Re: [PLUG] KWGR614 or WRT54GL
Sorry for the delay in answering, but I am sure, one antenna is for the G band and the other is for the B band. I don't mean to distrust, but I really want to find data to backup this claim. I tried searching the web, but didn't find evidence to suggest that two antennas are for 'b' and 'g' variant each. (May be I didn't look hard enough) This wikipedia page also doesn't mention something about one antenna is for the G band and the other is for the B band. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WRT54G Here is an image of Wireless-B only linksys router with two antennas. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fb/Linksys_Router.png Can someone provide more details ?

[PLUG] [OT]Learning HTML and PHP
Hi All, I am looking for an open-source web-based phonebook tool. I had posted a query on this list about it some time back. I have searched a lot on sourceforge and freshmeat for a suitable phonebook. None of them seems to fulfill my requirements. So I was thinking of downloading one of the tools and update one of them to suit my requirements. Most of these tools seem to based on php and mysql. I have no knowledge about html and php. Would like to know about how much time would it take to get familiar enough with html and php if I spend some of my time daily on it.

[PLUG] [x-post] foss events list in india 2008?
dear all, am googling since two days, can't find a complete and/or comprehensive list of foss or foss-related events scheduled for 2008. i know the number of events are growing. we have: 1.mashups, 2.OSSCamps, and similar 3.CII-partnered events, 4.leading national events 5.LUG-created regional events 6.academia/college events 7.commercial events but where's the list. or of tentative schedules. for example, some random excess: a) openitis.com mentions foss.in in december, and an event in florida. wow! but no mention of their own event in delhi in feb 2k8. http://www.openitis.com/openitis/events.php b) neither does the other site mention this: linuxasia.net c) gnunify does not mention its tentative or finalized schedules on its site or wiki: http://gnunify.pbwiki.com/ d) the freed.in banner or site does not mention the tentative schedule for feb-end 2008. e) NRCFOSS website's forthcoming events sections mentions events past, dead, and gone: http://nrcfoss.org.in/index.php?option=com_contenttask=categorysectionid=1id=22Itemid=2 would expect more constructive effort from nrcfoss f) ilug-d website, after it re-directs, mentions events held in sep07. g) fsf website has no link on their homepage to events at all: http://fsf.org.in/ h) CII ICT section has no list http://cii.in/menu_content.php?menu_id=477 i) PLUG site mentions no list of events in india http://plug.org.in/ j) redhat's events page spouts forth an error 404 http://www.redhat.com/about/presscenter/events/ k) all the colleges and academia across india which love to sport foss events, can't find 'em either. why list our schedules? 1. we can better coordinate our events with no overlap. for example, pune's mashup overlapped with mumbai's IIT weekend event. freed.in just skirted overlapping with linuxasia2008 thanks to a random phone call. 2. we can better use resources, since freed.in and pune's event, show how different regional communities can come together to collaborate on events. speakers, especially international speakers, could get to see our sub-continent on a discount while event-hopping :-) 3. our community has become too big and diverse to be addressed by just one event, or two. ;-) 4. placeholder for more so resolution: as a community, where do you figure we create a wiki, twiki, or similar site, where we encourage everyone to publish their final or tentative event schedules? over to you guys. :-) niyam -- __ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.

Re: [PLUG] [OT]Learning HTML and PHP
Hi, I am looking for an open-source web-based phonebook tool. I had posted a query on this list about it some time back. Even I am looking for a simple web-based phonebook. I wanted a online phone book because there is too much of diverse sources of lists that I have - both offline(phone-diary) and online(multiple mobiles, spreadsheets). LDAP seems to be way too complicated to understand and implement. So I was thinking of downloading one of the tools and update one of them to suit my requirements.

