flintJaneW, you know that I live to serve...  sorry for the delay, I am packing out of my room in South Boston.12:31
flintI basically spent yesterday listening to IBM and wondering why they havent heard the word "Ubuntu".12:31
flint:^)12:32
flintWed Apr  5 06:32:26 EDT 200612:32
sivangflint: they have, I can assure you :)12:33
sivangflint: you just need to talk to the right crowd :)12:33
flintsivang, you are wise in your knowledge that one sould understand the non monolothic nature of IBM.  Scratch the surface and you find genius warlords in a winners game for survival.  12:35

flintIt is 07:00 EDT so I am gonna kick off this edubuntu meeting by congratulating all01:07
flintour plan to keep edubuntu a secret is working perfectly! 01:07
flintno one no where anywhere at LinuxWorld Boston is advertising, offering, extending or acknowledging edubuntu.01:08
flintwe have succeded!  our secret is safe!01:08
flint... and this is despite my best efforts to the contrary.01:09
Seveasflint, edubuntu meeting is still an hour away ;)01:10
flintactually, the guys at the LTSP boot told me in private that they had "heard" of edubuntu, but that was off the record, and the sales guy at the WYSE booth wanted to sell me a buncha old xterms... Seveas give me space here I am on a rant...01:10
flint:^)01:11
Seveasflint, hehe, rant ahead ;)01:11
SeveasI'm not surprised though - edubuntu is still a very young project01:11
flintSeveas, jeez man the oldest thing at the show is me... it is a young biz.01:12
highvoltageflint: i'll be at linuxworld south africa, pimping edubuntu01:12
highvoltageJaneW: think you'll be able to make it there too?01:12
flinthighvoltage, you got a booth jonathan?  (Oh yea, you will also need a plad suit that is too tight and a very loud tie)01:13
flint:^)01:13
flinthighvoltage, otherwise you are perfect for this job.01:13
JaneWhighvoltage: sadly not, I asked silbs to pay for some piddly advertising and I got the usual terse NO01:14
=== highvoltage stares at flint with a confused expression
JaneWflint: not everyone here was alive in the 70s01:14
highvoltageJaneW: TSF has some free space, so if they could pay for your plane tickets, we could be there01:14
JaneWexcept you and I :P01:14
JaneWhighvoltage: I will see what I can do...01:14
flinthighvoltage, well, except for a fatal flaw which disqualifies you.  Knowledge of the facts and acutal insight into edubuntu.  sorry jonathan, fatal flaws...01:15
highvoltageisn'e elmo old too?01:15
=== highvoltage bites the bait
flintJaneW, except for the brain damage, I kinda liked the 70's...01:15
highvoltageflint: which flaw?01:15
=== sivang wished he has been born in the groovy 70s
flinthighvoltage, someone marketing cannot be burdened with a knowledge of the product.  that flaw.01:16
highvoltagesivang: no, don't. it would mean that you had to be a teenager in the 80's! heaven forbid!01:16
flintsivang, and go through life with a 50% iq reduction? na..01:16
highvoltageflint: i'm quite good with that, you should see me in action sometime01:16
flinthighvoltage, touche...01:17
highvoltage:)01:17
flint:^)01:17
sivangflint, highvoltage : would have been witness to the creation of personal computerss... :)01:18

JaneWit's supposed to be melted and injected (according to Train Spotting)01:38

flintfor the assembled masses I would like to re-open with my deathless prose...02:00
flintI would like to re-announce that our plan to keep edubuntu a secret is working perfectly!  No one anywhere at LinuxWorld Boston is advertising, offering, extending or acknowledging edubuntu.  Thus I remain pleased to report that we have succeded!  our secret is safe! Actually, the guys at the LTSP boot told me in private that they had "heard" of edubuntu, but that was off the record, and the sales guy at the WYSE booth wanted to 02:00
flintsell me a buncha old xterms... 02:00
flintthus concludes my report from Boston LinuxWorld USA.02:01
JaneWthanks flint02:01
JaneWok who is here for the Edubuntu meeting?02:02
flintJaneW, are you really putting that vast advertising budget the foundation is giving you into pain drugs?02:02
flint:^)02:02
JaneWflint we get no budget what so ever02:03
JaneWdespite several requests for a few small promotional and branding items02:04
JaneWthere's not much more I can do at this point, besides02:04
JaneW1) Give up02:04
ograand we dont have many community people in the US that could do such a booth (i only know three)02:04
JaneW2) Fund stuff myself02:04
ogra(two of them regulary attend this meeting)02:04
flintogra, I am gonna be teaching courses at three symposia in New England this quarter on edubuntu.  Think of the fees that I will garner from this!02:05
