[12:17] hehehe [12:17] cbx33: oooh, sorry, it was crimsun [12:17] mhz: what sort of [free] workshops have you guys/gals held for said teachers?\ [12:18] crimsun: i did not get that [12:18] grrrr [12:18] :p [12:18] hehe [12:18] see pm [12:18] mhz, [12:18] later all [12:19] mhz: Have you held any workshops/gatherings/presentations for teachers? [12:19] crimsun: yes I have [12:19] about 7 [12:19] in last 9 months [12:20] oh, sorry, crimsun ... about 19 edubuntu demos, 7 talks/presentations [12:23] mhz: what kind of feedback/response did you get from those teachers? [12:24] crimsum: a) ooh, good, I want that too but how is this diff from Edulinux [12:24] crimsun: b) hmm, I have no computers and can't afford them, Can you also provide them [12:25] "the one on JaneW looks sexy" <- so we agree on many things [12:25] crimsun: c) cool! Please go to my school. I go there, and there are about 40 students in a class, and the lab has only 10 pcs, Pentium II [12:25] but sharing goes only so far ;) [12:25] RichEd: LOL!!!

[08:38] where when you shoot molecules with lots and lots of photons you actually start slowing them down [08:38] we have a project in my lab that does some similar stuff [08:38] highvoltage: did you change your jabber? [08:38] we want to trap the molecules and then use the laser to start them spinning [08:38] highvoltage: jabberafrica.org doesn't exist anymore right?

[08:41] jsgotangco: yes, it doesn't exist anymore [08:41] jsgotangco: i'm now jonathan@jabber.org [08:41] highvoltage: not with info on that project [08:41] what happens when you make molekules spin in a stationary position? [08:41] do you build small engines and stuff? [08:42] we will turn them into gyroscopes [08:42] all spinning in the same direction [08:42] they you can shoot them at other molecules ;-) [08:42] ah yes.

