We, the Indian community of Moodle users, are hosting Moodle Moot India
2016 on the 6th of Feb 2016 in Delhi. Moodle is a Free and Open Source
software licensed in GNU General Public License (GPL). With over 10 years
of development guided by social constructionist pedagogy, Moodle delivers a
powerful set of learner-centric tools and collaborative learning
environments that empower both teaching and learning.
This is the first Moodle Moot to be conducted in India and we hope this
will spread awareness about Moodle and educational technology in general,
especially in regards to eLearning and will also be an excellent
opportunity to network with Moodle experts spread throughout the country.
The event will have the honor of having Mr. Martin Dougiamas (CEO and
Founder of Moodle) and Ms. Michelle Chawla as the keynote speakers and
other invited speakers from different sectors and background.
The event will help the educational stakeholders in:
* Network with the Moodle users from all over the country.
* Brainstorming with the Moodle community members about future pathway of
Moodle.
* Opportunity to discuss your Moodle future ideas with Mr. Martin Dougiamas
- Founder of Moodle
* Sharing your experience with the whole Moodle Community.
* Discussing - Challenges and advantages of Moodle in Indian Context.

SciPy 2010 Call for Papers & Participation
==========================================
The second SciPy India Conference (scipy.in) will be held from
December 13th to 18th, 2010 at IIIT-Hyderabad
(http://www.iiit.ac.in/).
Scipy.in is a conference providing opportunities to spread the use of
the Python programming language in the Scientific Computing community
in India. It provides a unique opportunity to interact with the "Who's
who" of the Python for Scientific Computing fraternity and learn,
understand, participate and contribute what is happening in the realms
of Scientific Computing using Python. Attendees of the conference and
participants of the sprints planned will be able to access and review
the tools available, apart from learning domain-specific applications
and how the tools apply to a plethora of application problems.
One of the goals of the conference is to combine education,
engineering and science with computing through the medium of Python
and thereby extrapolate on how powerful Scientific Computing is in
various fields and among different communities.
At this conference, novel applications and breakthroughs made in the
pursuit of science using Python are presented. Attended by leading
figures from both academia and industry, it is an excellent
opportunity to experience the cutting edge of scientific software
development.
The conference is followed by three days of tutorials and code
sprints, during which community experts provide training on several
scientific Python packages.
We invite you to take part by submitting a talk abstract or register
as a participant on the conference website at: http://scipy.in
Talk/Paper Submission
=====================
We solicit talks and accompanying papers (either formal academic or
magazine-style articles) that discuss topics regarding scientific

About Python
============
Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented, open source,
extensible programming language. It combines clarity and readability,
making it an extremely powerful language that can be used for various
applications and problems.
Python is simple and easy to learn and apply. It offers an interactive
environment in which to explore procedural, functional and object
oriented approaches to problem solving. Its high level data
structures, extensive documentation and clear syntax make it an ideal
first language, while the large number of existing libraries make it
suitable to tackle almost any programming tasks. Its simplicity makes
it easy to adapt to multiple educational domains.
Python has several libraries that enable numeric and symbolic
computing. It also interfaces well with native codes in C,C++ and
FORTRAN and has excellent libraries for plotting/visualization. Python
also provides libraries for general purpose computing including
generating user interfaces and web development. These, coupled with
it's interactive interpreter, make Python an excellent language for
Scientific Computing.
All these features when combined with their wide-ranging applications
make Python a perfect fit for use in Education, Industry and
Scientific Computing.
Registration Fees
===============
Registration, accommodation and food are offered at highly subsidized
rates for teachers and students, while registration and food will be
offered to all conference participants at subsidized rates. Details

We, the Free Software Movement Team having been consistently working
to build the Free Software Movement in Karnataka, have decided to
consolidate our efforts by forming an organisation. Our work has been
built on the work of the pioneers of Free Software in the country.
After much deliberation, we have decided to name our organisation the
'Free Software Movement - Karnataka' to symbolise the all inclusiveness
of the Movement. What differentiates us from other groups, organisations
or networks is our approach to building the Movement. Our scientific
understanding is that only a 'mass movement' in the FOSS domain can
bring about the various changes that we envision. To build such a mass
movement, a democratic, transparent, representative and dynamic
organisation is essential.
We understand that to address the various challenges before the
Free Software Movement it is essential to have broad based coordination
among the various entities operating in the FOSS domain, in conformance
with our principles. It should be noted that we are not affiliated to FSF-I
or any other entity, at present. We represent the Free Software Movement.
Prof Eben Moglen and RMS have been our inspiration.
The Convener is Senthil S.(9900262828) <senthilsos(a)yahoo.com> and
Jt. Convener is Vikram Vincent (9448810822) <vincentvikram@gmail..com>
This core team is supported by a group of academicians, people from the
industry and students from around Karnataka.
We present the 'Free Software Movement - Karnataka (FSMK)'
http://fsmk.orghttp://fsmk.in
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is a mass movement?
Mass movement : is a word with comes from geology. It is the
geomorphic process by which soil, regolith, and rock move down slope
under the force of gravity.
Mass movement can be over varying timescales from seconds to years.
Mass movement may occur at a very slow rate, particularly in areas that
are very dry or those areas that receive sufficient rainfall such that
vegetation has stabilised the surface.
It may also occur at very high speed, such as in rock slides or landslides.
--------
We aim to be a MASS MOVEMENT in FREE SOFTWARE
We would like be a group of hacktivists - who can be catalysts in reaching
the idea of free software to a large number of people - including the
people who don't have hardware - by giving them free hardware to start with.
Whether the mass movement in free software in India is going to be
rapid or slow - is going to depend on You Waking up to the philosophy
of free software..
