JaneWthere are only so many ways to say 'everyone threw up today' ;)01:02
jsgotangcoheh01:03
flint_yea that was interesting... still haven't talked to matt was he sick?01:03
ograsay "kate moss wednesday" 01:03
jsgotangcofood poisoning can be bad01:03
JaneWWednesday was the worst of it01:03
ajmitch_JaneW: sounds like the aftermath of linux.conf.au :)01:03
JaneWyes Matt was sick01:03
kjcoleogra,  ouch!  harsh.  ;-)01:03
flint_ubuntu sprints on its stomach....01:03
JaneWit was more a virus than food poisoning I think01:03
jsgotangcoat least it wasnt the distro sprint of doom01:04

JaneWhighvoltage: you here?01:06
hno73hi JaneW01:06

hno73jsgotangco: ! (sorry I was away friday)01:07
JaneWok who has updates for me?01:07
kjcoleI'll be brief. 01:07
=== jsgotangco just uploaded new edubuntu-docs and will prepare a script to publish on doc.ubuntu.com for preview
=== jmont [n=jmont@200.215.89.146] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
flint_I am supposed to be standing in for Jeffster...01:07
flint_kevin should report.01:07
ograltsp had 36 code commits since last week ... we support a lot more options now (serial mice, 16Bit graphics cards etc) and i did a lot of fixes ...01:08
JaneWjsgotangco: great thanks :)01:08
jsgotangcoserial finally got tested?01:08
JaneWbelated Hi mhz01:08
ograi'm just starting to prepare for flight 4, testing and feedback before would be fine ...01:08
mhz;)01:09
kjcoleNot a lot to report, actually.  Working with a lore developer, we now have an indexing system (or the beginnings of one)01:09
JaneWyes ogra was busy last week01:09
JaneW(and not just drinking) ;)01:09
=== irvin_ [n=irvin@203.213.220.193] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
JaneWogra: does flight 4 have a date yet?01:09
jsgotangcoyeah right he's caught on camera with a bottle of bourbon or something..01:09
JaneW I haven't heard...01:09
ograadditionally i have a good bunch of code offered by the debian ltsp team ... i'm currently reviewing their patches#01:09
JaneWjsgotangco: yup ;)01:09
ograJaneW, filght CDs never have a date ... only a rough "this week" 01:10
ograit depends on the bugs we find during building the CDs :)01:10
kjcoleI just secured some space at my school where we can set up a Dapper Edubuntu "lab" and work from that to get a real feel for how it all fits together.01:10
ograthats why testing *before* is so important01:10
ogra(which nobody but me is doing normally :( )01:11
=== jsgotangco volunteers to test amd64
ograyay !01:11
flint_ogra, ollie you seem to be on a workstation binge.  Anything you are working on the server side?01:11
JaneWjsgotangco: you are great!01:12
JaneWthanks01:12
mhzogra: I do apologize for not being helpfull at all in this testings but I have almost no hardware where i can test now01:12
JaneWogra: right but as the magic date gets near it becomes apparent, no?01:12
kjcolemhz will be pleased to know that jelkner has "seen the light" and we're trying to keep something on the wiki in parallel with our docs.01:12
=== jsgotangco has 3 amd64 machines at his disposal at the moment
flint_ogra, The Veromont testing facility is spooling up to speed.01:12
ogracool :)01:12
ogramhz, you do enough ... i only want people with decent bandwith to be testers01:12
=== earobinson [n=earobins@ubuntu/member/earobinson] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
kjcoleBad news: We don't think we'll have something mid-april.  Shortly thereafter, is jelkner's prediction.01:13
jsgotangcoits ok01:13
flint_ogra, I will be sending you a copy of the Vermont Lab facility documentation when complete.01:13
ograflint_, great :)01:14
mhzogra: good potential news is that on friday/monday I should have a definit answer wether I have at least a 5 pc lab and one server to test Edubuntu whatever and invite teachers to it, to give us feedback on monthly basis :D01:14
