Software Freedom Day : South Africa
by Kapil Karekar 08 Aug '04

08 Aug '04

On August 28, Free Software enthusiasts in South Africa will be celebrating Software Freedom Day. GNU/Linux user groups (LUGs), companies, organisations and individuals from around South Africa will get together to raise a toast for free and open source software. This is scheduled to be an annual event aimed at increasing awareness about free software. The initial call to declare a software freedom day was started in the US and has since been taken by organisations around the world. Software Freedom Day was also celebrated in India by the Free Software Foundation India. The activities spread over a day included a discussion on copyrights and society, a presentation on the Thunder by Anand Babu, an exhibition of IT related caricatures and posters etc. Some publications and short films were also screened. In South Africa a local website has been established to publicise the day and events have been planned for shopping centres, universities and schools throughout the country. As the day is designed to promote the use of Free Software, most organisations taking part in the celebrations will be handing out Free Software and giving members of the public a chance to see what it is capable of. Many organisations will be handing out a copy of The OpenCD, a collection of free software that can be used on Microsoft Windows. For users wanting to try out the GNU/Linux operating system organisations will also be handing out copies of Knoppix as well as other GNU/Linux distributions.

Re: Exatt Problem

Hi Linuxer, Exatt is known to have a problem with the higher MTU ...so just >>lower<< the MTU on your eth with ifconfig and if its still a problem just post your status...and i'll talk to the exatt admin abt this..! -----------------Konsole Output--------------- pppd[0]: Connect: ppp0 <--> eth1 pppd[0]: Couldn't increase MTU to 1500 pppd[0]: Couldn't increase MRU to 1500 pppd[0]: Couldn't increase MTU to 1500 pppd[0]: CHAP authentication succeeded: Welcome to sion001. pppd[0]: Couldn't increase MTU to 1500 pppd[0]: Couldn't increase MRU to 1500 pppd[0]: Connection terminated. ------------------------------------------------------- "cerritoslug" in the U.S.A had this intresting concept of a GnuPG Keysigning Party Here are some excerpts.. -------------------------------------------------- A key-signing party is a get together with GnuPG/PGP users for the purpose of meeting other GnuPG/PGP users and signing each other's keys. This extends the Web of Trust that GnuPG/PGP relies upon. At the February CerritosLUG meeting there will be a party for all participants. Anyone and everyone is invited. We sign keys because GnuPG/PGP is based upon a Web of Trust. This web of trust is what ensures that nobody can pretend to be you and that you can really believe that a message you receive from Bob is really from Bob. The more deep and tightly inter-linked the web of trust is, the more difficult it is to defeat. ------------------------------------------------------ Just thght i share it with everybody. Bye for now. BijuCyborg __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 50x more storage than other providers! http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail
