pvanhooflittle question about edubuntu11:47
pvanhoofis edubuntu usable for schools for very little kids?11:47
pvanhoofAlso note that the computers on a lot of those schools are not always high end computers11:47
pvanhoofoften P2 with +- 100Mb ram11:48
pvanhoofvery little is .. 2 to 6 years of age11:48
pvanhoofAnd 6 to 1211:48
pvanhoofand also note that the teachers aren't at all smart computer users .. 11:49
pvanhooflike .. no shortcut on the desktop means that the computer is broken11:49
pvanhoofAnd I'd like to run a few windows applications (wine)11:49
pvanhoofso .. how can edubuntu help me with that :)?11:49

Zaheergood afternoon :D12:06
JessicaX^Hello12:06
JessicaX^(morning here) lol12:06
Zaheergood day :D more global12:07
Zaheerim having trouble with "make" seems i dont have it :D any ideas how to get it?12:07
JessicaX^FreeBSD?12:08
JessicaX^Or Linux of some form12:08
Zaheernope edubuntu DVD12:08
JessicaX^ohh -> edubuntu is debian12:08
Zaheernope edubuntu is ubuntu12:08
JessicaX^Zaheer: apt-get install build-essential :)12:08
JessicaX^and ubuntu is debian ;)12:08
JessicaX^hence ......12:08
Zaheer:D12:09
JessicaX^That command will fix-er-up12:09
Zaheeroh i forgot dont have inet connection yet thats why i DL the preview DVD12:09
JessicaX^or sudo apt-get install build-essential12:09
JessicaX^Zaheer: It SHOULD be on the DVD12:09
JaneWThis is a preview of our plan for the Edubuntu website: http://www.omma.org.uk/files/temp/Edubunt-site-layout.png thoughts?12:09
JessicaX^If it's Ubuntu, it's there12:09
JessicaX^JaneW: The Orange screws the graphics up12:10
Zaheeri agree12:10
JessicaX^doesnt matter .. they'll keep it :P12:10
JessicaX^It's like "Here's what's going to happen, any comments?"12:11
JessicaX^Also - Icons are a bit hard to see, plus your eye just goes straight to the orange which just hits you in the face12:12
JaneWok12:13
JaneWdo you think it sould be a different shade?12:13
JessicaX^But just leave it as it is12:13
JaneWor not orange at all?12:13
JessicaX^lol, you do what you do12:13
JaneWWe are going for a  loud, vibrant, fun, young, naive look12:13
JessicaX^Not up to me12:13
JessicaX^:/12:13
ZaheerBTW who does the art work for edubuntu. i really dig the the whole cartoonie look... 12:13
JaneWhighvoltage put that together12:14
JaneWZaheer: thanks, we wanted to look less adult and professional than the rest of ubuntu, and keep an element of fun12:14
JessicaX^Whooaaa12:14
JessicaX^The content at the bottom is like SLAP12:14
Zaheerserious?? i met him for the first time on sat. seems like a very nice guy always smiling :)12:15
JaneWZaheer: are you in CT?12:15
Zaheeryes12:15
JessicaX^:/12:15
ZaheerObs to be specific12:15
JaneWZaheer: he's very nice, and yes he is always smiling, happy and helpful12:15
JessicaX^Wait12:15
JessicaX^I though ogra was a girl12:15
JaneWZaheer: cool, I love Obs12:15
JessicaX^ Oliver Grawert <-- Wierd girl's name12:15
JaneWogra is a guy12:15
JessicaX^wow12:16
JessicaX^Hmm, also - I think africans are more worried about being ridden of diseases than wether their software is free12:16
Zaheerjess are you an african?12:17
JessicaX^Nope12:17
JessicaX^But, i've been to Africa12:17
JessicaX^eg - People dying of not having clean water12:17
Zaheerwhere?12:17
JessicaX^For me, water + food > free software12:17
JessicaX^Nambia12:17
JessicaX^also "If we are to lift africa from her circumstances" -> Yep, which we put her in :P12:18
JessicaX^I still think that "make poverty history" is just an excuse for companies to have an investment for when africa is a new westernised country12:19
JessicaX^Lots of big companies give lots of cash ... Sounds awfully like the mid 60/70's where all the businesses gave to africa, they spent it all on guns and other stuff, and then all of a sudden, their debt is in the millions12:20
crimsunJaneW: if I may make a suggestion: the red really screams, and I think the others have mentioned the colors being a bit too vibrant12:21
JessicaX^Can i try making a website thing12:22
JessicaX^I'm so bored12:22
crimsunof course12:22
JessicaX^Or will it be thrown out once i submit it? :P12:22
crimsunI don't see why it wouldn't at least be discussed12:23
JaneWcrimsun: you really wouldn't have liked the previous iteration then... http://www.ossn.co.za/edubuntu/2/12:23
crimsunoh my12:23
JaneWcrimsun: how do you suggest we improve it while still keeping it young and bright and fun?12:23
JessicaX^Oh my word12:23
JessicaX^Am i allowed to say "ouch" ?12:23
JessicaX^Cause that is pure ouch12:24
JessicaX^in any department that comes to mind12:24
JessicaX^:/12:24
JessicaX^Plus, the rounded logo looks like the shape of a bullet12:24
JaneWthis was the first one, but I thought it was too boring and similar to the ubuntu page (nothing new) http://www.ossn.co.za/edubuntu/1/12:24
JessicaX^eek - brown12:25
JessicaX^i mean12:25
JessicaX^YAY brown12:25
JaneWthese are mock ups, which means put together quickly to convey an idea, not perfectly designed or styled.12:25
JessicaX^Sure12:25
JessicaX^Or, changed because i said that? :P12:25
crimsunJaneW: I do like the current layout, but orange and yellow instead of orange and red, please :)12:27
JaneWyellow?12:27
JessicaX^oh no12:27
JessicaX^yellow?12:27
crimsunnot for the entire page12:27
crimsunjust for edubuntu12:27
JaneWcrimsun: OK YOU MEAN THE 2 LIGHTER SHADES IN THE LOGO12:28
JaneWoops sorry about caps lock12:28
JessicaX^Wow12:28
crimsunI don't know how relevant this is, but have you considered accessiblity for kids with color blindness?12:28
JaneWcrimsun: I didn't think of that at all, good point12:29
JessicaX^Hell no12:29
crimsunI can't seem to speell12:29
JessicaX^There are no color blind kids12:29
JessicaX^What are you talking about12:29
JaneWcrimsun:  is text on red and issue?12:29
crimsunred in general is an issue12:29
JessicaX^JaneW: If you think it isn't, it isnt12:29

