=== mhz checks logs just in case, for jelkner tranquility
JaneWogra_ibook: :P01:04
kjcoleJaneW, He was disguised as ogra_ibook.01:04
JaneWogra_ibook: why you making me type so much more with the _ibook part? ;)01:04
ogra_ibookthis machine also highlights on "ogra" ;)01:05
JaneWok, what's news? I am a bit out of the loop and am struggling to catch up this week...01:05
ogra_ibookedubuntu-desktop should be installable again by today :)01:05
JaneWogra: good them ogra you'll if you don't mind ...01:05
ogra_ibookthe ltsp sound stuff is in the archive and fully implemented since yesterday01:05
JaneWogra: can you give a summary of what's happened since the week before Christmas please?01:06
ogra_ibooki worked on the several ltsp tasks ... the ubuntu innstaller broke completely before christmas dur to the second stage disappearing01:07
ogra_ibookthis should be solved now01:07
=== flint [n=flint@69-164-122-221.sbtnvt.adelphia.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
ogra_ibookas well as the several *-desktop packages were uninstallable01:07
ogra_ibookmost of my work during the holidays and the week before went into powerpc support01:08
JaneWogra: ok so how are we looking schedule wise?01:08
ogra_ibookso we have working ppc now (pending upload)01:08
ogra_ibooksound is in, parts of the low memory stuff are ready 01:08
JaneWogra: also did you see the e-mail re Tollef *maybe* looking at TC Local deivices?01:08
ogra_ibookyes, that would be a nice task for the sprint01:09
JaneWogra: also I noticed a lot of your specs were pushed back to drafting :/01:09
ogra_ibookbut we're past UVF at the sprint already 01:09
JaneWogra: think Tollef could do it? and in time for Dapper?01:09
ogra_ibooknope, sound is implemented01:09
JaneWogra: right01:09
ogra_ibookJaneW, only the dbus parts01:09
ogra_ibookthe ltsp stuff is for my desk01:09
ogra_ibook(local devices)01:10
JaneWogra: have you set the sound spec to implemented yet?01:10
ogra_ibooknot yet, i had to clearify something with pitti before (which i did 30min ago)01:10
ogra_ibookit will be set to implemented today01:10
ogra_ibookthe faster startup spec is approved and partially implemented01:11
ogra_ibookerr01:11
JaneWogra: ok we'll clarify the statuses at the dapper meeting tomorrow and set accordingly...01:11
ogra_ibookthat was memory usage, sorry01:11
ogra_ibookthe faster startup spec needs a minor change01:11
flintkinda like watching a tennis match so far...  Startup time is not as vital as local storage or sound even.01:12
ogra_ibookall three will be dione before UVF01:12
ogra_ibookflint, local device support is and always was a low priority spec01:12
JaneWogra: what's your gut feel atm? better that for breezy?01:12
JaneWs/that/than01:12
ogra_ibookfaster startup always was my highest priority01:12
ogra_ibookyup, sure01:13
JaneWi.e. are we on track and ready to deliver to required milstones?01:13
flintwhy?  in a classroom environment, the desktops are only started once...01:13
ogra_ibookeven if we dont make the device support for dapper it will be a lot better01:13
JaneWwe were the 'black' sheep last time01:13
ogra_ibookmdz knows that01:13
flintJaneW, this time we can be the grey sheep!!!01:13
ogra_ibookflint, i dont set the priority of the specs01:14
JaneWflint: I am getting there believe me...01:14
flintand I never figured out who did.  all I can do is comment.01:14
ogra_ibookflint, and the other specs did eat a lot of time, especially the low memory stuff 01:14
mhzflint: but that would also spend more 'energy' and if so, it's less environment friendly ;)01:14
ogra_ibookflint, mdz sets the ppriority for me01:14
flintthe memory was actually important.  I know, and I suppose I can go and wine at him :^)01:15
JaneWyes priorities are set by management, and at this latish stage we can not be arguing them anymore01:15
jelknerwhen will we know if local devices will make dapper?01:15
JaneWwe can however keep trying to achieve as much as possible, allowing us to GET to the low prio items.01:15
jelknerthe reason i'm asking is that our loco team is working with a school to setup a lab01:15
ogra_ibookjelkner, its unlikely they will make it unless we get an exeption from UVF for ltsp01:16
JaneWjelkner: I sent 2 e-mails this morning, I will let you know if/when I get a response from mdz01:16
jelknerthanks!01:16
ogra_ibooki rather want to make the stuff thats partially there now to work 100% than having all of it at 70%01:16
JaneWjelkner: someone has offered to *maybe* pick it up, but he also has other priorities so once again it's mdz's call01:16
JaneWand as CTO it's his prerogative01:16
ogra_ibookand he will unlikely do the ltsp side of it01:17
JaneWogra: how much work is that by your estimation?01:17
JaneWogra: and if Tollef can do the rest how feasible is it that you would even get to the LTSP side?01:17
ogra_ibookJaneW, i doubt its doable in UVF time 01:18
JaneWFWIW I agree that it's required and pretty important from a functionality POV01:18
