[SLUG] Linux Australia - halfway through 2003
23rd January - 23rd July We've made a lot of progress this year, and it couldn't have happenned without the combined efforts of everyone involved with Linux Australia. So a big thanks goes out to you all - Linux community rocks! This mail is just a summary of some of the things that have happened. Please feel free to post feedback, comments (and compliments) to the list! More details and the complete report can be seen at http://www.linux.org.au/projects/200307report/ General Organisation - Committee Meeting in Sydney - In the first face to face committee meeting since LCA2003, the LA committee went through a lot. Andrew Cowie guided us through "Organisation Strategic Planning" (http://www.linux.org.au/projects/200307report/org.html) to help us work out where LA is, what it's role should be and how we should go on acheiving it. Constitution - We also reveiwed the LA constitution, and have put up some proposed changes (http://linux.org.au/org/new/constitution.phtml). Comments and discussion are encouraged! LA in media (http://www.linux.org.au/press/) - We've been mentioned in many publications such as: ZDNet, AustralianIT, The Age, Sydney Morning Herald, LinuxCare and the fine LinMagAU. Check our website for URLs of the articles. Projects LCA2004 (http://lca2004.linux.org.au/): 'Past & Present' Meeting in Adelaide - The team from LCA2003 met with the LCA2004 organisers and everything is on track for a great 2004 conference. OLS/LCA Best Speaker award/exchange - Tridge has arranged with the Ottawa Linux Symposium (http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2003/) for an exchange of best speakers. That is, the best speaker from OLS will be funded to come and speak at LCA, and the best speaker from LCA will be funded to go and talk at OLS. This should be great for both conferences! Grants Scheme (http://www.linux.org.au/projects/grants/) - We've been able to financially help the GNOME project and LinMagAU. GNOME with the purchase of a HP machine to help the GNOME port on HP-UX and PA-RISC Linux and LinMagAU with day-to-day expenses. LUG Mailing List - Many LUGs are now able to collaborate and discuss projects and issues and are doing so. Achievments -- User Group Listing: - has been updated and now has current contact details - see http://www.linux.org.au/usergroups/ Setup TWiki: - Great for collaboration between committee members and relationship building with both Community and corporate organisations.

[SLUG] Linux, ACCC, SCO et al
For those of you who don't go to http://www.slashdot.org, there is a story about Open Source Victoria complaining to the ACCC about SCO. What a crak. Though one of the comments on /.was great. If you're old enough to know the 'bruce' sketch from Monty Python. Bruce: Gentlemen, I'd like to introduce a chap from across the pond who's going to be joining us here at the 'Straylian LUG. Bruces: G'day! Darl McBride: Hello. Bruce: Darl McBride, Bruce. Darl McBride, Bruce. Darl McBride, Bruce. Bruce: Is your name not Bruce? McBride: No, it's Darl. Bruce: Mind if we call you Bruce to keep it clear? Bruce: Gentlemen, I think we better start the LUG meeting. Before we start, though, I'd like to ask the padre for a prayer! Bruce: Oh Stallman we beseech thee! Bruces: Amen! Bruce: Crack tube! Bruce: Now I call upon Bruce to officially welcome Mr. McBride to the 'Straylian LUG. Bruce: I'd like to welcome the slimy bastard to God's own OS, and remind him we don't like stuck-up sticky-beaks here. Bruces: Hear, hear! Well spoken, Bruce! Bruce: Bruce here is a kernel hacker, Bruce here is a system administrator, and Bruce here checks source code for copyright infringement. And is also in charge of the BitKeeper repository. Bruce: What's New-Bruce going to do? Bruce: New-Bruce will attempt to undermine the legality of the linux source code, mislead the public about the nature of SCO's copyrighted code, question the validity of the GPL, and possibly have a secret partnership with Microsoft to reduce the spread of linux in the server and desktop markets by using a smear campaign. Bruce: But that's a load of bullsh%t! Bruce: A spit! Bruce: Howls of derisive laughter, Bruce! Bruces: Australia, Australia, Australia, Australia, we love ya! Amen! Bruce: Another tube! Bruce: Any questions? Bruce: New-Bruce, Are you a monopolist? Bruce: Are you a monopolist? McBride: No! Bruce: No. Right, I just want to remind you of the LUG member rules: Rule 1: No monopolists! Rule 2: No member of the LUG is to use SCO source code in the linux kernel... if there's anybody watching. Rule 3: No monopolists! Rule 4: Now this term, I don't want to see any member of the LUG not infringing on SCO's copyright. Rule 5: No monopolists! Rule 6: There is no!--- Rule 6! Rule 7: No monopolists! Right, that concludes the reading of the rules. Bruce! Bruce: This here's the penguin, the emblem of our source. You can feed it nasty SCO code, if you don't get caught, of course. Amen! Linuus Torvalds was nearly bald and made his own O-S, and linux it was called. Billy Gates came to take it away, but his server couldn't cut it. Linux was here to stay! Big Blue, Big Blue was supporting it too, and linux's growth seemed assured. Then Darl McBride came along and tried to sucker punch linux in the gut. There's nothing Stallman wouldn't call 'em when it came to G-P-L. He figured all the naysayers could die and go to hell! Bt linux wasn't taken and linux wasn't shaken. It wouldn't be that easy to kill(1) The penguin's here to stay, and if McBride won't play he can take his silly lawsuit and go away. Billy Gates, Billy Gates just stews and waits for the day when his junk is obsolete. And come that day we'll all go play Doom 3 on our linux boxen. Swet! Yes McBride can take his silly lawsuit and just go away. 'Cause the GPL will hold up and open source will save the day! Sincerest apologies to Monty Python. And Australia, too. And linux... And the Australian LUG... And anyone mentioned in the above spoof. I'm truly sorry. Really.

The encryption was broken a few years ago, details available here: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/openlaw/DVD/dvd-discuss-faq.html The upshot is that you should probably grab some or all of: - libdvdcss - libdvdnav - libdvdplay - libdvdread from freshrpms and install them. (I'm not sure precisely which ones contain the DeCSS libraries.) The DeCSS code is not normally included in standard builds of DVD players, presumably to shift some of the legal liability off the authors. -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Re: [SLUG] Help
Firstly start off with a business plan. See if it is a viable business in your area. Be honest with your cash flow projections you might have a lemon on your hands. How hard is it to count out how many computers you need multiply that number by a price you have been quoted? Then find out how much it costs for a big ass internet connection. What software are you going to provide your clients? Word, excel, games etc? Multiply the price for them to the number of machines you intend to have. This is only a small tip of a very large ice burg If you know nothing about computers I don't like your changes of being sucessful. Possibly look at another business venture. > Hi > > Can u please help me i want to set up an internet cafe but i havent > got a clue of were to start or what it cost.
