Free ONLINE Drupal Training commencing August 10, 2010
by Sidharth Kshatriya 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

NoParrots.com free Drupal CMS trainings have been so far restricted to Delhi NCR, India. They have been a great success. Our meetup group at http://drupal-delhi.noparrots.com is already 100+ members large and we have had 6 meetups so far. During these 6 meetings we have introduced Drupal fundamentals. Its been a fun and humbling experience to have so many of you come to my training center in Gurgaon every Sunday afternoon and listen to me teach you a little bit of Drupal But I've received calls and emails from people all the way from Kerala and Bangalore to know if I offer online training. Starting from today, the answer is "Yes!" I'm happy to announce that starting from August 10th, 2010 (Tuesday) we'll have free ONLINE Drupal training. *Every week* I intend to teach Drupal CMS fundamentals from 9 pm - 11 pm (Indian Standard Time). We'll try to keep it on Tuesdays. For details please keep visiting http://www.noparrots.com and http://drupal-delhi.noparrots.com *If you have a broadband internet connection and an internet browser you should be able to listen to my lectures and see me share my computer screen as I demonstrate how to build websites in Drupal.* As usual, I'll try to keep each session as independent as possible to the previous one. You don't need any special programming knowledge to understand Drupal. *How can you join Free Online Drupal Training?* - Register yourself at http://drupal-delhi.noparrots.com - Say that you will be joining a particular meeting by RSVPing "Yes" on the meeting date - At the meeting time, join us at https://my.dimdim.com/learn_drupal (note that the URL https and not http) *What is Drupal?* * * *Drupal is a CMS (Content Management System), similar to Wordpress or Joomla that allows you to rapidly build sophisticated and great looking websites. The US President's websitehttp://www.whitehouse.gov is a great example of a website made in Drupal. Drupal itself is built on the PHP language (like Facebook).* *Questions?* * * Visit www.noparrots.com or email me at learndrupal[at]noparrots[dot]com for more details

[OT][Announcement] web3.0 mailing list
by Arulalan T 01 Aug '10

01 Aug '10

Dear All, Greetings .!. Do you have awareness about web3.0 ? The Semantic Web is a web of data. There is lots of data we all use every day, and it is not part of the web. I can see my bank statements on the web, and my photographs, and I can see my appointments in a calendar. But can I see my photos in a calendar to see what I was doing when I took them? Can I see bank statement lines in a calendar? Why not? Because we don't have a web of data. Because data is controlled by applications, and each application keeps it to itself. Humans are capable of using the Web to carry out tasks such as finding the Irish word for "directory", reserving a library book, and searching for a low price for a DVD. However, one computer cannot accomplish all of these tasks without human direction, because web pages are designed to be read by people, not machines. The semantic web is a vision of information that is understandable by computers, so computers can perform more of the tedious work involved in finding, combining, and acting upon information on the web. We are going to make web3.0 with the basics of semantic web. Let us discuss about web3.0 in this mailing list. Welcomes you to real data understandable by computer as data not as text ! - To join in the web3 mailing list, subscribe here http://www.freelists.org/list/web3 What is the Semantic Web? Where Web 2.0 is focused on people, the Semantic Web is focused on machines. The Web requires a human operator, using computer systems to perform the tasks required to find, search and aggregate its information. It's impossible for a computer to do these tasks without human guidance because Web pages are specifically designed for human readers. The Semantic Web is a project that aims to change that by presenting Web page data in such a way that it is understood by computers, enabling machines to do the searching, aggregating and combining of the Web's information — without a human operator. :-) More info about semantic web : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Web http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/ http://www.webopedia.com/DidYouKnow/Internet/2007/Semantic_Web.asp Thank you. -- Regards, Arulalan.T Kanchi Linux User Group Rocks ! http://kanchilug.wordpress.com My Experiments In Linux are here http://tuxcoder.wordpress.com One Day One Cmd via sms http://1day1cmd.wordpress.com

Spaceman talks about tribes (and gets interesting responses)
by steve 01 Aug '10

01 Aug '10

Hi, In context of a couple of mails I sent earlier this week, including the one about GNOME contributions by a certain distro, I thought yesterday's blog post by Mark Shuttleworth is interesting. More interesting are the responses he gets: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/439 This of course, was in response to GergDeK's(*) post: http://gregdekspeaks.wordpress.com/2010/07/29/red-hat-16-canonical-1/ Of course, having to defend oneself by words rather than work in meritocracy based FOSS is ...ahem ...sad. Read all the comments to get a fair idea. cheers, - steve (*) incidentally, calling people like GregDek, who just point out uncomfortable facts, 'The Gregs' is not considered as generalization by spaceman. -- random spiel: http://lonetwin.net/ what i'm stumbling into: http://lonetwin.stumbleupon.com/

Linux Event
by Surya Sharma 01 Aug '10

01 Aug '10

Since we were discussing this sometime ago, I'm returning to it. People mentioned we haven't had a good linux conference / event for a long time in Mumbai. I can arrange lecture halls / rooms and computer labs in my college [MGM College Of Engineering And Technology, location: http://is.gd/dUPzZ ] on the 8th / 9th of October (or some other Saturday/Sunday before that) What I'll need is support from you in terms of planning and arranging the event. If any of you are willing to put some effort into this, please let me know. Surya Sharma
