After watching a series of serious problem with Sify as my ISP especially with their DNS and worst support for Linux , I migrated to new ISP. It offers a actual download speed of 48kbps (On a connection that is 392kbps) and 60+kbps upload speed *SIMULTANEOUSLY* unlike Sify .Here are few screenshots attached of their user control panel :).

A Great Learning Curve
When I got access to SVN and become a new member of the ever growing OpenMRS community, I realized that I have full Read/Write access to whole of the SVN and asked my mentors following thing :
"1. I want my write access to be "LIMITED" only to http://svn.openmrs.org/openmrs-modules/feedback/ . How this can be done ?
"
Then Burke Mamlin (My Co-Mentor) replied me with one of the best statement that I have heard so far : "We purposefully don't try to manage a social problem (i.e., svn code of conduct) through a technical solution." And then I realized the actual meaning of the fact that great power come with even greater responsibilities.Although the snip from the Burke's mail is following : — Just limit your commits to that code. If you check out that folder it will be very difficult – if not impossible – for you to accidentally write to other parts of the repository. That said, if a couple months go by and you notice an obvious misspelling or typographical error in the code, you won't have to ask for privileges to change it.
We purposefully don't try to manage a social problem (i.e., svn code of conduct) through a technical solution. You know what you should be doing & what you shouldn't be doing and we trust you. If you make a mistake, the repository keep track of each change so it's very easy to fix. If someone abuses their access to the repository, then that's easy to fix too. 🙂

Welcome to the family #openmrs
I requested the access to the repository by sending a mail at the Subversion Administrators <code_AT_openmrs_DOT_org> , and within some days once the module id conformed as the *feedback*, I got the access to SVN of OpenMRS with the mail from my own Mentor Ben Wolfe that states
"Welcome to the family! You now have write access to the repository using the same credentials as you do for the wiki and jira sites. Please be sure to read about our repository conventions, including the code of conduct: ". After that I gone through the Subversion Code of Conduct and http://openmrs.org/help/developers/#Subversion_Code_Repository as asked by the Ben Wolfe.At the same Ben's mail contain a quick small tutorial for the same which is following : ——(Snip from Ben Wolfe mail)—-If you have already written your code, the easiest way to get your project into svn is using the "share project" link.
1) "Team–>Disconnect" your current project
2) Then "Team–>Share Project" your project
3) Specify a folder name (from the http://svn.openmrs.org repository) of "openmrs-modules/feedback/
trunk" as the directory name
4) Enter a commit comment like "Creating initial directory for feedback"
5) Choose "Team –> Commit" from the root of your project
(For some reason, this only adds the parent folder, so you'll have to now add all the files)
6) Choose "Team–>Commit" on the root of your project
7) Enter a commit comment like "Initial commit of all feedback files" If you haven't written any code, the easiest thing to do would be to branch another module that you want to start from. basicmodule, helloworldmodule, devexamples/simpleservicemodule are all good candidates. 1) Open the SVN Repository Exploring Perspective in Eclipse
2) Add http://svn.openmrs.org as a repository
3) Find the module you want to branch, right click on it and choose Branch/Tag
4) Enter http://svn.openmrs.org/openmrs-modules/feedback/trunk as the "Copy to URL"
5) Choose the "HEAD" revision
6) Enter a commit comment like "Initial commit of all feedback files"
7) Now do an svn checkout of that new trunk folder and start editing, adding, and then committing! For all subsequent commits, choose "Team–>Commit" from the root of your project and check/uncheck the files that you want to send to the svn server.

OpenMRS GSOC-2011 Community Bonding Period
My community bonding period with OpenMRS as a part of GSOC-2011 is going good.The project implementation ideas are almost completed that can be accessed here : https://wiki.openmrs.org/x/JQfn .And the concept of weekly developer call is really awesome : https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Weekly+Developer+Meeting .
Installation of packages with No/Limited Internet Connectivity
Narendra Sisodiya has started a project named debbundle for the installation of the software on computers running deb based GNU/Linux but with NO/Limited internet connectivity.Although their are many other replacement for the project like aptoncd but the thing that make it unique it is that it is ported on SchoolOS by default.Now, I will be testing it in next couple of days incase I find some free time.
