			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="drop">T</span>hanks to have a wonderful time, the accident, the food, the class and the fonts. I am still at MIT, just after concluding my two day full-fledge hands on session on font designing with font forge. The slide was same as what I used earlier for Letter Made Better talks which is available <a href="http://hiran.v.googlepages.com/lmb.pdf">here</a>.</p>
<p>Yesterday, just before entering the campus, I had a pact with Tamilnadu Roadways by having a small accident. It was also from <a href="http://amachu.net/">amachu</a> who coordinated all the thing here, from my tickets to food. At night me and he had to watch the film &#8220;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhaam_Dhoom">dham dhoom</a>&#8220;, which is really horrible and the lack of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeeva_%28director%29">Jeeva</a>, who died in an accident while the shooting is specifically seen over the film &#8211; infact what he directed and what others did can be simple understood over watching the film. Any way having a film from Chennai, the city of film was an experience in many way <img src='http://www.hiran.in/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hiTjz03cRK4/SMzyLsuAF9I/AAAAAAAABoU/oIa8k6EmzIk/s1600-h/Photo-0032.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hiTjz03cRK4/SMzyLsuAF9I/AAAAAAAABoU/oIa8k6EmzIk/s200/Photo-0032.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Back to the font designing &#8211; the team here has done something over by now which includes making up of a mailing list, a group in lauchpad <img src='http://www.hiran.in/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  (all those ubuntu guys are always with that stupid thing!) and planning to register at <a href="https://savannah.nongnu.org/">savannah</a>. Well, All the Best and Thanks for all!</p>
<p>Note : This is for the first time I am writing a blog over projector!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span class="drop">F</span>orge the font</span> session is now on fire at Madras Institute of Technology, Chennai. The day one is over and was a wonderful experience for me. A train trip from Palakkad to Chennai with lot of fun, a bike accident sponsored by Amachu and the session for 10+ people, (which includes<a href="http://kevinsiji.wordpress.com/"> Kevin</a>!) on fontforge &#8211; it was wonderful. All loved font designing and was much eager to learn the idea&#8230;<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hiTjz03cRK4/SMuimOu7JNI/AAAAAAAABoE/wkGlW68hb4E/s1600-h/Photo-0044.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hiTjz03cRK4/SMuimOu7JNI/AAAAAAAABoE/wkGlW68hb4E/s200/Photo-0044.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hiTjz03cRK4/SMuimT-9dFI/AAAAAAAABoM/238DjRPa4eE/s1600-h/Photo-0045.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hiTjz03cRK4/SMuimT-9dFI/AAAAAAAABoM/238DjRPa4eE/s200/Photo-0045.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />The day1 contained with very basic things, introduction of fontforge, unicode, inkscape and designing and a hands on session to development of font. The next day contains indic font issues, substitution and developement concepts. Will blog after that.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="drop">T</span>he logo for <a href="http://smc.org.in/">Swathathra Malayalam Computing</a>, the free software localization and language based software development team based on Malayalam language is now ready. The logo is designed by Ravi Sangamithra along with <a href="http://hiraneffects.blogspot.com/">Hiran Venugopalan</a> and the design is based of the Malayalam letter ഋ [U+0D0B], which is supposed to be the most beautiful glyph in Malayalam language. The glyph is rarely used these days and is not present in any other South Indian language. The logo is designed in two patterns &#8211; asymmetric hand generated one and symmetric one. Also a traditional way of writing Swathanthra Malayalam Computing in Malayalam is designed as a part of logo.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hiTjz03cRK4/SKGUAPf2YRI/AAAAAAAABl4/-fM2O2QMNRE/s1600-h/smclogo.png"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hiTjz03cRK4/SKGUAPf2YRI/AAAAAAAABl4/-fM2O2QMNRE/s200/smclogo.