Upcoming Seminars - March 20th, 2010 (registration closes on March 17th, 2010) • NLTK - NLTK [Natural Language Processing Toolkit] is a complete Open Source suite of Python modules, linguistic data and documentation for research and development in Natural Language Processing. It provides utilities for many NLP tasks like chunking, stemming and parsing to name a few. It is a useful tool for students, professionals and researchers interested in Natural Language Processing and is widely used by NLP community all over the world. • GNU Build System - The GNU build system provides an environment to a computer programmer that helps them make their software/packages portable across platforms (at least for Unix-like operating systems). It also makes the build process easier for the user, allowing him/her to use just a small set of commands to build the software/package from its source code and install it. April 17th, 2010 (registration closes on April 14th, 2010) Bug tracking systems MantisBT and Bugzilla: A bug tracking system is a very important tool in the software development process. Programmers and quality assurance people rely on it to keep track of reported bugs in their work. A database storing the bug data is a vital component of a bug tracking system. In a more general sense, a bug tracking system can be used as an issue tracking system to keep track of important issues in any project. Both MantisBT and Bugzilla are free, open source, web based bug tracking systems. • MantisBT is written in PHP, uses MySQL/ MSSQL/ PostgreSQL database, and works with Apache/ IIS webserver. It can be installed on Windows, Linux, Mac OS and OS/2. Easy to set up and use, it is very popular. • Bugzilla is written in Perl, uses MySQL/ PostgreSQL/ Oracle database, and works with Apache web server. It is recommended to be installed on Linux or Solaris, but can be installed on Windows (with some efforts). With powerful features, it is used by many well known open source and proprietary softwares. On the horizon • Eucalyptus • Hadoop • Drupal • SuTra (an Intelligent Suggestive Translation assistance tool , developed by CDAC) Previous sessions: FOSS tools presented in previous sessions. Registration fee: Rs. 200/- per participant.

05 Mar '10

Dear All http://www.nc2010.fsmk.org/ Session on Accessibility : Call for Experience Sharing ------------------------------ -------------------------- A special track on accessibility has been planned in the conference. The objective is to build more awareness of accessibility, which is a growing concern for the Web and computing in general, and to drive the development work in this area effectively by experience sharing. We are inviting those working in this area to share their experience using this forum. We would be interested in those working with people with disabilities to understand their perception of the needs in this area, and also those building solutions to understand what is being done. CDAC Mumbai is running an accessibility project as part of the national resource centre for FOSS (nrcfoss.org.in) aimed at enhancing the accessibility of a FOSS desktop. The project objective is to identify the needs and existing work in this area, and consolidate them to build a more accessible desktop environment. The session is motivated by this work. If you would like to present your work in this forum, please send a mail to aparna(a)cdacmumbai.in or sasi(a)cdacmumbai.in with a brief description of your work and your profile [not more than one page]. We will short list a few from the submissions received, for presentation. Please send your writeup before 12th March, 2010. thanks Senthil, Convenor - FSMK -- Raghavendra S +919986168349 http://ideasareimmortal.blogspot.com/ http://fsmk.org/
