GNUnify 2007: Day 1

Magnet January 27th, 2007

* I am in Font Workshop and currently learning basics of Font Technology and writing this post :) Well, event is going good and I am (We are) enjoying it! We were somewhat late so, I missed Mayank’s talk :( and then attended Priti’s talk on ‘Festival Speech Demo’. I didn’t know that priti is such good speaker! After that I went to attend Arun’s talk, he did really good job! His and Vijay’s talk was parallal, so, I missed Vijay’s OpenLazlo magic!!

Lunch was good :)

* I need to keep some money in bank! Thanks to Koki for managing trouble and I have no word for her quick action of adding money to my poor bank account :) Click here to donate me!

GNUnify ‘07

Magnet January 23rd, 2007

* Schedule is out! I will talk about my favorite “Debian Packaging”! Be there :)
* There are total 4 people from my office as GNUnify speakers! Arun and Amaya are giving their first talk, while Vijay K gave nice talk at Foss.in/2005.

A bit down

Magnet January 19th, 2007

* I wasn’t feeling good from last 3 days. Lost 2 days at work also :( But, things looks fine now.

* Good news is that LDTP package is in New queue now! Thanks to Nags for answering my all dumb questions :) and sponsor Daniel. And bad news is that I need to refine gnome-orca as ‘big chunk of its data are in usr/share’ which is not recommended situation for architecture dependent package, as it can be wastage of size and build-time for buildd. Mario suggest me to split the package in two parts: gnome-orca-comman (which will be ‘all’) and gnome-orca (’any’)!

festival-* in New!

Magnet January 9th, 2007

* Festival-* are in New! You can get them from here and here while they are making way into unstable. Test and listen the magic done by Janabharati/CDAC, Mumbai team.

* Currently busy with LDTP packaging. I am thinking to include good documentations from the web for possible LDTP-doc package. But, let me clear the license attach with it.

* GNUnify 2007 is there! If you are wondering where the website of the event hidden, here it is!

Festival-* Issue

Magnet January 8th, 2007

* I did ITP for festival-hi and festival-mr after Priti Patil of CDAC gave ‘New Year Gift’ to Indic Community! Now, suddenly, I got message in IRC when I was at work. And rest is the story. And lesson: If you releasing your software under GPL or similar license, let people do whatever they want. Obey the rules of particular community. Act quick (atleast for ITP!). And keep the good work continue!

* Thanks to Sankarshan for taking care of issue. May be We will have festival-hi and festival-mr in New queue. Cheers!

* IRC log is available here for people who want to see the issue.