JaneWdamn01:18
ogra_ibookif we can get an exception until feature freeze it will be fine01:18
mhzJaneW: what does FWIW stand for?01:19
ogra_ibookwe naever made any promises for this spec01:19
jelknerJaneW: from the field, I have to repeat that without local devices, we don't have edubuntu01:19
jelknerfor a lot of folks, anyway01:19
jelknerwe have a school in dc that wants edubuntu01:19
jelknerbut not without local devices01:19
jelknerno way to save data01:20
ogra_ibookjelkner, you repeated *several* times that we wont have any stand in the field without low memory support01:20
flintJaneW, I have asked this before, but what url has the priority list printed?01:20
jelknerogra_ibook, that's true too01:20
jelknerfor many labs we have running classic ltsp now01:20
ogra_ibookjelkner, my day only has 24h01:20
jelkneri understand01:20
jelknerso you need help01:20
jelkneri don't mean to be a pain01:21

JaneWFWIW = For What It's Worth01:21
ogra_ibookyes, and i dont want to support a broken or partially broken implementation for 5 years ...01:21
jelknerso the real issue than, is whether edubuntu is a priority at all01:21
ogra_ibookeverything we do during this release cycle needs to be 100% and rock solid01:22
flintHere is what your direction has been set to:01:22
flint1. Low Memory01:22
flint2. Fast Startup01:22
flint3. Sound 01:22
flint4. Local Devices01:22
mhzJaneW: thx, kjcole had just told me01:22
flintHere is what is needed01:22
flint1. Low Memory01:22
flint2. Local Devices01:22
flint3. Sound 01:22
flint4. Fast Startup01:22
ogra_ibookflint, but thats not the reality01:22
jelkneri agree with flint01:22
JaneWogra: is fast startup linked to ubuntu faster startup?01:23
jelknerand sound is done01:23
JaneWin which case I understand the priority01:23
ogra_ibookyes01:23
JaneWif not, I don't really....01:23
flintogra_ibook, I am merely making the observation.  I believe that this is the facts of this prioritization01:23
ogra_ibook10-20% are done by Keybuks changes01:23
jelknerfast startup was never a major concern of anyone i've worked with01:23
JaneWOk, well decreasing the startup time is a major goal of ubuntu for dapper, we can't mess with that01:24
jelknerat all edubuntu sites running here, the machines run all the time01:24
ogra_ibookJaneW, getting down from 2minutes + startup time is a very important thing01:24
jelknerlibraries, community centers, schools01:24
flinthang on, there are no rank orders on the priority list beyond "low" "medium" and "high" 01:24
JaneWok, so you may be booting once a day maybe? not for each lesson or session?01:24
jelknerit doesn't matter how long it takes to boot (well, an hour would be unacceptable ;-)01:24
ogra_ibookJaneW, the regressions in ltsp are totally different fromm ubuntu itself, thus its only 10-20% i can get from keybuks changes01:25
JaneWfint: and essential01:25
jelknernone of the intances in dc boot more than once a day01:25
jelknermost less than that01:25
JaneWogra: what's your personal opinion here? which is more important?01:25
flintogra_ibook, there is no numeric rank order of priorities, is there jane?01:25
JaneWflint: no01:25
ogra_ibookJaneW, all other stuff apart from local devices, since it wont be 100% stable and ready 01:26
flintJaneW, i grant you essential...(and existential :^)01:26
jelknerwithout low memory support, we could not upgrade from k12ltsp to edubuntu in 2 existing labs01:26
=== Hobbsee [n=Hobbsee@CPE-144-136-118-222.nsw.bigpond.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
jelknerwithout local devices, most folks don't want edubuntu01:26
flintnote that in a classroom you boot the silly workstations never if they are working correctly.01:27
JaneWMithrandir: ping01:27
ogra_ibookJaneW, imho shipping all the other parts 100% reliable is more important than having local deviaces in and producing a hell lot of bugreports we cant fix during the next 5 years01:27
kjcoleflint, she meant "essential", "high", "medium", "low".01:27
ogra_ibookjelkner, thats not true01:27
JaneWMithrandir: sorry to bother, but can you comment on ThinclientLocal Devices please? we are in an Edubuntu meeting...01:28
ogra_ibookjelkner, we have a ton of happy users that work fine with the breezy implementation which doesnt have any addons at all01:28
jelknerogra_ibook, what's not true01:28
JaneWogra: will it be very buggy if implemented?01:28
JaneWogra: was that the reason for not prioritising? Forgive me I don;t know the technical details here...01:28
ogra_ibookJaneW, thats hard to predict, but it willl take a lot of time to get it right01:28
jelknerogra_ibook, we would have *way* more if we had local devices01:28
MithrandirJaneW: pong01:28
jelkneryou can't say it is not true just because we have x number of happy users01:29
ogra_ibookJaneW, thats a question only mdz can answer01:29
mhzI understand jelkner and flint points very well, and agrre with them on the fact that local device support is very 'convincing' issue for modern end-users. But can't the dc instances start using edubuntu and wait 6 months or less?01:29
