Just like the last year, it was hosted at <a href="http://ucti.edu.my/">APIIT/UCTI</a>. Our initial number of registrants were 28, however only 20 attendees turned up during the day.</p> <p>The event opened doors at 10:00, and the first session started around 11:15. The first session and an introduction to FOSS Software was started by none other than Izhar Firdaus, a.k.a KageSenshi, and the topic being; "What is FOSS?". The first session was aimed at new comers to UCTI FOSS SIG so that they understand what Free &amp; Open Source Software meant, and a refresher to those who have heard about FOSS as well.</p> <p>We managed to hold 7 sessions altogether. Topics ranging from Fedora, FOSS to how/why it is important for students to adopt FOSS/Fedora. The sessions given were as follows; "What is FOSS?", "Contributing to Fedora", "Fedora Freemedia Program" - a talk and a discussion about Freemedia, "Me and Fedora", "Leap of #FAIF: Why Free Software Matters", "AppRepo: Finding Linux Apps made easy" and lastly about the discussion for our Malaysia APAC "FUDCon" bidding. For the "FUDCon" sessions, we discussed about dividing roles and what issues/things/stuffs should be solved/made before and during the FUDCon, if we were to win the bid and host FUDCon here in APIIT/UCTI, Malaysia.</p> <p>The session ended around 17:00, although some of us stayed around until 18:00 to talk about Fedora and sharing some tips &amp; tricks that some of us may have missed. And as the venue was only available until 18:00, those of us that stayed behind until 18:00 parted ways around 18:15.</p> <p>We will probably be having another FAD, this year 2012, just haven't set any date yet.

We (Ubuntu-my) are more than happy to corporate and collaborate with FOMCA to do our best to make the policy &amp; campaign success. I will bring this topic to our <a title="Ubuntu-my 1st Meetup 2012" href="https://www.facebook.com/events/244221392320974/">1st Ubuntu-my Meetup for 2012 </a></p> <p><strong>Overall objective:</strong> Increase the uptake of free, legal software for Malaysian consumers<br /> <strong>Specific objective:</strong> Create awareness among Malaysian suppliers and consumers to encourage the use of open source software which is the Ubuntu Linux instead of FreeDOS to provide a better computing experience and also reduce piracy</p> <p><strong>Activities:</strong><br /> 1. Conduct an awareness seminar/workshop on piracy issue and access to knowledge. In this session, we can introduce the Ubuntu Linux operating system and how vendors and consumers can play a role in fostering the uptake of open source software and thereby reducing piracy.<br /> 2. Collaborating with the local community to promote the use of Ubuntu Linux among consumers<br /> 3. Promoting this campaign in our existing consumer websites under FOMCA.</p> <p><strong>Impact expected:</strong><br /> Consumer to have at least an awareness of the existence of free open source software and that they do have an alternative choice and at the same time can help in reducing piracy without having any disadvantage. We aim for this campaign to get the attention of the<br /> industries as well as the government to come up with policies to encourage more open source software and move towards having more awareness session to make consumers understand and aware of their choices.</p> <p>Here i share the full post by FOMCA and draft brochure for the awareness program.</p> <a href="http://blog.myfenris.net/2012/02/03/ubuntu-my-collaboration-with-federal-of-malaysian-consumers-association-fomca/first-blog-post_final_page_1/" title="FIRST BLOG POST_FINAL_Page_1"><img width="150" height="150" src="http://blog.myfenris.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/FIRST-BLOG-POST_FINAL_Page_1-150x150.png" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="FIRST BLOG POST_FINAL_Page_1" title="FIRST BLOG POST_FINAL_Page_1" /></a> <a href="http://blog.myfenris.net/2012/02/03/ubuntu-my-collaboration-with-federal-of-malaysian-consumers-association-fomca/first-blog-post_final_page_2/" title="FIRST BLOG POST_FINAL_Page_2"><img width="150" height="150" src="http://blog.myfenris.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/FIRST-BLOG-POST_FINAL_Page_2-150x150.png" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="FIRST BLOG POST_FINAL_Page_2" title="FIRST BLOG POST_FINAL_Page_2" /></a> <a href="http://blog.myfenris.net/2012/02/03/ubuntu-my-collaboration-with-federal-of-malaysian-consumers-association-fomca/ubuntu_bm-5_page_1/" title="UBUNTU_BM 5_Page_1"><img width="150" height="150" src="http://blog.myfenris.