ograkjcole, the #edubuntu channel is grown a bit recently ... probably you can recruit more people there01:14
jsgotangcoi notice a trend on #edubuntu though, a lot of people ask about desktop apps rather than server01:15
=== irvin [n=irvin@ubuntu/member/irvin] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
jsgotangcojust today i had 3 random people asking01:15
kjcoleWe're looking at qemu as a possible screen-capture mechanism (among other things).01:15
ograjsgotangco, yes01:15
jsgotangcokjcole, imagemagick can't do enough for app-specific sceencaps?01:16
kjcoleA lot of my week has been LoCo-related and getting space for the lab.01:16
mhzjsgotangco: yup, seen that too. And in #edubuntu-es.. many users show up just for 'ubuntu-stuff' rlated issues :(01:16
jsgotangcoyeah01:17
ogramhz, point them to #ubuntu01:17
kjcolejsgotangco, we're hoping for screen captures from the get-go: The splash screen, and at least some of the install screens that are Edubuntu specific -- LTSP NG DHCP config etc. 01:17
jsgotangcomostly newbies though, lots of patience needed01:17
jsgotangcokjcole, qemu =)01:17
jsgotangcoVMWare GSX Server =)01:17
mhzogra: they usually come from #ubuntu or #ubuntu-es01:17
ogramhz, but #edubuntu(-es) is not for general #ubuntu stuff 01:18
JaneWkjcole: we really need a cook book for 6.04 - even if it's lean01:18
jsgotangcoyeah01:18
JaneWkjcole: we missed it for 5.10 which was dissapointing01:18
=== jsgotangco failed the first time
ogramhz, we support the edu apps and ltsp in #edubuntu ...01:18
kjcoleWill inform jelkner01:18
JaneWis there no way we can get ppl to collaborate with you?01:18
JaneWit's the one thing ppl would like to help with01:19
mhzogra: heheh, yeah, but 2 users who usually help on little edubuntu stuff (testing, mainly) have complained that if nobody is talking, why not give help on ubuntu topics in the mean time :(01:19
=== Hirion [n=hirion@draugr.de] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
JaneWI know you guys are aiming for perfection, but I;d be happy with 'good enough' - on time01:19
JaneWno pressure ;)01:19
jsgotangcoat least something to review01:20
jsgotangco:)01:20
mhzogra: edubuntu-es is usually 4 people and 3 or 5 more that come twice a week01:20
mhzhence the urgent need of "the tour" idea :)01:20
mhzurgent = maybe not01:20
jsgotangcomhz, i think ES is your sphere of expertise, you are very much authoritative to decide on what's best01:21
flint_mhz, I have never been on ubuntu-es what is so special?01:21
=== jsgotangco no habla espanol
flint_mhz, i ment edubuntu-es...01:22
=== spacey__ [n=spacey@flits101-191.flits.rug.nl] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
mhzjsgotangco: maybe yes that's why before scaring or inviting people go somewhere else, I usally take some vitamin C and patience and let them ask ooftopics :)01:22
spacey__hi01:22
mhzflint_: oh, just supposed to be another channel but for edubuntu users/admins needing support and help01:23
flint_oh, ok.01:23
mhzogra: good thing is there are many people subsrcibed to ML (weired)01:23
flint_JaneW, maybe we need a docsprint.  we writers want to get wretching sick from hotel food...01:24
flint_:^)01:24
mhzlol01:24
JaneWheh01:24
=== mhz is so much wanting to put hands on CookBook translation and maybe additions
JaneWso what's the plans for the next week?01:24
jsgotangcoflint_, you'll probably get your wish by the end of march if things go well01:24
JaneWalso where is highvoltage ?01:24
flint_JaneW, you would be invited to bring your world famous collection of beadpans!01:24
kjcoleJaneW, I'm not opposed to the idea...  I've been following jelkner's lead, since he'd published a book and I haven't. 01:25
=== Hobbsee [n=Hobbsee@CPE-144-136-113-76.nsw.bigpond.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
