  1. Google Calendar Event Generator on Google Calendar · · Score: 1

    The Event Pubisher Guide contains instructions on how to construct a URL to share an event, which other people can add to their calendars. But the manual construction of the URL can be tedious. Hence, I came up with a quick page, the Google Event URL Generator to generate URLs with ease. Still a work in progress, but usable.

    As far as I know they were introduced more than 5 years ago. It is a technology developed indigenously.

  5. Re:Correct me if I am wrong. on GNOME In Hindi · · Score: 3, Insightful
    In india, everyone who is educated knows basic English, enough to make out what all those menus mean.

    Have you even lived in India? First of all India has 14 different principal languages and most of them have a separate script of their own. There is a huge number of people who speak their native languages properly and find it difficult understanding English (even if they can read the letters, it does not mean they can understand messages and prompts!).

    Hindi being the most widely spoken in India, the translation of Gnome into Hindi, is a great first step. Lets hope it inspires other efforts in order to port Gnome to other Indian languages.

    This is but a small step towards promoting Linux among a wide number of users in India who might want to deal with computers in a language they are most comfortable with