JaneWMithrandir: hi, thanks.01:29
JaneWMithrandir: sorry to bother, but can you comment on ThinclientLocal Devices please? we are in an Edubuntu meeting...01:29
MithrandirJaneW: I think it's doable for dapper, but it requires somebody to have time for it allocated.01:29
ogra_ibookjelkner, and you cant say we dont get users because local devices are missing ;)01:29
jelknerwhat about the 3*x number of users we don't have because we don't have local devices?01:29
jelkneri know we are missing users because of this01:29
flintkjcole, gotcha so the rank order contrast would look like this, Here is what your direction has been set to:01:29
flintessential. Low Memory01:29
flinthigh. Fast Startup01:29
flintmedium. Sound 01:29
flintlow. Local Devices01:29
JaneWMithrandir: sorry to put you on the spot, but I am trying to establish if it is in any way possible to get the spec implemented suuccesfully and entirely and stability for dapper01:29
flintHere is what is needed01:29
flintessential. Low Memory01:29
flinthigh. Local Devices01:30
flintmedium. Sound 01:30
flintlow. Fast Startup01:30
MithrandirJaneW: I think it is.01:30
jelkneri have potential users ready for me to setup labs, but not without a way for there students to save data01:30
jelkneri'm also catching a bit of hell from current users who keep asking me "when can we save data?"01:30
ogra_ibookMithrandir, i'm fine with putting time into the ltsp side if someone cares for dbus and the g-v-m side01:30
JaneWMithrandir: are you proposing doing the LTSP parts as well?01:30
jelkneri keep telling them "patients, its coming"01:30
jelknerthat's why i'm such a pain around this issue01:31
JaneWjelkner: is it a hospital?01:31
juliuxjelkner, at the university here we have sun thinclients and there is no local device support availiable, because the admins have disabled it01:31
MithrandirJaneW: but it requires somebody who understands dbus &c to do it, it's probably tricky to get correct.01:31
jelknerjuliux: yes, students have network storage01:31
ogra_ibookjelkner, why do you do that ? i told you long time ago its not reliably fixed yet01:31
jelknerso local devices are not a problem01:31
JaneWMithrandir: right, and it's mdz's call whether we can even try...01:31
jelknercommon in university settings01:31
flintthe folks who use this thing have a perception of the priority order that contrasts the project management.01:32
jelknernot common in elemantary schools, libraries, community centers01:32
juliuxjelkner, but not everybody need it01:32
JaneWflint: huh?01:32
MithrandirJaneW: yes.  My out-of-the-air guess is a week to get it working somewhat, double that or so to get it working nicely.01:32
jelknerjuliux: i never said everyone needed it01:32
jelkneri don't, for example01:32
jelkneri did say most do01:32
jelknerand the communities i feel we are trying to reach need it most01:33
flintJaneW, local storage is a higher priortiy for the users than say sound.01:33
ogra_ibookMithrandir, do you agree asking for a UVF exception and extend the time until feature freeze would be enough01:33
JaneWMithrandir: ok, we'll take it further with mdz. Thanks.01:33
flintby users i mean line teachers in a classroom.01:33
Mithrandirogra_ibook: yes, it's not something which can be done before UVF.01:33
ogra_ibookMithrandir, thats what i would go for ...01:33
JaneWflint: no not really01:33
ogra_ibookoki01:33
MithrandirJaneW: if I were to do it, I would prefer to do the whole delivery, since coordinating with oneself is less work than coordinating with somebody else.  You might need to fight with mdz/Kamion about taking time away from working on live cd/installer stuff.01:34
juliuxflint, i think sound is more neede as local device support01:34
kjcoleStating the obvious perhaps, but here in the US, there are enough computers that students (and others) will need access to their materials away from the lab.  Especially if they are doing "home" homework.01:34
JaneWMithrandir: erk, isn't liveCD installer more NB?01:34
ogra_ibooki thought it was taking time from network auth 01:34
flintjuliux, actually the last thing you need in a classroom is more sounds :^)01:34
JaneWflint: head phones01:35
MithrandirJaneW: I'm hacking on some not-live installer bits to get better keyboard support into the live cd01:35
flintJaneW, or another think for the child to loose/mis-adjust01:35
juliuxflint, but you also dont want that the students can bring there one programms on a usb stick01:35
MithrandirJaneW: I'm not touching espresso, though I think I shall look at it at some point.01:35
juliuxflint, i am a student and students love it to attact the lan01:35
JaneWMithrandir / ogra: could you 2 have a word with mdz if you see him later, and we can discuss again in the Dapper meeting tomorrow morning?01:35
jelknerjuliux: why not?01:35
MithrandirJaneW: mdz is around now01:36
ogra_ibookJaneW, yup01:36
