Hi Everyone,
Yesterday I had saw the BOOKLET for FUDCon and I want to share some

Firstly there is no page of Table Of Contents. There must be a page
having contents like this :
event schedule
pictograms
Places to stay at, a list of hotels, lodges
Transport
Map
Emergency contacts
Venue information
Food
Other Information
This is about table of contents. How the booklet should looks when it
will be printed
Key personal information
welcome Statement
Sponsarship Details
Table of contents
event schedule

Places to stay at, a list of hotels, lodges
Transport

Emergency contacts

Hello from Chandigarh
by Inderjeet S Sodhi
Hello Everyone,
I am Inderjeet, 36, from Chandigarh, India. I'm a freelance IT consultant and programmer serving clients in North India. Great to see India separately mentioned among the area-wise list of Fedora Act.
Hope to meet some likeminded people, contribute towards Fedora in whatever manner I can and be of some use to the cause.
BTW, can anyone lead me to Fedora freemedia request ticket list? I know I'm cross-posting, but I believe this is India-central man! I already am subscribed to freemedia list but from where to see the requests?
Best wishes
Inderjeet S Sodhi

PCI driver not writing to config space
by Giriprasad Deviprasad
Hi All,
I have a pci driver like:
define VENDOR_ID 0x1415
#define DEVICE_ID1 0xc140
#include<linux/module.h>
#include<linux/version.h>
#include<linux/kernel.h>
#include<linux/pci.h>
#include<linux/ioport.h>
#include<asm/unistd.h>
#include<linux/slab.h>
#include<linux/fs.h>
#include<asm/uaccess.h>
#include<asm/io.h>
#include<linux/kdev_t.h>
#include<asm/fcntl.h>
#include<linux/sched.h>
#include<linux/wait.h>
#include<linux/errno.h>
#include<asm/irq.h>
#include<asm/ioctl.h>
#include<linux/string.h>
#include<linux/interrupt.h>
init_module (void)
{
short int curr_device;
dev = pci_find_device (VENDOR_ID, DEVICE_ID1, NULL);
j = pci_enable_device (dev);
curr_device = 0;
printk("Init : Reading and writing Config space.........\n");
pci_read_config_word (dev, 0x02, (u16 *)&curr_device);
printk("Init : Current Device id = %x\n", (curr_device & 0x00FFFF));
curr_device = 0xc145;
pci_write_config_word (dev, 0x02, curr_device);
pci_read_config_word (dev, 0x02, (u16 *)&curr_device);
printk("Init : After writing to Config space, Current Device id = %x\n", (curr_device & 0x00FFFF));
return 0;
}
void
cleanup_module (void)
{
printk ("Closing pci \n");
}
When I insmod this driver after build, it shows:
Jul 20 15:11:03 localhost kernel: Init : Reading and writing Config space.........
Jul 20 15:11:03 localhost kernel: Init : Current Device id = c140
Jul 20 15:11:03 localhost kernel: Init : After writing to Config space, Current Device id = c140
Any clues as to why is not writing 0xc145 to the pci config space?
curr_device = 0xc145;
pci_write_config_word (dev, 0x02, curr_device);
Thanks & Regards,
D.Giriprasad

Updates on Posters
by Suchakra
We plan to roll out 2-3 variants of the poster with same content but
different theme elements (and maybe colours?). The generic version to
be used is at [1]
If you like it, I can send this one for some initial prints in Pune.
Watch the same place [2] and the ticket [3] from now on for updates
on designs of posters and banners.
Important points for budget:
Posters generally cost very less but vinyl posters cost a lot. An A3
sized colour poster on plain paper is Rs 15-20 per piece and Rs 20-25
on gloss. A 7x4 foot high quality vinyl banner was around Rs 450 the
last time I checked (maybe 2 months). The number of posters required
in COEP is around 25 and in surrounding colleges will be 35 which
makes it 60 posters for Pune. I propose that we print 4 vinyl banners
too. Keep in mind that this is all for local publicity *before event*.
Banners for directions, and other markings *during event* is separate
and will be done later.
I plan to wrap up the posters business by month end and then work on
banners and other graphics.
