This is an invitation to you all to the upcoming FOSS Ka Kura (FKK) which is being organized by Madan Puraskar Pustakalya (MPP). Please find the details of the programme below:


Topic: "Formatted Nepali Text Conversion"

Venue: Yala Maya Kendra, Lalitpur, PatanDhoka
Date: Friday January 9, 2009
Time: 4 P.M - 5 P.M

Presentation of a new Open Source tool for i.a. converting mixed Nepali documents using Nepali fonts/from to Unicode.

The converter is in several ways revolutionary in comparision to what exists right now:

VERSATILE:
- Supports formatted (OpenOffice) documents natively, and HTML, RTF through plugins.
- All formatting (font size, underline, italic,...) is kept intact.
- Not limited to text, but also spreadsheets, presentations etc can be converted.
- Mixed text with Nepali and non-devanagari (English) text can be converted (i.e. documents using mixed fonts Preeti, Arial, Kantipur, Courier, etc are converted correctly, with all formatting intact)

USER FRIENDLY AND EASY:

- much more user friendly than existsing tools. F.eks. user does not need to know about or specify text encodings
- clipboard conversion
- conversion tables are kept in user friendly spreadsheets (one for each font), which an (educated) user can maintain even with no programming skills.


Jacob Nordfalk is a Danish programmer and assistant professor in CS, is living in Nepal, Kathmandu and have i.a. written 3 books about Java programming.

The project is 80% complete and available from Nepali Converter . It will be a big step forward for Digital Nepal... if volunteers are found to take over and finish the project before until April 2009, when Jacob moves permanently to live in Denmark.

The talk will present how the (Java) converter is working. Knowing some Java is fine, but there are other activities (transliteration schemes and font conversion tables and quality assurance/testing, use case analysis etc) where just general computer knowledge is required to contribute to the project.

    It is indeed a good news. Personally I am also very much interested to use free and open source software, as they are "legally free".

    These days I am trying to figure out the uses of "Flex", and Open office org, which I think,are still more sophisticated than the paid ones.

    I hope and wish the new converter will add a new height in the development and usability of of Nepali language in computers.

म र ऊ - एउटा अनलाइन भेट [कथा]

“तिमी को हो?” मेरो प्रश्न थियो! उसले भनी, “खुशी” । “को खुशी”, मैले सोधेँ ! “ह्या, कस्तो नचिन्या होला? म खुशी के ! रहर, छायाँ, खुशी जे भने नि म नै हो के”, उसको जवाफ ! “ए, तिमी पो, कता हराकी थियौ? अब के भनौँ त तिमीलाई उसोभए?” “जे भने नि हुन्छ!” “उसोभए म खुशी भन्छु है”, मैले भनेँ ! उसले हुन्छ भन्ने जनाउ दिन, आँखा सन्काइ र लेखी “हे हे” । कुरा यसरी नै सुरु भएको थियो च्याटमा ! च्याटमा को सँग कुरा गरिरहेछु, आफैँलाई पत्तो छैन, न पहिले च्याट गरिएको थियो, न भेट नै गरिएको थियो । ट्विटरमा नाम परिवर्तन गरिरहने ऊसँग ट्विटरमा आक्कल झुक्कल कुरा गरिने भएपनि उनको ‘म्यासेज’ पहिलोपल्ट च्याटमा अकस्मात आइपुगेको थियो ! म उनको बारेमा प्रस्ट हुन सकिरहेको थिँइन ! अत: फेरि सोधेँ, “यो खुशी को हो?” मेरो प्रश्नले, उसले आफू दुखित भएको जनाउ दिन लेखी “:(” “हैन किन यति रिङ्ग्याएको मलाई”, मैले सोधेँ । “नाम मे क्या रखा है? ;)”, उसको जवाफ ! “नाममा धेरै कुरा राख्या छ हजुर, चिन्नु त पर्यो नि, आफू कोसँग कुरा गर्दैछु भनेर”, मैले भनेँ ! “पिक द नेम, तिम्लाई जुन मन पर्छ त्यही राख”, उसले मलाई नाम छान्ने अधिकार दिई ।...