flint_kjcole, "those who cannot do...teach"01:26
spacey__sorry for being late, but was there a list of documentation missing? last week was noted that such a list would be avail this week. ?01:26
JaneWflint_: I supply Amarula to those that behave....http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/178901:26
kjcoleAlso, there was the business of choosing Twisted Lore over Docbook or wiki, though as I say, he's now been convinced to at least start using the wiki for collaboration.01:27
jsgotangcoamarula?01:27
jsgotangcoahhh01:27
flint_that is a great shot of ollie hunched over a keyboard...01:28
jsgotangcoliquer or something...01:28
kjcoleJeff put an outline in place of what was on the wiki before and we're hoping to add to that this week from our Lore docs.01:28
JaneWkjcole: think we can get it done somehow?01:29
mhzkjcole: flint_: I am collecting pieces of info because if all my plans go well, in May I'll start a book about Edubuntu01:29
mhzand obvioulsy reinventinn the wheel is my worst option01:29
flint_JaneW, ever do a project plam?01:29
flint_mhz, is this stuff up on the docbox yet?01:30
JaneWflint_: sure, they are most ignored01:30
flint_mhz, you have an account.01:30
JaneWflint_: at best they are snap shots in this non-conformist community01:30
flint_JaneW, you never send me your project plans... I am hurt!01:30
jsgotangcobzr..*cough*01:31
flint_I read science fiction avidly01:31
mhzflint_: can we have a short 'let's talk' after meeting in #edubuntu, with coffee on table?01:31
kjcoleJaneW, Dunno.  I've not done any collaborative work before.  I'll try to get jelkner et al onto #edubuntu later today and see if we can speed things up.01:31
mhzjsgotangco: you mean ! :D01:31
flint_I have a window up for both you and ollie...01:31
JaneWkjcole: I realise it's putting pressure on you, but we can give you more ppl, will you talk to jelkner about the first edition not needing to be PERFECT (not that we'd mind if it is) ;)01:32
flint_JaneW, you know I would never defend these two if I did not see their problem.  The issue here is the classic infastructure one of women months and babies. Get it?01:34
kjcoleJaneW, understood.01:34
flint_you cannot add more women and get the baby faster than 9 months.01:34
flint_the reason I thought project plan was to get some subtask milestones to shoot at.01:35
jsgotangcohuh?01:35
mhzkjcole: _o/   \o/    \o_     (a cheering you!  based on CC meetings) 01:35
flint_a project plan is sort of like kicking the mother to induce premature birth...01:35
flint_saves you a month but is tough on the baby :^01:36
jsgotangcowhy was it not raised from the start?01:36
kjcoleThere's also the issue of documenting something that's a moving target.  (It would be nice to document what Edubuntu WILL be in April, rather than what it WAS in October or MIGHT be.)01:37
flint_jsgotangco, hindsight is 20/20, this enterprise is geared to hacking software, not writing books.  The infastructure for hacing code (eg bzr) is in place.  Does this work for books? 01:37
kjcoleHowever, I realize that it's probably reasonably settled now and from Flight whatever we should be working with something close to the finished look and feel...01:37
jsgotangcoit works for the docteam surely01:37
kjcoleThere is that.01:38
flint_what kevin and jeff ( and maybe me) have been involved with has been forging the tools to write the book.01:38
mhzkjcole: but if we can get something done based on breezy, in a couple of weeks we could have dapper ready01:38
=== janimo [n=jani@Home03207.cluj.astral.ro] has left #ubuntu-meeting []
JaneWflint_: what kind of subtasks you looking for?01:38
mhz(even after release)01:38
jsgotangcowe've relesed preview docs since flight 201:38
JaneWflint_: if you are refering to the cook book, that was left up to Msrs Elkner and Cole to handle01:38
