Mark this day, an example of destiny. Only the backbenchers of the BD-LFS group met up today. Somehow the good boys didn't show up. Robin Bhai had leg pain due to dancing rehearsals. Kabir Bhai had set foot for the meet up only to find himself hurt in the leg and returning home. We almost thought today should be announced "Leg Injury Day" but didn't do so because Tapan bhai didn't show up without reporting any leg injury. All in all we just had one mentor #R!NE to lead us to the same level as the regular good guys.
We ended up doing the things that #Hackathon-2 had left us with. Me and RINE were not present in that due to personal issues. So, I just made the best use of this day to improve my knowledge and sync up with the rest of the group.
Initially we had problems regarding VM setup which was almost dragging us towards failure. But somehow, by the hand of God we recovered from that state after me, Rahid Bhai and Mamun Bhai managed to build the systems up. We ended up creating the LFS system's base camp for compilation and tool sets. It was fun and in between Rine was helping us understand the concepts that were in play with what we were doing.
We shared a lot about our experiences with different OS setups. I liked the way we shared knowledge about shells. Came to know about some of those from Mamun bhai.
Particularly, the venue this time was Sphinx Corporations. Shihan Bhai's new software company. We had a great venue indeed since the sitting arrangements allowed us to really enjoy the mash up. The lunch was fun too since there was great gossip and knowledge sharing. All in all it was awesome, for the Backbenchers ;p

1. Tafhim (Me)
2. Rine (Rine Toufique Anam)
3. Mamun bhai (Abdullah al Mamun)
4. Rahid bhai (Rahid Hasan)
5. Aman bhai (Md. Aman Ullah)
Topics covered:
1. Preparing LFS Partition
2. Setting up LFS usergroup and account
3. Compiled BinUtils (First phase)
4. Compiled GCC (First phase)
Issues:
1. VBox machine setup [20 GB Partition, 2 GB swap, 8 GB Host OS, 10 GB LFS Partition
2. Dependency resolving issue during G++, GAWK, BISON installation. Fixed by choosing an Australia based server. Even though using "Choose the best server" solved the slow download issue but it doesn't always choose a repo that can resolve all dependencies. We tried different repos and had zero dependency issues of packages using Australian servers.
3. In case of slow download speed of packages you should change your repo and choose a good one using Synaptic
4. We primarily came to a unified decision to arrange the next Hackathon atleast 1 and 1/2 months from today so that all of us can complete the LFS book before that.
Target of the next Hackathon (3): Start [B/C]LFS
