Minutes of the meeting held on Saturday 15th '03
[41]meetings_minutes by Frederick Noronha
THIS REPORT has to be very brief, because I was myself late for the
meeting in Margao last Saturday. Sanil T. was busy doing a demo and
talking about Elx Linux (the distro from Hyderabad) when one intruded.
Amey Hegde, one of the newest members to find this
sometimes-infighting-prone and sometimes-very-helpful network of
GNU/Linux enthusiasts. Apparently he works @ Controlnet,
not far from ArvindC, but was not aware of this group till
recently. How do we build more awareness about those who would
like to be our members but just don't know what we do?

GNU/Linux Frequently Asked Questions
[45]gnu_related by Richard Stallman
When people see that we use and recommend the name GNU/Linux for a
system that many others call just "Linux", they ask many questions.
Here are common questions, and our answers.
* Why do you call it GNU/Linux and not Linux?
* Why is this issue important?
* How did it come about that most people call the system "Linux"?
* What is the difference between an operating ystem and a kernel?
* The problem with "GNU/Linux" is that it is too long. How about
recommending a shorter name?
* Should the GNU/[name] convention be applied to all programs that
are GPL'ed?

ILUG-Margao is back!
[60]announcements ILUG-Margao is back! We have shifted over to a web
portal system. It was getting a bit difficult to manage and add new
content. After some unexpected issues with PHP-Nuke and a lot of
customising, the site is up and running. Everything seems to be
running fine. However, if you come across any any bugs/404 errors,
please inform us.
Key Highlights:-
Added Contributions, Projects & Tutorials sections
No more cross browser compatibility issues! Pages are displayed using
w3c standards.

Subject: Linux-Mobile-Guide 3.11
Date: 11 Apr 2003 10:35:02 GMT
Hi,
still fighting the trademark trouble Obelix versus MobiliX, I have found
some time to finish a new issue of the Linux-Mobile-Guide.
The Linux-Mobile-Guide is a guide covering laptop and PDA related Linux
features, such as installation methods (via PCMCIA, without CD drive,
etc.), hardware features (PCMCIA, IrDA, APM, etc.), and configurations for
different (network) environments. It's available at
http://mobilix.org/howtos.html in HTML format and from the· MobiliX IPK
feed http://mobilix.org/feed.html
Werner
Changes:
- added chapter about the SHARP Zaurus Linux PDA, - added SuSE
Configuration Profile Management - SCPM
to mobile configuration chapter,
- added link to new Synaptics TouchPad driver, - put the "Mobile Hardware"
chapter behind the PDA chapter, - many URL corrections (LDP and others), -
minor changes
PS:
A documentation of the trademark case is at
http://mobilix.org/mobilix_asterix.html the next proceeding in court
(second instance) is at November 21st 2002 at Oberlandesgericht Munich
(Germany).

trans is a small bidirectional dictionary lookup tool for Linux PDAs
(Zaurus, iPAQ). It uses grep to lookup words in a gzipped dictionary file
and uses opie-sh to show the results. It comes with a German English
wordlist that contains around 116000 words and phrases. It's available at
http://mobilix.org/trans.html

Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2003 15:32:52 +0200
HI!
Find a new pre-release of python-ldap:
http://python-ldap.sourceforge.net/
python-ldap provides an object-oriented API to access LDAP directory
servers from Python programs. It mainly wraps the OpenLDAP 2.x libs for
that purpose. Additionally it contains modules for other LDAP-related
stuff (e.g. processing LDIF, LDAPURLs and LDAPv3 schema).
Download link:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/python-ldap/python-ldap-2.0.0pre08.tar.gz?download
Changes since 2.0.0pre07:
ldap.schema:
* For backward compability with Python versions prior to 2.2
Lib/ldap/schema/tokenizer.py and Lib/ldap/schema/models.py use
(()) instead of tuple() for creating empty tuples.

Some people think you can't securely poll/vote on the internet(!).
I guess they should think again.
