Let's revive Fsf-dev
by Rakesh 'arky' Ambati 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

Morning Friends, There has been numerous threads on various Fsf-India mailing-lists about the dormant Fsf-dev list.Forgive me for bringing up this topic once again,but lets at least try to do something about it. Now,I see no projects/developers interacting on Fsf-dev ML, at least we can try discussing topic relating to development issue or may non-programmer like me can post wish-lists for future GNU tools/programs. Any comments and ideas will be rewarded with a hot cuppa of coffee.Ha,now am off to top off my caffine levels. Cheers --arky ===== ____________________________________ /\ \ \_| Rakesh 'arky' Ambati | | Bangalore (INDIA) | | Homepage: http://arky.port5.com/ | | _______________________________|_ \_/_________________________________/ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Fwd: [Fsf-friends] Asia Source: Tech camp for the voluntary sector
by Sajith T S 22 Oct '04

22 Oct '04

Hi, Surely most of you have seen this, but still... Thanks, Sajith. ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [Fsf-friends] Asia Source: Tech camp for the voluntary sector Date: Friday 22 October 2004 01:04 From: "Frederick Noronha (FN)" <fred(a)bytesforall.org> To: fsf-friends(a)gnu.org.in ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Asia Source: Tech camp for the voluntary sector ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Bangalore, India. January 28th to February 4th 2005. Asia Source hopes to bring together over 100 people from 20 countries to increase the use of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) amongst the voluntary sector in South and South East Asia. This week long event will bring together NGOs and NGO technology support professionals working at the grassroots level across the region to learn new skills, exchange tips, and share experiences. Together with regionally and globally renowned experts and specialists they will look at the use of FOSS within the non-profit sector from both an access and a content perspective. Offering participants the opportunity to explore the practical technical side of FOSS whilst providing a conceptual backdrop. Asia Source will be the first event of its kind in the region, bringing together regional non-profit professionals with a rights based focus, it will invite those from both the technical and content end of the spectrum to focus on the practical elements of FOSS deployment. Participants with a range of expertise will be provided with a space for intensive peer learning. They will be given the opportunity to develop their understanding of FOSS, learn how to select and apply alternative technologies, and be provided with the skills and tools to utilise this within the context of their daily work. They will also be encouraged to explore the challenges and the future potential of FOSS adoption within the social context. During this 'camp' style event, participants will take part in a range of sessions. From planning and helping an NGO to migrate to FOSS, to sharing tips and techniques on using FOSS tools for content development, advocacy and campaigning. In parallel to this they will look beneath user-level scenarios, and break-down tricky issues such as localisation techniques and how to develop total cost of ownership models. Four themes will flow throughout the event 1. 'FLOSSophy' for NGOs 2. Migration and Access 3. Tools for content and communication 4. Localisation Asia Source will be held in a small artists community on the outskirts of Bangalore. Its aim is to become a community building event, with the potential to seed connections and future partnerships across borders and between skillsets. The event is co-organised by Mahiti.org (Bangalore) and the Tactical Technology Collective (Amsterdam). The event is guided by an advisory board of established non-profit and FOSS professionals from across the South and South East Asian region. Asia Source belongs to a larger family of Source Events that seek to increase the viability of FOSS use by the non-profit sector. Other source events have taken place in South East Europe, Southern Africa and are planned in 2005 in Western Africa. For more information please visit http://www.tacticaltech.org/asiasource or http://www.mahiti.org/asiasource Applications will be announced and invited between October and November 2004. Participants will be selected by the advisory board based on their interest and experiences. There will be a small registration fee for the event. A limited number of travel and registration fee scholarships will be available and may be applied for on application. If you would like to receive an application form or have any questions please write to asiasource(a)tacticaltech.org. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Thanks, ಸುನೀಲ್ -- Sunil Abraham, sunil(a)mahiti.org http://www.mahiti.org 314/1, 7th Cross, Domlur Bangalore - 560 071 Karnataka, INDIA Ph/Fax: +91 80 51150580.
