dear all, have you see the buzz grow? 01. it started off with NITC hammering this open letter to TCS, Infosys, Wipro. these students, (and potential future employees of these companies?) demanded not just openness in software, but transparancy in software business dealings. read the letter here: http://fossmeet.in/node/128 02. then, this evening, a candle light vigil will be held in bangalore, the IT hub of india to the world to take this further: http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/Campaign_for_Document_Freedom#Candle_Light_Vigil_for_Document_Freedom and here http://mm.gnu.org.in/pipermail/fsug-bangalore/2008-April/001435.html 03 meanwhile, the vidya college in thrissur also joined in: http://hiraneffects.blogspot.com/2008/03/dfd-08-request-considered-for-odf-as.html 04 anivar will hold a talk on this at barcamp bangalore http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/Campaign_for_Document_Freedom#On_Barcamp_Bangalore_6 05. 57 campaigners have signed their names, and the open letter has gone to college noticeboards: http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/Campaign_for_Document_Freedom 06.

There is no better rebuke than purposefully not paying attention (ignoring) the mighty ones when they are screaming for attention :-) All these companies deserve the same treatment... You are unnecessarily giving them free (as in ___ :-) publicity. Actions of the silent ones are sometimes mightier than the Words of the vocal ones... -- __ 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.

[PLUG] [ANN]Fwd: [belenix-discuss] Belenix 0.7 is available !
All: Going forward, we intend to start to bundle Indian Open Source projects along with future releases of Belenix So get involved, and get your projects showcased to the world !:) -- Ram -- Forwarded message -- From: S h i v [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, Apr 15, 2008 at 12:15 PM Subject: [belenix-discuss] Belenix 0.7 is available ! To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], OpenSolaris Advocacy [EMAIL PROTECTED], Belenix Discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED], BeleniX Development [EMAIL PROTECTED], Bangalore OpenSolaris User Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dello All, After a long gap and lots of things happening behind the scenes, we are pleased to announce the availability of BeleniX 0.7. This release marks a considerable change in the evolution of BeleniX. With 0.7, BeleniX is now a source level derivative of Project Indiana. As such it has most of the Indiana features except for Image Packaging which is still in the works. V0.7 is installable to the harddisk and supports ZFS root. Following are the highlights of the release: * Re-branded Caiman Installer installs BeleniX to ZFS root. * The Distro Constructor is adapted as the BeleniX Constructor. * Fully packaged. All software in BeleniX are delivered via SVR4 packages unlike the previous releases. * BeleniX now includes the full 64Bit Kernel and libraries. The LiveCD is still 32Bit, but the 64Bit kernel is booted on 64Bit CPUs after installation to harddisk. * Properly integrated and themed KDE 3.5.8. BeleniX now includes the K Display Manager SMF service which comes up by default while booting from harddisk. People familiar with the legacy DTlogin will welcome its ability to drop down to Console Login unlike GDM and the seamless desktop login (again unlike GDM!). * Synced up with ON Build 81. * 0.7 Includes packages from various other OpenSolaris consolidations: Fully Open X, SFWNV, JDS, NWS, Docs (man pages), Developer Product Tools etc. BeleniX includes some 650+ software packages in the LiveCD with more via a separate download. * Additional software can be downloaded via the /usr/bin/get-pkgs utility. Please see the Release Notes for more details. This is a temporary measure till BeleniX migrates to Image Packaging with its own repository. * The bundled in Gtk-Qt theme engine provides Qt theming support for GTk apps running under KDE. * The Firefox form widgets look better thanks to KDEwidgets from Kde-Look.org. * The BeleniX Development project is now hosted off SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/belenix. The SVN repository hosts all the SPEC files used to build additional FOSS packages for BeleniX and sources and packages of all BeleniX tools utilities, BeleniX Constructor and Branding stuff - check it out. The Release Notes contain other important info and is a must read: http://www.genunix.org/distributions/belenix_site/?q=ReleaseNotes_0.7 The belenix 0.7 download information is available at http://www.genunix.org/distributions/belenix_site/?q=download Overall, we hope this release has a reached a level of usability where you can actually install and use it as regular desktop environment and enjoy KDE on OpenSolaris. This announcement with a few additional points is available at http://www.genunix.org/distributions/belenix_site/?q=node/69 best regards Shiv ___ belenix-discuss mailing list http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/belenix-discuss http://groups.google.com/group/belenix-discuss -- __ 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.
