Various kiosks already exist. This idea was to have an extended office
counter for Govt. offices and extending their reach and services to new
territories without major investments in premises and office staff.

Date: Sunday, 24 August 2008
Time: 1400 hrs to 1700 hrs
Venue: HBCSE, Mankhurd
Attendance: The meeting was attended by 22 members from the community
Talks:
* Rakesh Pai - JavaScript
Mr. Rakesh Pai started off the August GLUG meet with an introduction
to JavaScript, beginning with the history of JavaScript, how the name
JavaScript came about and where it is headed in the future. Then he
explained the features of JavaScript, how loosely typed nature of
JavaScript enhances creativity, object oriented nature of JavaScript,
the available data types, math library. The topic then got more
indepth with practical demonstration and discussions covering the
datatypes, operators, loops, functions, keywords, deep object
structures. The session ended with a small overview of Aptana IDE and
Firebug for debugging.
* Mr. Sanjay B. - jQuery
After getting familiar with the basics of JavaScript, it was time to
move on a little higher. Sanjay then intoduced us to a fascinating
JavaScript library called jQuery. We started off with names of some
popular JavaScript libraries like dojo, prototype, jquery. Then Sanjay
put up a demo on jQuery to explain the concepts. Various of useful and
fun stuff like getters, setters, event handlers, JSON objects with
animate, handling AJAX were covered with examples. Then he covered on
the overhead of using jQuery library in your page, cross browser
compatibility, documentation, working with CSS. The talk ended with a
small discussion on processing.js by John Resig.
* Discussion on software patents
This section got deferred due to unavailability of Dr. Nagarjuna at
this point of the meet. So, Mr. Dinesh Shah took the initiative of
discussing what software patents are and why should we care for them.
It surely introduced some new attendees in the meet to the real side
of software programming, where patents play an important role. Anurag
and Vivek Iyyer joined in to explain more on the same. Some of the
highlighted points were
o hardware-software patent combinations
o software only patents are not allowed
o effect on mobile industry and opencourseware
o can similar software be written on different hardware if
hardware-software combination has been patented?
o question and answers covered a few years back on ILUG-D
wiki on the topic
o how LUG as a community can help organisations like FSF
challenge the patents eg. documenting the process
o publishing of patent information as image PDF's
Fixing Namazu:
After the talks were done with Anurag and Dinesh Shah started the
process of fixing up namazu. Apparently generating index is a long
process, so it had to be left unfinished at that point.

I have a background in Medicine; but being interested in computers, esp. use
in biostatistics & data analysis; would like to do an MCA correspondence
course; to learn such concepts as Basics of computers (hardware)/Operating
Systems (UNIX), Programming Basics (eg 'C language), Databases/SQL, etc.
Any suggestions for a good course (*correspondence)*? I was thinking of
IGNOU & Sikkim Mainpal Univeristy.
Have installed the recent openSUSE 11.0 Linux distribution (till now was
using only MS-Windows XP & related applications), & learning about Linux
basics (that may serve as an intro to Unix OS also.)
Thanks,
