ABOUT DEMO HALL

The National Conference on Open Source Software, NCOSS-09, announces DEMO HALL for showcasing open source applications. The aim is to provide a platform for people to demonstrate their open source works/tools to the world. Irrespective of whether you have a paper at the conference, you can use this opportunity to showcase your work. The application, to be demonstrated, should be an open source application - i.e., an application which is open source, not just built using/on open source technologies. The application may be new systems or significant enhancements to existing open source applications. Adapting and adopting a collection of open source systems to solve a problem will also be considered. With lower priority, we will also consider existing applications with which you have extensive experience that you can share with the audience. So, if you find, say Moodle, an excellent learning management system and you have used it extensively, you could offer to demonstrate it, to spread awareness of such applications. All those participating in the demo-hall must register for the conference. The demo hall will have demonstrations slotted for half an hour each. The demo-hall will run in parallel with the conference paper presentation, excluding the plenary sessions. The slot allocations will be done by the conference organisers, considering the topic of the demo and other parallel events likely at that time. If you are interested in participating, mail your applications to ncoss@... giving a brief description of the demo sessions. Last date for submitting your 'Demo Hall' entries: May 05, 2009. According to its relevance to the conference and other constraints, we will short-list entries from received applications. The list of demo-hall entries will be announced periodically, adding new entries subject to availability of slots. So apply early...

The movement of Software Freedom started with the establishment of 'The Free Software Foundation (FSF)' in 1984 by MIT hacker Richard M. Stallman. The FSF advocates the software user's freedom to study and modify any program as well as redistribute its original or modified copies. FSF focuses on a completely free software system from kernel to applications and it rejects any component of the system which is non-free.  FSF released the 'GNU General Public License (GPL)' for the users of 'free software'. As a UNIX like OS, GNU/Linux distributions and the freedom of open source provide an excellent academic and research opportunity. Each application is available in source form and the author as well as the user community can be contacted online.  

'GNU/Linux User Group(GLUG) - Meerut' is a GNU/Linux software user's platform to meet, discuss and innovate with other users and developers. GLUG-Meerut is the first gnu.org registered GLUG of entire UP and only the nineteenth one in India. We have helped establish the standard GNU/Linux software as part of engineering curricula in CS & IT. We also help FM Radio station at IIMT Meerut to migrate from properietary software to public domain software 'AUDACITY' released under the 'GNU General Public License (GPL)'.   
  
Now, the efforts of GLUG-Meerut have been appreciated by Dr. Richard Stallman (the founder of 'Software Freedom Movement' from MIT, USA) as "Happy Hacking and thanks for defending the freedom in Meerut" at JNU, New Delhi on 21-12-2008. GLUG-Meerut has invited Dr. Stallman for a visit to Meerut - "The City of Freedom" - the city of 1857 war of Indian Independence which laid the seeds of the rising Indian self reliance culminating into modern Indian nation.

GLUG-Meerut community welcomes all GNU/Linux enthusiasts of Meerut and beyond. We intend to organize various workshops, seminars and conferences for proliferation of GNU/Linux philosophy of software freedom all over the western UP region and beyond. Anyone can freely join GLUG-Meerut on 'groups.google.com/group/glug-meerut'.

NCOSS - 2009 is being conceived of as a forum to bring together the
various groups working on developing Open Source Applications
catering to specific domains in the ICT world, including education,
health, accessibility, localisation, e-commerce, disaster
management, expert systems, machine learning, etc. A number of high
quality software solutions are available in many of these areas, for
example, SugarCRM, Koha, Drupal, Moodle, Sahana, CollabCAD, etc.
Work on these systems require a combination of domain knowledge and
development expertise. Much of the public awareness in open source
is focussed on desktop, operating system and general productivity
tools. With this background, NCOSS-09 has chosen to focus on the
layer above this, bringing together groups working on various
application domains.

