Re: off topic (but I don't know who to ask) - probably?? ISP problem

[Shay Gover]

Maybe use a vm on some random cloud service?
Or better yet, use a university computer.

Re: How to image a linux computer

[Shay Gover]

Use clonezilla.
Before cloning:
1) Remove gpu drivers
2) Remove microcode package
3) You might need to change partition id or disk id in the bootloader.

Re: ISP recommendation in Israel - geek-friendly & IPv6

[Shay Gover]

I have Partner fiber.
Note that fiber ISP is area dependent. You'll have to check availability in
your area.
ISP with fiber (That I know of. There are also virtual ISPs): Bezeq,
Partner, Unlimited, Cellcom and Hot. Don't use Hot. Bad customer service.
No idea about static IP. As per Ministry of Communications regulations all
ISPs must offer IPv6.
With Partner I get ~70ms to western Europe.

Fwd: Weird 'free' output

Please do not assume that you can speak for the community based on an

There is no verdict in that case, not even a complaint (Checked on Nevo

Diagram\Flowchart desktop program with RTL support

[Shay Gover]

Hi,

I'm looking for a diagram tool that supports RTL. Dia doesn't support and
since it's discontinued it won't support it. Tried pencil project and
inkscape too but they have no RTL support too.

When dealing with cifs there are 3 versions (maybe more) of the protocol:
1.1, 2 and 3. I think that in each case u use different version.

I think that in each case diffrent libraries are envolved. In the second
case it's cifs (what version?).

Hi all,

I'm pleased to announce the Tel Aviv celebration of the OSI's 20th
anniversary, which will take place in central Tel Aviv on the evening of
February 5th in two weeks.

This is a great way to celebrate together the huge impact that open
source in general, and the OSI specifically, has had on our work (and
lives!) and mingle with like-minded people.  The sessions should be of
interest both to complete newbies in the world of open-source, as well
as veterans, and there are some planned surprises to make it a fun and
special tribute to the local and global open source communities.

Please take a minute to sign up at
https://osi20thanniversarypartytelaviv.splashthat.com

By signing up in advance, you help so that we know how many are coming
so details can be planned accordingly, and also, frankly, the more
people that we sign up, the more arm twisting power I have to ask
sponsors to help make this an extra-special evening.  Also please feel
free to share this with other relevant people and/or groups.


Thanks, and looking forward to seeing you in two weeks!

  Yitzchak

hi there,

so yes, I assume most of you on this list are regular Open Source
contributors, but I also assume you have a lot of co-workers who are not.
This is an opportunity to get them involved.

On  January 24th I am running a workshop in which I am helping people get
through their first Open Source contribution. This is a language
independent event. We don't even require people to know how to program.
There are plenty of things people can contribute even if they don't know
how to write code.

RSVP here: https://www.meetup.com/Code-Mavens/events/246683264/

Re: Advice on lightweight laptops for Linux (of course)

[Shay Gover]

My favorite lightweight DEs are:
1) LxQT: really lightweight (system requirement is 128MB RAM) but some
features are missing.
2) Mate or Xfce: Require 512MB of RAM but have all the features.

As for distros, I suggest arch or debian-unstable. They don't install
anything extra (i.e. If you didn't install it, it's probably not there :) )

Re: Linux Presentation Day in Israel

[Shay Gover]

Hi Hauke,

I've forwarded your message to the Hamakor board (Israeli NPO of OSS).
Someone will contact you soon (I hope).

Anyway, you're right. Omer Zak has forwarded your mail to the mail list and
we started talking about that. We're in the early stages of organizing this
event (Hopefully it'll happen as it seems like a good idea - for me
anyway). I'll try to gather people around this but I'm already committed to
organizing other OSS events.

Our next meeting is on the 29.12 and I'll make sure it'll come up.

Thanks,

Shay Gover

Re: Using DVB-T on Raspberry Pi (was: Re: Up-to-date hardware recommendation (this time, USB DVB-T dongle)?)

You can check if it's reception by taking it to work (Where you'll probably
have a usb for power and a monitor).

Re: חניכה בקוד פתוח

זו רשימת הפרויקטים נכון לעכשיו:

מפתחים:
- פשוטים: הסדנא לידע ציבורי
- בינוניים: http://corebos.org/
- מורכבים: QGIS, Kodi, LibreOffice

בדיקות:
?
לאף אחד אין איזה patch שהוא היה רוצה לבדוק? משהו שמי שאינו מפתח יכול להתקין?

תשתיות:
?
מישהו צריך אנשי תשתיות בהתנדבות?


יצר איתי קשר מפתח שמחפש פרויקט שקשור בפיזיקה או כימיה. מי מכיר משהו?

יש אנשים שלא ממש נהנים מהתואר.
חוצמזה, למצטיינים אין בעיה למצוא עבודה אז הם לא צריכים ניסיון נוסף.
אין לי בעיה שיבואו אבל להם יש פחות סיבות להגיע.

חניכה בקוד פתוח

[Shay Gover]

שלום לכולם,

לא מזמן פנה אלי סטודנט לא מצטיין ממוסד לא מוכר (איזו מכללה בירושלים) ומכאן
התחיל להתגלגל הרעיון.

אני רוצה לספק, במסגרת פעילות העמותה, איזו מסגרת שתקשר בין אנשים שרוצים
לתרום לקוד פתוח לבין מי שיכול להדריך אותם.

קהל היעד הוא:
- סטודנטים/בוגרים לא מצטיינים חסרי ניסיון
- מפתחים
- אנשי תשתיות
- בודקי תוכנה
(וכמובן כל מי שירצה)

מה שמשותף לכולם הוא שאין להם ניסיון בקוד פתוח והם לא יודעים למי לפנות וזו
מטרת המסגרת.

מה שאני צריך מכם זה:
- מתנדבים שיהיו מוכנים לעזור לקהל היעד בתחילת דרכו
- פיתוח: פרויקטים שקל להתחיל בהם (לא LibreOffice - הבנתי ששם נדרש שבוע רק
כדי להבין מי נגד מי).
- פיתוח: פרויקטים מורכבים כמו LibreOffice למי ששרד את הפרויקטים הקטנים
ומעוניין להמשיך למשהו מאתגר יותר
- פרויקטים שחסר בהם תיעוד למי שרוצה לכתוב תיעוד
- פרויקטים שחסרים בהם אנשי בדיקות
- פרויקטים שצריכים אנשי תשתיות (לא דווקא DevOps).
- רשימת טכנולוגיות/ספרים/נושאים שכל תורם חייב לדעת. הן לפי נושא (נניח רשימת
נושאים שחובה להכיר לפני כניסה לפרויקט שמפותח ב- Angular) והן דברים כללים.
* עדיף פרויקטים בצירוף איש קשר, בעיקר עבור הפשוטים (כדי לתת תמיכה
בתחילת הדרך) **

המטרה הנוכחית היא לארגן מפגש של מתעניינים ביולי.

זה הדף בויקי:
