[Fwd: KDE auf letzebuergisch?]

by Serge Marelli

-----Forwarded Message----- From: Heiko Evermann <Heiko.Evermann(a)gmx.de> To: contact(a)linux.lu Subject: KDE auf letzebuergisch? Date: Mon, 09 Feb 2004 15:24:55 +0100 Hallo, KDE ist Euch ja sicherlich ein Begriff (www.kde.org) KDE wird schon in eine ganze Reihe von Sprachen übersetzt (siehe i18n.kde.org) Letzebuergisch ist noch nicht dabei. Hat von Euch vielleicht jemand Interesse, damit anzufangen? Ich selbst bin mit ein paar anderen Leuten dabei, KDE ins Plattdeutsche zu übersetzen. Falls Ihr Leute kennt, die mit einer letzebuergischen Übersetzung anfangen möchten, könnten wir Euch vielleicht bei den ersten Schritten behilflich sein. Herzliche Grüße, Heiko Evermann -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Serge Marelli, Luxembourg E-mail : serge.marelli(a)linux.lu ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LiLux, Luxembourg LUG : http://www.linux.lu/ Defending Innovation against Patent Inflation http://swpat.ffii.org/

[Fwd: RMS Meets with President of India]

by Serge Marelli

I don't know how many of you got it from some other mailing list, but I know some did not. > Kalam, Stallman discuss open source software > By Sandeep Dikshit > > http://www.hindu.com/2004/02/01/stories/2004020104231000.htm > > > NEW DELHI, JAN. 31. The President, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, last Thursday played > host to two radically divergent poles of the global software industry. > > The first to meet the President was Richard Stallman, the leading light of > the free and open source software (FOSS) movement. > > Ironically, the people waiting in the Presidential anteroom for the > interaction to end were people from Microsoft. > > Dr. Stallman has devoted his life to countering Microsoft's policy of > selling software that cannot be changed because its code is kept a secret. > It also cannot be shared because of licensing restrictions. > > Talking to The Hindu, Dr. Stallman said the President was "receptive'' to > his views that development of software should be seen as a political and > social issue and not just from the technological point of view. > > At a meeting that lasted 40 minutes, they discussed the need to give people > an alternative way to use computers by popularising open source software > (OSS). > > "The President said this was a beautiful concept,'' said Dr. Stallman. Mr. > Kalam had prepared for the meeting by downloading Dr. Stallman's biography > from the Internet which in keeping with the FOSS movement guru's philosophy > is available free of cost. > > The two also went over several common interests, including the use of > software in space programming. For the first time, the Mars Rovers vehicle > is using OSS and it is reported to be functioning well. > > They also reminisced on the development work on several software programmes > in which both had taken interest. > > Besides explaining the political philosophy of FOSS movement, Dr. Stallman > said he also spoke to the President about the real intention behind > Microsoft's plan to spread the use of computers in schools which was "akin > to the colonial system of recruiting the local elite to help keep others in > line.'' > > "I hope my discussion had some influence on the President and he will be > able to resist being used that way.'' > > Dr. Stallman gave up a cushy teaching job in a prestigious American > university after he perceived that "computer colonisation'' was spreading > rapidly. > > "There were only two options. Either I stopped using computers or I help > everybody to escape. I chose the latter,'' he said. > > He explained the concept behind FOSS. The word "free'' did not mean giving > the software gratis. > > Rather, it denoted the freedom to control the computer because the seller of > FOSS also provided the source code or the manner in which a particular > software was constructed. > > "This way you can see how it works, you can change it and also share the > software.'' > > By taking to FOSS, India would be able to cut down on the outflow of foreign > exchange which was going to become very large in the near future. > > So far, Microsoft licences were not being forced on individuals, but in the > coming days, proprietary software companies would make it impossible for > individuals to make copies clandestinely. > > "The flood (outflow of foreign exchange) will then become a torrent,'' he > said.

GUUG Fruehjahrsfachgespraech 2004 & Linux Magazine FR

by Eric Dondelinger

Hi, for those who might be interested: - The GUUG (German Unix User Group) organizes the "GUUG- Fruehjahrsfachgespraech 2004" in Bochum, from March 9th to March 12th. The (IMHO very interesting) agenda can be found here: http://www.guug.de/veranstaltungen/ffg2004/programm.html - In case you missed Matthieu Farcot's presentation "What about my chainsaw" at the LinuxDays 2003, the paper version has been published in the current french Linux Magazine, with very high praise in the editorial at least. I hear there are chances it will be translated and published in the english version, too. In case you want to wait a bit, it will be published later under GNU Free Documentation License. Greetings, Eric
