Hamara Linux project

[kumar shantanu]

Hello guys,

By way of introduction, my name is Shantanu and I am involved in hamara linux development which we started few months ago. We have just reached beta 3 https://twitter.com/hamaralinux/status/557933741289779201. I must say that a open-source project like hamara linux needs more and more open-source enthusiasts to make it better. We welcome all linux/open-source people to have a look at this project and join/contribute to it if anyone wants/can.

In this regards we are hare having a Hamara Linux Conference in Gurgaon where we will talk about hamara linux in details. You guys can register yourself to join this conference and first few aspirants will get transportation reimbursement and some cool goodies. I will soon post the details for registering for this event.

Thanks
Shantanu (Hamara Linux)

You are using Gnome. Don't you think that will increase the memory
consumption rather than having "Enlightenment" for your desktop
environment?

consumption rather than having "Enlightenment" for your desktop
environment?

Yeah, that's, right gnome used to be a memory hog. However in the later version(which is shipped with hamara) the gnome team has worked on this part and the memory footprint has reduced a lot.

Moreover we are also developing hamara-sugam based on lxde side by side which is targeted for low resource machines. http://www.hamaralinux.org/news/hamara-sugam.

But I am pleased that you did raise this concern and am waiting for more questions/suggestions like this :)

Sure , we also eager to meet linux/opensource enthusiast like you.

Thanks

Some days ago I was able to compile all the packages of Enlightenment
environment on my Ubuntu 14.10 and it is running very smooth.

One more thing I tried that was theme development. In Enlightenment
theme development is just like writing HTML code or the one who know
how to use only <img> tag in HTML5 can be theme developer. Moreover
LXDE gives you only a kind of classy look but on the other hand in
terms of visualizations E19 is much rich and more
configurable.(Sometimes looks matter lot)

I am just fan. :D

Great, so may be we can replace lxde with enlightenment. I will post this to our mailing list and have everyone's else view as well.

tried both 64 as well as 32 bit it does not work nor i am getting any errors in the client .

at the end of every mail we have a mailing list guidelines try to respect that  , also if you are hanging on the list it could be good idea to try to moderate now and then yourself too  .
