[OT] internship opportunities in NGOs related to FOSS

Hi all,

I'm a second year engineering student. As part of our curriculum at
DA-IICT ( http://www.daiict.ac.in ) we are required to do a rural
internship ( ie. work with an NGO and contribute to society in some
way ). Now I really want to do this well, so I figured if I could find
a place where I could work with technologies I'm passionate about,
that would be the best. So I'm really hoping to find some organisation
which uses FOSS extensively in its day to day activities and could use
another hand. The details are:

Time frame: 2-3 weeks in December 2009
Place: willing to go almost anywhere, but I live in mumbai
Areas I can work on:
    * Web development
    * Software development
    * Computer/Network setup
    * System administration
    * Teaching FOSS

My resume can be found at http://22bits.exofire.net/resume.html

PS. I would also appreciate pointers to organisations which could use
any kind of IT help, not necessarily in FOSS.

Thanks a lot,
Nikhil

Help for buldiing KDESC

Hi everyone.

I am trying to build the kdesc on openSUSE.

I have made a separate user for the purpose and I am using the easy recipe given at techbase.
I built the kdelibs, kdepimlibs, kde-runtime.

However when i restarted, the user that i made for building purpose does not load. I mean i can login, but the kde does not load and i get a white screen of death.
What should i do in such a situation?

Is bulding kde in a separate user a good idea ? Or should i make a virtual user ?

widget-taskbar bug : where to start

Hi, I have succesfully built the kde-source in a directory kde-devel.

How can i checkout the effect of changes i make to the code.
I tried running a nested session using Xephyr, but i just get a blank
window. I followed the steps given here :
http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Run/Nested_Session
Can someone help me with this ?

Also i wish to correct a problem (that i feel) : When we place mouse
over the taskbar and scroll accidentally, Kde switches windows, which
i don't like.

Where should I start for this task ?

Thanks for your time.

Hello KDE India : Introducing Myself

Hi,
I am Aman (irc : dedman) , a student of computer science from Delhi.

I love KDE Software and have been using it for over a year. I
especially love using Amarok, Kate, Kopete, KMail and the Plasma
Desktop as a whole.

I wish to contribute to KDE but I have no prior experience with
contributing to OpenSource.
However i have been programming in C/C++ for some time.

I understand that for contributing to KDE, I should learn Qt. I have
started on basic Qt tutorials and I am planning on buying the book
"C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4" by Blanchette and Summerfield.

Will it be a good starting point to Qt, and KDE in general ?

Thanks.

[OT][Contest] InCTF 2012: A national level capture the flag style ethical hacking contest

Hello everyone,

My name is Sanjay Gopalan and I am a student of Amrita University, Amritapuri, Kerala. The university, in association with Amrita TIFAC Core in Cyber security, is conducting a national level capture the flag style ethical hacking contest, InCTF, solely aimed at students. The contest is similar to several international CTF style contests such as UCSB's iCTF, RuCTFe etc but participation is limited to students enrolled in an Indian University only and is being held from November 2011 to January 2012.

The goal of the contest is to impart to students knowledge of secure coding practices and the implications of not following them. The contest features 3 rounds-first round is a learning round, second puts the learning to test and the final round is the CTF round where teams will be given a vulnerable Linux machine to defend.

The pre-requisite of the contest is knowledge of a programming language. Working knowledge of Linux is highly desirable but not required; learn the required skills while participating in the contest. The first round is a learning round which imparts the skills that will be required in the later stages of the contest.

A team can consist of maximum 5 members, all of whom must be from the same college. There is no registration fee to participate in the contest. Prizes for the top 5 places: upto Rs. 25000, upto Rs. 20000, upto Rs. 15000, upto Rs. 10000 and upto Rs. 5000 respectively.

Registrations to the contest are open till December 31st, 2011. Keep in touch via Website  | Email | Facebook  | Twitter

Tell your younger friends and relatives: KDE is participating in Google Code In 2011

Hi

KDE is participating in Google Code-In, which is an initiative by
Google to initiate pre-university students from ages 13 to 18 into
open source contribution. Unlike GSoC, there are both coding and
non-coding tasks. So participants who do not know how to code could
contribute documentation, translations, bug triaging etc!