ograJaneW, edubuntu promotion on fairs works well in germany ... withot any funding02:05
=== jsgotangco [n=jsg@ubuntu/member/jsgotangco] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
flintogra, my fortune is assured.02:05
flint:^)02:06
flintso if JaneW would only share her drugs...02:06
ograflint, sure, but you are local, so either organize something yourself or stop complaining :P its a job for the LoCo teams, if they fail, complain at them02:06
flintogra, i am not complaining I am whining... there is a difference you know.02:07
flintbut the topic of budget is a dogged one. 02:07
ograedubuntu was at the Cebit, at the LinuxDays in Essen and will have a booth on LinuxTag in wiesbaden, without any intervention from canonical or from me02:07
jsgotangconor in LinuxWorld Manila02:08
ograthis much for germany ...02:08
ograoh and i forgot, it was as well on TV with the cebit booth02:08
jsgotangcosome people are good self starters :)02:08
flintogra, but germany is a socialist anarchy.02:08
flintamerica is a facist state.  we need to bribe the officials in power.  that takes a budget :^)02:09
=== jsgotangco doesn't feel comfortable when money is involved
flintI would propose that a new topic be considered - edubuntu budget.02:09
JaneWok money whining aside02:09
flintjsgotangco, you just hate politics...02:10
JaneWogra: everything ok on your side?02:10
ograyep 02:10
JaneWogra: good02:10
jsgotangcoflint: you're saying grassroots advocacy doesn't work02:10
ograi have not much to say ... 02:10
JaneWyou mentioned bugs from mdz02:10
ograwe had flight 602:10
JaneWare they edubuntu related or other02:10
ograyes, ubuntu bugs02:10
flintogra, kevin cole found a program that kills the terminals on flight 502:10
JaneWoic02:10
JaneWhow's flight 6 looking?02:10
JaneWAnyone tested it yet?02:11
jsgotangcosorry02:11
ograi thnik there are 3 or 4 edubuntu bugs among them02:11
JaneW(Note I am going to have to slow down the typing - hurts)02:11
=== jsgotangco tested ubuntu-server and hunted xorg bugs
ograone is from jsgotangco btw :) 02:11
flintJaneW, been playing in Boston...02:11
ograwe need a css for the about edubuntu page ;)02:11
flinthave not tested will test for Kevin Coles' bug when I get back to the lab.02:11
ograadditionally highvoltage made this beautiful document: http://jonathancarter.co.za/docs/ed-gs/02:12
ograi'll replace the contents of edubuntu-docs with it 02:12
jsgotangcothat's beautiful02:12
ograelse we're still waiting to see some of the designer artwork02:12
ograthats it so far from the tech side02:13
ograohhh02:13
flinthighvoltage, where do you find the time?  that page is excellent.02:13
ograand sabdfl approved that we can get rid of this darn "server" installoption02:13
JaneWogra: do you have an eta on the designer work02:13
ograit wont be on flight 7 i hopew02:13
JaneW?02:13
JaneWhighvoltage: nice doc! :))02:13
JaneWogra: won't?02:14
ograJaneW, nope02:14
ograapart from silbs telling me that my colors might get changed fopr the designer stuff i havent heard anything02:14
JaneWok02:14
ogra(i'm lagging like hell here ...)02:14
ogragrr02:15
jsgotangcoits already 2006 and we still experience lag02:15
ograJaneW, yes won't :)02:16
ografinally02:16
ograi was fighting for that since dapper started02:16
=== JaneW is lagged too
ograso this screen will only have: "install to HD" and "install a workstation" http://jonathancarter.co.za/docs/ed-gs/images/cdboot.png02:17
ogra(above the "Check ..." that is)02:18
flintogra, yea why would you only install as a server?02:19
ograflint, "server" actually means "minimal"02:19
ograthat confused a lot of people 02:19
ograbut renaming seems to be difficult, so we'll drop it completely02:20
jsgotangcoeven ubuntu-server has better options02:20
jsgotangcomore descriptive02:20
flintogra, thankfully i am too illiturate to get confused...02:20
ograflint, and i thought guess you are just too lazy and hit enter for the default selection (the first one) :)02:21
ogra-guess02:21
flintogra, what you call lazy i call excellent user interface design. 02:21
ograhehe02:21
flint:^)  god I am a suckup.02:22
=== highvoltage arrives
ogranext topic ?02:23
highvoltageflint: i created that page over friday evening and saturday morning :)02:23
=== freeflying-ibook [n=freeflyi@61.190.65.36] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
ograhighvoltage, we'll need to go through it once ... there are still some things in that need fixing ... but i think its the best doc we ever had up to now, thanks a lot02:24
jsgotangco\o/02:24
highvoltageogra: np, there'll more where that came from02:24
highvoltage(be more)02:24
ogra:)02:24
ograjsgotangco, does ff open help:// links in yelp ? 02:25
