[ilugd] [OT] vernacular (Re: Seeking help for IT initiative for vernacular)
At 2006-01-05 13:03:47 +0530, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The word 'vernacular' is a generic, insulting term, historically used by former colonial masters. It literally means 'languague of the slave or servant' and is derogatory. Vernacular could be applied for any non-English language. Just for the record: Vernacular does *not* literally mean language of the slave or servant. It means only native or indigenous to a place, and its use is not considered derogatory. (The word *does* ultimately derive from the Latin verna for a slave born in the master's house, but that meaning was never preserved in common usage, nor apparently in the intermediate Latin root vernaculus, which means domestic or native. By the time our former colonial masters got their hands on the term, it was thoroughly cleansed of any slavic(!) associations.) It's a different matter entirely that the British were contemptuous of many aspects of our vernacular cultures. The word you seek is 'Indic' Indic may be the better term anyway, but only because it's more specific and descriptive. -- ams ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

But that isn't a question of obligations. The community's role is partly to create an environment, as you say, that helps people to understand and appreciate the issues; but that isn't the function of the license per se. The two complement each other. Let me explain that a little better. There are two major aspects to promoting Free software: First, you have to convince individual authors to allow their software to be shared and used freely. Then you try to convince them to do so in a way that seeks to protect those freedoms in perpetuity (i.e. to use a Copyleft license of some kind). The existence of a community is in itself a powerful argument in trying to convince people to participate and contribute. And the license is an important tool in sustaining the community by giving its ideas a sound legal basis. At no stage does this involve any obligations other than the legal ones you incur by agreeing to a Free software license. Confusing those roles of protection and propagation will only end up weakening both. (I suspect you're not going to like this, but RMS has written and said now and again that the Free in Free software is derived from the same roots as free enterprise, and inspired by the ideals expressed by the American constitution.

[ilugd] kernel code management
Hi. At 2005-09-18 08:41:31 -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I would like to understand how linux maintains its repository with the support for multiple platforms and contributions coming from all over the world. The simple answer is that Linus works really hard (as do the subsystem maintainers). The idea is that people write patches and send them to the maintainers of the relevant subsystem (see src/MAINTAINERS). The maintainers apply patches to their own tree, and forward them to Linus only when they're satisfied. Linus looks them over and applies them to his own tree if he's satisfied. All this happened without any version control software for a long time (mostly because there was no version control software that didn't suck for the kernel development model). Then Linus started using BitKeeper, which made him an order of magnitude more productive, because it was easier to merge in patches from multiple trees. More recently, he's switched to using something called git (which he wrote himself). But BK and git just make it easier to handle patches and keep track of change histories from multiple trees. It's still a lot of hard work to make sure the code continues to improve overall, and there are just no short cuts to that. If thers is any information available online, please redirect me towards the same. See http://www.kernel.org/git/ for a few relevant links. For very much more, you'll have to read the archives of the linux-kernel mailing list. -- ams ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/ Event: Freedel 2005, 17th 18th September, 2005 - http://freedel.in

In this release, we have focused on fixing problems we found in production during the last month. Changes since 0.96: - The command-line administration tool (ms) is more capable and usable. - We try to handle unlabelled 8-bit content in messages. - Many IMAP and SMTP protocol problems have been fixed. - The few internal bugs that crashed our server have been fixed. - Error handling and operational behaviour have been improved. Known problems: - msconsole and the servers can use far too much RAM. - 8-bit names in address fields may be handled incorrectly. - We don't handle some common encodings (GB2312, for example). The servers no longer try to upgrade the database schema on startup. If you're upgrading from an older version, please run ms upgrade schema by hand instead. We plan to release 0.98 on 2005-09-19 (and 1.0 sometime in November). Please send bug reports, questions, and suggestions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for testing Mailstore. - End forwarded message - -- ams ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

I don't know what you were expecting to see, but the subject does come up every now and then: people wonder why more women don't participate, say Hey, we should do something about that! and go back to whatever they were doing, because nobody knows what to do. With the ILUG-D list, it makes me feel like I have wandered into an old boys' gang... That's not going to change without some help. Appropriate behaviour is not learned in a vacuum: it's learned through repeated interaction and observation. Very few people actually *want* to make women uncomfortable, but if they don't get any feedback about what they're doing wrong, they won't know what to change. That feedback doesn't have to come from women, of course; ideally, one would get negative feedback from men too, but on a list like this, the incentive to provide such feedback is really low, with the result that a lot of stuff is accepted more or less by default. (Which, now that I think about it, is probably what you meant when you were talking about comfort and an old boy's club.) Unfortunately, it's not realistic to expect that to change before you participate. No amount of good intention can replace feedback. Since you're here, and since you care enough to point out your discomfort, perhaps you could go a step further and say something when you feel uncomfortable? What will probably happen is this: 1. Some people will grumble, but probably not very loudly. 2. Most people won't say anything, but will think a little more about what they post. 3. It'll become part of the list culture to post feedback. (Because people will see it happening.) 4. More and more people will see what's appropriate or not just by hanging around, without having to be told by anyone. Easier said than done, though.

You cannot specify a password on the command-line (where it would be visible to other users via ps(1)).

In bash, you'd use export X=Y instead of setenv X Y. When I came out from the editor, I found the errors on the same terminal bash: setenv: command not found bash: setenv: command not found bash: setenv: command not found That's rather strange. Perhaps your prompt string re-reads the .bashrc, or something like that. But that shouldn't cause this to happen: after that I tried to run vi ~/.bashrc. But the problem is that, now not even single command is running on the terminal. Huh? What happens when you try it? You could try running su -s $(which zsh) - as a normal user. -- ams ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
