Subject: Celebrating annual day of FSF India (fwd)
========== Forwarded message ==========
Some of us in Thiruvananthapuram met on 6th evening and decided that we
should celebrate the annual day of FSF India on July 21st. The group
included Sathish Babu, M. Arun, V.K. Sajith and a few others. We are
thinking of a one day programme that will include a public meeting,
discussions and an exhibition. The exhibition will have posters on
philosophy, posters on software and computers demonstrating different
kinds of software. We hope that the function will draw some media
attention and help in popularising Free Software. Applications like
Blender, Gimp, OpenOffice and Scribus could attract both the public and
media.
An email discussion group, fsf-kerala@cc4.tifr.res.in, was also formed
to discuss our activities, so that we could think of other activities in
the future at Thiruvananthapuram, and also co-ordinate with people in
other places who may be interested in conducting such programmes
elsewhere.
Any suggestions from members are welcome.

Subject: Debian-edu Sarge CD available...

========== Forwarded message ==========
*From: * Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>
At last I have a working debian-edu sarge CD. There are no known
problems with the first stage (d-i) install. The second stage has a few
known problems:
- Asks a few too many questions, including time zone, about a
second CD, and exim configuration.
- Takes a long time setting up munin; dns issues?
- Missing locale-config-skolelinux package, which leads to an
error message at the end of the install. Konstantinos
Margaritis is working on making this available for sarge.
- Fails to properly display the error message, which is why it
drops into the base-config menu near the end of the install.
This should be fixed in the next build for now just scroll
down to the next menu item and complete the install.
The main problem with this CD is that it lacks the workstation profile.
The education-workstation task in sarge depends on 400 mb of packages,
which just don't fit on a single CD with the rest of debian-edu. The
other profiles are available on the CD, and there are about 250 mb free.
The image is available using ftp, but please use rsync if you can to
save bandwidth. It is updated twice a day.
ftp://developer.skolelinux.no/cd-sarge/sarge-i386-1.raw
I've not really tested the CD beyond initial install, so skolelinux
experts, please check it out and let me know what's broken.

This message is in MIME format. The first part should be readable text,

Dear users of both large and small computing tools,
A new stable release of Guikachu is available.
About Guikachu
==============
Guikachu is a GNOME application for graphical editing of resource
files for PalmOS-based pocket computers. The user interface is
modelled after Glade, the GNOME UI builder.
Catch it all from http://cactus.rulez.org/projects/guikachu/
Features
========
* Uses GNOME-VFS, you can load files from anywhere, e.g. from the
Web, from an SMB share, from a tarball.
* Exporting to/importing from PilRC .rcp files
* Support for non-Palm PilRC targets (like the eBookMan)
* Support for the following PalmOS resource types:
=09- String and string list resources
=09- Dialog resources
=09- Menu resources
=09- Form resources
=09- Bitmap resources
=09- Per-application resources (e.g. version number)
* WYSIWYG Form Editor, with drag & drop capability and visual resizing
* Flexible, complete undo support
* Sample file with sample GNU PalmOS SDK-based application
* Documentation (a complete user's manual)
About these releases
====================
This is a GNOME 2 port of Guikachu 1.4, no new features are
implemented yet.
Guikachu uses the GNOME 2 platform, particularly the GNOMEmm and GTKmm
C++ bindings. The ImageMagick library is used for managing bitmap
resources. To actually create the PalmOS resource files, you will also
need PilRC (part of the GNU PalmOS SDK) to compile the .rpc files
produced by Guikachu.
Beware of bug=E9mons!

Subject: Bogofilter-0.91.2 - new current release
Bogofilter is a mail filter that classifies email as spam or ham
(non-spam) by a statistical analysis of the message's header and content
(body). The program is able to learn from the user's classifications
and corrections.
The statistical technique is known as the Bayesian technique and its use
for spam was described by Paul Graham in his article "A Plan For Spam".
Gary Robinson, in his weblog Rants, suggests some refinements for
improved discrimination between spam and ham. Bogofilter's primary
algorithm uses the f(w) parameter and the Fisher inverse chi-square
technique that he describes.
Bogofilter is run by an MDA script to classify an incoming message as
spam or ham (using wordlists stored by BerkeleyDB). Bogofilter provides
processing for plain text and html, supports multi-part mime message
with decoding of base64, quoted-printable, and uuencoded text and
ignores attachments, such as images.
Bogofilter is written in C. Supported platforms: Linux, FreeBSD,
Solaris, OS X, HP-UX, AIX, RISC-OS, OS/2, ...
******* ******* ******* ******* *******
Bogofilter-0.91.2 has been released. It fixes a number of minor issues
in release 0.91.1.