flintjuliux, actually, if the kid shows up with the game he just wrote in python, we get down on our knees and praise god.01:36
flintis mdz up?01:36
ogra_ibookhe's awake ? 01:36
JaneWisn't it a bit early still?01:36
flintI will call him and get him on the channel is you all want01:36
ogra_ibookhavent seen a trace01:36
jelknerpeople must have a way to save data, simple as that01:36
juliuxwebspace?01:37
flintit is 4:49 local time Los Angeles01:37
JaneWok anyway we have discussed this long enough here, we'll speak to mdz, and let you know what the verdict is.01:37
jelknerjuliux: fine for privileded users, not fine for those who don' t have it01:37
JaneWwhat's next?01:37
juliuxjelkner, most have it01:37
jelknernot true01:37
jelknerperhaps in your setting01:37
juliuxjelkner, every student have one01:37
ogra_ibookthe edubuntu-artwork package is ready so far01:38
jelknernot here01:38
juliuxjelkner, also in us01:38
JaneWogra: great, you still need artwork though right?01:38
ogra_ibookit will hit the archive today or tomorrow with the age selection built in01:38
jelkneri am in us01:38
JaneWogra: and will you have several selections after install? as discussed previously?01:38
ogra_ibookbut indeed i need some artwork to put in :)01:38
JaneWogra: great thanks01:38
jelknerand most students do not have their own web space01:38
ogra_ibookJaneW, sudo dpkg-reconfigure edubuntu-artwork will give you 3 choices 01:39
juliuxjelkner, but webspace from the university01:39
mhzogra: there are some backgrounds almost ready to be tested/used 01:39
jelknerjuliux: yes, university students do01:39
mhz1 for each age selection01:39
ogra_ibookmhz, i have to wait for something official01:39
jelknernot elementary students, community folks, etc01:39
mhz(they're supposed to be ready by friday afternoon)01:39
mhzogra: ahhhhh01:40
JaneWmhz: are you going to put them on the art site?01:40
mhzJaneW: of course :)01:40
ogra_ibooki'm happy to add community stuff now, but dont be disappointed if it gets replaced by something01:40
JaneWogra: but I think we'll only get one official wall paper, for the default install01:40
mhzogra: i know the drill ;)01:40
JaneWogra / mhz: we can and should have community contributed stuff too01:40
ogra_ibookJaneW, i still have no answer from silbs about that01:40
ogra_ibookJaneW, i asked if we get one or three designs01:41
JaneWmhz: yes we will need to explicitly run them by the powers that be this time though, so avoid a lynching ;)01:41
mhzJaneW / ogra : we are working on GTK theme drafts 01:41
JaneWs/so/to01:41
JaneWmhz: YAY :)01:41
flintok, i just talked to mdz.  01:41
ogra_ibookmhz, we want to kepp the default theme from ubuntu ... 01:41
ogra_ibookmhz, at least for the gnome desktop 01:42
flintthe deal here is that it is not a priority issue.  01:42
kjcolejuliux, Universities have had computers for centuries, and are generally well ahead of what the K-12 crowd has in the way of computers, network access, tech support people, etc.  One look at the apps labeled "education" in Edubuntu tells you who the current target audience is, and it ain't university students...01:42
mhzogra: okis, I long ago understood there will be no 'coordination' with 'central work'01:42
mhz:(01:42
flinthe feels that no one has figured out how to do local devices to his satisfaction.01:42
ogra_ibook(gtk that is)01:42
ogra_ibookmhz, thats not true 01:43
flintbtw do not call him again, he is "entertaining"...01:43
ogra_ibookmhz, but changing the gtk theme was never in scope01:43
mhzogra: it is and you just told you have not 'heard' from slbs01:43
mhzogra:  ? IIRC, we said (looong ago) "we need 3 themes"01:44
ogra_ibookmhz, nope, its not, we can ship a lot of community stuff01:44
ogra_ibookmhz, its just that the default will be a professionally designed one01:44
mhzogra: yes, we can ship but we are not working "coordinated" with slbs, are we?01:44
ogra_ibookand i dont know yet if all three defaults will be or only one01:44
ogra_ibookbut beyond that, we can put a ton of wallpapers into the artwork package or additional stuff to select from01:45
mhzyes, thats cool, i am not complaining :) I am just saying that I have no clue what slbs and the designers are working on01:45
JaneWogra: do you think so? I woiuld think it should look a bit distinct...01:45
mhzno roadmap or anything01:45
ogra_ibookmhz, silbs works with an art agency01:45
ogra_ibookmhz, there is the dapper release schedule ...01:45
ogra_ibookit should have artwork deadlines01:46
mhzogra: heheh, yes, I know about the shcedule01:46
mhzbut i'll put it this way: Here, in this meeting we are talking as Edubuntu community to work on stuff or help01:46
ogra_ibookdont care what silbs and the designers are working on, just go on with your stuff ... as i said, i think we'll have enough space on the Cd this time to add artwork01:46
mhzI have never heard of slbs plans on design01:46
JaneWflint: you saying it's not worth us talking to mdz about the issue?01:47
