Thanks to all those who attended yesterday's Meet'n'Greet Session. We had a
great turnout, with a total of fourteen persons in attendance. These were:
Falina Baksh, Nissan Dookeran, Rellon Lawrence, Sean Roebuck, Blayne Farinha,
Jeremy Teemul, Lawrence Sinanan, Ray Dookie, Andre Corbie, Orlando Smith,
William Cooper and myself, together with Adesh and Tamara.

I'd also like to acknowledge those who contributed to making the event a
success: Falina (who bore the cost of downloading and burning Knoppix CDs),
Nissan (for sponsoring two pitchers of beer, demoing OpenSuse and providing
updates to his blog) and William, who donated $100.00 towards the final bill.
The PDF handout I created to accompany the CD shall be uploaded to the wiki
page.

Thanks again for making the event a success. Thoughts and suggestions for
improving the event are welcome.




Regards,

Vasudev.

                   The Trinidad and Tobago Linux Users Group shall be having a
"Meet'n'Greet" session on Thursday 15th October 2009 at J. Malone's Irish Pub in
MovieTowne.



Date: Thursday 15th October 2009



Time: 6:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M.



Venue: J. Malone's in MovieTowne



Come let's kick back in a relaxing environment as we network and blah about
Linux, computing and everything.



This month, attendees shall receive a FREE copy of the latest version of the
Knoppix live CD distro. Due to the limited number of CDs available, the CDs

Additional copies are available at TT$50.00 per CD.



As is customary, attendees are expected to pick up their own tab (unless someone

Kudos as well to Vas, who continues to drive this TTLUG event every month
(at his own cost outside of other donations given and in his own time
outside of work I might add). I encourage everyone to join us at this
monthly event if not to meet some new people and talk about some interesting
topics of your choosing, then to simply show your support for unselfish
effort made by folks in organising the event.

Hi All, just to let everyone know I have upgraded the ttlug.org
website to the latest stable version of Drupal (6.14). All the modules
have also been upgraded to the latest stable version.

Just a reminder, if you write a personal blog and you have linux
related articles you can use the following page to send in the
absolute URL for the linux tagged articles, and I'll include it in the
TTLUG Planet.

As a follow up to this thread, the lead engineer for (and original designer
of)
ZFS said this on the public ZFS discussion mailing list RE: Apple removing
ZFS
from MacOS X:

=== START ===

> Apple can currently just take the ZFS CDDL code and incorporate it
> (like they did with DTrace), but it may be that they wanted a "private
> license" from Sun (with appropriate technical support and
> indemnification), and the two entities couldn't come to mutually
> agreeable terms.

I cannot disclose details, but that is the essence of it.

Hi guys, I'm sure this has been considered before, but I haven't seen it put
into practice effectively, if at all..

Businesses and home users purchase hardware/software with much consideration
given to after-sales support. That's why Dell invests in their support
infrastructure and Microsoft ensures people like us get trained on their
software to support their customers. Microsoft also advertises lists of their
certified partners to point customers in the right direction.

How about the TTLUG copying that model to some extent, where local Linux
professionals can be listed on the TTLUG's website to give some measure of
reassurance to businesses who wish utilise Linux but don't really know where to
start? Issues like listing requirements e.g. formal certification, proof of
experience, client reviews etc. should be considered as well. Another place to
take ideas from is Crossloop.com (helps people connect with computer experts).

I think this is a good way of helping more people get over the fear of something
simple going wrong with their Linux system and not being able to find anyone who
can help. It's a fear I have too, even though I know some of you Linux pros
personally.

What do you think?

Regards,
Brendon

Sadly, some of us have been working in IT for years without even a
certificate that says we are qualified to use MS Office.
We call ourselves figure-outerers, not Linux Professionals.

This is a good idea....and the good thing about the TTLUG's website is that
anyone can go on and update the website. So feel free to do so...

maybe start off by creating a page, give it an appropriate title. It should
show up on the homepage right after that.

Good suggestion Shivan.  Referring to your previous, what have you SEO'd
the TTLUG website for?  Have I phrased my question correctly?

Yup......this has been discussed and considered years before....maybe
it's time to re-open the discussion...

From the proposal Certification would just be one aspect. Others like
experience and client reviews will apply to you Stephen, no worries.

Its like learning Java or PHP, what's the point? The syntax does not look as
simple as python or ruby.

