ogratook me quite some time i didnt have yesterday to fix that12:31
JaneWogra: erk... :(12:31
ograjop12:31
JaneWogra: does he have any valid points?12:31
ogranot really...12:31
ograWin32 apps were dissed by us because of license hell you get the user in....12:32
ograschooltoo is obligatory, why should we use something commercial ??12:32
ogracontent filtering is postponed...12:32
ograand i have no idea what IncumbentMarketOperators should be12:32
ograJaneW, everything done on my side.... all pieces are in the archive at the right place, all we can do now is wait and test the CD (and probably fix remaining hidden stuff)01:44

ograonly installer.... its way to huge for a liveCD :(03:28
JaneWogra: ok so just an installer?03:28
JaneWokie03:28
ograits all arches03:28
JaneWdon;t want to lie in the announcement :P03:29
ograkamion fixed the powerpc CD already03:29
ograbut the testing takes a lot longer...03:29
=== jsgotangco [n=jsg@info1-171.info.com.ph] has joined #edubuntu
JaneWoh cool03:29
ograso i'd say we announce after i386 is tested and mention that amd64 and ppc are there too or something03:29
ogramdz said i should ignore ppc for now (not knowing that kamion would have a fix ready in time indeed...)03:30

JaneWok.04:07
JaneWogra: please check your mail...04:07
JaneWmy attempt at a preview announcement04:07
JaneWcan you fill in the technical bullet point please, and check for any glaring errors..?04:07
JaneWogra: just noticed this... distro.watch@msa.hinet.net has been successfully subscribed to edubuntu-devel... interesting...04:10
ograoh04:10
ograi wouldnt expect us to be in the higher ranks though :)04:11
ograwe have a very specific audience :)04:11
ograreleases.edubuntu.com wont work :)04:12
ograhttp://releases.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/ will i guess...04:13
JaneWcan you edit?04:17
JaneWogra: we'll be top of distrowatch soon... maybe below ubuntu though ;)04:17
ograhaha04:17
ograyup, doing just now, i'm just trying to not break the formatting :)04:18
ograi havent much to add :)04:20
ograsince we inherit everything from ubuntu anyway04:21
ograand you already covered the thin client stuff04:21
JaneWogra: that's why I left that stuff in... I think we should trim those lists slightly if it's not a huge selling point for us and focus more strongly on our specifics...04:22
JaneWogra: I based my messgae on Matt's, so we shouldn't plagarise his list entrely ;)04:22
JaneWI did try to change as much as possible and make it more relevant to us..04:22
JaneWogra; I also added a wiki page for preview release feedback... linked for the How can I help section, under the testing line...04:23
JaneWs/for/from04:24

bdoinI am only providing software to edubuntu. do you need help11:36
EricVno that just to have an idea of what you say here11:37
EricVi will maybe use Edubuntu for Africa, but I'm asking if we will have a complete version in french...11:38
EricVdo you know if the actual design and software are close of the official release ?11:39
bdoinno idea. which part of africa you're after11:40
bdoinyou are in an NGO11:41
EricVwell, we will go in benin, burkina faso, cameroun, mali and maroc11:41

EricVhttp://www.Wedus.org11:50
EricVthat's a concept and not really a software11:51
EricVwe are customising a Linux to set up automaticaly a local web server11:51
EricVon this web server, we will put a portal dedicated to the people from 6th to Terminale (french scholar system)11:52
EricVyou can see on this Visio: http://wedus.org/reseau_wedus.png our network11:53
EricVthe big problem in africa is their network ! impossible for a school to be connected 24H a day to Internet with a 56K (too expensive, in not really easy to use)11:54
EricV(and not really to use)11:54
EricVso every day, an XML file is sent by Internet with all the updates made on a local server based in africa to the central server based in paris11:54
EricVand this central server will send new datas to the local server11:55
bdoinI see.11:56
EricVthe local server will be connected only 5 minutes a day to internet, and they can have exchange with other people from the world, share lessons with others children, get the last news from LCI or CNN11:56
bdoindo you know the NTBF organisation, they are also working with the birkina11:56
EricVi didnt know this organisation, but i'm reading their web site11:58
bdointhey support several scools with computers there11:59
EricVmaybe we will contact them, because we didnt choose our partner for the next year12:00
EricVthey have a good article about elearning12:00
EricVthat's good that try e-learning, in some country like Benin (wich is richer) they dont speak about that, because thats really to expensive12:01
