I have joined the kurdish-lug mailing list recently and though about introducing my self. Im kurdish, male 18 living in Arbil and doing my senior year in high school at the ishik college. I stumbled across linux os about three years ago and i have been using it ever since. I loved the open source community and programming ever since i learned my alphabet XD. Anyway im waiting for some activities or posts..even some local meetings at local places to discuss related subjects will be great..:) Giggs From nd at syndicat.com Thu Nov 27 11:09:53 2008 From: nd at syndicat.com (Niels Dettenbach) Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2008 11:09:53 +0100 Subject: [KurdishLinux] Evening In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <200811271109.53808.nd@syndicat.com> Dear Giggs, many thanks for your posting and introducing yours. As you may have seen your posting is one of the first in this group. Currently there are only just a few peoples on the list and it seems until today there was no real interest in a kurdish LUG by the kurds. But i hope this will get changed in the next. I like to introduce me and this project here: Im 33 years old and are from (former east) germany. Since 11 year im working with open source like linux, Free,- net- and openBSD. Since two years with openSolaris too. In my last trips to kurdistan (I've worked for different local ISPs in Arbil, Suly, Dohuk) i've found several peoples wich are still working with Linux and/or FreeBSD on different levels but they still are looking for Linux / Unix knowledge and peoples wich are skilled in this. I've looked for a kurdish or iraqi Linux user group but i didn't found one. There is still a LUG on iraqi level, but their work seems to be much far from the typical work of a LUG anywhere on the globe. In germany i've founded our regional LUG (EICLust) several years ago and im active in different other LUGs around too. As a small - but well connected - european hosting ISP my idea was to found such a kurdish LUG to help open source to grow in kurdistan, to connect open source peoples within kurdistan and provide a platform for their activities. As the most ISPs in kurdistan are connected by satellite or loose + far fiber links the best place for hosting the website, mailing lists and/or ftp's of such a LUG is still in europe. Because im not rooted in kurdistan im looking for kurds wich are interested byself in (co-)found a kurdish LUG and helps to coordinate local activities in their country. I see my part in providing the LUG with our server ressources (webspace / CMS, mailing list, ftp, jabber, IRC and/or other services) in the one hand - on the other i will try to connect the kurdish LUG to european LUGs - bring in my experiences about the work of LUGs - help to transfer open source knowledge into kurdistan by activating experienced open source guys wich will provide help on your mailing list, sharing experience within kurds and other such activities. In case you are interested to be active in or with this LUG please feel to ask me anytime - you are welcome to help to build the kurdish LUG, promote the project Linux-Kurdistan.org and the ideas behind a LUG. May be you know some more guys on your university wich are interested in open source and open for such a LUG and may participate in this mailing list? If you like to provide a (cms based) website i will provide the hosting ressources or further domain names for the project too - no prob. In case you have someone who will act as a list moderator - pls contact me too. But - just in case you have any questions about linux or open source please feel free to post it in this group - this should be the typical reason of a LUGs mailing list. cheers, Niels.

Im a little busy these days - so i will write more after the next days. Here just some points for first: If you like you can do and / or organize things like: 1.) Beeing a / the moderator of the kurd-lug mailing list. 2.) Create a simple website (CMS based) for the kurd-lug - i.e. with: * ruby on rails? * ZOPE / ZMS (i will provide the ZOPE with ZMS installation) * ZOPE / Plone (i will provide the ZOPE with Plone installation) While ruby on rails works on and with ruby, ZOPE is implemented in Python and most apps could be implemented as "DTML" (ZOPE DTML - see http://zope.org for details). I'm more active under ZOPE - so i can provide you with my help within ZOPE. 3.) Create contacts within your institute and arbil? May be you can organize / host a first Kurd LUG with students meeting in your institute? Publish the Kurd LUG idea, addresses (website / mailing list) within your institute and / or outside (like in the free press)? Please feel free to ask me anytime you need. In the next weeks i will have some more time again for beeing active within or for the kurd LUG. I will provide you anything you need at our servers. Im open to give you shell (ssh) access to kurd LUG server ressources after a while (for your person only) too. btw: pls write further mails to me above my personal email address nd at syndicat.com. best regards, Niels.