JessicaX^JaneW: Yes12:32
JessicaX^It's called COLOUR BLINDNESS12:32
JessicaX^Or did you already know that12:33
crimsunJaneW: no, it's fairly rare (it affects the fewest males with color blindness). I would just suggest that the red be kept to a minimum.12:33
ograJessicaX^, your comments are sooo helpful today again12:33
JessicaX^Thanks12:33
JessicaX^why does she ask12:33
JessicaX^she'll just do whatever anyways12:33
JaneWcrimsun: ok noted, I'll ask the guys to look at it12:33
ograbtw, did anybody notice ? we hunted down #12942 yesterday night/this morning :)12:34

ograJaneW, timeout on frist boot12:34
JaneWogra: great!12:34
ograyep :-D12:34
JessicaX^By the way -> Does edubuntu take as long to boot up as ubuntu?12:35
JessicaX^CAuse i tried it -> the desktop looks identical o_O12:35
danielsno, there's patches in it to make it boot roughly twice as fast12:35
danielsgiven that they're totally different distributions and all12:35
danielsogra: hi.  i'm just here out of a morbid sense of curiousity.12:36
JessicaX^Uhh? They12:36
ograhehe12:36
JessicaX^They are? wow12:36

JaneWdaniels: enjoy the show ;)12:36
danielsedubuntu forked from ubuntu years ago12:36
fabbioneyeah12:36
JaneWdaniels: *thwap*12:36
danielsthe main issue was boot time.  ubuntu refused to take all of edubuntu's patches that make it boot faster.12:36
JessicaX^Wow12:36
fabbionedaniels and i did a lot of code rewrite to optimize X over network12:36
JessicaX^For YEARS of work12:36
JessicaX^It's not that impressive12:36
JessicaX^;)12:36
danielsfor about twelve years of work, neither are you :P12:37
fabbionealso the kernel is way smaller to optimize tft download size12:37
ograJessicaX^, hey, we even can boot backwards :) click System->Log Out and select shutdown (do it now !)12:37
JessicaX^I'm twelve?12:37
JessicaX^Wow12:37
JessicaX^didnt know 12:37
JessicaX^:o12:37

