I happen to know one such man he was my mentor, Johnny Jacob (just google him) when I was trying to hack Evolution in summer vacation last year. Nearly one and a half month back he contacted me to work on Evolution again. I was very much excited to do that but I was busy…
I tried to set up an svn server on my laptop today as I have organized a hack session today to bring in more people for hacking FOSS. I have chosen opendchub for three reasons: 1. They have seen it working. And they actually use it. 2. The source code is as less as 10…

I am writing this post from IT Dept lab from where the codecracker server is running. After a lot of problems and testing we finally managed to get codecracker working in Python and it has run smoothly without any failure till now. Now only 20 minutes are left for it to end. It feels good…

To begin with Debayan started GLUG SDU (which is now totally dead) and we started to hack some softwares. First one was linuxdcpp (the linux alternate to Apexdc++).…

I have shifted to Ubuntu after using openSUSE and I must admit that I am totally impressed by Ubuntu. Its repositories are simply amazing. You can search and install almost everything that you require even linuxdcpp. Also I have seen that Ubuntu is highly documented when I was browsing through the LTSP section. Last night…