highvoltagejust on the website stuff, the theming is coming along okay, although not completed yet.02:25
jsgotangcoogra: it doesn't02:25
ogrameh02:25
ograit would be cool to link it from the ff default page ...02:25
highvoltagewe'll be able to finish up when the edubuntu theming is finalised, since we want the website to resemble the system, building better brand assosiation02:25
JaneWsorry I just had an nb phone call02:25
jsgotangcoogra: it doesn't even know irc://02:25
oliveit does, if help:// is set in gconf 02:25
ograolive, oh, thats good news, i'll look into it02:26
ograthanks for the hint :)02:26
jsgotangcoyou don't want to put it in yelp instead? it'll have a shiny new frontpage02:27
ograi think it should reside among the UbuntuServer Guide and the other docs in there 02:28
flintogra, I gotta say your idea of a ff link sounds good to me.02:28
=== Lure [n=lure@external-7.hermes.si] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
ograi'm not sure if we can ship ubuntu-docs at all :( 02:29
jsgotangcohrmmm02:29
ograsince i was told it will grow a lot02:29
jsgotangcothose are good docs02:29
highvoltageogra: about the Schooltool link, will we get one in firefox or in the gnome-menus?02:29
ograhighvoltage, i'd prefer ff02:29
highvoltageogra: me 2.02:30
flintogra, surely you cannot have space on the CD for jonathans page do you?02:30
highvoltagecurrently it's about 600k large (which is quite big)02:30
highvoltagebut if i save the images as jpegs (which will distort them slightly), it should be able to come down to 200k02:31
ograflint, highvoltages page will be ~2M with screenshots in the end ... ubuntu-docs might grow to 10M or more02:31
ogras/will/might/02:31
highvoltagealthough it's not complete yet, so when the docuemnt is more complete it will probably lean toward 400k02:31
jsgotangcocan you optimize the pngs?02:31
jsgotangcopngcrush or something02:31
flintogra, you are a wizard, get over here and pack my suitcase! :^)02:31
ograsure you can use pngcrunch02:31
flintogra, jpegs are always firefox tasty02:32
highvoltageok, i'll try that instead of using jpegs02:32
ograwe dont ship any language packs in the CD currently ... i'll need to make room before release for at least some of them02:32
flintogra, got to have european languages.  the chinese have a whole wall at this show (no kidding)02:34
JaneWogra: how do you select them?02:34
JaneWby most popular?02:34
ograi guess so ...02:34
JaneWok, and then the rest will have to be d/led02:34
ograi thought selecting the same way ubuntu does (which is by most popular)02:34
ograbut we probably should take into account where *we* are most popular02:35
jsgotangcoremove OOo then replace it with abiword, gnumeric and magicpoint :)02:35
=== jsgotangco hides
flintJaneW, I recommend the list begin with German and Dutch :^)02:35
ograflint, these are not very popular 02:35
ogra(probably place 15 from the 90 langs we have)02:36
highvoltagejsgotangco: or gnome with xfce :)02:36
flintogra, I like 'em :^)02:36
jsgotangcohighvoltage: aye, the xubuntu flight 6 is pretty solid02:36
jsgotangcostill ate 1.2GB of HD though02:36
ograwe dont care about HDs :)02:37
ograonly about isos ;)02:37
jsgotangcotrue though 02:37
flintwe care about CD's02:37
highvoltagejsgotangco: i'm running xfce now, it's really come a far way, definately a strong candidate as default desktop in edubuntu, imo. ogra seems to agree there too, so i'm quite excited about that.02:37
jsgotangcoand we still get gtk2 love02:37
ograi dont agree for it as default, but optional :)02:38
flintthis is when you say, one language one CD.  Many languages one DVD.02:38
ograflint, we cant ship only one language on the CD 02:39
=== jarufe [n=jarufe@pc-155-140-104-200.cm.vtr.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
flintkinda like the mondo mindi layout.  a core iso and options to fill the available space...02:39
flintI did not say which language.  how many lang packs could you get on a CD comfortably...02:40
jsgotangco102:40
jsgotangco:D02:40
flintjsgotangco, I think it is better than that. Gnome does amazing things with languages.02:40
=== raphink [n=raphink@ubuntu/member/raphink] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
ograflint, but KDE doesnt02:41
ograwe ship both by default ... the KDE packs eat a lot more space02:41
jsgotangco\o_ K D E _o/02:41
ograsince they contain *all* translations for the *whole* KDE .... while we need translations for 6 apps or so02:42
flintogra, I never even tried to get to KDE.  It installs by default, oh it must to support kde based apps!02:42
=== pips1 [n=philipp@hsz-hgkz.isz.ch] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
ograyep02:42
=== flint senses a bitterness from ogra on this topic...
