[18:15] <sha1231> 10 minutes
[18:28] <sha1231> back
[18:28] <sha1231> kuldeepdhaka: in a generic sense if you are talking about electricity then yes you have a problem
[18:29] <kuldeepdhaka> sha1231, (+ management, resources)
[18:30] <sha1231> kuldeepdhaka: the workaround for that are convertors and there are such converters available in the market, but they are expensive
[18:30] <kuldeepdhaka> sha1231, DC to AC converter for running server?
[18:31] <sha1231> the last time a friend of mine had bought, he a frequent flyer and it costed him around 3k with 5-in-1 which covers almost all the different electricity ratings
[18:31] <sha1231> that was for cellphone
[18:31] <kuldeepdhaka> what are we talking about?
[18:32] <sha1231> I was thinking it might be similar to raspberry pi which is AC to DC.
[18:33] <sha1231> so was using the same analogy
[18:33] <sha1231> cell phone charger
[18:33] <sha1231> kuldeepdhaka: ^
[18:34] <sha1231> have no idea if that power profiles fits on the product you have or not.
[18:34] <sha1231> that's why I was saying won't comment..
[18:34] <kuldeepdhaka> power profile fit???
[18:35] <sha1231> ah, let it be, just send me those details and then we can talk about it, unless I have more details
[18:35] <kuldeepdhaka> (the device will be a small usb device power from usb bus)
[18:35] <sha1231> oh..ohk didn't know that..
[18:35] <sha1231> was thinking it would use power from the A/C outlet.
[18:38] <sha1231> ok so power usage would be small and DC
[18:38] <kuldeepdhaka> yea
[18:39] <sha1231> so that takes out lot of power issues, the other things you mentioned management and resources might still be true.
[18:39] <kuldeepdhaka> <kuldeepdhaka> sha1231, one thing that i still need to think is, what to do for non indian buyers. (Indian customized version will not work for them).
[18:39] <kuldeepdhaka> i was talking about this. managing multiple os
[18:40] <sha1231> ah that, there are no easy answers there
[18:40] <sha1231> one thing you could look at is Opensuse factory service
[18:40] <sha1231> it is a build service
[18:41] <sha1231> but that doesn't take care of bugs, tickets, issues etc where every distribution has its software.
[18:42] <sha1231> that is another issue altogether.
[18:43] <kuldeepdhaka> i get a better idea: get one os for everyone (likely Ubuntu or Debian). and whenever someone need a indian-customized-version/service for their organization, we can forward them to you for commercial support
[18:43] <sha1231> kuldeepdhaka: that works for us, no issue with that.
[18:44] <kuldeepdhaka> sha1231, managing one for Indian and one for International user will headache. so this is a simpler and better solution
[18:45] <sha1231> sure, again this is just rough talk, will need to understand the product better and then see how we can support each other
[18:45] <sha1231> as always the devil is in the details.
[18:46] <kuldeepdhaka> sha1231, their nothing such details
[18:46] <kuldeepdhaka> usb device library and software. connect to usb port and done
[18:47] <sha1231> kuldeepdhaka: that is not the issue, the issue is we would need to know the details, understand and also see till where we would be able to commit to a product.
[18:48] <sha1231> in all honesty I can't take such a decision without having approval from the company as such as again resources may have to be allocated for that if it has to be part of our commercial support solution
[18:48] <kuldeepdhaka> sha1231, no problem, neither we need commitment for the product now. we are just sharing ideas. the day we need commitment we will officially get things done
[18:49] <sha1231> yup, that's why I said "rough talk" before.
[18:51] <sha1231> kuldeepdhaka: so was a pleasure talking to you, hope to see more details from your end in a day or two
[18:51] <sha1231> will also discuss the same with the team on my side once we have more details.
[18:51] <kuldeepdhaka> sha1231, me too
[18:52] <kuldeepdhaka> sha1231, i also need to do a proper discuss with the team
[18:52] <sha1231> kuldeepdhaka: if interested, will share the link to the buggy/alpha .iso once its out.
[18:53] <kuldeepdhaka> sha1231, k
[18:54] <sha1231> am here for 5-10 minutes more and then bugging out to sleep.
[18:54] <sha1231> if no urgent queries then we can meet tomorrow here.
[18:56] <kuldeepdhaka> yea, sure. gn
[19:01] <sha1231> so gn as well.