Sorry for the delay in answering, but I am sure, one antenna is for the G band and the other is for the B band. Both 802.11b and 802.11g use the same frequency band of 2.4 Ghz, unlike 802.11a which uses 5Ghz band. So, two antennae, one for b second one for g really do not make sense... A little bit of googling revealed that both antennae are used to counter effects of multipath propogation _ http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_tech_note09186a008019f646.shtml#multipath In any case, the two antennae are not meant to increase the range, and I think keeping one horizontal and second vertical will not boost reception. -Devendra Laulkar __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [ilugd] [PLUG] [x-post] foss events list in india 2008?
http://www.linuxjournal.com/xstatic/community/events is one road to take, nah! too generic. would be great to have an india or india-centric list to which ilnuxjournal could link. upcoming and/or facebook is another. facebook? i think they got bought over by microsoft. also wonder how easy is it for people to view, add, edit, or comment *without* registering to their service. nah! personally, i would not recommend facebook to anyone serious about foss, but you can tar me for that later. so far my opinion on this, for myself, still stands. sorry. so no flames or whatever on this, let's stick to the topic at hand. Point of course is that most of the FOSS events in India don't have the time or energy to chalk out a media/public face plan that would ensure greater and organised participation from delegates and speakers well let's try to actively solve this problem. here's what we could do: a) figure out one central place where anyone anywhere can log in and list an event. should this be a wiki/twiki site? please respond, and let's try to finalize this within 2 or 3 days. this way, we don't have to go through this awkward x-posted mailing thread. b) every fortnight or month, we could send out an email reminder on mailing lists to register events at this public repository. i volunteer to do this to the few mailing lists am subscribed to, but others interested could help and spread the word. c) similarly, those who list out events, such as openitis or nrcfoss or others, could be requested, nudged, prodded, or as a last resort pushed :-) to list or link to this list, so everyone knows what's happening where and when. d) events that i attend, have decided to photo-document using a cc-by or liberal license. this am doing at flickr. am doing this in the hope of giving faces to names to so many many people quietly working and doing valuable little things in the foss community of india. this according to me, is the one solid way of correcting the 'reality-distortion' of having a handful of demonic-gods and ego-maniacs tending to usurp the indian foss community. let the community lead. let the community be known. let everyone in the community be given their recognition. of course, everyone else is also encouraged to give as many pixelled faces to the indian foss community as possible. i'd like to call this the 'fossbook' :-) and we could use flickr, picasa, or whatever else you've got. LFY had its moments to emerge as the consolidated calendar site, but I'd daresay that they have lost it LFY has lost *to some extent* on their initial credibility, goodwill, and momentum, but so far, hope springs eternal. :-) currently, they're great for spiking up responses on mailing lists ;-) they also need a new direction beyond the 'linux' pond into the bigger ocean of foss and beyond. rahul is trying that with LFY's new avatar. unfortunately, it is still a long, slow, work-in-progress, which it shouldn't be. they seemed to have honed in on their positioning for their event, but i wish they'd sharpen and focus more on the core essence of all things foss and linux, the valuesystem. if they get that part right, they'll rock in all dimensions, and also figure out how to squarely and responsibly handle microsoft and other proprietary players without allowing them to ride on LFY's shoulders to damage the foss community. (drink-and-drive policy). okay enough said! back to the list. if we decide where to host this list, we could get off this mail-thread immediately. the list must encourage and allow tentative schedules and 'to be decided' entries, just so we have an early heads up. some suggested fields: event name. dates/schedules venue contact people website mailing list/forum/wiki past events links target audience expected numbers objective event-type: sponsored, or community-driven entry: registration, paid, mixed, rent-a-crowd... :-) :-) niyam -- __ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.

this is a bit [OT] and may contain humour so read it at your own risk... what is usually called FOSS is actually FSOSS (corectly called अफसोस ) The logic in ignoring first *S* is almost the same that is used in ignoring *is* in **GNU is Not Unix** this *is* is actally *IST* [in German], pronounced इष्ट [Sanskrit, meaning proper] and also indian standard time} This inherently has a symptom of ignoring small participants in the progress you are making..

[PLUG] Please sign the petition against Microsoft's Office OpenXML becoming an ISO standard
Hello, The Free Software Foundation is running a petition to oppose Microsoft's OpenXML from becoming an ISO standard. Serious flaws exists in Microsoft's OpenXML and it would be highly undesirable if it becomes an ISO standard. I request everybody to sign this petition to prevent bad standards from being established! The petition is at: http://www.noooxml.org/petition Some reasons for signing the petition: There is already a standard ISO26300 named Open Document Format (ODF): a dual standard adds costs, uncertainty and confusion to industry, government and citizens; There is no provable implementation of the OOXML specification: Microsoft Office 2007 produces a special version of OOXML, not a file format which complies with the OOXML specification; There is information missing from the specification document, for example how to do a autoSpaceLikeWord95 or useWord97LineBreakRules; More than 10% of the examples mentioned in the proposed standard do not validate as XML; There is no guarantee that anybody can write software that fully or partially implements the OOXML specification without being liable to patent lawsuits or patent license fees by Microsoft; This format conflicts with existing ISO standards, such as ISO 8601 (Representation of dates and times), ISO 639 (Codes for the Representation of Names and Languages) or ISO/IEC 10118-3 (cryptographic hash); There is a bug in the spreadsheet file format which forbids any date before the year 1900: such bugs affect the OOXML specification as well as software applications like Microsoft Excel 2000, XP, 2003 and 2007. This standard proposal was not created by bringing together the experience and expertise of all interested parties (such as the producers, sellers, buyers, users and regulators), but by Microsoft alone.