ograi dont know if we'd have an option to split out kdeedu packs, pitti might know02:43
flintbut you cannot get around supporting the KDE apps.  so you need lang packs for both kde and gnome...02:44
flintnot to mention the actual console packs.02:44
flintogra, suppose we attacked the three packs with a spell check tokenizer per language?02:45
ogra??02:46
highvoltageflint: you'll still be able to run KDE apps, if you apt-get install a KDE app, it will download the KDE libraries too02:46
ogra"spell check tokenizer" ?02:46
highvoltageflint: so it's not like KDE will be completely unsuported02:46
ograi still want to drop the KDE stuff asap02:46
jsgotangcoogra: you'll be supporting them for 5 years though02:47
flinteach language has a spell checker, and if you took each lang pack and tokenized it based on the spell checker crib, you could gain dramatic compression improvement.02:47
ograyes, but i dont want to have the same issue with the next 5 year release02:47
flinttokenized the lang pack that is.02:47
highvoltageogra: you mean after release, of course?02:47
flintsadly this is a research project we have neither the time or resources to go after.02:48
ograhighvoltage, dropping KDE ? yes ...02:48
highvoltageok02:48
highvoltagei think the sooner the better (after release).02:48
ograelse it would already have been dropped02:48
highvoltageheh.02:49
ograwe need replacements first 02:49
ograand apps like kalzium are hard to replace02:49
flintas I understand it there are 6  specific packages that need the kde stuff. 02:49
ogra(its winning awards all over the world)02:49
ograflint, nope02:50
ograonly one package .... 6 apps02:50
flintok gotcha.02:50
ograi just talked to pitti in -devel, he said its technically no problem, but it will produce another 100 packages02:50
ogra(one for every lang)02:50
highvoltagegeez02:51
ograi'll need to discuss it with him ...02:51
ograand also see how much we'd really gain with it02:51
flintI am out of time... thanks for the kind words...02:52
flintsksk02:52
ograciao flint 02:52
ograso any artwork/doc/community stuff left ? 02:52
highvoltagenot for today, from my side.02:53
jsgotangcoi can only bughunt/test for this cycle for now02:53
ograok, so lets close the meeting then ...02:53

ograJaneW, he taled about 9:00 UTC02:58
ogra*talked02:58
JaneWogra: ok good03:00
JaneWI appologise for being a bit spaced out03:00
JaneWI agree with flint that we need to focus on getting Edubuntu out there with the Dapper release03:01
JaneWand will need more of a marketing and awareness drive03:01
JaneWwe have hung back due to Breezy being a bit limited, but now we need to get people using it and talking about it MORE03:01
JaneWand the documentation is important to achieveing that goal03:02
JaneWIMO03:02
ograsure ...03:02
ograbut i'm fine with jonathans doc for now ... if we dont get a cookbook, we'll at least have this one ...03:02
JaneWso more stuff like highvoltage's doc will be good03:03
JaneWyes agreed03:03
JaneWit's neat, friendly, easy to read and understand03:03
JaneWthat what we need03:03
ograadditionally i'm writing a bunch of LTSP docs, merge them, add some info about the edu apps, and you have a cookbook03:03
JaneWexcellent03:03
ogradid you ever take a look at the server guide and the admin guide from dappers ubuntu-docs ? 03:04
ograit covers already most of our stuff 03:05
pips1ogra, is that server guide you are talking about in the 'Help' of Dapper?03:06
ograyep03:06
pips1ok, i shall check it out03:06

luzijani said that he'll be late04:11
Gloubiboulgaluzi, ok thanks :)04:11
Gloubiboulgathere are only 2 items which need to be discussed: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XubuntuMeetingAgenda-2006-04-0504:13
=== sivang checks the agenda
=== sivang wonders if installing xubuntu-desktop will clash with ubuntu-desktop
