=== Travis_ [n=Travis@bal-broadband2-ws-247.dsl.airstreamcomm.net] has joined #edubuntu
Travis_has anyone considered making a server version of edubuntu? with like ldap, a student information system, samba domain controller etc.? for schools to use on their server?06:02
Travis_with really easy setup06:02
mhzyes, Travis_ 06:02
Travis_similar to novell stuff06:02
mhzit's been discussed06:02
mhzsometimes06:02
Travis_is there any work in progress?06:02
mhznot that I know of, but I do know it is in part a goal of SchoolTool06:03
Travis_I am considering network administration as a career and I hate how much it costs to deploy a network using novell etc.06:03
mhzme too06:03
Travis_I tried setting up my own server with ldap06:03
Travis_worked decent but I need to find a free student information system that would integreat well with LDAP06:03
Travis_I have tons of ideas just no way to pursue them06:04
Travis_schooltool looks kind of lacking06:05
mhzactually, I had a 'customer' who payed me to show him and demo diff Linux based alternatives to his current IT solutions. In the end, his boss refused to migrate because they only were saving U$55,000 a year. That was not big deal because they made that much in 2 days06:05
Travis_its just like a schedule06:05
mhzso no need to worry endusers06:05
Travis_yeah businesses that make tons of money I can understand paying06:06
mhzTravis_: SchoolTool has objectives for enrollement, students info, etc06:06
mhzhowever, e-groupware may be goodfor you06:06
Travis_but schools, I think the money should be used on hardware06:06
mhzyup06:06
Travis_does egroupware intergreat with samba?06:07
Travis_err06:07
Travis_ldap06:07
mhzyup06:07
mhzwell, so does Evolution :)06:07
=== mhz used e-groupware for 2 years
mhzvery cool06:08
mhzall web06:08
Travis_by integrate I mean like create ldap users?06:08
mhziirc, yes06:08
Travis_iirc?06:08
Travis_I'll try it out06:10
mhzif i remember correctly :)06:11
mhzsorry06:11
Travis_what is iirc?06:12
mhzif i remember correctly :)06:12
mhzTravis_: did you understand it?06:12
Travis_oh06:13
Travis_lol06:13
Travis_I feel dumb now06:13
Travis_I'll try school tool first06:13
mhzTravis_: SchoolTool is 'default' in Edubuntu06:14
Travis_sadly I don't have edubuntu06:14
mhzit is not 'mature' but it does have lot of potential06:14
Travis_isn't edubuntu a desktop OS?06:14
Travis_not server?06:14
konfuzedwhats school tool06:14
konfuzedfor06:14
Travis_looks like a student information grade booking schedule deal06:15
Travis_which is exactly what I am looking for06:15
mhzEdubuntu = 100% Ubuntu + special LTSP + edu-apps + some wallpapers06:15
Travis_wanna see if it integrates with ldap or anything06:15
Travis_honestly I have never liked linux for school desktop OS06:15
mhzTravis_: see? I told you :D06:15
konfuzedi also just read above a bit which says some about school tools06:16
Travis_http://www.schooltool.org06:16
konfuzedhave you compared moodle ?06:16
mhzkonfuzed: SchoolTool is a project, aimed to help on  student information grade booking schedule, etc06:16
Travis_it needs to add a lunch service06:16
mhzkonfuzed: Moodle, Claroline and dotLRN are very good LMS06:17
Travis_I just wonder if it creates and ldap account or how it manges that stuff06:17
mhzTravis_: you can ask in #schooltool06:17
=== arkan0x [n=arkan0x@pc-93-72-214-201.cm.vtr.net] has joined #edubuntu
Travis_oh06:17
konfuzedhmm interesting06:17
konfuzedis schooltool using or based on egroupware?06:18
mhzkonfuzed: sooner or later, SchoolTool will integrate with an LMS06:18
konfuzedhm06:18
mhzbut for now, they have to continue with their roadmap ans see more about Moodle 1.606:18
mhzkonfuzed: nope06:18
konfuzedI setup moodle as a live performance venue and like it very much so would recommend it to real schools aswell06:18
mhzkonfuzed: SL is made on Python and Zope06:19
mhzand uses ZODB06:19
mhzkonfuzed: all the 3 LMS I mentioned are very very good. Each has its way into specifics06:19
konfuzedthen around the same tim edecided to put ubuntu on systems if somebody gets one from me06:19
mhzbut they all work very well06:20
konfuzedthen discovered edubuntu and then last month I see moodle is a project on the edubuntu site06:20
konfuzedso it all wraps together rather nicely that way06:21
mhzyup06:22
mhzthe idea is we endup with a lot to offer to Education and learning06:22
mhzEdubuntuStudyContent is just one of those many ideas06:22
konfuzedhm havenet seen that  ESC yet06:23
mhzit's a page in the wiki06:23
mhzwe have done nothing about it06:23
mhzyet06:23
mhzbecause I have not had time to write about it and encourage people to join efforts for it06:24
Travis_what does moodle do?06:25
Travis_never tried it06:25
mhzit is a LMS06:25
Travis_Learning ________ System?06:25

