Speeding up Linux adoption
by Venkatesh (Venky) Hariharan 15 Mar '04

15 Mar '04

Dear all, I am writing a note on detailing Free/Open source projects that can speed up the adoption of Linux and would like to hear from the list members on this subject. I would like to create a sharply defined list of say, ten specific problems which students from engineering colleges can be asked to solve. Ideally, these problems should be solvable by a group of people within 3-6 months so that these students can achieve a tangible goal. Some of the suggestions I have received so far have been interesting. These include: * Developing an open source tool like VM Ware that can run both Windows and Linux off the same CPU * Developing an open source VoIP product like Skype * Getting Internet Explorer working (natively?) on Linux (This will be of particular help in increasing the penetration of Linux in banks since many banking applications, though browser based, are optimized to work on Linux) * Reverse engineering Tally file formats and developing an open source financial accounting package (or getting Tally to work--natively--under Linux) * Developing translation mechanisms for converting Internet content from English to Indian languages and from one Indian language to another * Developing tools like Ximian Connector to connect to Micosoft Exchange server etc. If anyone can add to this list, I shall be grateful. Regards, Venky

IBM Linux Ad
by Vinayakam Murugan 15 Mar '04

15 Mar '04

Hi I saw an ad on NDTV 24X7 regarding Linux and how the child has grown up. This Ad is by IBM. I think this is the first time Linux has been promoted in the popular media. This should increase awareness. -- Warm Regards ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vinayakam Murugan Tel: 91-22 - 2288 2163 Ext 121 Help Desk: 91-22 - 2288 2774 Fax Number: 91-22 - 2288 2812 http://www.TheArgonCompany.com Viruses getting you down?

Re: [ILUG-BOM] GNU/Linux advocacy
by Maz Kamran 14 Mar '04

The times we are living in, technology is developing at such a rapid pace and affecting so many aspects and it raises a lot of issues... Most people do not have the time to even become aware of the issues involved, but that does not mean that it stops affecting their lives..It is just that they remain unaware of it.. In the case of computing, this has happened and almost everyone on this list is aware about it...and the question that has come up is- Is open source and free software the right way to do computing..What is so wrong about closed source? In the case of DVD encoding where private studios decided in order to protect their business.. they simply divided the world into regions with numbers 1,2 3,4..And they encoded DVDs so that dvd sold for Region 1 would not play in another...and so on...What a mess they made..This is clearly a case of bad use of technology and should be challenged..and as it happened with the hacker who wrote the code so that he could simply play the dvd. ..the judge upheld correctly his right to do so. I bring this up as an example. Now marketing people who work for private business go to any extent, with huge resources. They create the wrong impression on peoples minds. Therefore it is indeed important that wherever and in whatever way one can, one shares the knowledge about the principles that form the basis of this OS.. Give back to society what you take..in whatever way you can... It is a big issue of our time and we should not ignore it. Just putting in my two words...
