Hey,
I am pleased to inform that we have had an awesome response for FOSS
Workouts. The number and quality workouts which have been submitted
goes to show the kind of people and projects we would like to focus at
FOSS.IN.
A large of number of you have written in asking for a possible
extension in Talk submission deadline. Since this is a long weekend,
we are extending talk submission deadlines until Monday 00:00 Hrs IST.
Due to this delay, the first list of talks and workouts will be
announced on the 28th October.
Also, if you know someone who would make a great addition to the
speaker list, Please do forward the CFP and spread the word :-)
p.s: Another clarification, Travel for Indian speakers (within India)
will be reimbursed if requested.
Cheers,
Shreyas

FOSS.IN and Fedora
by sankarshan
:) no this isn't the mail that makes any announcement.
I was wondering if there are other folks (besides the speakers etc) who
would be attending FOSS.IN
The Fedora Project would be requiring volunteers for the LiveUSB station
and other fun stuff and a show of hands is in order.

Kobold Project
by Khushbu Mohta
Hi Everyone,
As part of the Summer Training[1] organised by Kushal Das[2] and other
Durgapur LUG[3] Team-members at IRC channel #dgplug, I along with my
colleague Prakhar Agarwal have worked on Kobold Project [4]. We were
suggested this project by Rahul Sundaram(mether).
*About Kobold:*
Kobold is minimalistic tool for automated Fedora Live CD installation on USB
stick in a sequential manner. It uses HAL and D-Bus to discover USB stick
plugging and livecd-iso-to-disk for the actual installation process.
*
Some pitfalls*:
(1) It was sequential.
(2) It could only work on a Single USB stick at a time with hassles of
plugging-in and plugging-out the USB sticks if more than one USB stick need
to be used.
(3) The USB sticks had to be plugged-in after initiating the script. The
script was not able to detect already plugged-in USB sticks.
*Our Tweaks:*
First of all, we eradicated the need to plug-in the USB sticks after
initiating the script. That is, we added the functionality of detecting
already plugged-in USB storage devices.
Secondly, the installation process is changed from sequential to parallel.
We have incorporated threading concept by using "threading" module to enable
installation process on multiple USB sticks simultaneously.
Code is available at
http://dgplug.org/training/trunk/khushbu/Kobold/kobold3.py
*Usability/Benefits*:
The Install-fests will be much more fun. Just plug-in all the USB storage
devices, run the script and you will have Fedora installed in all of them
within no time!! No need to wait for the installation process to get over
with one stick and then plug-in another.

We hope that we have been able to contribute in some way. We wish to add
this code to LiveUSB-Creator(which works on a single USB drive right now)
and for that we need your comments/feedback. Thank You!

by sankarshan
Is anyone interested in being a speaker at this ? This wasn't posted to
the fedora-india list and hence the late forward.
