leave a space between some tamil characters you 
print.

Length or number of lines is not important. With backticks, you can

One way to debug this is to try to redirect the output to a .txt or
.html file and check the output in gedit or firefox browser that
understands the encoding.

If rendered correctly, then the problem is with the gnome-terminal.

#1 Please put a header, copyright, license info if you are releasing
code to the public.

#2 You might want to give a detailed example on how to use your
program in the README with examples. I am not sure if you expect
English/Tamil text as input at various prompts.

#3 Add your contact e-mail address in the README

#4 Your exception cases need to be clearly specific. If you test for
Internet connectivity, then clearly say so.

#5 You have imported re, codecs, textwrap and not used it in the code

#6 It is good practice to check function return values before
proceeding to use them in your code

#7 Please add docstring when you write Python code

#8 Avoid magic numbers and strings, please. Move all your prompt
strings to separate variables, so tomorrow if you have to change them
you only have to do it once

#9 Fix your indentation

 Linus' interview made me think if there really is lack of Linux gurus?

The guru shishya mode of teaching worked out when the materials to

Now, Linux or, any FOSS structure mandates collaboration and sharing.
Shouldn't you be looking away from the single guru idea ? As it
stands, available source code+documentation+IRC+UGs etc do make it
easier for a willing participant to acquire knowledge and demonstrate
enough caliber to be known as an expert/architect/name_what_you_want.

(I know this is OT, but just wanted to point out the down side of
fixating on gurus rather than working on a larger group of talented
individuals)

 So, I am thinking of a sub-section in Muktware where we profile/feature

Re: [Ilugc] Ubuntu Community Appreciation Day

2011-11-20 Thread Swapnil Bhartiya

unfortunate but true that Ubuntu does not follow the norms for
 healthy
 competition between distros that are followed by *all* the other
 distros.

When I was interviewing Greg KH at LinuxCon and I asked him he flatly 
said that Canonical's business model is to not participate. I am working 
on the transcription of the interview and will be publishing in 
muktware.com soon.
