openSUSE Ambassador, Neighborhood and Contribution to local LUG

Andi Sugandi — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 12:51:12 +0000

I’ve joined to the local LUG (KLuB, Klub Linux Bandung) since it held new board election in RMS’s event at (Aula Barat) ITB in 2004. That was my first step to begin contributing to the community. Spreading GNU/Linux to other (heterogenous) community, and finally took participant (led by Vavai) on building Indonesian openSUSE Community (openSUSE-Id) 3 years latter.

[openSUSE community members location, November 2009]

I’m now joining openSUSE Ambassador that has fun impact on how to contribute to larger community more seriously. Taking more time for it, and how to be an gentleman and be a wise man to other Linux distribution community on local LUG.

So helping my neighbor’s party (thanks to KLuBers and Blender Indonesia Army) is a good deal as a consequences to contribute to local LUG (and also celebrating Nu Substance Festival 2009: Resonance), and as a gentleman guy to be part of openSUSE Ambassador. Have fun with the party brothers, because we’re going to have one this week too.

Keep good work and be more seriously contributing to the community, otherwise.. You should change job!

New Theme

Andi Sugandi — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 04:59:45 +0000

Yesterday i changed this blog theme to:

October Special 1.0 by Derek Punsalan

From HCI-MMI

I like its design, and look, I found the Colophon still refers to home page, not to about page thought. Any clue?

From HCI-MMI

Otherwise i feel it’s cozier with this new theme, hopefully you feel the same.

May Allah Swt. guide you to be a Great Muslimah and having great honor in this fragile world to the Second Life. Amin.

One GNU/Linux user was born (again)..

I Like It (Her?)

Andi Sugandi — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 08:36:47 +0000

When looking for right moment and inspiration on how to give report about what i’ve done (give some lectures in Unikom, ILC2008-Bali, and AAoS-Jakarta) these days in contributing to the community, i find this site have changed its design today (?). Pretty (even it’s little strange to look), but more than that she did great things on FOSS (especially usability in KDE), she is one of many contributors on how to make KDE easy to use (”it just works!” she said) and also entertains the user and help thousands of people did their jobs fast and efficiently.

I like her and i care about them too, and hopefully i can do the same (or perhaps more) things on how to provide Linux (and related to it) easier to use and make the user always happy..

I Laptop

Andi Sugandi — Tue, 13 May 2008 04:27:39 +0000

I need to write down this post, because it’s important when some tutorial I write needs more information refer to what hardware platform– processor that is used or size of my main memory machine, what kind of graphic adapter that it’s powered, etc– I’m using in those tutorials. So, the reader of this blog can consider on how to follow my tutorials correctly.

Almost all my posts are taken from many events that occur in my laptop– how things make some errors, how it’s important to report, and usefull to be documented. And it’s of course written in this laptop too..

Ok, lets see then how I describe my own machine in this my favorite blog..

The Factory
It’s named Acer-Aspire 5620.

The Processor
The brain is Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo Processor T2300 (1.66 GHz, 667 MHz FSB, 2 MB L2 Cache).

Main Memory
It only needs 512MB DDR2 (support dual channel) to run KDE 4.0.4 smoothly..

Graphic Adapter

ATI Mobility(TM) Radeon(R) X1300 has had driven Compiz Fusion and KWin-Desktop Effects enabled impressively with fglrx-ATI proprietary Linux display driver installed.

The Screen
Has clear sight with 15.4″ WXGA CrystalBrite LCD (16ms).

The Hard Drive
All my files are stored in this HDD 60GB 5400rpm.

The Removable Media Drive
I can get some files from this DVD/CD-RW Combo.

I’ll give it some updates soon about further information of this laptop how it runs Linux (especially openSUSE) perfectly.

I’m a Newbie

Andi Sugandi — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 09:35:38 +0000

Yes, I’m an intermediate researcher user in GNU/Linux openSUSE or IT related. I used computer for the first time when I was in collage university (6 years ago), in computer laboratory, studying word processor (that’s when i even didn’t know how to turn the monitor on.. ha ha ha). Though I’m a teaching assistant right now (operating system, computer networking, and PC assembly labworks, and algorithm programming course) in Teknik Komputer-Unikom, I feel that I’m still newbie, need more time to understand how the kernel (especially Linux) works in more details..

So, having this domain name and hosting freely from Vavai is a surprise gift. You know I’m not a special one in Indonesian openSUSE community (even I attended in the first openSUSE-Id gathering, and joined the organization), but perhaps it is a nice chance to write useful (especially openSUSE related) for everyone who needs it.. Thanks Vavai!

I’m writing about some program applications tutorials (that runs in openSUSE) in the next posts, describing briefly about, how they run, and how they usually implemented in, and I want to talk about openSUSE it self. You can read some writing about my personal activities here too, but in a less space. By the way, you can see my old writings (openSUSE related) too.

As an openSUSE user, I’m using openSUSE 10.3 with KDE 4.0.2 (at the time i write this post) in my whole computer activity. Ok, See you soon in the next post.. and have fun with Linux!