Gloubiboulgasivang, I don't think so04:15
Gloubiboulgabut there's a problem with kubuntu-desktop04:16
luziGloubiboulga, what do you think about the logo?04:16
Gloubiboulgaluzi, as I write on the ML, I'm not sure that the mouse in the logo is really the best idea04:17
Gloubiboulga*wrote04:17
sivangGloubiboulga: where can the logo be seen ?04:17
sivang(I don't have xubuntu installed)04:17
Gloubiboulgasivang, http://www.dsslive.org/xubuntu/tmp/artworks/html/logos.html04:18
Gloubiboulgathe column on the right are some proposed logos04:18
luziand https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XubuntuArtwork04:18
sivangwhy the mouse?04:18
olivewhy not ? :)04:18
=== sivang feels this like denotes weakness
=== anstei [n=anstei@84-73-60-31.dclient.hispeed.ch] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
Kinnisonsivang: The xfce logo is a mouse iirc04:19
Gloubiboulgathe mouse is the Xfce logo04:19
RiddellGloubiboulga: what's the problem with kubuntu-desktop?04:19
ansteihi everyone, sorry i'm a bit late04:19
ograRiddell, it installs KDE ? 04:20
GloubiboulgaRiddell, let me find the message in the xubuntu ml04:20
thomerzhmm i like the logo with the mouse :)04:20
sivangKinnison: you also interested in Xubuntu ? :)04:20
GloubiboulgaRiddell, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2006-April/000888.html04:20
Kinnisonsivang: I used to comaintain the xfce packages in debian04:20
=== Riddell politely ignores ogra
ogra:)04:20
=== sivang apologizes fo rthe ignorance about the mouse
Gloubiboulgaso, about the mouse, I think that Xubuntu is not Ubuntu with Xfce04:21
RiddellGloubiboulga: ok, I'll give that some testing soon04:21
luzimaybe it's a bit more than ubuntu and xfce, but these two are the 'main components'04:21
Gloubiboulgaxubuntu's aim is to be light, that's why xfce has been choosen04:21
GloubiboulgaRiddell, thanks :)04:22
Gloubiboulgaluzi, that's true04:22
Gloubiboulgaanyone else has a point of vue on this logo question ?04:24
Gloubiboulgawe should vote for this :)04:24
luzii agree with some people on the ML: the logo with the mouse is good, the colors are too KDEish04:25
luzii like these colors: http://www.doink.ch/xubuntu-logo/04:26
Gloubiboulgaso what about a grey logo (with or without the mouese)?04:26
luzigrey would be good, too04:26
Gloubiboulgaluzi, I like the second one04:26
luziit's more or less the colors from the Xfce.org webpage ...04:27
jurjenstluzi: I too like some more blue in it... only grey is too flat04:27
jurjenstthe top logo in the luzi page would be my pick04:28
jurjenstperhaps with the bigger greyed mouse of the other logo page04:28
jurjenstthe triangle logo would be too way off from the xfce logo to be understood04:30
=== ..[topic/#ubuntu-meeting:Ubugtu] : Current meeting: Xubuntu | Calendar: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/event | Logs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/ | 06 Apr 08:00 UTC: Dapper Development Status | 11 Apr 20:00 UTC: Technical Board | 12 Apr 12:00 UTC: Edubuntu | 12 Apr 14:00 UTC: Xubuntu | 13 Apr 14:00 UTC: Dapper Development Status
Gloubiboulgaok, so I guess that (almost) every one agree with the mouse in the logo04:30
Gloubiboulgaand colours could be grey/blue04:30
luziyep, i  think you're right04:31
Gloubiboulgalets wait the big boss and we'll define the one we pick then, ok?04:31
luzialright04:32
Gloubiboulga2. goodies meta package :)04:32
Gloubiboulgathis package can't be installed for the moment, but could be fixed04:33
GloubiboulgaI think that it should be installable, now that isos are available04:33
Gloubiboulgafor now the policy was to wait after the non-yet-ported plugins to be ported04:34
=== ddonky [n=don@66-190-240-198.dhcp.klmt.or.charter.com] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
Gloubiboulgait's a more technical question.. any thoughs?04:35
Gloubiboulgaok... :)04:36