flintJaneW, No.  Read carefully.01:47
mhzogra: exactly, I appreciate you can have some room for artwork, hence we are working on 3 gtk drafts01:47
JaneWflint he feels that no one has figured out how to do local devices to his satisfaction.01:48
mhzogra: but i am just saying "I know we (commnity) dont work in coordination with 'official hired artwork plans'01:48
flintJaneW, yes, exactly! Zimmerman says that the current spec is incomplete01:48
ogra_ibookmhz, the -artwork package isnt prepared to handle gtk themes and was never intended to do so01:48
mhzogra: ooops, i didnt know that01:48
flintif the specification for local devices was complete we could move forward.01:48
jelkneri gotta run guys, same time next week?01:48
ogra_ibookmhz, thats why i said the above :)01:49
flintindeed elkner, do not give up on what you need to teach.01:49
mhzand then, JaneW and ogra, what should i understand by "we need 3 age-splittted-artwork" ?01:49
ogra_ibookflint, Mithrandir knows how to implement it ... we'd have to sort it in a meeting with mdz01:49
ogra_ibookmhz, the artwork package will offer to select one of three age categories01:50
ogra_ibook(post install)01:50
mhzogra: okis, and what will that include? only wallpapers?01:51
ogra_ibookinvolving icons, splash and wallpaper01:51
mhzahh01:51
flintogra_ibook, can Mithrandir write a specification to satisfy mdz?01:51
mhzhmmm, Icons will take much longer01:51
ogra_ibookgah, i have a horrible lag here ...01:51
mhzunless we use Tango, Gartoon and other01:51
ogra_ibookflint, i can write it after having a meeting01:51
ogra_ibookmhz, yes, thats the plan01:52
flintogra_ibook, do you have the time to do this?  I can help with specs...think of me as your secretary!01:52
JaneWwe are ging to have to try to have one of these meetings where we don't spend an hour + arguing, but rather try to collaborate... that would be a novel change .01:52
ogra_ibookflint, we had a wonderful clear spec after the first BOF meeting ... that was going a bit confusing during the next ones01:53
flintogra_ibook, that is correct, imagine me in a short dress on your lap....hmmm.01:53
ogra_ibookeeek01:53
JaneWwe haven't even discussed the cook book yet.01:53

JaneWflint: arrgh!01:53
ogra_ibookflint, will you carry pompoms ? 01:53
flintkevin is here and much progress has been made in this area...01:53
flintogra_ibook, pompoms only if you are good, and bring cigars.01:54
kjcoleMy cue, I guess...01:54
ogra_ibooksure i will :)01:54
mhzJaneW: true but if not here, when?01:54
mhz:)01:54
mhzJaneW: the good thing is we are reaching agreements ;)01:54
mhzor so it seems01:54
JaneWmhz: granted, but this happens each week. We really need a good face to face pounch up to get it all out ;)01:55
mhzheheh, indeed01:55
kjcoleCookbook: Now more than halfway through the first pass.  Also, with the help of ogra, jblack, lifeless and flint, I've been getting a much better handle on how to use bzr.01:55
mhzcool!, Kamion 01:55
mhzcool!, kjcole 01:55
mhz(this autocompleting!)01:55
JaneWkjcole: excellent :))01:55
mhz(it should present matches before)01:55
JaneWkjcole: how much editting is it needing?01:56
flintand do not forget the help from mhz!!!01:56
ogra_ibookmhz, it does if you dont hit enter to quickly :)01:56
kjcoleI see launchapd is now tracking our revisions too (as of yesterday, it appears).  I put the branch in there while we were sitting in Montreal.01:56
mhzflint: I have not been of any help yet01:56
flintmhz, mhz has been of excellent help setting up a bzr repository for the use of the cookbook project.01:57
mhzflint: I will. jelkner and kjcole will let me in once they finish 1st part01:57
JaneWmhz: just saw your pic, you look quite a lot like Jeff Waugh ;)01:57
flintmhz, you already have access to the depository, say the word and I put you back in the sudoers file...01:57
mhzJaneW: is that a good or bad thing :) ?01:58
kjcoleJaneW, I wish we'd gotten to this before jelkner had to split.  We have very similar styles regarding wording, but different priorities.  Since jelkner has actually published and I have not, I bow to his priorities.01:58
flintJaneW, do not scare the poor man off!01:58
mhzogra_ibook: ohh, it does it, thx01:58
mhz(tab Tab)01:58
JaneWkjcole: yes sorry I wasn;t watching the clock closely, we'll def do cook book first next week01:59
=== lguerra [i=lguerra@200.21.93.195] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
JaneWkjcole: does it cause conflict between you at all?01:59
mhzkjcole: wise it is, unless until cookbook is out and then you would also stop being a 'padawan' :D01:59
flintJaneW, this priority stuff had to take priority :^)01:59
kjcoleJaneW, His approach is "Keep as much of the tuxLab Cookbook as possible.  Whittle it down.  When finished whittling, add in material specific to Dapper.  Release.  Add in more "How to teach usung Edubuntu."  Release again."01:59
mhzlguerra: bienvenido!!!02:00
lguerraHi mhz02:00
