Fedora 15 release event – Chennai

I gave a presentation about Fedora 15 and its features at the monthly meet of Indian Linux Users Group – Chennai. I started my presentation by answering the question “Why Fedora and Fedora project?”. Explained them about core foundations of Fedora project and other things at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Overview.

Then i moved on to the new features in Lovelock. I picked up features Systemd and Gnome 3 and explained them elaborately.  I showed them the brand new gnome 3 desktop and informed them about what to expect and what not to expect from it. People were puzzled about the removal of poweroff/reboot/minimize button from the system menu and title bar. I showed them how they can bring back the poweroff/reboot/minimize buttons by installing gnome-shell extensions.

Finally i asked the audience to watch out for Fudcon:APAC, India as the Fedora Indian community is looking forward to conduct the conference later this year. Fedora 15 ISO’s, snacks and beverages were served in the end 🙂

Presentation on basics of Django

I did a presentation on basics of Django in chennai python user group (chennaipy) meeting last week. This post contains the presentation and code samples i used in the talk.

The presentation and code samples were designed to help Django newbies.  There are some differences in  the code i used in the presentation and the actual code samples , also i was not able to get the alignment of python code correct in the presentation.

The presentation can be downloaded from here