ogradont forget sudo in front ;)12:56
hno-livecdI guess JaneW might already asked about this in here: http://www.omma.org.uk/files/temp/Edubunt-site-layout.png feedback?12:57
hno-livecdso far we have that the red is a bit too dominating12:58
hno-livecd(noted)12:58
Zaheerogra = indeed12:58
ajmitch_hno-livecd: how well will this expand to 1280x1024, for example?12:58
Zaheeri feel that the orange is abit too much as well...12:58
crimsunyeah, I was just going to ask about the spacing in the right bar12:58
ograhno-livecd, and the orange should probably have a gradient... lighter on the left to not swallow the ubuntu logo12:59
ajmitch_the ubuntu logo in the right hand side gets lost in the orange12:59
ajmitch_as ogra says :)12:59
JaneWhno-livecd: we had a lively debate with a troll about it a short while ago12:59
hno-livecdor some sort of shadow under the logo12:59
JaneWhno-livecd: be glad you weren't here12:59
hno-livecdJaneW: I'll check the logs :)01:00
JaneWajmitch_: yes, that's why we had to put the edubuntu logo on white01:00
ograhno-livecd, or the bright glow the other ubuntu logo on the wiki has 01:00
hno-livecdyepp, I'll play with options01:00
hno-livecdcrimsun: what about the spacing?01:00
JaneWhno-livecd: I like bold colours rather than gradient for this specific purpose01:01
crimsunhno-livecd: I was thinking there might need to be more space between each section (quick links, related projects, news highlights)01:01
hno-livecdajmitch_: it should adapt to any screensize 01:01
crimsunhno-livecd: but that's probably tied to ajmitch_'s question01:01
JaneWhno-livecd: we can always have a white background to the partner projects section can't we?01:01
ajmitch_hno-livecd: so the orange bar will right-align, the white content area will expand?01:02
hno-livecdcrimsun: sounds good. It does need some tweaking01:02
hno-livecdJaneW: yeah, that might look good01:02
hno-livecdajmitch_: yes01:03
hno-livecdI don't have the link to Jonathan's original ATM, but that does expand01:03
JaneWhttp://www.ossn.co.za/edubuntu/4/01:04
ajmitch_ok, so that has the edubuntu logo on the right01:05

ograi'll have to revisit the code for standard bugfixing ...01:19
JaneWogra: is it still taking a lot of your time? and did Mark accept your changes (3 buttons etc)01:19
ograi fixed gcompris over the weekend... its gotten very good01:19
JaneWogra: GREAT!01:20
ograJaneW, makr ordered them01:20

ogra(600icons were added to the code)01:22

ograbut until now i  got nearly everything i needed from him 01:23
=== JaneW may be scared to see mdz in Montreal!

ograajmitch_, no e-ticket ? 01:25
JaneWogra: we need to campaign/trawl for more dev help at UBZ don't you think?01:25
ajmitch_ogra: nope01:25
JaneWogra: it's not fair for it to all be on your head, and then have so many blocks01:26
ajmitch_all paper tickets01:26
ograJaneW, we'll get it... i'm in #ltsp since yesterday... they all like to help...01:26
JaneWGREAT01:26
ajmitch_JaneW: I thought I'd help with moodle so that we still have a living ogra at UBZ01:26
JaneWogra: then you can be chief whip, and refuse to accept thier packages if they are late ;)01:26
ograJaneW, but i'd love to give away even more parts since i didnt do much on ubuntu during this cycle..01:26
JaneWajmitch_: orga has been a legend, and deserves praise01:27
ograheh01:27
ajmitch_he does01:27
ajmitch_he deserves rest, too01:27
ajmitch_which I suspect he'll appreciate more than praise by release day01:27
ogranot really... i was very beadly organized in the beginning... mdz will agree on that... but i think he also sees my improvement :)01:27
JaneWthing is ppl think edubuntu didn't achieve enough so we are fighting an uphill battle :(01:27
JaneWogra: yes you really need rest! I hope you are looking after yourself01:27
ograJaneW, suse is :)01:28
ograshe cares for everything here (lots of animals in the house, my food etc)01:28
crimsunfor a second I thought you meant novell-suse01:28
ograand she swings the whip before i fall asleep on my keyboard 01:28
JaneWogra: yes we had a slow start, but it was also a learning curve, and they should have antcipated that, also we lost many weeks after UDU with no one owning edubuntu01:28
ajmitch_she is very good to you :)01:29
JaneWogra: nice01:29
ograJaneW, yup... but i could have done better..01:29