flintmy evil contribution was to look over the cookbook outline...and revise it for use on planet earth.02:00
mhzJaneW: lguerra is being the only 'other' active person in #edubuntu-es, very willing to help and test02:00
JaneWkjcole: seems to make sense...02:01
kjcoleJaneW, Not much conflict, no.  I just worry that people might be expecting marvelous changes from what we both already consider to be a very fine piece of work we've started from.02:01
flintlguerra, any friend of Mauritzo is a friend of us.02:01
lguerratks Flint02:01
JaneWkjcole: no I don;t think major changes are expected, we just have to makes sure it is relevent and there are no weird tuxlab references that make no sense in the edubuntu context02:02
flintJaneW, that is the most dissapointing part, there is little conflict.  I feel about conflict and arguement like a vampire feels about blood....02:02
JaneWflint: I know but you are into S&M02:02
mhzlguerra: we are now listening about kjcole and jelkner advances on CookBook for Edubuntu02:02
JaneWflint: and swinging, and beastility and who know what else...02:02
mhzflint: thx02:02
flintseriously, the real challange is that the tuxlab book was written very closely to the Shuttleworth foundation requirements in SA.  This must be much more general.02:03
JaneWflint: agreed02:03
kjcoleogra_ibook, I had sent you the LTSP startup stuff from the tuxLab Cookbook for you to revise.  Had a free second to work miracles there as well as everywhere else you've been working miracles?02:03

=== Simira [n=rpGirl@118.84-48-121.nextgentel.com] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
kjcoleJaneW, jelkner likes them.  I find them to be "consistent" which is a big plus, and "gentle" which is also okay.  Am I thrilled by them? Not exactly, but no real complaints.  (I'm easy.)02:07
flintJaneW, darlin' I mean "damn"02:07
JaneWkjcole: ITA with your interpretation02:07
ogra_ibooki'm not sure we have the allowance to ship the graphics 02:07
mhzlol02:07
mhzI can place a picture of myself02:07
JaneWogra: I think we can... but I'll need to dbl check02:08
jsgotangcowhat's the status of the manual?02:08
flintogra_ibook, me I want that eurotrash look, kinda bauhaus...02:08

kjcoleogra_ibook: LTSP (moo cow?) bootup walkthrough? 02:09
ogra_ibooknah02:09
ogra_ibooknot needed for us02:09
flintJaneW, seriously, there is a crying need for an artistic theme here.02:10
ogra_ibookas well as only lts.conf settings we support should show up in the cookbook02:10
flintJaneW, were you involved in the original tuxlab book?02:10
JaneWflint: again I don' think it's a priority, but if someone does it, great we'lll be very happy.02:10
=== jsgotangco sits in a chair
JaneWflint: no not at all, I first heard of it at the London Summit02:10
flintJaneW, think of the book as print advertising for the project.02:11
kjcoleogra_ibook: Dunno who we need authority from on graphics but the I've been in touch with the original author and the illustrator and both gave us their blessings.02:11
JaneWflint: which is where I first got to know Jonathan and Hilton too02:11
mhzflint: we could also help with those graphics as soon as we get time to read and work on it02:11
ogra_ibookkjcole, ok, thats enough 02:11
JaneWok oiur time is up, anything else/02:11
JaneW?02:11
ogra_ibooki was remembering the original was under a strange license02:12
jsgotangco:)02:12
flinti suppose my thought here is that the default themes of edubuntu should closely match the illustration style of the book.02:12
JaneWogra: that was the draft it wasn;t released yet02:12
ogra_ibookflint, so you want RMs wallpapers o_O02:12
jsgotangcoerr what's the status of the manual? (nobody answered)02:12
ogra_ibooks/RMs/RMS02:12
mhzogra: LOL!02:12
flintogra_ibook, ouch!02:12
kjcoleogra_ibook: The walkthrough doesn't tell people what to do, it just explains (in horrid detail) what happens during the boot.  Since that's all changed (according to jelkner) he wanted you to revise that.02:13

jsgotangcocontent - wiki pages?02:26
JaneWexcellent02:26
highvoltagei have received plenty e-mails and I advise people to join the web team on launchpad, so when the drupal site is up, they will all be commisioned to start writing specific parts and work on some sub-projects.02:27
JaneWkjcole: I think highvoltage means THEIR version for tuxlabs - right?02:27
ograkjcole, he's talking about tuxlabs02:27
highvoltagejsgotangco: not quite, but similar.02:27
JaneWhighvoltage: your re-write is for your own purposes right?02:27
highvoltagesorry, yes.02:27
kjcoleAhhhh, thanks for the clarification all02:27
jsgotangco:/02:27
highvoltagelet me clarify, version 2 of the howto is for tuxlabs.02:27
highvoltageand that's what we are working on at the foundation.02:27
flintkjcole, this drupal input is a good thing...02:27
=== mhz is understanding a little more now
JaneWhighvoltage: will your rewrite affect us at all? I.e. changes we should know about and could benefit from?02:27