The conference will present experiences in deploying FOSS
applications, comparative studies among competing software
solutions, efforts in adapting and localising FOSS applications,
development of new applications, etc. The conference will consist of
the following:
Invited talks by experts from India and abroad
Presentation of contributed papers selected based on refereeing by a
panel of referees
Exhibition by industry and academia
Pre conference Tutorials (on May 24th )

With warm regards,

NCOSS team

in nfs server we see a option "subtree" and "no_subtree"
what are these options what's the use
can anybody explain about this with an example

i did configure NIS server on one computer
and exports users " user1,user2,user3" home directory.
from client side by automounter file i was trying to mount /home/user1
on /home/network/user1
but after mounting it was giving the error no such home directory
and using / as a home directory.
what was the cause .
any solution.

if suppose we have to configure the sendmail such as every user
receive his mail in his home directory and a copy of every mail should
be sent to root account.
how can we solve this problem

There are total six columns.
LABEL=/      /                      ext3    defaults        1 1

LABEL=/boot  /boot                  ext3    defaults        1 2

Column 1= Device name
Column 2= Mount Point
Column 3= File System type
Column 4= Options
Column 5= Defines dump
Column 6= Defines fsck program.

0=Skip, 1=First, 2=Second AIUI no other values are used.

Values of 5th column is used by dump, which can be used by debugging
programs.

Values of sixth field is used by fsck program to determine the file
system check at reboot time. For the entry of 0 fsck bypasses the file
system check.

root file system should be prioritized with numeric value 1, while
other file systems should have 2.

in the file /etc/fstab at the last 2 coloumn we see the values like
0,0 1,2
what are these values what does it mean.

It is not necessary to configure a dhcp for network installation of linux.

1)service portmap start
2)service nfs start

if you want to allow root to perform rw on nfs then use
(no_root_squash,rw,sync)

1). are you able to ping nfs server (to-from)?
2). check /etc/hosts file.
3). check firewall
4). check SELinux.

if that didn't worked, send.
a) your hosts file
b) logs of the duration when you restart your nfs service from
terminal. (/var/log/messages)
c) logs when you try to mount nfs share on client. (/var/log/messages)

Premchand,

Firstly when u narrate a prob. please write each specific point which
u understand from the prob n secondly try to copy the logs n the exact
error which is printed that will be of great help.....
U hve started the iptables and blocked the nfs port thats why you r
facing this kind of prob. and secondly u hven't set the Boolean or
rite context due to which u r facing this prob ok.. firstly set the
correct SELINUX index over the shared folder and check for the boolean
value of the shared location. Now for iptables check wether u hve
allowed the port used by nfs to allow and accept the traffic.When u
leave the default options for the iptables during installation then
there wud b no prob regarding this.

i was told in my previous post"use of iptables in the exam" that u are
not allowed to use iptables in the exam.
i faced another confusion with nfs server that is
i configured the nfs server on one computer and try to mount the shared
folder from client i got the responce that no route to host.
when i use iptables to allow the connections the mounting succeed.
another try is that i disable the selinux then also mounting succeed.
but we not allowed to disable the selinux in the exam.
so from the exam perspective if question is asked to configure the nfs
server what should we do.

i configured nfs and dhcp server to install the red hat in another
computer via nfs installation
when i tried to mount the directory from another computer it
says "directory could not be mounted"
one more curious thing is happening is that
after configuring the nfs server on my computer when i restart the
portmap and nfs service on graphical interface it start perfactly
but when i tried to do same thing on virtual console it shows error
"RPC: failed to connect portmap (error -5)".
in my configuration step i did these steps
1- in /etc/exports
/var/ftp/pub       192.168.0.0/24(rw,sync)
after that i start the service
and did this exportfs -av
rpcinfo -p was also showing all ports where the daemons were running
----------------
one more thing is that
when i shut down my pc
it shows the same error
"RPC: failed to connect portmap (error -5)".