flint_JaneW, you and I have got to fight that out offline...01:38
flint_JaneW, they are doing it, I bear witness to that.  are they moving as fast as the developers? nah.01:39
JaneWok highvoltage is still not here, but we have discussed the option of using MoinMoin for the whole edubuntu site instead of Drupal01:39
JaneWmhz: what do you think of that?01:39
=== dsa [n=dsaa@210.213.92.80] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
kjcoleMea (or whatever the Latin for "we" is) culpa.01:40
flint_as soon as they get a section done, (say the installation section) I read in your reports that there is a graphical user interface for dapper!!!!!01:40
JaneWhno73: thin we can call it decided now? (MoinMoin instead of drupal?)01:40
JaneWthin=think01:40
flint_JaneW, moinmoin drupal who cares that is not the book.01:40
jsgotangcogo Moin01:41
hno73JaneW: I think so yes01:41
jsgotangcoits pretty damn stable01:41
mhzJaneW: hehehe, I know Moin has some limitations (php can obvioulsy deal with much more "features" today) but I am not sure these limitations do affect edubuntu-gang purposes01:41
jsgotangcoand we already got working proofs01:41
freeflyinghno73: hi01:41
mhzJaneW: however, Moin 1.5 lets you do more stuff01:41
jsgotangcomeh01:42
=== hno73 is just re-doing the main site community section with pretty icons: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/CommunitySection
hno73the layout is quite flexible01:42
hno73hi freeflying :)01:42
spacey__possible to link the edubuntu site with all the other logins? launchpad/ubuntu wiki?01:42
spacey__think that is important criterium01:42
flint_spacey__, that would be the best!01:42
hno73spacey__: yes, that's possible01:43
freeflyinghno73: I'd prepare using moinmoin for www.kubuntu.org.cn ,will u give me any advice?01:43
mhzJaneW: jsgotangco: however, I would not feel comfrotable if we dont see/test highvoltage efforts on drupal01:43
spacey__i think that is one of most important points at least01:43
=== juliux [n=juliux@ubuntu/member/juliux] has left #ubuntu-meeting ["Verlassend"]
JaneWmhz: are you willing to help us with Moin magic?01:43
flint_spacey__, this issue of namespace is an infastructure issue that mere writers should not be inconvienced by, and they currently are...01:44
mhzJaneW: OF COURSE!01:44
=== mhz apologizes for the caps but you know Moin is my other 'lover' :D
hno73freeflying: look at the 'balanced' themes here: http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/ThemeMarket 01:45
=== ogra_ [n=ogra@p5089D017.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
mhzjsgotangco: and yes, moin as 'loverl is a scary thought :D01:46
hno73they are nearly the same as the ubunt/kubuntu ones01:46
jsgotangcoheh01:46
hno73(I should post some updates soon)01:46
mhzhno73: I downloaded balanced 2 days ago :D01:46
freeflyinghno73: may we use the artwork of kubuntu ?01:46
mhzfreeflying: yes, you can01:46
JaneWmhz: yay, that was the response I was HOPING FOR :)01:47
mhz;p01:47
JaneWwe have 12 mins left, is there anything else official to discuss?01:47
hno73mhz: I'll send you the latest copy of my theme (it's fairly stable now)01:48
JaneWdoes every/anyone want these meetings more structured?01:48
mhzhno73: I will email you about my questions.. yesterday the phone call was too long and after that I had to do other stuff01:48
spacey__that would be nice01:48
jsgotangcoim cool with the current stuff01:48
spacey__structure01:48
mhzhno73: thx!01:48
spacey__but i really missed that part on missing documentation?01:48
flint_JaneW, we have the doc section and the programming section.01:48
ograJaneW, just going back to the structure we once had would already suffice01:48
mhzhno73: and one of the topics is I do want to make a CSS for a11y01:48
ograwe once had structure01:49
ograit just vanished over the last meetings01:49