mhz(i made last one out!)06:26
mhz:D06:26

mhzYagisan: wow!04:23
Yagisanmhz: yes I'm still up04:24
Yagisanmhz: how did the firewall turn out ?04:24
mhzYagisan: eventhoug I give you that the script you suggested is aimed to make life easier, I still prefer to learn what to do by hand, and once I have a decent knowledge, then use the script :0)04:25
Yagisanmhz: I like to do things by hand too - but it is a good script. I've sent patches in for it in the past, part of why I suggested it to you.04:26
Yagisanmhz: do you run breezy ?04:26
Yagisanmhz: if so, I have a little favour to ask you04:27
mhzyup04:27

=== mhz tabbing
Yagisanmhz: I'm hoping that some ubuntu using volunteers could perhaps try joining my server04:30
Yagisanmhz: and tell me if I screwed it up or not04:30
=== mhz reading eyagi's trying to figure out how to help
Yagisanmhz: in a nutshell. install game. connect. try to shoot. If you can shoot :) if not :(04:35
mhzhehhe04:36
mhzah, very simple04:36
mhzso I just install the thing adding repos to my sourcelist04:36
mhzand then try to play04:36
mhzthat's it?04:37
Yagisanmhz: basically - yes04:37
mhzcool04:37
=== mhz has never payed game in the box
mhzplayed04:37
mhzjust have patience because this is VERY new to me now04:38
=== mhz getting a coffe and then install
Yagisanmhz: no worries04:38
Yagisanmhz: ubuntu has many nice games, this one can't go in yet because of license problems, but that is getting fixed, so maybe dapper + 104:39
Yagisanmhz: but it's my baby04:39
Yagisanmhz: my only relaxation that works on a p2 23304:40
mhzwow! maybe it will work here too04:40
mhzYagisan: you said that maybe rsync would keep the whole system synced04:40
mhz(providing I dont copy /proc)04:40
Yagisanmhz: possibly - I still don't remember the name of the two way rsync application :(04:43
mhzno problem04:44
mhzI have a good book that expalins many usage for rsync04:44

misiekhi evryone, i would like to know the difference between ubuntu and edubuntu04:46
Yagisanmhz: that was the program I was trying to remember04:46
Yagisanmisiek: edubuntu is ubuntu + ltsp + education utilities + nicer artwork04:46
Yagisan;)04:46
Yagisanmhz: unison is in universe04:47
misiekthanks04:48
Yagisanmisiek: you can change ubuntu to edubuntu by installing the edubuntu-desktop package04:48
misiekso basically edubuntu is slightly more then ubuntu but you can make ubuntu into edubuntu right?04:49
Yagisanmisiek: yes04:50
Yagisanmisiek: it is ubuntu + extras for education04:50
Yagisanmisiek: like kubuntu is ubuntu + kde (slightly simplified, but you should get the point)04:51
misiekdo you know about whether kubuntu is just ubuntu with kde?04:51
Yagisanmisiek: look up ^^ :)04:52
misieki know its a edubuntu channel, but i figured you would be informed.... 04:56
Yagisanmisiek: I said it was basically ubuntu + kde04:57
Yagisanmisiek: uses the kde version of the ubuntu applications04:57
Yagisanmisiek: you must have looked too far up ;)04:57
misiekoh sorry i missed that in the mist of textual information =)04:58
misiekyeah04:58
Yagisanmisiek: myself - I use a mix of apps from ubuntu, kubuntu and edubuntu04:59
misiekwhich apps would you suggest?04:59
Yagisanmisiek: k3b is a good cd burning app, evolution is nice for email05:00
Yagisanmisiek: both firefox and konquereor are good www browsers05:00
