Fwd: Seeking contributors for my open source project.

Subject: Seeking contributors for my open source project.

Hi Guys,

 I am looking for some open source contributor to work on
https://github.com/pocha/**hashag <https://github.com/pocha/hashag> . Its a
pretty basic rails app with some heavy oAuth though. The version so far is
done by me & a friend Utkarsh. The readme has pretty detailed instructions
to get started.

 A quick brief about the app - its called hashAG. Basically it is suppose
to parse a user's tweet with hashtag #ag & publish it to his angellist
startup status. Angellist (angel.co) is a community developed by two
Indians in silicon valley to connect entrepreneurs with investors. Usually
lot of entrepreneurs (like me) use twitter as a channel to market their
startup. You would get detailed information on how & why here -

thread/549762aa22a89540<http://groups.google.com/group/ninjaclan/browse_thread/thread/549762aa22a89540>

 I personally need this app so be assured that this would be something that
would go into production. I believe that there are lot of small but
industry relevant stuff can be developed & I look to engage college
students for the same. I also look to create a segment on
stalkninja.comwhere people can source contributors for their open

Hello Folks, 

Just wanted to pass on some information about the formation of Chennai

members. This is a great chance to promote Linux & open source software,
and
to influence folks interested in game development to create and build
games
for Linux. There seems to be a fair bit of interest in using languages
like
python, libs like pygame, art tools like GIMP, Blender, and audio tools
like Audacity, Ardour, Rosegarden, Hydrogen. The group plans on conducting
intro-to-advanced level talks in all game development disciplines
including
design, art, sound, writing, programming, etc, design / programming / art
/
writing / sound challenges, game jams, etc. 

The group page on Facebook is at:
http://www.facebook.com/groups/chennaigip

A big thank you from FSFTN

Monday, February 6, 2012 saw history being made as a mammoth crowd came to
see and listen to Richard Stallman talk on 'Free Software, Freedom and
Education.' The event, organised by Free Software Foundation, Tamil Nadu,
part of Free Software Movement of India saw over 3000 people at the SAC
auditorium at IIT-Madras

After the event, students at IIT-M tried to remember the last time they had
seen such crowds at their institution. When A.P.J Abdul Kalam had come to
the SAC auditorium, the hall had just about been filled. On February 6, we
at FSFTN and outsiders watched in amazement as the hall was not only
overflowing but at least one big group who had come to listen to Richard
Stallman was forced to wait outside as there were not enough seats.

Students, teachers, activists and software professionals – all of them came
to listen to the RMS . And the massive cheer that greeted him when he got
on the state was a sign of things to come as the crowd enthusiastically
listened for three hours as he held forth on a variety of topics. The
greatest applause of course came when he spoke up about Facebook condemning
it as a surveillance engine. The night before the event, during an
interaction with the media in the presence of FSFTN volunteers, RMS had
powerfully spoken about the problems of using terms such as Open Source and
FOSS while referring to Free Software. On Monday too, he explained the
history of the movement and the importance of terminology, say in the case
of using GNU/Linux instead of Linux. And of course there was the hyper-cool
St. IGNUcius avatar!

But the event was also as much about the crowds and the volunteers who
managed them. People flooded in from all around the city. Some journalists
were even comparing it to political rallies. And on top of every situation
was the dedicated team of volunteers from so many colleges over the city.

About GPL Licensing on a plugin

Hi, 

I just have a question on GPL Licensing. We are planning to develop a product which will be used to control
multiple wordpress sites (Like updating, installing, posting) across multiple wordpress sites at
once. But we found that there is already a service (SaaS) doing that. They install a plugin on the required
wordpress sites and that plugin is used to do all the process. They control that plugin from their panel.
That plugin is released under GPL license (since its a wordpress plugin).

We feel we can add more improvements to that product. My question is can we use that plugin for our own SaaS
service? Would that be legally fine?

Thanks
David

remotely accessing a machine on a lan with dynamic IP

hi,

I maintain a server in a remote place. It is connected to a LAN - the
LAN is the usual poor man's LAN which uses the BSNL router as the dhcp
server. They have dynamic IP from bsnl. The machine the machine has a
fixed IP (192.168.1.123). The inward facing IP of the router is
192.168.1.1. Is it possible to ssh into this machine from outside, and
if so how?
