=== mhz is so glad to meet people from embedded development
mhzjsgotangco: the thing is that opie desktop roms seems to suck the crappy battery power very quickly04:51
jsgotangcoi thought it was from the kernel instead of the desktop?04:52
mhzand Sharp ROMs are not for me, but battery lasts longer04:52
mhzopie desktop based roms04:52
mhzjsgotangco: anyways, besides that battery issue, my current prob. is that older sharp ROM had Addressbook,xml04:53

mhzcurrent Sharp ROM does not have any addressbook file04:54
mhzor one I can find04:54
jsgotangcoyes04:54

mhzjsgotangco: i am still waiting for your "let me check"05:53
HedgeMageA chemically-caused migraine (as opposed to the less severe ones normally brought on by stress) often show red spots along with light nausea as early symptoms, even if you never get to the headache part.05:53
YagisanHedgeMage, can't say. I've been in 2 different states with the same issue. It just got worse lately - more then just mildly annoying05:53

Yagisanmhz, 12 years is a lot of stress05:55

ograRichEd, rodarvus, i just got a call from the car rental, seems i can only pick up the truck for my final move at 12:00 UTC tomorrow, could one of you lead the meeting ? 03:31
rodarvussure, no problem03:32
RichEdhi ... i am willing to chari but may need some help ... perhaps we can both work together ?03:32
RichEdchair <- chari03:32
RichEdhi mhz :)03:33
mhzhi RichEd 03:33
RichEdmy email response was very brief, but i am giving your issues some good thought for a meaningful respnse03:33
ograthe general agenda is on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdubuntuMeetingAgenda ... there is nothing special on the plan...03:34
mhzRichEd: ;) take your time, it was lot of info03:34
RichEdthe issues you face are common in many countries ... and resources are limited if we try to tackle each one by one03:34
RichEdi hope to find a way of addresing your issues, that we can rollover into other territories ... sustained growth .. rather than a short term focus & then move on03:35
mhzindeed, however, having a more unite solution would help a lot in lobbying for support in each country03:35
RichEdyes ... as I said S America & Africa & "other developing nations" have similar issues03:36
RichEdso we need a plan ... not a once off solution.03:37
RichEdogra ... no problem ... looks fine ... i am happy to chair.03:39
mhzyup, agree03:39
ogragreat 03:39
ograthanks in advance ... i might be back in 15mins anyway, but i'm not sure03:39
=== jsgotangco peeks
RichEdi know that JaneW was doing this meeting organisation & charing before ... and was kind of dumped on you. if you would ratehr free up your time & headpace for coding, we can discuss me taking it off your shoulders.03:40
RichEd(back in 15 mins ... quick collection duty)03:41
mhznice, it stays in weideman realms ;)03:41
ograwell, i usually have to give the tech update anyway, so i can chair as well ... but rotating the chairman at some point in the future would be fine the 03:41

