Hello All
Just wanted to update you all about the next OSScamp Delhi September 2009. OSScamp Delhi has been scheduled for September 5-6, 2009. The venue is NSIT, Dwarka.
What are OSScamps?
OSScamps are community-driven events where technology enthusiasts come together to celebrate technology. Its a two-day action packed event with loads of open source karma. Being an unconference means that it i snot as formal and boring as a conference, yet higher in knowledge richness. We already have anout 50 registerations. We are expecting over 300 people to turn up at the camp. The registered talks as of now are:
- Programming OpenOffice.org
- Game Development with Open Source
- Go Green – Save Power
- Customization of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) using open source technology
- Porting Softwares to OpenSolaris
- Working with MVC framework PHP & Ruby
- A generic approach to Blender 3D
- Social Network (Open Source)
- Getting Started with Scala
- many more to come, keep watching

The biggest handicap about using Firefox 3.5 right now is the lack of availability of some of our most loved addons.Yes they are being migrated to 3.5 fast, but yet why wait for them, when you can use them right away? Yup! With a little hack, you can fool your Firefox to believe that the addon is applicable to the version 3.5. However, this might lead to some performance issues. Ok, so let’s start. I am using one of my most used addon as an example – YSlow (You can also check our recommended list of addons for Developers).YSlow is a wonderful addon for your webpage optimisation and I sorely miss it in 3.5 as its not migrated yet.

July 1st saw the release of Firefox 3.5. You must already be aware of what is new is version 3.5 and what makes it the awesome-est browser to-date, if not check this Firefox 3.5 preview video and the feature list for Firefox 3.5. In this post we are going to walk you through installing Firefox 3.5 in Linux (no installers for Linux). We’ll be doing it on Ubuntu 9.04, but it will work the same way on other Linux distributions too. Step 1 is to download Firefox 3.5 tarball from the Firefox site. Extract the Firefox 3.5 files from this tar ball and move them to an application directory of your choice. Anything like /home/user/apps/firefox35 (we will use this path as example in this post) or /usr/apps/firefox35 would work fine…

Have you ever had one of those moments when you desperately need an answer but don’t know who to ask? Or that all those you could think of asking have no clue, but you do need an answer? Well, Aardvark is meant for you? Aardvark provides you with a platform to have realtime conversations with friends around topics that you have questions about. This can be way much more efficient and helpful than searching the net. Aardvark uses the latent knowledge people have, which cannot be caputred on a web page. All of this, without downloads. Just email Aardvark or send it an IM, and help is on its way.

This post is a quick note about one of my favorite sites – ManyBooks.Net. ManyBooks is an archive of a number of Project Guttenberg, Public Domain and Creative Commons etexts. What it thus becomes is a library of classic literature and text (starting from Vigil and Herodotus, to the contemporary) on and around culture, literature and the humanities.You will find many a number of historical and cultural classics here. All cahced on the Amazon S3 and rendered into a number of formats as per your request. There are 24,144 eBooks available here in about 59 categories, all for free.
