[Only for Fedora-India] Indian Ambassador's list based on ping reply.
by susmit shannigrahi
Hi,
A few weeks back, every Indian ambassador got a mail from me
requesting reply that you are still with us.
1. First, I would like to thank you all for replying and being with Fedora.
2. Based on the replies and as per latest famsco policy[1], I have
created this list.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/India/Regions .This list
only includes people who have replied on or before 7th March.
3. *From now on, this will be the primary point of reference for
Indian Ambassadors.* For example, if we need to contact some
ambassador from West Bengal in India, we will refer to this page
instead of Ambassadors country list.
3. If you don't find your name, feel free to add it here.
4. If you are going to be busy and cannot work on Fedora for a couple
of months (or so), please remove your name from the page. This does
not affect your Ambassador membership. When you are back, please
reinsert your name.
5. This list (not the CountryList, but this manually made one) will
use a ping system to
ensure periodically that people still want to keep their name there

Thanks once again.

Follow up of talk@freed.in 09, offline-wkipedia available online..
by shantanu choudhary
Hello all,
Previously i posted about this project at ILUG-D mailing list
http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/msg23879.html, but
at that time, it had lots of dependency which made it hard(rather
impossible) to install and test and get back with feedback.
I presented this project at freed.in 09 (slides and sample are available at
http://code.google.com/p/offline-wikipedia/downloads/list) and both the time
feed back i got was exciting. It all started with idea from Stian Haklev(
http://reganmian.net/blog/), who was attempting for same, and was targeting
to get entire English wikipedia, onto a DVD, which can be distributed and
used freely. So here i am with http://92.243.5.147/offline-wiki it includes
two zipped files.
Procedure is simple enough:
- Extract both of them.
- Place the exact location of blocks/xml_block/, in
offline-wikipedia/page/class_con.py file.
- Run the server using command : $./manage.py runserver.
- Now in browser, you can access any article via opening the link:
http://localhost:8000/wiki/xyz/ (please remembering the following '/'
failing which it gives the error for URL resolving).
This is about how to make it work, now about the content of setup:
- block.tgz contains xml_blocks folder with some 20k odd files, which are
small chunks of huge XML dump provided by media-wiki (
http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/).
- offline-wikipedia.tgz has django setup, and csv files which have list
of all the articles present in XML dump.
- Some other files like segregate.py, index.py, index_file.py which i
used to create indexing, both db and csv files, i have tried to document my
steps, but still in case of confusion let me know.
- Media content, like css files, images logos i have taken from
media-wiki site itself without making changes.
Major Concern/Reaction of the audience/users (Future targets):
- How to keep it updated.
- How to make it editable.
- How to manage different categories of articles, and segregation based
on that to make refined and better education/learning tool(Rahul Sundram).
Issues that are at hand:
- From my-side, apart from following
http://users.softlab.ece.ntua.gr/~ttsiod/buildWikipediaOffline.html, i
tried to make this thing work via django, it posed new problem of writing
converter for wiki-markup-text to html, which as of now, is not perfect,
needs improvement to utilise all the content available at hand, Here i am
ready to trade off with any parser irrespective of language (python/PHP),
but it should be better the this one, PHP i avoided, as for that, it will
need Apache web server, which would be overkill.
- I am using django server, it can be replaced by simple python web
server which can handle css, other requests, as i am not using any of other
features provided by django(link MVC).
- To make accessibility of individual article fast, am breaking huge file
to small resulting in more then 20k odd files, any way we can skip that,
hint idea help would be great.
- Last years October dump was 4.1G and this March 09 dump is already 4.6G
making things more difficult.
- Adding options of going live, searching for articles, making updates
readily available.
This is all about project, till now i am in conversation with Stian and
Imran(from AU-KBC research lab) about the possible usage and options(i also
talked to rahul and rakesh and shirish at freed), but am sure, there are
lots of options, comments and suggestions among other people which can help
develop this and make it highly useful project. I would really like to get
some feed-back, response, help, guidance, so kindly reply back with valid
comments so that we can get to best conclusion and result.
This blocks.tgz file is huge, and i know it would be really difficult for
many to download it and try it, so there is sample.tar.bz2 on google code,
you can try that, I will update one more sample by tomorrow on
http://92.243.5.147/offline-wiki/, which is small enough and and at the same
time handy to check out the present condition.

PS: till now, pranav, nandeep and emmanuel were the one who tried it and got
back with feed back, comments, suggestions, hope this time i get more.

Event Report on Fedora Talk in OSI Days Chennai
by Balaji G
Hi Everyone
I am extremely thrilled and pleased to announce that my talk in OSI Days was
a real good success. The talk was quite short and I started off with
A Survey on how many in the audience have heard about Fedora and there was
quite a good number and then I started off with the following
1. What is Fedora
2. What's the Speciality of the Fedora Project
3. What role does Redhat Play in contributing to fedora.
4. What's the role I play in Fedora
5. What's the advantage in Contributing to Fedora and i asked
interested people to get my email ID offline to know more on how to
contribute
and I assured them that i could help them to get into World Of
Open Source Software through Fedora.
6. Question & answers
Then people when i got off the stage asked for my email IDs and have asked
me to give talks in LUG and lot of people had questions like
"i want to do some programming but i am not sure how do i do it in
Ubuntu " these sort of questions came up and then i took that opportunity to
tell them that i would help you do that by asking them to install fedora and
assured them that they could copy of DVD from me. Lot of students wanted to
do projects but they didn't know how to get into Fedora so i answered those
questions and have asked them to contact me through email and then i would
bring them onto the IRC channels. I have also asked them to log in to
#fedora-classroom on the April First Weekend where i would be taking IRC
sessions on kernel topics and Virtualization.
I strongly feel that this would bring in more users and contributors and I
would be giving more talks too in the future.
It was a pretty exciting day and i would be sharing some photos soon .
Thanks,
Cheers,
Balaji
