Good day everyone!

Nothing much to update from my python side. Still need to resume my work on the billingapp task.

mohan43u and shrini: completed dhurvangal in record 3 days. :) thank you again.

Came to office and I am not sure I can be active here. If not I will continue tomorrow. Thank you again for the motivation to make me a "reader"! :)

Have a great day everyone!

thats nice sethu_irccloud

hope you will be still in the blues of the book

sethu_payilagam: nice. hope you will send email to author 😀

yes, write a blog and send email to author quickly

dont delay on writing

we can not bring the same feeling of today, if we write few days later

:) yes mohan43u. You are correct. I will do it today. Worst case I will start a voice recording before I forget and I will put it down in writings later.

sethu_payilagam: I hope you now know how to learn any commands in linux and how to learn anything through linux

Yes shrini. After completing the book I was like "what will I be doing from tomorrow?" "Where will I search and hear about those wonderful characters?"

Yes mohan43u. Infact I read 50% of the book sitting next to my Linux machine so I was able to check the commands he mentioned :)

Amazed to what extent the lead character used his Linux proficiency during the hacking and the sound system setup towards the end. If that character is real I want to go meet him.. 😀

sethu_payilagam: >>I read 50% of the book sitting next to my Linux machine<< thats is exactly the way to read that book, do the commands the book mention and learn it through our linux machine. Great that you did exactly how the author envisoned.

:)

Apologies to everyone else in the group for bypassing and the flooding message which is not related to any programming. I know I spoke a lot in the past 3 days. Hope you all don't mind!

sethu_payilagam: >>the sound system setup towards the end<< the way Hero broadcast AAR's pongal music to those big screens and sound systems using his mobile is one of the highlight in that book.

sethu_irccloud: this is what we need here. IRC is not only for tech

it is to meet people and share what we have

I still hear the loud music on the marriage event and the see the hollywood style password cracking moments

IRC was used there too

shrini: IRC is still the home for hackers 😀 xkcd.com/1782

:)

I have created a separate playlist of all the songs that is mentioned in the book.. especially stunned to know about the song from Kadhalan(indirayo..). I am not sure how many of us are aware of that fact. Atleast I wasn't aware before I read.

The list goes on and on and on.. so let me put all in a writing soon.

sethu_payilagam: 90's ARR was a god just like 80's Raja sir.

Very true..

About the lyricist of that song mohan43u.. I thought it was vairamuthu till date.

sethu_payilagam: yeah, lot of us come to know about the lyricist of that song just like you.

sethu_payilagam: share the playlist with us

Sure mohan43u.

Hi everyone.

sethu_irccloud: You and Mohan are immersed in the novel, I think

mohan43u: and shrini are seniors in that college. I am just in the first year first semester ;) I hope you will also join us in the journey sugi.

sethu_irccloud: :) I won't take that book right now, I could feel that its very good from you people's words

sethu_irccloud: My habit is if I take any book I will not put it down till I complete, my world become that book. Right now so many pending portions to read in course.

sethu_irccloud: Really I wish to when I am hearing these kind of words.

Ok :) but to let you know. I am not a seasoned reader and if I could complete it in 3 days.. you will be able to complete it no time. But still, we will wait for your feedback.. someday down the line..

sethu_irccloud: yes sure

hi sugi

Hi Shrini

shrini-weechat: yes receiving mails whoever send

mahii joined recently here

asked him to join the mailing lists

shrini-weechat: you please tell Shrini, but if its from java like that it will be more useful I think

hope you all are reading the ODOC mails too

you can give a talk on java too

you decide the topic

I dont know java

pick some topic on java and give a talk on tht

shrini-weechat: You will learn in one day (java)

shrini-weechat: let me discuss with Muthu Sir and will send email

dont ask him

you think and send mail

it is a good practise to work by self

then only you can go long path

shrini-weechat: But Shrini, he could help in selecting the topic which can be useful for all

no no

all topics are useful

Hii

as a developer, should do your search

think like a developer

you are not a beginner

I've subscribe the mailing lists

nice mahii

thanks

sugi: you think on some topic and share here

it can be anything on java or FOSS

shrini-weechat: :-)

shrini-weechat: whether is it for one day session or series? If series I could start from OOPs topic

your choise

Shrini, anybody spoke about OOPs or java before?

dont worry about the history

kanchilug is there from 20 Nov 2006

all the topics might be discussed already

dont worry about the previous talks

your talk will be new with all new audience

OK Shrini, let me take partial OOPs - if time not permits let me continue for next sunday

make it as a series

OK Shrini, but in between if I have personal commitments, can I take a break that week?

its okey if you are not available

OK Shrini. I will do.

Thanks Shrini for all.

sugi: all our actions planned here are volunteer tasks only

do on your own pace

always balance the personal works and the FOSS contributions

As you only know your priorities, plan them well

Feel free to reject the tasks asked here

reject or postpone

always plan for peaceful execution of the activities

OK Shrini. Thanks a lot lot lot.

Let me connect tomorrow Shrini. Thanks.

sure. thanks.

mahii: share your updates

any blog?

annamalai: any updates?

I've installed Ubuntu try to learn

mahii: thats good

full install or dual boot?

write your installallation story as a blog

write your daily learning notes/progress as blog and sahre here daily

that will help a lot

Dual boot

I'll start a blog and I'll try to share my updates

shrini-weechat: :-)

good to know that you managed to have a working dual boot on first try itelf

most of the time spent on TLC forum with solving dual boot issues, that too remotely via QA

hope we should promote native install to save all ours time

mahii: hope you can do all the acitvities with linux itself

note down the urge to boot into windows

and share here the reasons

so that we can realise the needs of a new user

stay with linux

start learning the commands

the command line is the treasure island

shrini-weechat: nope. I did mailed beej more than a week back but no response from him. Maybe I can send a remainder mail/ ping him else where

install weechat and join to this IRC chat using weechat

annamalai: ok

annamalai: can you share some details on what the mail is about?

there are many people reading the chat logs daily

giving more details will them to understand whats going on

like I said him that a tamil translation of gdb guide was done based on the project idea from kaniyam foundation which he can view through the github link and said i have hopes that he would welcome this initiative

super

what is the license of the original content?

some mod on cc 3.0, it has been updated now in the github same as of original as beej mentioned

based on suggestions from mohan43u and goldayan

CC licensed content can be translated unless there is no clause of " no derivatives"

still good to inform the author about the efforts

if you wish, will give author access to kaniyam.com so that you can publish there directly

as a multi part series

you can start new series or individual articles too

it licensed with ND but with a specific exception to translation. he hasn't mentioned it on the gdb webpage but it does host a Russian translation and he has mentioned it for all other guides.

i can but I feel it would be better if he acknowledges this and then we start posting it as a mini series and also i have my exams now so..

annamalai: he might not have time to read your mail. Don't worry about his permission, since you changed your derivative work's license to follow the rules of the original license, then you can publish as you wish

mohan43u hmm ok, then it would be fine for me.

send him a reminder mail though

yeah sure.