=== ogra thinks he should call suse by her irc nick (susus) to avoid the novell confusion
=== ajmitch_ wonders how much of wwwconfig-common is safe to steal for moodle
ograajmitch_, ask pitti about postgres db creation...01:33
ogranobody can explain it better01:34
ajmitch_ogra: do you want mysql creation as well?01:34
ograpeople will want it i guess...01:34
=== ajmitch_ can do both, since he runs both on his home box :)
ograi personally would be fine with postgres... but we would make a big step away from debian with it01:34
ograand i guess users will moan about it01:35
ajmitch_they certainly will01:35
ajmitch_I'd moan if only postgres was supported when the code can do both01:35
=== ogra cant belive mdz's comment for mediawiki after he refused to include it on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMainInclusionQueue
ograthats unbelivable...01:36
ograhe rejected it completely...01:36
ajmitch_I guess moodle will get the same fate01:36
ogranow he writes "needs integration earlier in a release cycle"01:37
ajmitch_yeah :-/01:37
ograajmitch_, he said its not supportable at alll01:37
ajmitch_it's something you were counting on having?01:37
ograwhen the report was agrred by pitti there was plenty of time... but due to his and pittis objections i dropped it01:38
ogranow it looks like i'd have put up the report to late... thas weird01:38

Zaheermr voltage are the tuxlabs strictly for schools?03:08
jsgotangcooh its a turnkey solution indeed03:08
KarnaughZaheer: educational institutions, yes. who else would need a tux lab?03:17
Zaheerwell i know of a voluntary organization that empower the less fortunate with skills such as computers, but these are not school kids its more adults.03:20
Zaheeri was thinking of approaching them with the idea of using edubuntu to educate those peple.03:20
Zaheerreason why i asked was that i know the tuxlab project focuses more on schools.03:21
jsgotangcoZaheer: you can just use ubuntu itself if you want an ltsp environment really03:22
Zaheerno i would like to support edubuntu in everyway that i can :D03:23
ograKarnaugh, small companies that want to save money for hardware through using thin clients ? municipalities etc that want centralized management ?03:23
ograindeed they probably would rather use plain ltsp on top of a "non child branded" OS03:24
Karnaughogra: err, my understanding of the "tuxLab" concept is donation of linux powered machines, to educational institutions03:24
ograKarnaugh, its a ltsp solution with added edu software and artwork for younger people...03:24
ograif you take away the edu apps and the specialized artwork, you have a perfect solution for small offices etc03:25
Karnaughhttp://www.tuxlab.org.za/03:25
jsgotangcoZaheer: with a client, i just use Ubuntu with ltsp really...03:26
Zaheercool, still have to figure out how to do that tho', been messing with the workstations only.03:27
highvolt1geZaheer: the model is designed with schools in mind, but we are also looking at installing in prisons, and have installed at libraries as well.03:27
Zaheerwell let me approach them first and see what they say.03:29

jsgotangcoJaneW: I can source over to some contacts from the local print media as well to check the costing04:33

macgyver2Okay...guess I'll have to read more :)05:29
ograsince the ltsp server is our default install, the default install contains everything needed... this is about 2.4 to 2.6 GB05:29

ografine10:14
ograi'd love to have some automatic selection for the sound packages based on the installation locale but i doubt that will mak it before release in the installer10:15
ograits a bit complicated to change...10:15
yvesCprofiles works fine too. All seems ok.10:16
yvesCsounds. 10:16
yvesCIf gcompris is in the default install, you could put gcompris_sound_locale in langage_pack ?10:17
ogranope, since i'd have to change langpacks for ubuntu...10:18
ograthat not feasable10:18
yvesClangpack are the same for ubuntu...10:18
ograyup10:19
ograi only can do it in the installer10:19

ograi think for now i'll put a note in the install notes and install -en by default...10:20
ografor next release there will be some intelligence in the installer10:20
yvesCok10:20
yvesCgcompris should check that better too. For now there is just a dialog in click_on_letter if voices are missing.10:22
bdoinat some point, it would be great to discuss on how to integrate well all eduapp altogether by using some common api that makes user management and reporting easy.10:22

ograits planned for dapper...10:22
