Software Freedom Day (SFD) celebration 2010 at KU #SFD

Software Freedom Day (SFD) is being celebrated at Kathmandu University under the canopy of Kathmandu University Open Source Community (KUOSC) on Saturday, 18th September 2010.

Software Freedom Day (SFD) is a global event to promote and foster Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) being celebrated on 3rd Saturday of every September. It is being coordinated by Software Freedom International globally by providing support, giveaways and a point of collaboration; however volunteer teams around the world organize the local SFD events to impact their own communities.

This event used to be celebrated on a central location under the organization of FOSS Nepal community. But this time, the modality of event has changed and it is being celebrated in decentralized modal in various ICT colleges around Nepal. At KU, KUOSC has taken the responsibility of celebrating SFD.

On Friday evening, a candle light vigil will be held behind the library block to mark the eve of SFD. Then on the very day of SFD, a small FOSS orientation session will be held with introduction to FOSS, SFD, and Open Source as a whole. Install Feast, in which our volunteers will help install Ubuntu Linux Operating system on the interested student's computer, will also be the part of the event. CDs of Ubuntu Linux operating system will also be available at the price just enough to reciprocate the cost of CDs. Sfd2010Also balloon release ceremony will also be held to mark the release of balloons as the advent of free software. Also a short training session will also be held to introduce the participants to Ubuntu Linux operating system. In parallel, we will also be screening a short documentary to elucidate the participants and visitors about FOSS and free software.

Also an interesting concept called Open Art ,where all the visitors will paint whatever they like on the same canvas, will also be held. We hope the visitors and participators will be acquainted with the concept of FOSS software learn to admire it and help foster FOSS philosophy. We would like to invite you all at our event Software Freedom Day (SFD) celebration at Kathmandu University,Dhulikhel Kavre.

[ KUOSC is the sister organization of Kathmandu University Computer Club (KUCC) which specializes in advocacy, promotion and development of concepts and software under the FOSS domain. It is one of the integral part of KUCC ]

Radha : Shruti Sambeg [Review and Download]

Radha by Krishna Dharabasi is wonderful novel based on traditional era of Lord Krishna and Radha. The traditional plot of the story makes the readers/listeners feel that Dharabasi is narrating us the same old story of love of Radha and Krishna. However , the story based on the traditional plot it portrays the modern era in a dramatic way such that it speaks of so many hidden things that we will be amazed while ending it up. Radha and Krishna are the eternal lovers. Lord Krishna and Radha are together since childhood. But in teenage they are separated (as in the traditional story) and Lord Krishna has to go away leaving Vindraban for fulfilling the task for which he has taken birth.This brings tragedy to Radha and all the people in Vindraban. Radha waits for Krishna to arrive but he seldom does. She is stubborn to go meet Krishna. Later she sets out as a Yogini in a long voyage to search self, leaving her parents. She is accompanied by her friend Bisakha everywhere she went. Radha faces...

ग्राहक को पर्खाइ मा हात को मुठी भित्र सल्किरहेको चुरोट छ, नेपाली ढाकाटोपी, अनि कोट र गोल्डस्टार जुत्ता मा सजिएका बुढा बा, पुरानो वसपार्क छेवैको, एक पर्खाल को आड मा ग्राहक को पर्खाइ मा छन् । काँटावाला, तराजु लिएर बसेका उनी, मान्छे को तौल जोख्छन्, तौल जोखि माग्नेहरुले पैसो तिरेर आफ्नो तौल जोख्छन् । यो फोटो लिएको समय नेपाली कांग्रेस को महाधिवेशन चल्दैथियो । बाटोभरि मान्छेहरु को भिड थियो, तर यस्तो लाग्दैथ्यो यी बुढा बा लाई केही वास्ता थिएन । उनी चुरोट तान्दै आफैँ मा हराइरहेका झैँ देखिन्थेँ । ढल्किँदो दिन त्रिपुरेश्वर मा अवस्थित मन्दिर को फोटो खिच्दा, पश्चिम मा सूर्य डुब्न लागिसकेको थियो । कोलाहाल को बिचमा उभिएको मन्दिर आफू मा चाँहि साह्रै शान्त छ । पुल्चोक मा आयोजित लोकस २०१० हेरेर फर्किँदै गर्दा, थकाइ मार्ने उद्देश्य ले यही मन्दिर मा एकछिन अडिएको थिँए । झोलुङ्गे पुल ललितपुर बालकुमारी मा, मनोहरा खोला माथि रहेको झोलुंङ्गे पुल ! यो फोटो खिच्दा, मौसम सफा थिएन, हल्का वर्षा भइरहेथ्यो । त्यसदिन केही साथिहरु को साथ मा, नयाँ वानेश्वर, शंखमुल हुँदै यो झोलुङ्गे पुल तरेर, बालकुमारी हु...

Palpasa Cafe [Review]

अपडेट: प्रकाशक'को अाग्रहमा रेडियो वाचनबाट पल्पसा क्याफेको वाचन हटाइएको छ । हामी ले विगतका केही रेडियो वाचन का शृंखला मा नारायण वाग्ले को चर्चित उपन्यास "पल्पसा क्याफे" रेडियोकर्मी अच्युत घिमिरे को आवाजमा सुनाएका थियौँ । ८ अंकमा प्रशारण गरिएको पल्पसा क्याफे का लेखक सँग "पल्पसा क्याफे" को सेरोफेरो मा गरिएको कुराकानी राख्ने योजना हाम्रो थियो तर अन्तरवार्ता को रेकर्ड अहिले फेला पार्न नसकिएकोले प्रशारण गर्न असमर्थ भएका छौँ, पछि भेटिएको खण्डमा हामी अवश्य पनि राख्ने नै छौँ । हामीले भनिरहनुपर्दैन, पल्पसा क्याफे एक उत्कृष्ट उपन्यास हो जसलाई ऐतिहासिक दस्तावेज भन्दा पनि फरक नपर्ला । रेडियोवाचन को शृंखला मा यी सम्पुर्ण अंकहरु उपलब्ध गराइदिनुहुने अच्युत घिमिरेलाई धेरै धेरै धन्यवाद । पल्पसा क्याफे त सुनिसकियो, तर यहाँहरु ले पल्पसा क्याफेलाई कसरी मुल्यांङ्कन गर्नुभयो थाहा छैन । खैर कुरो जेसुकै होस्, आज यहाँ म केही साथिहरुको ब्लगमा प्रकाशित "पल्पसा क्याफे" बारे गरिएको टिप्पणीहरु सहित उपस्थित भएको छु । साथिहरुको ब्लगमा प्रकाशित भइसकेका कुराहरुलाई एकै ठाउँमा समेट्न...