mhzhno73: so, edubuntu users could choose a11y theme if needed01:49
hno73mhz: I pretty much have that complete, just need to sort out some javascript magic for switching01:49
mhzJaneW: so basically your idea is I help hno73 i guess?01:50
flint_ogra, I think the structure comes from the participants, elkner helps a lot to keep me in check :^)01:50
mhzJaneW: and what will happen to highvoltage's efforts on drupal? lost?01:50
JaneWogra: I agree, I would prefer to handle the tech side first..01:50
hno73mhz: or rather that I help you :)01:50
ograflint_, we started off with a clear structure who speaks when ...01:50
JaneWbut jelkner normally attends for 15 mins or so and wants to talk docs01:50
ograthat disappeared01:50
mhzJaneW: yes, I liked your 'structure'  for metings01:51
JaneWthe trouble is the docs stuff tends to ramble01:51
flint_ogra: janew: elkner indicated he could not be here he will be back.01:51
mhzhno73: we help each other :D01:51
JaneWlet's agree for next week we go back to the original01:51
ograyes01:51
JaneWTech progress and calls for testing etc01:51
JaneWthe Docs progress and calls for help01:51
JaneWthen Artwork update and calls for help 01:52
JaneWetc01:52
ograwe can shuffle around the bits, but keep a bit of dicipline 01:52
JaneWyes agreed01:52
flint_I would like to throw the floor open to nominate a dominatrix.01:52
ogra(phew, that sounds so german)01:52
=== ogra blushes
JaneWas I think we are getting limited benefit now01:52
mhzyes, structure!01:52
mhz+101:52
freeflyinghno73: how shall I configure moinmoin , and make it perform like www.ubuntu.com ?01:52
JaneW+++01:52
mhzogra: we know you just can't help it :)01:52
JaneWfreeflying: you going to help too?01:52
freeflyingJaneW: I just want to host www.kubuntu.org.cn using moin01:53
ogramhz, i'm the chaos in person ... 01:53
hno73freeflying: ubuntu.com uses mod_proxy to deal with heavy trafic, but that's a special case01:53
jsgotangcoi'll email the list when the script for doc.ubuntu.com is done showing edubuntu-docs01:53
ograits not my usual behavior to sound german01:53
mhzhno73: so you prefer email better than irc?01:53
mhzogra: stop drinking then!01:53
mhz:D01:53
ograheh01:54
freeflyinghno73: I know about this01:54
flint_ogra, truth is you sound practically dutch most of the time :^)01:54
hno73freeflying: See http://www.theopencd.org/ for a site that uses moin to do pretty much the same thing01:54
JaneWogra: when can we start drafting the edubuntu flight 4 announcement?01:54
ograflint_, lol01:54
hno73mhz: yes please :)01:54
JaneWlet's try to get it out quicker this time01:54
ograJaneW, as soon as you like ...01:54
flint_mhz, lol01:54
spacey__hm, i'm off, bb01:54
ograi bet there is a flight 4announcement for ubuntu prepared already01:55
ogra(a draft)01:55
JaneWogra: ok I'll look for that01:55
hno73freeflying: if you email me on henrik@ubuntu.com I can send you my latest theme files and some suggestions01:55
JaneWcan you send me notable edu progress and enhancements01:55
flint_JaneW, one proposal for structure would be to divide into three sections, software, documentation, and web.01:55
mhzhno73: no problem, I can do it and we can add 'urgent' when I need responses in a day time ?01:55
freeflyinghno73: yep , just what I want , but how to configure moin 01:55
ograJaneW, sure01:55
JaneWI'll tack it together and then we can edit finely together01:55
mhzJaneW: yes,m there is01:56
ografreeflying, thats somehow offtopinc in a edubuntu meeting ...01:56
freeflyingogra: sorry01:56
ograbut i guess we're done anyway01:56
jsgotangco\o_ \o/  theopencd.org  \o/ _o/01:56
ograso go ahead :)01:56
JaneWogra: will the flight be out this week or next (your guestimate)01:56
mhzhno73: what if you upload the theme to wiki:HenrikOmma01:56
hno73freeflying: well, 'how to configure' is a big question. Do you want just the conf files, acl settings, a detailed tutorial?01:56