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hiTjz03cRK4/SKGUBBmqtRI/AAAAAAAABmI/JYMSORZvklc/s1600-h/smc_logo.png"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hiTjz03cRK4/SKGUBBmqtRI/AAAAAAAABmI/JYMSORZvklc/s200/smc_logo.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hiTjz03cRK4/SKGUA3rMKGI/AAAAAAAABmA/5yfU5Ip343s/s1600-h/smcl.png"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hiTjz03cRK4/SKGUA3rMKGI/AAAAAAAABmA/5yfU5Ip343s/s200/smcl.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />The designers thank <a href="http://nicubunu.ro/">Nicu</a>, a wonderfully talent artist for his valuable helps for designing the logo and also the SMC team who shared ideas and criticized the design.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="drop">I</span>t finally happened. The talk was schedule for 11PM and started at bit moment before noon. The slides where same as <a href="http://hiran.v.googlepages.com/lmb.pdf">old</a> just with some of my font screen shot. A new slide was introduced &#8211; &#8221; I am a film addict &#8211; if you have some good films, give me right NOW!&#8221; just for the fun of it. The session was a long, in fact the longest that I had done on font designing, about 100+ minutes. The number of students where less compared to old talks and was quite when compared to total participants for the mukt. Some guys came in the last odd minutes and told that the lunch was ready, making the session to have a sudden death. That was really an experience! Any way it happened!<a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_hiTjz03cRK4/SJbozDXCdfI/AAAAAAAABkA/qJb4kb9lEuQ/s1600-h/DSC01738.JPG"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_hiTjz03cRK4/SJbozDXCdfI/AAAAAAAABkA/qJb4kb9lEuQ/s200/DSC01738.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_hiTjz03cRK4/SJboznaNlsI/AAAAAAAABkI/SoVkRUKxuHc/s1600-h/DSC01769.JPG"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_hiTjz03cRK4/SJboznaNlsI/AAAAAAAABkI/SoVkRUKxuHc/s200/DSC01769.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_hiTjz03cRK4/SJboz_CtuSI/AAAAAAAABkQ/rRPZxMWFwfQ/s1600-h/DSC01782.JPG"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_hiTjz03cRK4/SJboz_CtuSI/AAAAAAAABkQ/rRPZxMWFwfQ/s200/DSC01782.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="drop">I</span>t was great to be a NITC for the third time attending FOSSEvent@NITC. I was confused and mad completely on Friday and I along with Syam reached there at NITC before Kiruba started his talk.</p>
<p>My talk was on Friday at 9AM and my strategical approach made me it parallel with Praveen&#8217;s talk on Open ID. Still some number of audience where there, though not a house full one and was  one good, even  the fontforge broke while I worked over it. I was not able to take a picture of audience as my mobile cameras got &#8216;polluted&#8217;. <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/133/416720322_933114c27b.jpg?v=0">You can adjust with Kiruba&#8217;s</a>! The examination at Calicut University had badly affected the event in number of audience. Being a candidate for the semester 5 examinations, I came back &#8220;immediately&#8221; after my talk (Promise, I didn&#8217;t attend the Day2). Tuxmaniac&#8217;s magical touch over the <a href="http://www.gnome.org/projects/cheese/">cheese</a> made it to work!</p>
<p>Trip on a packed bus to kozhikode, travel to NITC with syam, Mid night making the slide for talk at Men&#8217;s Hostel with Kishore, the dinner,  and times with Praveen, Anivar, Santhosh, Pramode sir, Baiju, tuxmaniac, Sharath, Mobin, Anipeter, Sreerenj, Seena, Renjith (room mate of Kishore, who told me that he &#8216;reads&#8217; my blog!), Niyam, Rahul, Kiruba and was so great, that I even forgot  need to write examination now after 1 hour (at 9am, monday morning).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="drop">I</span> was waiting for being at <a href="http://fossmeet.in/">FOSSMeet</a> this year, since I saw its webpage. As we planned to have a SMC meet along with it, and a school students workshop by <a href="http://pramode.net/">Pramode sir</a>, I confirmed my place there. It was unexpected thing that the exam came in between, and what to do, should I miss the thrill? I planned NOT to go, but when I saw the poster in my college bills &#8211; I can&#8217;t wait more. I am comming there, and this time too I am a <a href="http://fossmeet.in/node/109">speaker</a>. So see you all at the font dev talk, Sharp 9AM*!</p>
<p>*conditions apply.</p>
