Hi,
I use Ubuntu and depend on Synaptic to install/uninstall packages and also
to search for packages. I want to gradually learn to do the same things from
the command line. Is there any way I can sort of ask synaptic to log all
system commands (apt-get or whatever) that it executes with the options?

Freedom... at a Free Software meet
We invite you for a virtual meet of the India Linux Users Group-Goa at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4sQK7AZyDQ
ABOUT THE VIDEO: On the fourth Saturday of each month, a group of
volunteer-techies meets at the Goa Science Centre (Miramar), to share
knowledge and ideas. Strangely, this free-to-join, non-profit group has been
effective over the last eight years in building skills, sharing talent, and
keeping it going. More details at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ilug-goa
DETAILS: ILUG-Goa was launched in February 2000. It has 583 members on its
mailing list, and upto 15 turn up each month for the meetings, hosted
generously by the (Government of India's) Science Centre, Miramar. Anyone
can join this network, and all it costs is a ten-rupee entry fee to the
venue for each meeting. The mailing-list is also open to all.

And what makes you think that it is not indexed by google and yahoo
and all other search engines right now? We don't block search engines

An enterprising group has taken on a radical approach in attracting users to Linux: switch a whole town! Dubbed "Lindependence 2008"
(a.k.a. LIN08), this event strives to switch citizens in Felton,
Calif., for at least a week from Microsoft Windows to Linux. The
initiative, loosely led by Ken Starks in Austin, Texas, and Larry
Cafiero in Felton, has taken the idea of introducing normal computer
users to Linux to screaming heights. By July 28, those in Felton who
decide to take the plunge will go Microsoft-free for a week or more.

We need something like this here.. :D

Dear Friends,
I need LAMP Trainers to work with me on a project, on a purely commercial
association.
Obviously, I would love to look for vertical expertise in each area of LAMP,
to create and impart course ware driven knowledge to an audience that can't
think beyond (sic!) *other, proprietory* technologies.
The requirement is for 4 hours a day, 3 days a week.
I need people who are passionate about their expertise area, and have a deep
understanding of their subject, and huge practical experience too.
Do send across expressions of interest to me so that we may start
establishing a working relationship ?
Regards

Hello All,
Greetings from IT for Change.
I had earlier shared information about a new FLOSS project that we had
started working on - FLOSSInclude (http://www.flossinclude.org/)
I am writing to you again to give you details about the planned activities
in this project and to seek your support for the same.The FLOSSInclude
project is an international research project in FLOSS and open standards
which aims to study the requirements of increasing the deployment,
development and societal impact of FLOSS in Africa, Asia and Latin
America.
ITforChange (http://www.itforchange.net/) and Sarai, India
(http://www.sarai.net/) are the two organizations in India, which will be
a part of this project.
As part of this project IT for Change seeks to focus on ?FLOSS and the
public sector?, and will study the role of public sector agencies in
procuring, organizing and stimulating production of FOSS, including using
FLOSS for public administration, and sharing of FLOSS applications among
public sector bodies.
We specifically aim to understand;
(1) the context of, and requirements for, a wide scale deployment and use
of FLOSS within the public sector agencies in India,
(2) the issues and challenges involved in building an ecology for the
development of such FLOSS and applications that have the most development
and governmental uses, and,
(3)the issues and challenges in fostering sharing software in the public
sector.
Understanding such techno-social as well as social factors would be useful
to understand,conceptualize and design programs that would further the use
of FLOSS in these sectors.
Our activities in the initial phase of this project will include -
1. Collection and analysis of data on government policies on FOSS and
open standards, and on FOSS implementation in Indian public sector
2. A study on the issues of perceptions regarding software choices within the
public sector
3. Undertaking a techno-social analysis of success and/or failure of FOSS
implementations in the public sector
As we launch the first phase, we request your support for gathering
information in the above mentioned area. Please do let us know of any
organizations/individuals/resources which might prove useful in gathering
such information.
Looking forward to your support through the project.
Please email back if any further clarification is needed on this.
Thanks,
Vinay.