ograJaneW, i guess weekendish01:57
JaneWok01:57
freeflyingogra: after kubuntu.org.cn , we shall host edubuntu.org.cn01:57
ograah 01:57
ograi didnt get that01:57
hno73freeflying: It's difficult to know what place you are starting from. Do you have moin set up for a start?01:57
mhzjsgotangco: at least I started translating some bits of tocd01:57
jsgotangcomhz, yay!01:57
ografreeflying, then its on topic ;)01:57
freeflyinghno73: I have setup moin  kubuntu.3322.org01:57
freeflyinghno73: I have setup moin  http://kubuntu.3322.org01:58
JaneWogra: ubuntu is planning to have flash intros will we just have a progress bar?01:58
freeflyinghno73: so I want configure moin like  official website 01:58
jsgotangcoflash?01:58
flint_JaneW, oh god please no flash!!!01:58
kjcolegotta  run...  i  hope some  of  us  be chatting  before next week.    will  try to set  something  up.01:58
highvoltagehi. sorry, i'm here01:59
mhzJaneW: one thing b4 you leave...01:59
flint_kjcole, good job, keep it up!01:59
jsgotangcoflash?01:59
highvoltagejsgotangco: not as in macromedia, i presume01:59
jsgotangcojeezz i hope not!01:59
hno73freeflying: I see, that's already quite good. OK, I'll send you further instructions on email01:59
mhzJaneW: meeting minutes are sooooo hard to keep on current moin setup01:59
flint_ogra, if they put flash up on the web, you gotta rewrite in visual studio.  Any problems with that?01:59
Kamionflash> this is in the context of espresso (live installer), and it would be Flash 3 so that the free players can deal with it01:59
flint_:^)02:00
mhzJaneW: I'd love to see some solution proposals with hno73 02:00
freeflyinghno73: thx02:00
jsgotangcoKamion, thanks for clearing that up02:00
mhzhighvoltage: hey!!!02:00
ograJaneW, lets have the same ubuntu has ... but as i said i wont focus on express ...02:00
highvoltagemhz: hi02:00
ogramy main target is the install CD, since thats what we'll have pressed02:00
jsgotangcohold on02:00
flint_highvoltage, good morning Jonathan!02:00
highvoltagehi flint!02:00
jsgotangcoare we doing the livecd route?02:00
ogranope02:01
jsgotangcook02:01
highvoltage(got the name right again!)02:01
mhzogra: JaneW: any news from designer work?02:01
jsgotangcoso no espresson02:01
ograwe'll have a live iso ...02:01
highvoltageogra: so we'll have plain old d-i? yay!02:01
flint_highvoltage, I am practicing...02:01
ograand it will have esporesso for the workstation install 02:01
flint_highvoltage, thanks.02:01
ograhighvoltage, the server part doesnt fit on the live CD 02:01
highvoltageah, ok.02:01

=== Tonio_ [n=tonio@cac94-5-82-229-219-55.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
ograthe pressed CDs will be the install CDs ...02:02
JaneWmhz: feel free to abandon that format, bullets or wahtever works isfine02:02
ograas long as we focus on ltsp and server stuff it will stay this way02:02
freeflyingogra: if you can provide us a well Chinese supportted livecd , it will be efficient promote edubuntu in china02:02
ografreeflying, lets see ... i'm not sure we can fit this many languages on the live iso02:03
mhzJaneW: oh, okis02:03
=== hno73 [n=henrik@henrik.gotadsl.co.uk] has left #ubuntu-meeting []
JaneWogra: I think the issue was that the flash stuff feature Ubuntu so wouldn;t really go with edubuntu - what do you think?02:03
mhzJaneW: designer news?02:03
=== ogra would love to drop the KDE apps, that would solve all problems instantly
ograJaneW, why shouldnt it go with edubuntu ?=02:04
jsgotangcoogra, but you'll loose a lot of edu apps02:04
JaneWmhz: I have not heard anything no, but I know we are getting 1 set of designs02:04
ograits justa flash movie ...02:04
flint_ogra, can we fork edubuntu to edukbumutu?02:04
flint_er edukubuntu02:04
JaneWogra: well it will look diff for a start won't it?02:04
