[OT] Rootconf

Hey folks,

Just sending a note for anyone who's interested.  This is a forward of
the note we sent to the press and I thought there might be someone
interested in this event here as well.

HasGeek presents Rootconf, a conference for sysadmins and devops.
While our previous event, Meta Refresh, examined the engineering that
makes great UI possible, Rootconf looks at the back-end engineering
which makes the same websites secure and snappy regardless of the load
on them. Rootconf also looks at how these websites are hosted. We are
covering cloud and virtualization for cost-efficient hosting,
performance tuning, configuration management when you have multiple
servers, security, and monitoring.

Rootconf is open to practitioners of technology -- the people who
actually design, code and manage servers. Sessions will not only cover
how-to-do-it-yourself, but will also present insights and learnings on
how systems were built and the processes and decisions involved. The
conference features speakers from Red Hat, ThoughtWorks, Deep Root
Linux, among others. Some of the selected talks address:

* Creating and Provisioning Cloud Resources with AWS CloudFormation;
* Introduction to performance tuning in a managed environment;
* Continuous Integration with Jenkins and Hubot; and
* Automated and Adaptive Infrastructure Monitoring using Chef, Nagios
and Graphite

Details of the conference are:
Date: Saturday, 26th May, 2012

Cannot even Browse while Downloading or Updating ubuntu

While i am downloading something or upgrading ubuntu, it takes all the bandwidth and i cannot even open a webpage.
I never faced this problem in Windows.
Is it Linux Kernel's bandwidth management problem or an ubuntu-specific one?
I am using MTNL Broadband 512Kbps. New Delhi.

Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin Release Party

Hi everyone,

Ubuntu 12.04 will be released on 26th April, 2012 (Thursday).

The Release Party will be on 6th May, 2012 (Sunday) at 3:00 p.m. (The MI match will start at 4:00 p.m., so I thought we should meet up before the match. Then, people can enjoy the match too)!

The venue is Cafe Coffee Day, Inside Reliance TimeOut, Hill Road, Bandra (W), Mumbai. This is near Elco Shopping Center. I have heard that this CCD has wi-fi, in case anyone wants to try a Ubuntu install.

Registration URL: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/indian-team/1742/detail/

Best Regards,
Rigved Rakshit

[Off-Topic] Parliament - Say no to Internet Censorship

Parliament - Say no to Internet Censorship

 

The Government notified on April 13, 2011 the Information Technology (Intermediaries guidelines) Rules, 2011 prescribing guidelines to be observed by the intermediaries. The rules were issued in exercise of the powers conferred by clause (zg) of subsection (2) of section 87 read with sub-section (2) of section 79 of the Information Technology Act, 2000 (Act 21 of 2000). The provisions of the new rules are unconstitutional as they affect the right to freedom of speech and expression as well as right to privacy of citizens, are arbitrary being violative of Art. 14 of the Constitution of India and are ultra vires of the parent act. SFLC.in [1] has come out with an ebook, Legal analysis of IT(Intermediaries guidelines)Rules 2011 [2] explaining the impact of the guidelines which the government has come up with.

 

FSMK[3] with support of other organizations is planning a national level campaign against this law which will be discussed in parliament on the second half of the budget session which starts from April 24th. Hence we have chosen 21st April for the nation wide campaign against the law. Content regarding the campaign and the issue is being updated, [4].

Please let me know if the organizations that you are associated with can support us for this campaign. We are maintaining a list of all organization who are supporting us [5].

 

Also please support this campaign by sharing the link of the website[4] and also by signing the petition [6].

 

If you are in Bangalore, please join us on 5:00 pm on 21st April at Town Hall.

 

We are also looking for any creative posters/ideas related to this topic which will help us in spreading the word. Please feel free to share such content with us so that we can update it in the website.
