Ikiwiki at Debian-IN

Magnet May 21st, 2007

* As Jaldhar announced at Debian-IN mailing list, Ikiwiki has been setup (obvious, by him only!) on Debian-IN Page. Still some minor issue need to be solved (Unfortunately, I know only very basic of perl!). You can login with your Alioth username and can change relevant things there.

Today, I updated aspell-bn,or,pa,ta,te packages (upload due), And made it Lintian-Free for Debian-IN Packages :) (And yes, Thanks to Soumyadip)

Fontypython: Now fonts are easy to manage!

Magnet May 14th, 2007

* With fontypython (Which is unstable now), you can play with any fonts without actually installing it to system (who needs fc-cache now?). Here is simple method to use it. Thanks Daniel for upload and Donn C. Ingle for writing this simple but useful program.

LUGA Meet 0

Magnet April 24th, 2007

* Finally, we did it!

List of people who attended meet:
1. Hardik Dalwadi (DeepRoot Linux)
2. Kartik Mistry (Magnet, Utkarsh)
3. Isaac Praveen (DeepRoot Linux)

We met at CCD near LD College of Engineering around 7 PM yesterday. It was surprise that only 3 people actually turned up at meet (I though of atleast 6/7 people). But, since this was Meeting Zero, Never mind!

We discussed lots of things from Debian Etch release to DeepRootLinux. Hardik showed fancy Beryl and Deepofix working. I handed over Debian Etch Multiarch CD, We tried to install it over VMware but couldn’t get it working :(

We also talked about attending some next cool events and involving student in LUGA. For any LUG, it is vital to have student base. Well, we had nice coffee too (Thanks to Hardik/Abhas Abhinav for sponsoring it!)

And yes, we had nice BSOD when Hardik tried to show me Windows XP Embedded! I took chance to get its video too!!
