The Bad Thing (TM) of mixing up one group & another group's event

Posted: 2007/04/10 09:23:35

It is really bad when people mix up with two entire different groups, or call one group’s event by another group’s name.

I am the coordinator of Linux User group of Durgapur (dgplug). We started this group few years back with the intention of keeping it open for all. We do not work for any college, though most of the LUG members are from Dr. B. C. Roy Engineering College and we had our meetings there only.

There is another LUG in Durgapur for the students of NIT Durgapur. That LUG is a internal group of NIT Durgapur students. Now suddenly one guy from that college, in his SoC application wrote that their annual linux based event MUKTI (which is again not a community based event) is organised by Linux User group of Durgapur, and Linux User Group of Durgapur is formed by NIT students.

I made a reply to that application saying that we, “Linux User Group of Durgapur”, is entirely different body and has no association with MUKTI of NIT Durgapur. We don’t conduct any closed event. We exist and work for the FOSS movement only. As our group members are working so hard for the Bijra project , it is not going to happen that someone else will show up from from no-where and claiming our work as their.

A same kind of situation is happening for the ILUG-CAL also. Some (don’t know how much stable) people suddenly came out with a site started claiming that they are ILUG-CAL. I started working with the ILUG-CAL members from the beginning of my FOSS life. Now those idiots are simply trying to steal the identity, respect of ILUG-CAL. ILUG-CAL is always open for everyone and will be. But if someone want to takeover the whole movement with some false identity , we are not going to sit & relax at home………

Kalzium tutorial

Posted: 2007/04/06 09:19:35

After two days of work , Kalzium tutorial in Bengali is ready. You can download it from here. Yesterday night, I gave more than 25 takes on this, either sound is not coming properly, or some problem in mixing. I need a good app which can help me in the process of dubbing the tutorials. The video is in ogg theora format, audio can I get in any format. Can anyone please point me to some good app?

Recordmydesktop is rocking as far as the video is concerned, but the sound mixing is not working properly.

KBruch tutorial

Posted: 2007/04/03 09:44:46

Writing is always a difficult task for me. So, after I learned about Podcasting from Kiruba , thought of giving it a try. My last post was that test only Now another test, a tutorial of KBruch using screencasting with my bengali voice. Failed few times to speak proper bengali, but that problem will go out in the coming ones.The result on youtube.

You can also download it from here (ogg) or check it in google video.

Many people laughed on my first test, they will on this also. But I don’t have any problem, you guys should have some moments to laugh in your busy life.