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/UBUNTU_BM-5_Page_1-150x150.png" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="UBUNTU_BM 5_Page_1" title="UBUNTU_BM 5_Page_1" /></a> <a href="http://blog.myfenris.net/2012/02/03/ubuntu-my-collaboration-with-federal-of-malaysian-consumers-association-fomca/ubuntu_bm-5_page_2/" title="UBUNTU_BM 5_Page_2"><img width="150" height="150" src="http://blog.myfenris.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/UBUNTU_BM-5_Page_2-150x150.png" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="UBUNTU_BM 5_Page_2" title="UBUNTU_BM 5_Page_2" /></a> <a href="http://blog.myfenris.net/2012/02/03/ubuntu-my-collaboration-with-federal-of-malaysian-consumers-association-fomca/ubuntu_bm-5_page_3/" title="UBUNTU_BM 5_Page_3"><img width="150" height="150" src="http://blog.myfenris.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/UBUNTU_BM-5_Page_3-150x150.png" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="UBUNTU_BM 5_Page_3" title="UBUNTU_BM 5_Page_3" /></a> <p>I also hope that Ubuntu Community Globally &amp; FOSS Community will give us support to make this happen ! \0/ May Ubuntu will r0cking all over Malaysia &#8230;</p> Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:46:22 +0000 http://thedaneshproject.com/?p=2360 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheDaneshProjectFeed/~3/nncmzfne4eU/ <p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2361" title="Achievement Unlocked-Evil Routers" src="http://thedaneshproject.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Achievement-Unlocked-Evil-Routers-450x214.png" alt="" width="450" height="214" /></p> <p>Work in IT?

It&#8217;s slower but it works.</p> <p>Start by installing davfs2.<br /> <code># sudo yum install davfs2<br /> </code>Create your Box.net directory<br /> <code># mkdir ~/Box.net<br /> </code>Create the davfs2 config directory. It&#8217;s in your home dir so it&#8217;s not system wide.<br /> <code># mkdir ~/.davfs2<br /> </code>Disable locking. Causes issues sometimes.<br /> <code># cd ~/.davfs2<br /> # echo "use_locks 0" &gt; davfs2.conf</code><br /> Create a secret file to hold your box.net login details. Make sure to &#8220;chmod 600 the file&#8221;<br /> <code># echo "https://www.box.net/dav [you box.net login] [your box.net password]" &gt; secrets<br /> # chmod 600 secrets</code><br /> Backup and update your /etc/fstab file to include your box.net directory.<br /> <code># cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.ori<br /> # echo "https://www.box.net/dav /home/danesh/Box.net davfs rw,user,noauto 0 0" &gt;&gt; /etc/fstab</code><br /> Mount and you should be able to list ~/Box.net<br /> <code># mount ~/Box.net<br /> # ls -l ~/Box.net</code></p> <p>This is the hard way to do this. I will post a simpler method using Nautilus in a future post.</p> Similar Posts:<ul><li><a href="http://thedaneshproject.com/posts/mounting-cifs-shares/" rel="bookmark" title="August 13, 2007">Mounting CIFS shares</a></li> <li><a href="http://thedaneshproject.com/posts/cannot-allocate-memory-error/" rel="bookmark" title="January 29, 2009">cannot allocate memory error</a></li> <li><a href="http://thedaneshproject.com/posts/how-to-configure-ssl-on-tomcat-5/" rel="bookmark" title="December 20, 2007">How to configure SSL on Tomcat 5</a></li> <li><a href="http://thedaneshproject.com/posts/linux-tip-9-create-multiple-folder-or-files/" rel="bookmark" title="July 2, 2009">Linux Tip #9: Create multiple folder or files</a></li> <li><a href="http://thedaneshproject.com/posts/inspecting-the-contents-of-an-initrd-file/" rel="bookmark" title="January 29, 2007">Inspecting the contents of an initrd file.</a></li> </ul><!-- Similar Posts took 4.385 ms --> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QjdkGNEhky2vUKhplvI71EQTIAA/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QjdkGNEhky2vUKhplvI71EQTIAA/0/di" border="0" ismap="true" /></a><br /> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QjdkGNEhky2vUKhplvI71EQTIAA/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QjdkGNEhky2vUKhplvI71EQTIAA/1/di" border="0" ismap="true" /></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheDaneshProjectFeed/~4/Ep3ixml3YzY" height="1" width="1" /> Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:24:52 +0000 http://thedaneshproject.com/?p=2351 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheDaneshProjectFeed/~3/H2WZkCG5g-4/ <p>I love the new Android Roboto font family and it looks good on my Fedora 16 install.