jurjenstYou mean a package that installs the most common xfce packages even if you already have the normal ubuntu desktop installed?04:39
jurjenstor an add-on on the xubuntu release CD?04:40
Gloubiboulgajurjenst, not really, it's a package that installs all the panel applets04:40
Gloubiboulgait can't be on the CD because thoses applets are in universe04:40
jurjenstah... and xubuntu should be as lean as possible?04:41
Gloubiboulgabut it'd make things easier to install several tools in one shot04:41
=== G0SUB [n=ghoseb@ubuntu/member/g0sub] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
Gloubiboulgajurjenst, it's a good way to discover Xfce possibilities for new users imo04:43
sivangomg, this is amazing04:43
jurjenstwhen it's in universe... I don't know if it is worth the effort... 04:44
sivanglooks like a better GNOME04:44
jurjenstjust get the most common tools in main would be better04:44
Gloubiboulgajurjenst, yes I agree04:44
=== luzi_ [n=luzi@dhcp-203-14-vpn.unizh.ch] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
jurjenstwhen it is very usefull get it on the CD by default04:44
GloubiboulgaI don't think that it's *very* usefull, even if i'd like to see the panel plugins on the CD04:45
jurjenstperhaps a specific version of add/remove programs would be nice with losts of goodies04:45
Gloubiboulgajurjenst, good idea :)04:46
jurjenstit is possible to create seperate data files for add/remove applications for xfce?04:46
=== _mvo_ [n=egon@p54A658CA.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
GloubiboulgaI don't know04:47
jurjenstit is far more work than a small dep application but it would be much better for people to browse without getting everything installed directly04:48
Gloubiboulgaindeed04:48
luzi_jurjenst, which add/remove app are you talking about?04:49
=== pips1 [n=philipp@hsz-hgkz.isz.ch] has left #ubuntu-meeting ["Leaving"]
Gloubiboulgathe one which comes with ubuntu I think04:50
jurjenstis xfce4-appfinder something like the ubuntu add/remove applications (the one in the start menu?)04:51
luzi_i don't think the gnome add/remove app is planned for xubuntu04:52
Gloubiboulgajurjenst, no, it lists installed applications04:52
=== luzi_ is now known as luzi
jurjenstit looked like it... :(04:53
Gloubiboulgajurjenst, just to make things clear: your idea is to install plugins in the default install and set up a add/remove dialog box, right?04:54
Gloubiboulgaor the add/remove would install the package too?04:54
jurjenstI tink it is best to port the gnome-app-install package to xfce (it is written in python) or is the GTK+ library already in your distro...04:57
jurjenstand then create xml files for the goodies04:57
Gloubiboulgaok04:57
jurjenstis GTK already on the iso?04:57
Gloubiboulgayes, Xfce uses GTK04:58
=== slomo [n=slomo@ubuntu/member/slomo] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
jurjenstso it's possible to just write xml files for all your favourite apps and package a xfce-app-finder... it will take some days work but it would be nice ;)04:59
Gloubiboulgajurjenst, would you be interested/could you work on this?05:00
Gloubiboulgawe'll have to discuss this with Jani first, but if he's ok...05:00
jurjenstit even looks like a single file:  /usr/share/gnome-app-install/featured.txt with all the packages...05:02
luziGloubiboulga, do you think jani is still coming? i've got to leave soon...05:03
jurjenstso I you give me a list of your fav files it should be a breeze to package... just some polish love05:03
Gloubiboulgaluzi, I don't think so :(05:03
jurjenstGloubiboulga: can you create a file with one package name for earch line and put it online somewhere?05:04
Gloubiboulgajurjenst, yep I think so :)05:04
jurjenstthe rest of the info seams to be pulled out of dpkg05:04
Gloubiboulgajurjenst, could you join #xubuntu ?05:04
