Good Linux/FOSS Books For Migrated Schools
by Milind Oka 01 Jun '18

01 Jun '18

Hi, As you already know, ILUG-BOM have migrated two schools in Mumbai to Linux/Open Source. There is a query from these schools for a list of appropriate computer books for coming academic year. There is an excellent project - Computer Masti by, IIT Mumbai, where Open Source Computer Books are being created and released under 'creative commons'. Intially copyrights belonged to InOpen technologies, now they are taken over by Next.Education. https://www.computermasti.in/ I really appreciate IIT-B and FOSSEE teams for their commendable projects. It seems that the project now is maintained nicely by Next.Education without violating the Open Source Policy. I suppose that they do not depend upon government funds now to grow. These books will definitely be a great help to all the schools migrated to open source. So I think we can surely recommend these books to all schools. But this solves the problem of most of the CBSE/ICSE schools who generally do not have budget restrictions. On the other hand, students of many state board schools come from weaker sections of the society. They cannot even spend 250 Rs for a book. Our two schools also come in these category. ( They are aided, but IT section is unaided, so even salary of teachers is paid by school management). While talking to ILUG team, Fr Jude of St Mary school said "We cannot charge more than 500 Rs for computer fees, then how to pay licences of commercial softwares ?" So lack of funds is the prime reason for them to migrate. They are expecting from us something like a small booklet costing around 50-75 Rs for each std so that students can afford it. Kindly give your suggestions. TIA Milind

[OT] Spam Tabs in Browser
by Rony Bill 25 May '18

25 May '18

Hello Friends, Off late I have observed that when visiting some websites (Clean ones), especially where a form is to be filled, a spam advts tab opens in the browser. It happens in Android as well as Ubuntu in Firefox. In my Ubuntu laptop, I was on a sports shopping site and just when I clicked on Buy Now, it opened a spam page, even playing an advt video. What is this new phenomenon happening? Regards, Rony.

Hi, As Richard says, the problem is probably due to MTNL's irritating habit of injecting Ads. I have never seen them do a full page one - i.e. usually I saw small popups - but I have had the URLs blocked for a couple of years now, so I suppose they have "progressed". Regarding Rony's question "Is there any setting in my router that can reduce this?". Yes. You need to block some URLs/IPs on your router. My list is as follows: 203.94.227.141:3000 203.94.227.141:80 203.94.227.140:80 203.94.243.40:80 adphonso.com:80 phozeca.com:80 Where the setting will be depends on your router - on my D-Link it's "Advanced Setup" => "URL Filter" -- Chirag Wazir http://chirag.freeshell.org