Here's the dot.kde.org announcement of KDE's participation:
http://dot.kde.org/2010/11/22/kde-part-google-code

Here's a link for further information:
http://www.google-melange.com/gci/homepage/google/gci2011

Here's KDE's proposed list of tasks:
http://community.kde.org/GoogleCodeIn/2011/Ideas

And here's to show that India has done really well in GSoC, and we
need to do better than that in Google Code-In:
http://www.h-online.com/imgs/43/6/6/7/4/8/0/58462442de49b370.png

Please let your young friends know. Also, there are prizes involved,
although that's not why we do it.

@Prospective mentors: Hurry up! You have to sign up and submit tasks
before Monday!!

Regards
Akarsh

kturtle in bengali

Thank you a lot for quick response.

Actually this is my final year project to create the package.Now I have the kturtle.tar.gz and kturtle.mo file and want to marge them to get the kturtle(in Bengali) as a package by which I can use the software in Bengali after installation instead of configuring the system manually(means install kturtle,then paste the kturtle.mo to locale,after that select the script language as Bengali etc.).

Should I write a shell script to "move the kturtle.mo file to locale"? Please suggest some way.

Thanking you in anticipation....

Best Regards,
Joysankar Sengupta

To: Fedora India <india@...>

Hi

[For wider redistribution]

The Fedora Project leader has announce yesterday, July 7th that FUDCon
will happen in Pune in November 4th to 6th in COEP college

http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2011-July/002981.html

More details about the event is at

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:India_2011

We would like this event to be the largest FUDCon ever, in terms of
breadth and quality of the talks as well as participation and a great
audience.  I need help and if you are interested in participating as a
speaker or hackfest contributor or organizing the event or helping find
co-sponsors and anything else, do get in touch with me.   If you have
any questions or feedback,  feel free to ask me as well.

A bit of background for the curious (warning: long read):

FUDCon is in a typical and a long held hacker tradition, a play of words
and a dual acronym FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt or Fedora Users and
Developers) and Con (Against or Conference). So you can read it as
either Fedora Users and Developers Conference or against FUD.

FUDCon is the Fedora Users and Developers Conference, a major free
software event originally envisioned in US as a means of putting
together contributors and planning for the next release of Fedora and
then later extended in a more elaborate conference, that happens
globally and each major region (APAC,  EMEA,  LATAM and NA) gets to host
one event per year.

FUDCon in APAC has only happened once before in Delhi in 2006 as part of
the Linux Asia conference

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Archive:FUDCon:FUDConDelhi2006

Over the years, FUDCon has transitioned from a simple conference like
the one in 2006 with a list of talks to a international event with three
things:

 * A barcamp-style conference
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_barcamp)
 * A hackfest (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_hackfest)
 * A FUDPub social evening (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDPub)

Each year, the regional ambassadors and contributors in a particular
region can put together a proposal and bid for the venue to selected
according to the process outlined at

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_bid_process

This year, we put up a proposal and had a competing bid from China and
we have won the bidding process based on the more mature community here
in India that we have grown over the years as well as the detailed
proposal we put together in a short period. There have been many many
people who have shown interest in participating and put up their names
as participants and several others who have helped me with this proposal
(names in the event wiki above) and I wanted to thank everyone for that.
 In particular, Shreyank Gupta for helping out with COEP contact, Amit
Shah for the detailed budget estimates and discussions,  Satya
Komaragiri for the travel information etc and Narayan Murty for agreeing
to help with the logistics.  Special thanks to COEP itself for agreeing
to host the conference.

The venue dates are on 4th to 6th of November,  Friday,  Saturday and
Sunday and we are planning on talks for Friday and Saturday with several
parallel tracks and a hackfest on Sunday, ending with the FUDPub to wrap
up the event and have some fun!

As of now,  we have 97 people pre-registered to attend the event,  36
talks and 14 hackfests and we expect the numbers to increase quite a bit
as we get closer to the event.

Thank you for your interest,

Rahul