I wouldn't worry too much about syntax. Syntax is something you get
accustomed to eventually. I would focus on the features provided.

from http://golang.org/doc/go_faq.html#What_is_the_purpose_of_the_project
"

    - It is possible to compile a large Go program in a few seconds on a
    single computer.
    - Go provides a model for software construction that makes dependency
    analysis easy and avoids much of the overhead of C-style include files and
    libraries.
    - Go's type system has no hierarchy, so no time is spent defining the
    relationships between types. Also, although Go has static types the language
    attempts to make types feel lighter weight than in typical OO languages.
    - Go is fully garbage-collected and provides fundamental support for
    concurrent execution and communication.
    - By its design, Go proposes an approach for the construction of system
    software on multicore machines.

I might make the tail end of this meetup (around 7pm), but will be up for
sponsoring my usual pitcher of Carib/Stag for folks still hanging around.

  by Sarah Lacy <http://www.techcrunch.com/author/sarah-lacy/> on November

[image: holeinthewall]DELHI, INDIA–“I’ll take you! I live there!” a small
boy with a blue shirt and a perfect toothy grin said as he ran ahead of me.
His quiet friend in yellow jogged beside him smiling shyly, his jet-black
Elvis curl bobbing on his forehead. The boy in blue stopped a few yards in
front of me turned around, beaming and added in Hindi, “I know computers
quite well.”

These weren’t middle class kids on the well-trod, parent-driven Indian path
to seats at IIT. These were Delhi slum kids, whose families likely live on
less than $2 a day. And yet, for the last five years, they’ve spent several
hours of their free time every day playing games and learning English, Math
and Science on computers.

So how have they bridged the much-agonized-about digital divide without a
hand out from a chip company, computer company or wealthy philanthropist? A
for-profit Indian company called
NIIT<http://www.niit.com/Pages/DefaultINDIA.aspx>
.

It started back in 1999 when Sugata Mitra, NIIT’s chief scientist, noticed
his kid could learn how to use gadgets like a mobile phone far faster than
tech-savvy adults could. At this time, most computer “labs” in Indian
schools were one or two computers that were only to be used under the strict
supervision of a teacher. The reasoning was computers were expensive and
required training and supervision. As a result many kids only got to look at
them from afar in the classroom.

Instead Mitra wondered what would happen if he left a computer out in the
open for a group of children to discover. So he literally knocked a hole in
the office wall to the slum on the other side.  He shoved a computer in the
hole and set up a camera on a tree limb to record what happened. A
13-year-old, illiterate kid who’d never seen a computer wandered over
tentatively, and soon realized he could move the cursor by moving a finger
across the touch pad. Within four hours, a small group of kids had gathered.
They had figured out how to open Internet Explorer and were playing a game
on Disney’s Web site. “All of us were absolutely shocked watching that,”
says Abhishek Gupta who heads the program now. Some expected the kids to
break or even try to steal the computer.

A pilot project with the World Bank followed, and 22 of these “Hole in the
Wall <http://www.hole-in-the-wall.com/>” kiosks were set up around the
country from 2001 to 2005. The organization studied the results closely. The
most obvious take-away was that kids left on their own will learn computers.
The project also helped develop team-building and social skills—with 200
kids sometimes huddled around one screen. Whether the computers lead to more
general academic improvement was less clear, but in many cases it was up
measurably, Gupta says.

But interestingly when that partnership was over, NIIT didn’t take the
project down the non-profit route. It’s not because the company is adverse
to such things—it’s also opening a new high-end university that is run as a
non-profit. But there’s a unique attitude in India that believes the way to
eradicate poverty is to turn India’s scrappiest, free-market entrepreneurs
on the problem, not to increase handouts.

NIIT now sells the kiosks at between $6,000 and $20,000—depending on which
model and how many screens—to the government, who puts them mostly in
schools in India’s poorest areas. There are 500 stations in India and a
handful in 10 different African countries.

Having customers means NIIT has had to compromise on the original vision.
For instance, the government requires administrators to keep an eye on the
systems. They’re not open when an administrator isn’t there. But running the
program as a business has assured its survival and given NIIT the cash flow
to pour money into content creation so it doesn’t have to rely on the
country’s spotty Internet connections for kids to stay engaged. Gupta says
his job isn’t necessarily to be a profit center. Success is running a
break-even program that makes a social impact. But that’s still a world away
from a donor-funded program.