highvoltagehowever, we will use Edubuntu for installation in the new version, instead of Ubuntu+LTSP.org or K12LTSP.02:28
highvoltageJaneW: yes.02:28
flinthighvoltage, i would like to have you look over the overall cookbook outline...02:28
ograhighvoltage, then it would be desirable to work together on the new version i think02:28
highvoltageit's not very friendly documentation, since we're relying on copywriters to do all the poetry,02:28
JaneWhighvoltage: well perhaps you should look at what 'we' (royal we) have done to adapt it ti edubuntu02:28
flinthighvoltage, oh so you don't want local storage either :^)02:28
highvoltageand it's broken up in modules that doesn't /quite/ make sense at the moment02:28
ograflint, :P02:29
highvoltagebut i'll pass it on, there will be some value in it.02:29
flintogra, ok, i will try to be good...02:29
kjcole(Anyway, as I was saying earlier, I put the repository out on my office desktop machine which Gallaudet would probably not be thrilled with, if they knew.  So, flint has set up docbox.flint.com, which is where launchpad will point shortly.)02:29
highvoltagepersonally, I feel that this should have been a collaborative effort from the start, however, there are some people here who don't agree.02:29
jsgotangco:/02:30
ograflint, else i'll steal your miniskirt and send you out to the public with only the pompoms02:30
mhzhighvoltage: so the idea is we will be using Drupal for the purposes of.... ?02:30
highvoltageNext week though, I will talk to them again, snip some of this meeting to show that there *is* outside support.02:30
flinthighvoltage, the deal here is that you gotta do for Shuttleworth.02:30
=== mhz is not complaining
flintogra, I have some big pompoms, also made of brass...02:30
highvoltageflint: ok02:30
ogralol02:31
mhzhighvoltage: here?02:31
highvoltagemhz: sorry, terribly distracted02:31
jsgotangcobah 02:31
=== jsgotangco [n=jsg@ubuntu/member/jsgotangco] has left #ubuntu-meeting ["Leaving"]
flinthighvoltage, the neat thing about drupal / bzr is we can have our cakes and eat them too.02:31
mhzhighvoltage: ohh, here = tuxlab ?02:32
highvoltagemhz: that swiss guy (sorry, can't remember his name) pointed out some very good reasons to use drupal, so we agreed to try it out for the website02:32
=== doko [n=doko@dslb-084-059-103-061.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
highvoltagemhz: here = at the foundation02:32
ograthere is even a wikipage with the desired structure iirc02:32
mhzhighvoltage: okis, and Moin will be dropped then?02:32
=== Hirion [n=hirion@draugr.de] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
flinthighvoltage, the tuxlabs book specified how to interact with the foundation as part of the install process.  you had standard hardware for servers.  things were much clearer than in the world.02:32
ogramhz, moin is the wiki and will stay02:32
highvoltagemhz: mostly, although we'll keep the wiki, and we'll keep the moin "web" pages as a backup to drupal02:33
=== mhz got lost again
highvoltagemhz: just in case ogra's prophecy of an Edubuntu porn site comes true02:33
mhzdrupal will be for ....?02:33
highvoltagemhz: the Edubuntu website02:33
flintogra, moin is not a bad thing either...02:33
ogramhz, we use moin for edu/ku/ubuntu as wiki and wont drop it02:33
mhzisnt wiki = web site?02:33
=== mhz is terribly lost now, sorry
ogramhz, for the website we currently have static pages02:34
highvoltagemhz: not necassarily :)02:34
=== vuntz [n=vuntz@fennas.vuntz.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
JaneWhighvoltage: Phillip02:34
ogramhz, we want a content management system so people can also edit the website02:34
mhzogra: ahhhhh! www.edubuntu.org02:34
flintmhz, Mauritzo, what we have here is a potlatch.  or a battle of pleantful resources...02:34
ogramhz, so wiki == moin, website == drupal02:34
highvoltagemhz: so the website will be used for fancy things, like photo galleries, static pages, feedback forms, etc. While the wiki will be used exactly as it is used now (basically)02:34
highvoltageJaneW: yes, thanks.02:35
=== vuntz [n=vuntz@fennas.vuntz.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
=== JaneW needs to go, have actually work to do... ;)
mhzhighvoltage: / ogra: now I get it right!!!02:35
mhzthx for the extra patience02:35
highvoltagemhz: no problem02:35
JaneWack 3 days into the new year and all my typos are back...02:35
flintand these subsidiary or development pages can be used at will02:35
mhzwww.edubuntu.org and wiki.edubuntu.org02:35
mhzJaneW: this is also work. we are working02:36
mhz:)\02:36

highvoltagemhz: technically, i'm on work time now, so i'm avoiding work02:36
mhzhighvoltage: lol! you always with your sense of humour, good!02:36
=== Hirion [n=hirion@draugr.de] has left #ubuntu-meeting []
flinthighvoltage, wait a minute, I am always in favor of acquiring resources in an unauthorized manner...02:37
=== kjcole finishes dressing and runs out the door... Bound for paying work once more...