[12:48] :) [12:51] RichEd: And what you learned out of it? :) === rodarvus [n=rodarvus@ubuntu/member/rodarvus] has joined #edubuntu [12:51] i dont agree with that [12:52] rodarvus, ! [12:52] if its a serious bug in a windows application, im more than happy to report it [12:52] because im not the only one whose going to benefit when it gets fixed (hopefully) [12:54] good morning [12:55] hi ogra! [12:55] yes, but there is always a feeling that the people at MS are looking too deply into your personal details [12:55] it may be a predjudice on my behalf, but i'm sure i am not the only one ! [12:56] rodarvus, i'd like a opinion about a change i plan in ltsp [12:56] pygi : i feel glad to be part of a community ... not a consumer of a corporate product [12:56] ogra: go ahead :) [12:57] jim morrison said: the police are supposed to look over us, now they look at us <- i guess that's how i feel about the "MS commercial machine" [12:57] rodarvus, we constantly have problems with people changing their IP on the ltsp server and not being able to login afterwards because they forget to run ltsp-update-sshkeys [12:58] rodarvus, the idea is to add a /etc/network/if-up.d/ script that generates them every time the interface comes up (afer te IP is set) [12:58] RichEd: :) [12:59] ogra: seems quite sane, imho - we just need to check if LTSP is setup before running the script [12:59] that will slow down the interface configuration a bit but would guarantee that the keys are always in pace [12:59] but otherwise, should be ok [01:00] rodarvus, ltsp-update-sshkeys already has these checks in my local branch ... i also switched it to use logger for its output, so we have feedback in /var/log/messages [01:00] /var/log/messages is probably not a good place for that [01:00] ok, if you think thats sane, i'll do the switch [01:00] thast what logger uses by default [01:01] correct, but only by default :) [01:01] i can use logger -f with any file you like, which would be your preferred one ? [01:02] daemon.log ? syslog ? [01:03] there is no ltsp specific log, yet? [01:03] waht for ? [01:03] theo only things that could log there would be dhcpd or sshd [01:03] but they log in daemon log anyway [01:03] yes, overkill, indeed [01:04] I was just wondering it would be nice to have a central place to have ltsp-related logs to go (such as we have for samba, apache, squid, etc) [01:04] (ssh even scatters its info over daemon and auth log) [01:04] i had that for the installer, but even there Kamion asked me to make it included into the main installer log [01:05] right [01:05] (which i'm not really fond of ... having a separate ltsp log there would be a lot easier than grepping) [01:06] maybe syslog [01:06] but the in-target function of the installer seems to not allow that ... i was thinking of parallel logging to a separate log *inside* of ltsp-build-client [01:06] as its a semi-generic system event [01:07] (which would mean we have a /var/log/ltsp-build.log in the target system after install [01:07] this is weird. as i'm reading ogra and rodarvus's text i'm hearing it in their accents in my head. [01:07] ok, putting it in sslog [01:07] *syslog [01:07] highvoltage, hehe === highvoltage takes a break [01:09] haha [01:10] highvoltage: apparently you really need a break :D === ogra wonders if debian will slay him for that /etc/network/if-up.d/ change ... its not helpful if you use xdmcp [01:11] well, we don't use xdmcp [01:11] but they do in some setups [01:12] but its up to them, they can add a preseedable debconf option to ltsp-server to not install the script ... [01:17] RichEd: that ("i feel glad to be part of a community ... not a consumer of a corporate product") is so very very well put! [01:18] bimberi: it's just us ... in my olde worlde it was us & them [01:20] :) [01:22] yes, there's a very different _feel_ about using Free software [01:31] ogra: is edubuntu-membership also free-for-all (as with edubuntu-testers?) [01:31] for the edubuntu team, yes ... not for edubuntu-members though ... [01:32] i'm not sure we schould keep the edubuntu team ... it predates edubuntu-members [01:32] and has not really any functional use ... [01:32] actually, I agree with you here. [01:33] (apart from perpole declaring they like edubuntu ) [01:33] lets add this as subject for the next meeting? [01:33] ok [01:33] i'm not sure how to close a LP team though [01:33] or if thats even possible [01:33] LP people can probably do it [01:34] they ca for sure [01:34] *can [01:34] but still we'd need to notify the users about *why* we're doing it ... there are many users that never participated in any communication channel (IRC/ML) [01:35] i wouldnt like to just kill the team without pushing them a bit into direction of real membership [01:35] I suppose we can just send a spam to all of the members of Edubuntu [01:35] not through LP ... sadly [01:36] there is a mailinglist feature for teams panned, but that doesnt work yet [01:36] *planned [01:36] ogra, we can just remove them from the team and do a comment that we are erasing the team [01:36] with a hint to apply for real membership ... yes, that sounds good [01:37] indeed [01:37] tho, from a lot of people there we havent heard never [01:37] yep [01:37] ogra: how about this ... [01:37] but that doesnt mean we should loose tem :) [01:37] *them [01:38] there's a kubuntu-users team that for "All users of Kubuntu!", how about renaming the edubuntu team to that and let it work the same way [01:38] ogra: ofcourse [01:38] s/that/edubuntu-users/ [01:38] bimberi, that sounds way better than deleting it ... [01:39] and we can still send that notification to make them aware of edubuntu-members :) [01:39] it's just an open team that anyone can join and you never know it might be a way you can contact a group of users in the future [01:39] yes, thats one of the desired LP features ... [01:39] (although the mailing list is fine for that :) ) [01:40] seems like a great idea [01:40] yeah [01:40] https://launchpad.net/people/kubuntu-users (for ref) === ogra rebotts to test the ltsp change === Yagisan [n=jamie@doomsday/developer/Yagisan] has joined #edubuntu === jsgotangco [n=jsg123@ubuntu/member/jsgotangco] has joined #edubuntu === ogra [n=ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra] has joined #edubuntu === highvoltage is still finding ldap incredibly difficult [03:06] dont use it then :) [03:06] rsync /etc/passwd and /etc/groups and /etc/shadow through ssh ;) [03:13] ogra ... ready for some more good OEM news ? [03:15] kc from taiwan has a strong enquiry from Quanta computers for Ubuntu OEM OLPC [03:17] you can have OEM OLPC's? that's interesting. [03:19] They will plan a new US $200 OLPC product for richer children and want to know how to bundle ubuntu Linux in any business model. [03:25] cool. [03:25] YAY [03:25] rodarvus, ^^^^^^^^^^ [03:25] RichEd, rodarvus is our OLPC guy :) [03:26] :) [03:26] RichEd: thats great news! [03:27] this is forbes.com --- start [03:27] Lam is the billionaire founder and chairman of Taiwan's Quanta Computer. He'll be disappointed if he doesn't ship 4 million notebook units this yearone seventh of all those sold on earth and up 50% from last year. Quanta makes more notebooks than anyone else, but you've probably never heard of it. You do know its customers: Dell, Compaq, Gateway, Apple, HP, IBM, Sony, Sharp, Fujitsu, Siemens. [03:27] this is forbes.com --- end [03:27] :)) [03:28] RichEd: so this is all public info already? [03:28] wow [03:29] an enquiry thus far ... nothing formal as yet ... [03:29] but they are approaching us [03:30] nice [03:44] that's cool [03:46] that's interesting, although i did hear before of a plan to create a very cheap laptop [03:46] the cheapest you can get here is around $300US [03:47] and its not even a laptop, but a tiny mobo in a laptop shell with lcd but no battery =( [04:06] apparently intel is manufacturing a cheap laptop for $400 [04:08] have you heard of the VIAC3 [04:09] yep, i'm workign on VIA C3 PC's as we speak. [04:09] I have a few hundred of them just behind me :) [04:09] how do you find them [04:09] we're going to use them for the digital doorway project [04:09] terminal clients? [04:09] CSIR bought them from VIA in taiwan. [04:10] well, they were build to be used as thin clients, we're going to use them for diskless fat clients. [04:11] yeah theyre the cheapest x86 you can get in this part of the globe === bddebian [n=bdefrees@mail.ottens.com] has joined #edubuntu [04:11] these are Via C3 1ghz with 512MB RAM, and S3 Savage 3D display cards [04:11] quite nice. [04:13] are they real 1GHz? [04:13] Howdy === jsgotangco bows at bddebian [04:14] Heya jsgotangco [04:17] jsgotangco: as far as I can tell [04:17] cpuinfo says 997 mhz [04:17] hmm not bad [04:20] jsgotangco: those machines will go into these boxes: http://www.digitaldoorway.co.za/ [04:21] are you building kiosks? [04:22] kind of. i'm just working on the software side. the metal cages will be built by a contractor. [04:22] but yes, these are kiosks. [04:23] but it doesn't have a coin slot right? [04:23] its unrestricted use? [04:24] they have a lot of stuff like that in korea, except that theyre more used for communication and info and you have to put coins or your credit card [04:24] and only has an on screen keyboard [04:25] jsgotangco: no, it doesn't have a coin slot, yes, unrestricted use [04:26] jsgotangco: interesting [04:26] and they run win2k! [04:26] [04:27] whohoo! a whole win2k license just to browse the web and read e-mail! [04:27] people seem to love wasting money.
