---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: shishir <shishirdbhat(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 12:13 PM Subject: Re: [FSUG-Bangalore] Download To: devesh <dost4frnd(a)gmail.com> I do this using TCL-Expect Script which would reset my modem and start download at 2AM then reset again and shutdown comp at 8AM. But for that you have to keep the laptop on... If you want you can wake up a laptop in sleep mode using Win7/Vista scheduler (tutorial - http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/166809-task-scheduler-wake-up-computer.ht… ) then schedule it to restart and by keeping linux as default in grub you can boot into linux. Then, once in linux, you can schedule your download (For GNOME I think there is a GUI for chrontab, GNU-Scheduler). For linux, I dunno how to do that... I am sure there will be some software for it. BTW, This is all possible if your motherboard supports ACPI ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Configuration_and_Power_Interface) which I think should not be a problem with most modern motherboards... Hope this helps.

by VIGNESH PRABHU 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

Hi friends, Software Freedom Law Centre, New Delhi(SFLC-ND) and Free Software Movement-Karnataka (FSMK) are celebrating Software Freedom Day, by organizing Talks and events by one of the mavericks of the Knowledge Freedom campaigns and an affiliate of SFLC-ND - Prof.Eben Moglen,Founder, Director-Counsel and Chairman of Software Freedom Law Center. In this visit to Bangalore, Prof.Eben Moglen will be participating in three separate events organized by FSMK. *1. Inaugural Lecture of Free Software certificate course at St.Joseph's College,Bangalore on the 15th September 4 p.m.* St.Joseph's College, Bangalore has incorporated 120 hours of free software sessions to be handled by FSMK and other like-minded Free Software Enthusiasts. The course syllabus will be put up on website of FSMK very soon. The idea is to to empower students to become productive self-supporting citizens of the free software community. Its an honour to have professor Eben deliver the first lecture of the course. *2. Prof.Eben at Ambedkar Community Computing Center (AC3) on the 16th September., evening* Before two years, RMS and Prof.Eben visited AC3 with only a few students who were being taught computers using Free Software. Today, these handful of young free software activists from the community are running three other Community Computing Centers completely on their own. Prof.Eben will visit AC3 for a community discussion, where the members of these centers will initiate a discussion on the activities so far, the ups and downs and the way forward. There will also be a small cultural event organized by AC3 students. *3. Interaction with Prof.Eben Moglen on the Freedom in the Cloud at Indian Institute of Science, on 17th September , 3p.m – 5 p.m, faculty hall IISc. * Speaker: Prof. Eben Moglen Professor of Law and Legal History at Columbia University Founder, Director-Counsel & Chairman of Software Freedom Law Center Time: Fri. Sep 17 2010 3pm-5pm Venue: Faculty Hall, IISc Title of Talk: "Freedom in the Cloud: Software Freedom, Privacy and Security for Web 2.0 and Cloud Computing" Abstract: Everyone wants a piece of you these days: Google, Facebook, Flickr, Apple, AT&T, Bing. They'll give you free e-mail, free photo storage, free web hosting, even a free date. They just want to listen in. And you can't wait to let them. They'll store your stuff, they'll organize your photos, they'll keep track of your appointments, as long as they can watch. It all goes into the "Cloud." How we got here is quite a scary story. But nowhere near as scary as getting out again. This talk will discuss how much worse things have become since the pre-cloud era and explain what you can do to reclaim your freedom in the era of Web 2.0. I cordially invite you all to come and celebrate software freedom day along with us during these events. -- Regards, Vignesh B. Tech in Computer Science National Institute Of Technology-Durgapur

International Conference on Enabling Access to Education Through ICT
by Krithika 13 Sep '10

13 Sep '10

Dear All, The International Conference on Enabling Access to Education through ICT may be a great platform for increasing awareness on the use of free software in education through ICT. The details are given below: *International Conference on Enabling Access to Education Through ICT* When: 27th-29th October, 2010 Where: Magnolia Hall, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi Organisers: Centre for Internet and Society The Global Initiative for Inclusive ICT (G3Ict) UNESCO ITU WIPO Daisy Consortium Digital Empowerment Foundation Society for Promotion of Alternative Computing and Employment The Deaf Way Foundation Event sponsor: The Hans Foundation Target audience: Educators, mainstream and special schools, colleges, universities, disability organisations, policy makers, libraries, *technology developers*and other persons and organisations working in this area. Background: Children with disabilities in India are often left out of mainstream schools due to a variety of reasons, primarily the lack of awareness amongst educational organizations and teachers, near absence of infrastructural resources and lack of training in this regard. It is believed that barely two per cent of the 70 million disabled persons have access to education in India. Unless we take special efforts to remedy this situation by equipping teachers, educational institutions and the entire social infrastructure to adopt innovative, cost effective and technology based resources such as assistive technologies, ubiquitous Web, multiple platforms, social networks, online libraries and digital resources etc to enable access to education for disabled children, they will continue to remain excluded from social participation. *Join the Discussion!* The conference will focus on highlighting existing policy and practical barriers for students and educational institutions in developing countries, showcase ICT based solutions which are presently being adopted in different countries, point to existing knowledge resources and emerging trends in education. The conference will look at the various technologies, tools and practices that are necessary to bring education within the reach of all persons with disabilities as a step towards achieving inclusive education in India. This includes education at all levels- primary, secondary and higher education as well as distance and online education. The format of the conference is highly engaging and is designed to enable the attendees to explore the challenges and opportunities while equipping them with the tools needed to implement ICT solutions within their organizations. The expected outcomes from this conference are: • Create awareness amongst educators, policy makers and disability organizations • Understand challenges and explore solutions • Evolve a set of recommendations for educators on best practices • Publish a White Paper which will provide a set of recommendations for policy makers on inclusive education. • Create a case study database of best practices on the use of ICTs in education for persons with disabilities. For more details, visit: www.edict2010.in Please register immediately on line at http:// <http://goog_994282269> edict2010.in/register-online/, or download and complete the registration form and mail it to Nirmita(a)cis-india.org Thank you Regards Krithika
