RE:[OT][News]Turbolinux launches Multimedia device in India

Hi all, Competition for the Ipod from the Linux world..........far better than the Ipod I must say....... http://www.techtree.com/India/News/Turbolinux_Launches_Wizpy_in_India/551-8… Quote: "Simply by attaching the 'wizpy' to a computer's USB port, users can boot-up the Linux system that resides in the device's memory to then set up their own personal computer environment, and access their documents, e-mails, and the Internet in a safe and secure manner. The 'wizpy' doubles as a multimedia player with a 1.7-inch OLED color screen and keypad on the front. The gadget comes with software to play music in MP3, Ogg, and Windows Media Audio formats, as also to show xviD, MPEG4 video files, and JPEG images. The 'wizpy' can also record sound to MP3 files, display text files, and has an inbuilt FM radio. "

Actually, all too often the paid stuff is also thrid class, but it is natural to feel good about soemthing that one has paid for, to avoid feeling more depressed at being cheated. But OLSR and the new B.A.T.M.A.N (release party in Berlin on 20 June, all are welcome to be there literally or virtually) should be added to your list of very superior 'free' application/services, not popular because they are inexpensive (although that is also an important facet of real freedom, the freedom to spend appropriately and not because of some commercial hype or worse, legal restrictions) but because they are just so much darned better than the alternative.

Colloquium on FREE SOFTWARE AND SCIENCE by Georg Greve, President, Free Software Foundation Europe On Thursday June 7, 2007 at 3:30 pm Venue: V G Kulkarni Auditorium, HBCSE ABOUT THE TALK FREE SOFTWARE AND SCIENCE Free Software and science share common roots, and benefit society in several similar ways. In his talk, Mr Greve will explain the concept of Free Software and how it relates to maintaining our scientific basis as a society. As a practical example of this collaboration, the talk will give a brief introduction of the Science, Education and Learning in Freedom project, in which the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research plays a crucial role. The talk will close with an overview of how all of this relates to the global political trends of knowledge monopolisation, and the Access to Knowledge initiative. ABOUT THE SPEAKER Georg C.F. Greve President, Free Software Foundation Europe In early 2001, Georg Greve initiated the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE, FSF Europe), the first Free Software Foundation outside the United States of America and the largest transnational Free Software Foundation so far. Construction and coordination of FSFE as European non-governmental organisation, as well as its integration and coordination in global context was the focus of his work in the past years. Georg writes in the "Brave GNU World," a monthly column on free software published on the Internet in as many as 10 languages, and in international magazines including the German Linux-Magazin. The range of Georg's activities spanned areas like technology, politics, society, and economy as well as classical management. Among other things, Georg Greve was invited as an expert to the "Commission on Intellectual Property Rights" of the UK government or represented the coordination circle of German Civil Society during the first phase of the United Nations (UN) World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) as part of the German governmental delegation; he also furthered networking the Civil Society working groups on European level as well as for the thematic working group on Patents, Copyrights, Trademarks (PCT) and Free Software. All are welcome.

How to Boost Speed of OLSR Mesh?
by Rony 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

Hello All, At the wireless mesh setup in HBCSE, the download speed was very slow, max. 1 to 1.2 Mbps for a single user. How can this speed be optimized so that when we setup meshes all over Mumbai, we get decent speeds with multiple users. -- Regards, Rony. Knock Knock Who's There? Linux Who Linux? GNU/Linux
