Another high priority packaging help request. Anyone want to jump in
and help? This is a high priority and big impact package.

Btw all of you folks should read this inspiring story of New York
University students who came up and challenged face book.
http://nymag.com/news/features/establishments/68512/ They are all your
age and they are making fundamental changes in how technology works.
Much inspiratory work on the same class as Linus Torvalds and his
Linux Kernel project. All of you could be doing things like these -
code you write could be making changes to so many people around the
world and would be making fundamental changes to how technology
affects common people.
For those who want to test diaspora, try these pre-configured diaspora
hosts diasp.org https://poddery.com/ http://weleft.com or even
consider hosting your own pod if you have your own hosting or on your
own personal machine if you have a static ip or dynamic dns configured
internet. You decide what you want to share, with whom, where to store
it etc, afterall its your information and all facebook or orkut or
myspace offering you is some website and hosting, both of them are
cheaper or even can be pooled among friends, like hosting one diaspora
instance in coep or offering to host pods for your friends etc. Once
you get in diaspora my handle is j4v4m4n at joindiaspora.com and
Chamba Swathanthra Cinema project handle is chamba at diasp.org
Shravan, now you know it is worth paying for a static ip, since you
can host your own diaspora instance.
Also checkout Freedom Box project http://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox

PS: What is common between diaspora, freedombox and chamba? All are
inspired by Eben Moglen. You all will get to listen to his inspiring
speeches during our course, but if you are impatient start listing
right now, its on the internet. It might be a bit difficult to follow
when you hear for the first time, because he talks about so many
concepts, ideas, historical views etc which we may not have heard
before or have thought about.

You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your
rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as
they follow the rules: laws and constitution.