mhzJaneW: when could we know?02:04
ograjsgotangco, some have a valid replacement in gnome 02:04
ogra(but not all)02:04
JaneWwe need ppl making gnome apps - please02:05
jsgotangcoogra, if its justifiable and still ok for dapper i guess that's a good compromise02:05
=== mhz says we should not include or promote flash movies... it's against our manifesto
ograJaneW, making a screencapture is an easy task ...02:05
JaneWmhz: Jane Silber handles that according to the artwork deadline02:05
JaneWmhz: I think she is handing briefs over this week02:05
highvoltagesorry, i don't have time to catch up on the older messages, did hno73 mention anything about the website?02:05
ograjsgotangco, amd64 and powerpc isos are constantly overflown02:05
jsgotangcoargghhh02:05
mhzJaneW: okis...it's just that I'd love to see something02:05
JaneWogra: ok maybe we can do some with our stuff. Corey is handling the content we should speak to him.02:06
ograKDE takes a hell lot of space ....02:06
JaneWmhz: me too02:06
ograand i doubt its justified for the 5 KDE apps we ship02:06
jsgotangcoogra, ok i'll evaluate this weekend02:06
JaneWmhz: howvere like last time it;s one of the last pieces of the puzzle and is not completed or released until right near the end02:06
mhzogra: I have looked for gnome apps... not very successfully02:06
ograjsgotangco, king could esily be replaced by drgeo ... it finally matured ... for example02:07
highvoltageok, i'm almost on my way out so just some notes on edubuntu web/wiki site02:07
JaneWhighvoltage: we decided on moin in your absence - ok>02:07
JaneW?02:07
ogramhz, there are a lot02:07
mhzogra: but I have found xmaxima (GTK) for higher levels02:07
jsgotangcoyeah02:07
highvoltageJaneW: yep, that's good, i cancelled the drupal with Znarl (much to his delight)02:07
JaneWwhere are the gnome app ppl?02:07
mhzogra: equivalents??02:07
JaneWheh, thanks02:07
ogramhz, yes02:07
ogranot for all of them ...02:07
highvoltageand as far as i understand mhz is going to work with hno73 and do some nice moin tweaking02:07
ograbut for dapper its to late for such a big change anyway02:07
highvoltageso that we can do everything with moin we could with drupal.02:08
JaneWhighvoltage: I only figured out yesterday that drupal is 'drupal' <- afrikaans (well dutch actually) for drop02:08
flint_ogra, when is code freeze for dapper?02:08
JaneWhence the water droplet logo d'oh!02:08
ograflint_, feature freezy is 23rd 02:08
JaneWso from now on it's pronounced dripel ppl02:08
jsgotangcoogra, we can still drop the kde apps we're still not in freature freeze yet02:08
ograand i'm busy with ltsp and edubuntu-artwork until then02:08
mhzogra: I can do testings for apps, that this HW can do ok02:09
JaneWjsgotangco: er but we'd need to add replacements, and not sure we can still do that...02:09
flint_ogra, I blame all this talk of the dutch on you... :^)02:09
ograjsgotangco, but there is no time to get replacements in and if it fails we cant go back02:09
jsgotangcoright02:09
jsgotangcobut overflowing images ain't good02:09
jsgotangco(for other arches at least)02:09
ograi'll have to drop stuff, indeed02:09
JaneWagreed, but we have had that problem for a long time now02:09
highvoltageit'll be available on universe though02:10
ograand shuffle a bit ...02:10
highvoltageogra: how do you feel about a semi-official edubuntu add-on CD?02:10
ogralets just keep in mind to check the option to go gnome only in dapper+1  ...02:10
mhzhighvoltage: add-on cd?02:10
Riddellogra: how about all the python modules02:10
highvoltageogra: i'm not suggesting it, since i don't have time for it, but i think it's necassary to think about it02:10
flint_highvoltage, the ticket here is to use the automatix framework for addons.02:10
ograRiddell, i'll manage, dont woirry ....02:10
highvoltagemhz: a CD with some additional .deb's for KDE support and additional, relevant software02:11
