Hi all!

Here I wish tell about features the LUG’s in Russia. Who I talked in my first post(http://www.linux.com/community/blogs/the-first-post-333592.html) I
is a coordinator a Ekaterinburg LUG(http://www.e-lug.ru/) in Russia. Our community was created on 19 Feb. 2008 year. For that time we
conducted several activities and conferences about OpenSource and his application in academic and state organizations(you can see our
reports about our fests here[in Russian]: http://bit.ly/9dKlpR).

It should be noted that our community is among the five most active in Russia, but we not have a sponsors to carry out our activities at a higher level.
Yes, we arended audience in Institutes, but it is rather difficult. At the moment we are very actively looking for sponsors, but so far our attempts
have not yielded tangible results. I would be glad to share experiences and learn from others about the holding of conferences and fests.

You also can contact me for this e-mail address: remalloc {at} gmail {d0T} com.

Plese, sorry for my bad English…

Now It’s Legal To Jailbreak or Unlock Your Phone (or any other device)

I always though Jail-braking or unlocking your phone (or any other device) was not legal, but I was wrong.

Times reports that The Library of Congress’ Copyright Office has officially deemed jailbreaking exempt “from a 1998 federal law that prohibits people from bypassing technical measures that companies put on their products to prevent unauthorized uses.”

Apple can still say jailbreaking voids your warranty, but you’re not doing anything illegal by jailbreaking your phone and installing apps not approved by Apple. Other good news: Unlocking cellphones (to use your phone with another carrier) was deemed legal in this ruling, as was circumventing DVD DRM to use the video for educational purposes, documentary film-making, and non-commercial videos. Check out a more in-depth analysis of the ruling over at Ars Technica.
