in a few mins i'll be updating the India tracking page, you can see
how many obvious duplicate requests are there
I know there are many more (sent within same few mins from similar
address and like) but havnt marked them .

I have just started and the next two are duplicate too... (all first 4)
# 2008-7-3: INDIA - Mithilesh (F9 x86 DVD)
# 2008-7-3: INDIA - Meghana Pawar (F9 x86 Live)

regarding this from everyone..

Yes .. Please do, I think we need to be a little more strict in
stopping duplicate requests... count is increasing every month and
which means more work in sorting them out..
I am putting a notice regarding this on the tracking page

Siddharth
Does the subscription to this list send a welcome mail ? If yes, can a
link about how to join #fedora-india on Freenode be added to the message ?
If the list doesn't send a welcome message now, can it be configured to
do so ?

Refer to the page put up by mether at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon/FUDConIndia2008
Here's an attempt to collate the dominant thoughts on this thread so far
and, come up with a list of stuff that we could attempt to do.
This isn't a complete list and the items are indicative.
For a significant number of the items, we need to prep up the audience
well before foss.in with sessions on IRC and we need to come up with a
plan for that too.
Underlying theme: increase the quality and quantity of contributions to
the Fedora project by pitching FUDCon(a)foss.in as a barcamp style
hackfest rather than talkathons.
Intended audience: Existing contributors to the Fedora Project,
potential contributors to the Fedora Project, users of Fedora and any
other person who walks into FUDCon(a)foss.in
ThingsToHappen: A list of stuff we can do if we put our minds to it. The
list should be a clear and concise answer to the question "I am at
FUDCon now what ?" Below is a summary of what has been discussed. These
are just topics, there are no names attached yet. Additionally, we
haven't talked about which developers would like to attend from outside
of India.
TheList:
+ CLA Stations: recruitment as Fedora Ambassadors to be followed up with
sessions on what Ambassadors can expect, and what is expected out of them
+ LiveUSB Stations: this is mandatory. Bring your own USB and get a
LiveMedia installed. Can take this further to compose custom spins too,
but that is open to discussion.
+ Packaging: this is mandatory. Hands-on sessions around packaging
applications from the 'wish list' and guiding potential packagers about
what to do. Can (and should) be extended to packaging Java applications
for Fedora. Need to figure how to involve ISVs into the game as well.
mether has mentioned the Decorative Fonts packaging as a live example.
+ Debugging using Systemtap: with Systemtap being a GSoC entry this
year, we need to plan a session to push more scripts into the War
Stories. Very hands-on and immediate pushes into upstream wiki.
+ Desktop Test Cases: Testopia provides a good base to start building up
a repository of desktop test cases. Coupled with 'special Spins' this
can help in the item below. Hands-on and continuous session.
+ Fedora Desktop QA: Cooking up test cases and using ones from above
towards coming up addition to the QA process and team.
+ The KDE Desktop and Fedora: Testing and other related things. <PARTIAL
FIXME>
+ Bug Triage: <FIXME>
+ Merge Review: <FIXME>
+ K12LTSP: <FIXME>
+ Spin Doctor: Session on spinning your own Fedora
+ L10n + i18n Sprint: QA and hands-on sessions on getting started with these

Hello list,
Some of us are usually online at #fedora-india channel on server:
irc.freenode.net
(Freenode.net)
IRC is chat like (yahoo messenger, jabber, gmail quick chat etc).
You may use many clients to connect to server.
1. irssi -- command line client etc
2. gnome xchat -- Gnome GUI based client etc
3. browser -- http://mibbit.com/ , or chatzilla plugin
and this list is too small ;-)
Different clients have different ways for using e.g
for http://mibbit.com/ choose server, nick and channel and join. ;-)
You may or rather should register your nicks using instructions at
http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup
This is not essential for chatting but is advised :)
For details:
http://irchelp.org/irchelp/new2irc.htmlhttp://freenode.net/faq.shtml
Thanks.

Regards,
Rakesh Pandit
Welcome.
If IRC is an option for you, do join #fedora-india on Freenode.

Hi,
Foss.in and Geodesic would be sponsoring a KDE Hackathon [