NIIT isn’t alone. For profit companies have made microfinance loans for
years in India. One of the most known is SKS
Microfinance<http://www.sksindia.com/>.
It was run as a non-profit in the early days, but when it was time to scale,
decided to turn into a Sequoia Capital-backed startup. “It’s important to
realize the poor have been paying three-to-four times more to the local
money lender,” says Surendra Jain, a managing director with Sequoia in
Bangalore. “There’s nothing wrong with using the same tools to scale the way
other companies scale. The question is: In your heart are you doing the
right thing?”

Even non-profits I’ve met over the last two weeks run themselves to rely on
revenues not donors. An example is LabourNet<http://www.labournet.in/aboutus>,
a company that seeks to move India’s huge informal workforce into a formal
channel*. *The company organizes phalanxes of construction crews, drivers,
cooks and retail clerks and matches them with the best employers. How does
it reach them? Word of mouth and SMS. So far 7,000 workers are in the
system.

It was started by Solomon JP. His umbrella non-profit organization,
MAYA<http://www.mayaindia.org/>
, <http://www.mayaindia.org/> has already produced one self-sustaining
company that trains poor youth in making high-value furniture. With a grant
from Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, CHF International, an international
NGO addressing urban poverty in India, is providing technical and financial
support to help LabourNet become a self-sustaining enterprise. “Being poor
isn’t about not having money, it’s a lack of capabilities,” JP says. So
LabourNet doesn’t stop at getting poor people a job, it offers access to
healthcare benefits, issues ID cards, and helps with bank accounts,
literacy, and job training too. The worker pays a small fee, and the
employer pays LabourNet a larger one in exchange for matching them up.

It’s hard work. JP has been working with the poor in Bangalore for some 15
years and says it’s like Hotel California. “I don’t recommend this path. I
can never leave. I’m trapped!” he says with a weary half-smile. (I’m not
sure what percentage of that is a joke.) But he believes he and others can
solve the problem through self-sustaining means as long as organizations
don’t sacrifice humanity in the name of efficiency.

It’s a dramatic difference from China, where most entrepreneurs are building
businesses that are aimed squarely at the top of the pyramid or the
burgeoning middle class. But since India is a democracy—and not an
authoritarian one—it doesn’t have the same social safety net of other
emerging worlds. It’s fitting that it’s trying to use a free-market economy
to solve its social ills instead— something American do-gooders could
probably learn from. After all, we’ve got our own digital divide.

One final note on NIIT’s Hole in the Wall program: It was allegedly the
inspiration for the book “Slumdog Millionaire” which spawned the movie.
“Where’s *my *Oscar?” is a favorite joke of Rajendra Pawar, the chairman and
co-founder of NIIT. I asked a lot of people working to eradicate poverty how
they felt about the movie, and most said it was neutral-to-positive for
India. It doesn’t hurt to show rich Americans how one-third of India’s 1.2
billion-person population lives, even if it was sensationalized. The
difference is none of them are banking on a one-time windfall as the answer.

Use of "unlimited potential" is deliberate and ironic, I guess.

A big thanks to everyone who attended yesterday's Meet'n'Greet Session at J.
Malone's. We again had a great turnout, with a total of nineteen persons in
attendance. These were: Falina Baksh, Adesh Ramdeen, Egbert Williams, Simeon
Prince, Munesh Beharry, Shivan Jaikaran, Roderick Smith, David McKen, Orlando
Smith, Andre Corbie, Myrie Cape, Dwain Johnson, Lawrence Sinanan, Ray Dookie,
Jeremy Teemul, William Cooper, Nissan Dookeran and myself, together with one
lass who preferred to remain anonymous.

The weather held out better this month, so there was no need to move indoors. In
addition, the Baileys girls (no relation to Richard or David) were on hand
together with their entourage, handing out samples and being immortalized by a
keen photographer from Triniscene.com.

Special thanks to Falina, who burnt copies of this month's distro, Linux Mint,
and to Shivan who was on hand to lead the discussion and answer questions about
Drupal. Thanks to all those who generously contributed towards the final bill.
Your contribution is much appreciated!

Thanks again to everyone for making the event a success. Thoughts and
suggestions for
improving the event are welcome.

Regards,
Vasudev.