mhzogra: cool, dapper +1. This way I can more easily make that edubuntu lite thing02:11
ograRiddell, if i drop python stuff elkner will come to my house and whine 24h a day ...02:11
highvoltageflint_: automatix? you've got a link to that?02:11
ograhighvoltage, no option for dapper02:11
ograeeek02:11
mhzhighvoltage: ahh, good idea02:11
highvoltageogra: and after that?02:11
jmonthello all, sorry that I am late for the meeting02:11
ograstop even talking about automatix crack while i'm in the room please ... i might go blind02:12
flint_highvoltage, google "ubuntu automatix"  it is multimedia heaven for breezy02:12
ograautomatics is the suck ...02:12
jsgotangcoheaven for people at the first but hell when they try to uninstall and upgrade02:12
ograit breaks users systems and upgradeability  ...02:12
flint_ogra, sorry ma man. it is a hack indeed02:12
ograi wont even give a line of support to any user who touched it ...02:13
=== mhz dislikes the automatix idea, flint_ ... too much a user dont see can't be good
flint_ogra, but it is in the spirit of hackish ness...02:13
jsgotangcooh you can see it, but its not a pretty sight02:13
JaneWok our time is up.02:13
ograits not supportable and breaks systems in intresting ways ... please dont advise it to anyone02:13
jsgotangcoscary sources.list02:13
highvoltageah yes, it does seem quite sucky, although we've done similar things in tuxlabs, due for change after we switch to dapper, of course.02:14
flint_ogra, i hear you.  however the framework that it developed may prove useful for addons.02:14
mhzjsgotangco: yes! well said. Automatix = Norton stuff02:14
mhzjsgotangco: I mean, they are = when trying to uninstall or upgrade :D02:14
jsgotangcoyeah02:14
highvoltagehacks are good in my opinion, but when it breaks more than it fixes, it's not worth while02:14
ograflint_, synaptic is fine for addon stuff 02:14
flint_ogra, I am just pleased that I can still create FITS on the channel!02:15
jmontisn't possible to made an Automatix version that simply don't break the system?02:15
jsgotangcowe should probably put edubuntu love in gnome-app-install02:15
highvoltagei was thinking of synaptic for the edubuntu add-on cd02:15
highvoltageapt-cdrom add ; apt-get install edubuntu-addons-all02:15
JaneWok I need to dash, thanks guys, and let's aim for more structure next time. So we can get to the good discussions sooner!02:15
jsgotangcojmont, gnome-app-install is much saner on this regard and can accomodate multiverse apps if needed02:15
highvoltageyes, cheers!02:15
=== ogra goes for food
flint_JaneW, good talking.  Ollie I may call you!02:16
mhzJaneW: +102:16
jmontjsgotangco, I undestand... so we should make gnome-app-install better than Automatix, and make ads about it02:16
jmontI mean, I know gnome-app-install is better... but we should improve it even more02:16
=== mhz goes back to #edubuntu and invites everyone there for a coffee break with JaneW's famous cakes
flint_jmont, keep in mind the framework is what i found facinating.  02:17
=== mhz [n=mhz_chil@moinmoin/fan/mhz] has left #ubuntu-meeting ["Leaving"]
jsgotangcosure its a nifty bash script02:17
jsgotangcoit can be improved upon02:18
flint_ogra, thanks for your insight on automatix02:18
jmontI understand..02:18
flint_ogra, i will contact you when I am back on the edubuntu machine...02:18
jmontflint_, Automatix is C/C++ powered?02:18
flint_jmont, na it is a buncha bash scripts with a gui on top (maybe pycard)02:19
jsgotangconope it looks more like a python card script02:19
flint_jsgotangco, ollie is correct it is NOT to ubuntu standard...02:20
flint_honestly that is what I found most charming about it.02:20
flint_...and it gave me muich multimedia...02:20
flint_be back soon...02:20
jsgotangcosure it gets lots of votes on the bling factor02:21
