pyexiv2 is the python extension of Exiv2 library. It helps to find the EXIF information from an image.
The current rawhide version is broken, it just can not be imported.

Tried to find what that symbol is using c++filt
[kdas@d80 ~]$ c++filt _ZNK5Exiv29Exifdatum6typeIdEv Exiv2::Exifdatum::typeId() constNow is this a very new pyexiv2 which contains symbols from latest exiv2-lib or a problem itself ? The bug is here.
Update: It seems to be a local symbol. It comes from exiv2-lib only , but it shows as local with “notype” from the eu-readelf output :(
Used preupgrade for the first time, took most of the packages from mether. Everything seems to be working fine for now.
From today morning my Dell Latitude D630 is not booting. Called service center , the guy asked me to press different kind of key combos for troubleshoot. Then he asaked me to open the keyboard which is a real bad idea as I can damage the system. After a big argument on this finally they agreed to send an engineer with required parts.
Asking a user to work/open the hardware is not at all a good practice, don’t know why they keep asking the same.
Meanwhile view this (less than 1MB), I hope that code is safe in my broken box :)
This Sunday I went to OLPC Pune meet to give a talk on activity development. The students seem be very enthusiastic. The talk lasted for around 2 hours. Photos can be found here.
On the other side, I was looking for a photo catalogue software which can catalogue my photos on DVD or any other removable media, it should also allow me to search them based on EXIF data and tags and should show thumbnail(s) in the result. I generally use digikam and gthumb too manage and view the photos. In digikam I never being properly able to catalogue photos on DVD (never tried on the last few updates) and gthumb is too slow in showing the thumbnail or full screen views for the large size photos I take. I prefer gthumb over over digikam to view the photos due to the simpler UI.
Finally decided to write my own app for this, which will not have any editing features, Gimp is the tool I use for editing. Watch this video (3.2MB) and please comment if the thumbnail creation / viewing is fast or not ?
Dear lazyweb,
How one can start learning PyKDE ? For PyQt , reading a few very basic examples given with the source and then reading Qt-help docs seems to be fine. But the KDE libs are much bigger, though one can find a suitable class to work with, how to use that is still not so easy for a newbie.
When it comes to the GUI, it is again not clear to me that which approach one should take , design everything in code ? or one can use qt-designer for that.

You can find the wiki page here. This year we want to make groups such that there are two students in a group and make them work on any upstream project or a new project. They should start the work of finding the project ideas within first two weeks of the program. Comments/suggestions are welcome.
We have added a few buzz words in the poster to attract students. Generally students prefer to go to different small institutions to do summer project where most of the times they pay a good amount to get a certificate. Trying to change the situation slowly.
Thanks to Nicu for the poster.
Happy Holi to everyone. I played holi after 5 years this time.
