Fedora for kids/schools - Update
by Arun SAG
Hello,
I managed to build a live image of Fedora 15 for Fedora for kids
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraForKids. The live image uses XFCE as
primary desktop environment. It includes software like
anki,tuxtype2,tuxpaint,tuxmath,stellarium,glglobe etc.
Here are the kickstart files,

http://sagarun.fedorapeople.org/misc/fedora-schools.ks
When i tried to install the live image in a virtualized environment with
256Mb of physical memory, The installer warned of low memory
http://sagarun.fedorapeople.org/misc/640M.png , unfortunately this is an
expected behaviour
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2011-February/149109.html :(
We have two options at hand,
1. Go back and use some older version of Fedora for the remix where memory
requirements are not astronomical
2. Wait for wwooods to fix it in F16 ( I am not sure, whether the fix is
available for F16)

[Event Report] Shaastra 2011, IIT-Madras, Chennai Sep 28-Oct 2, 2011
by Shakthi Kannan
Hi,
The Shaastra team has been trying to get me to speak at their event
for many years. This year I wanted to make it, and as part of the
Hackfest at Shaastra 2011 [1], September 28 to October 2, 2011 at
IIT-Madras [2], Chennai, I had presented the talk on
"i-want-2-do-project. tell-me-wat-2-do" [3].
Most of the students were interested in participating in the Google
Summer of Code program. I was also able to meet and talk with past
Google Summer of Code students, who had already been introduced to
this presentation.
I visited the IITM Research Expo at the K V grounds on campus where
students had presented their research work. There were quite a few
interesting papers on MEMS [4]. I also attended the Paper and Poster
presentation by students at the IITM Research Park [5].
Few pictures taken at the event are available [6].