flintthanks kevin!!!02:37
JaneWhighvoltage: but Vickis not there anymore so no problemo ;)02:37
highvoltageflint: perhaps that's why I like your style so much02:37
mhzhighvoltage: i do not understand why we have http://wiki.edubuntu BUT https://wiki.ubuntu (notice the https)02:37
JaneWkjcole: you been naked all this time?02:37
highvoltageJaneW: yes, we are taking over. and Zelda is grrreat02:37
flinthighvoltage, thanks ma man... anyway boys and girls, lets blow this pop stand till next week.02:38
mhzhighvoltage: could we have them equal02:38
highvoltagemhz: what do you mean?02:38
mhzboth http or https02:38
highvoltagemhz: i can access http://wiki.edubuntu.com fine.02:39
mhzme too02:39
flintmhz, Mauritzo http or https, it matters little...the apache locks them together as a default.02:39
ograhttps://wiki.edubuntu.org/ works fine as well02:39
mhzreally??????02:39
highvoltageworks for me.02:39
ograhttps should automatically be used if youre logged in02:39
mhzhttp://wiki.ubuntu ?02:39
highvoltagethat looks like an incomlete domain name :)02:40
flintgermans of course obsess about cryptography, they think it is cool :^)02:40
mhzogra: my url shows http://wiki. even after logging in02:40
flintogra, ...must be some german in me...02:40
ograflint, i'm no tyical german then :)02:40
mhzhighvoltage: i was lazzy to type thw whole thing :)02:40
flintogra, if germans like coffee then "Ich bein un berliner"02:41
ograflint, i'm just struggling with an answer to a request for hardened edubuntu 02:41
ograhehe02:41
flintogra, that is the silliest thing i have heard all morning...02:41
highvoltageflint: what do you mean with a crack kind of guy? i'm not familiar with the expression02:41
ogralol, yes02:41
flinthighvoltage, are you back on the pipe again?02:42
highvoltageflint: and you can always be honest with me, if you think that something i did is crap, feel free to express it any way you like :)02:42
ograhighvoltage, try s/crack/crazy02:42
highvoltageogra: thanks for clearing that up :)02:42
=== JaneW starts fading this time of day... it's over 33 degs celcius in here
ograoh, i wish the snow outside would finally melt :) 02:43
mhzJaneW: it will be 34 C here in Chile too02:43
JaneWnot sure how much higher, cos my thermometer is off the scale...02:43
flinthighvoltage, johnathan, the writting is great, the RMS and Torvalds pix...well...02:43
highvoltageJaneW: it's nice and air-conditioned here at the office :)02:43
highvoltageflint: jonathan02:43
flinthighvoltage, you bad man...02:43
JaneWit's a swiss thermometer and it reckons inside temps range from 8-30 only02:43
highvoltageJaneW: not -8? :)02:43
JaneWhighvoltage: that's reason enough to drive 70km actually!02:44
flintfyi i believe it is warm here in vermont. about 10 F.02:44
highvoltageanyway, i'm busy sorting my internet connection out again, when that's back up i can be involved 100% again.02:44
JaneWhighvoltage: nah it's for indoor temps, mean to be climate controlled02:44
highvoltagemy time problems have basically been sorted out, so I won't be as scarce as I was since... well since the beginning :)02:44
mhzJaneW: but my wife has bought a small pool and an 'amaca' (piece of handcraft made of cloth that you tie up with each top to a tree trank and you can then use it to swing and lay)02:45
highvoltageand I also just want to say happy new year to everyone here, while we are still here.02:45
mhzJaneW: so those 34 C will be more bearable02:45
flinthighvoltage, what did you think of the idea of having the books art match the product?02:45
ograoh, yes, happy new year ... forgot that as well02:45
highvoltageflint: i'm all for it02:45
flintmhz, she bought it but you probably had to set it up.02:46
mhzflint: hehehehehe, nha, I was at the computer (AGAIN!!!)02:46
mhz:D02:46
flinthighvoltage, that was basically my point.  Keep in mind how blown away we all were to see that there was any documentation when we got together in London.02:47
mhzflint: she asked "would you help me" I said 'yes' but she never asked "please help me now"02:47
highvoltageogra: how do you feel about the overall status of Edubuntu at present?02:47
flintmhz, soon you will obey without question...right jane?02:47
mhz:)02:47
mhzalready do that02:47
ograhighvoltage, very good02:48
JaneWmhz: d'oh I have a pool right here, I am going to leap in quickly. bbiab02:48
mhzi just take advantage of non well asked questions02:48
highvoltageogra: i'm very glad to hear that02:48
ograhighvoltage, (jelkner and flint wil disagree, since we dont have local device support out of the box)02:48
highvoltageogra: tough02:48
highvoltage(meant toung in cheek there)02:48
flinthighvoltage, change is not the provence of reasonable men...02:49
highvoltageogra: security issue? is it likely that it will have it in the release following dapper?02:49
ograindeed all the manual setups from ltsp-org work just fine for local devices, its just not there out of the box02:49
flinthighvoltage, and ollie, that this pig flies at all, that this dog can dance, it is a good thing.02:49
JaneWok, I am jumping ship. Bye!02:50
flintJaneW, enjoy the pool.02:50
ogradapper+1 will have it in any case , we try to make up some dev time for it to happen for dapper, but no promises02:50

mhzokey YOU ALL guys, gotta get back to kitchen :)  ogra, we will continue working on  the themes draft (1st times for use playing with GTK) and 3 wallpapers for Eduuntu. Will LDM need backgrounds?02:51
highvoltageogra: edubuntu would have been a disaster if it weren't for you02:51
flintgang I feel I contributed constructively by calling mdz at 4:30 AM and yelling at him...02:51
highvoltageyes, and /me need to get back to work, ciao02:51
ogramhz, have a look, i dropped the fullscreen backgrounds from ldm ...02:51
flinthighvoltage, good to hear from you, do not be a stranger Johnathan!02:52
=== mhz hasnt seen dapper yet. I will soon
ogramhz, it uses only the cropped logo and a background color now 02:52
mhzbetter02:52
highvoltageflihnt: ok!02:52
ograthe fullscreen pic at 1600x1200 was simply to big and made the loading slow02:52
flintogra, ollie i should have my evaluation space set up by next week.02:52
