Hi Ab, nice to hear from you ... I thought we will help them with compilation tips. Hacking would come as a sequential step. I am sure there are numerous folks out there seeking a headstart. Nevertheless i will start my effort, it will be great if you could pitch in.

People from Hyderabad ??
by Tarun Gaur 21 Apr '04

21 Apr '04

Hi Rakesh, Thanx for your prompt mail. Infact I mailed Dr. Nagarjun to find out if there is some Hyderabad Chapter or not? As per him we dont have it as yet. So i was thinking of getting some mail ids and contacting like minded people in hyderabad and throwing a small party for them and take it ahead from there. Please advise and suggest on how we could go about it. regards, tarun >From: "Rakesh \"arky\" Ambati" <rakesh_ambati(a)yahoo.com> >To: Tarun Gaur <gaur_tarun(a)hotmail.com>, fsf <fsf-friends(a)gnu.org.in> >Subject: Re: [Fsf-friends] Compiling HURD ..

by Tarun Gaur 21 Apr '04

21 Apr '04

Hi Friends, I fully agree with Sajith that we should start discussing some programming topics in the lists and help revive the list .... Let me initiate a technical discussion out there ... I have couple of friends who are very eager to start working on HURD but they have no idea on how to go about compiling their own kernel from scratch. Is there someone who is real good at it and can help the newbie's out .... Lets keep a date and Start our postings on this learning, if others can suggest other topics it will be great !! Let this be in fsf-prog .... Hail Open Source ! regards, tarun ============================================================ If not I, Then Who?

Something more Generic and Distributed ... Naming!!
by Tarun Gaur 21 Apr '04

21 Apr '04

Thanx Imran, Yep LDAP is more specific. Infact I am looking at some ideas related to distributed secure naming architecture that could be applied in and out of virtual world. If anyone knows of any such work somewhere, it will be of great help. Regards, tarun _________________________________________________________________ Strike the right balance!