=== th1a_ [n=th1a@pool-64-223-34-183.prov.east.verizon.net] has joined #edubuntu
mhzogra: is there a more updated verion of schooltool available (packaged) or that someone is working on currently for edubuntu?04:06
ograthere is an updated debian package ... but that seems to have only minor tweaks and i'm sure doko will care for it if he updtaes zope04:08
mhzogra: and then, that means we will get a more "convincing" schooltool to demo shipped by edubuntu edgy? (current is good, but the few people I have demo schooltool to they go to the project's home page and see the other features and then ask me about them)04:11
ogramhz, i somewhat rely on the packages from debian ... 04:13
jintymhz: what you are asking for is actually very difficult;) even if you don't consider that upgrading to a development version can do very bad things to the schooltool database.04:13
mhzjinty: oh, why?04:13
ograbecause development versions may have bugs :)04:14
ograeven the kin of bugs that wipe your DB ;)04:14
ogra*kind04:14
=== mhz is interested because in Colombia, some guys are working on a php thing that is aimed towards similar objectives (but php :( )
mhzogra: eeek, 04:15
ograthats what dev versions are for ;)04:15
mhzi see04:15
jintybecause if there is a bug in the database upgrade script in a development version (as there have been) and you use it on a live database. The schooltool developers are probably not interested in hearing your problems.04:15
mhzjinty: ogra, okis04:17
RichEdmhz: i am having a sidebar email conversation with Tom around SchoolTool04:18
jintybut, mhz, if you want a demo to show people, have a look at demo.schooltool.org04:18
mhzI'll have patience and see what colombians are doing, and try to have arguments to convince teachers to wait for schooltool or just help in developing (if they know zope)04:18
RichEdwe will probably have an IRC chat about it later this week ... i am keen for input from others to get all views04:18
RichEdwe (edubuntu) don't want to develop apps & features that other people are working towards ...04:19
mhzjinty: yeah :) But the ide is schools implement Edubuntu after my demos 04:19
mhzide =idea04:19
=== mhz is not complaining, btw
mhzRichEd: exactly04:20
RichEdbut we want to plug gaps in functionality that hamper adoption.04:20
jintymhz: bug me again after the next zope3.3 and I can point you to a private repository containing the latest schooltool packages04:21
mhzTom is a nice guy (so far, hehehe) and I know he's making good efforts on taking schooltool to a nice 'suite'04:21
mhzjinty: thx, I will 04:21
=== mhz is not usre jinty wants mhz to bug him
mhzusre =sure04:22
RichEdmhz: agreed but same sort of background constraints ... limited resource bandwidth04:22
mhzlol04:22
RichEdideally we want to develop the best operating platform ...04:22
mhzyeah, same old story :(04:22
RichEdand let others develop on top of that04:23
RichEdwe need to help them ... and work together towards a common education goal ...04:23
=== jinty cannot build working packages until the next zope3.3 beta and surely will forget to let mhz he has actually built them
mhzRichEd: iirc, Tom told us that it was difficult to find people developing on zope04:23
mhz(zope 3)04:23
RichEdbut we can't develop all things for all people ... would dilute our offering too much.04:23
RichEdyep .. he has sent me a long background email ... would you like to scan it and send comment ?04:24
jsgotangco?04:24
mhzRichEd: sure. The good thing about education, is that objectives may vary, approach may vary, but needs are usually the same04:24
mhzRichEd: cool, sure04:25
jsgotangcowhy oh why is our Edubuntu meeting at 4am again04:25
jsgotangcooh wait04:25
jsgotangco8pm04:25
RichEdyep ... so if we pool the end requirements, divide them up, and all specialise, there should be enough of us to get around to it all.04:25
=== jsgotangco hides in shame
mhzjsgotangco: hehehe04:26
mhzjsgotangco: see? smoking can kill you... it affects your vision, and so, you may get a heart attack if you keep seeing meetings are at 4 am every week :D04:26
jsgotangcoi dont care it tastes good in the morning04:27
=== dan_young [n=dyoung@fw13x.mesd.k12.or.us] has joined #edubuntu
mhzRichEd: 100% agreed, and one difficult thing for me so far in Chile is that teachers are kind of relactant (not sure to participate?) to help in a community fashion, esp. when it is about producing content 04:28
jsgotangcodon't ask them for help[04:29
mhzso, specialisation in evangelizing teachers is one area :)04:29
jsgotangcolet them come to you04:29
mhzjsgotangco: that is why I am commited to demo Edubuntu at least once a week04:29
jsgotangcofocus on the benfefit of using free software rather than the features04:29
mhzmy guess is that out 100 teachers seeing edubuntu in action, at least 5 would come to us04:30
jsgotangcoor else they will just compare to the competition04:30
mhzjsgotangco: good point. I have written 3 articles for a magazine focused on education needs in Chile. Those articles are all related to more philosophical principles on why FLOSS is so key on education, and how it benefits the entire educatioanl community04:31
RichEdwell i hope that once i have met sabdfl & silbs face to face (Aug 2-3) we can come up with an "agreed focused education message" ... not just an education version of ubuntu, but what we are hoping to provide (in terms of resultant human time or work or education improvements)04:32
mhznice, it is needed04:32
jsgotangcoare you going to london?04:32
RichEdonce we have the clear target message (in a tailored version (or POV) for all audiences) we can then work in the same direction04:33
RichEdus (internally), and our partners04:33
RichEdyes ... london ... mark & jane realise that due to the number of enquiries and the great reception by the community to the excellent work done thus far, it now needs a focus which they have not had the time to provide themselves04:34
RichEdso i am here to help with that ... that's the way i see it.04:35
jsgotangcothats good news wish i could devote more time in the future though04:35
ograi think its more 04:37
ogralike taking the right decisions for the software we ship etc ...04:37
RichEdogra: agreed ... with a lot of guidance from inside & outside04:38
ajmitchogra: I notice there's a couple of specs waiting on network-auth (blueprint has a fancy graph now) - what parts are you needing done?04:39
th1amhz:  what are the Columbians doing?04:39
ograajmitch, me ?04:39
ajmitchogra: well, one of them is yours, at least :) edubuntu-user-management04:40
ograajmitch, there is only one spec i'm aware of, but that was postponed to edgy+1 ... the fat client support04:40
ajmitchright04:40
ograedubuntu-user-management was dropped long ago ... since its in fact your SoC ;)04:40
ajmitchheh04:40
ograso we didnt see the need to keep it as a distinct spec04:41
ajmitchI see it's just the graph being confusing then :)04:41
ajmitchah, obsolete04:41
ajmitchthat's good, I can go back to coding & leave you to discuss important stuff :)04:41
mhzth1a: the colombians guys are working on a kind of CanDo, a TimeTable interface for an algorythm, and an application to help students review previous studied content04:51
th1amhz: Ah.04:51
th1amhz:  Do you know what they're writing it in?  PHP?  Java?04:52
th1amhz:  Are these open source projects?04:53
mhzth1a: in Chile, a couple of friends are working on a Claroline based platform aimed to provide ... well claroline stuff :)  and also the information the Minestry of Education demands (so far schools are enouraged and kind of forced to provide all info via Books..by hand), like attendance reports, marks reports, behaviour reports, contents taught, etc.04:53
mhzth1a: php04:54
mhzth1a: afaik, should be GPLed04:54
mhzth1a: i can contact you with some of them (the people I know). One of them speaks english as well.04:54

mhzYagisan: shakira is the one, very intelligent...if she just coded python and loved moin....oh, and were interested in me, of course ...cool!04:57
jsgotangcoi dunno i saw a highlight of my nick and me loving moin lol04:58

LaserJockis the tool for that07:44
cbx33cool ok LaserJock 07:44
cbx33Guest477, no, I was in the wrong07:44
cbx33as valid as my information was07:44
cbx33it was _NOT_ the most helpful07:44
LaserJockwell, it works07:44
LaserJockbut it's a bit safer to use the GUI07:45
LaserJockfor just Multiverse because it's already in there07:45
LaserJockno worries about typos, etc.07:45
mhz_foodLaserJock: i am lost again... why can't we suggest to use command line?07:45
LaserJockbecause there is already a GUI tool for this that elimates some problems07:46
LaserJockit's not that you can't07:46
LaserJockit's just that there is a better tool, so why not use it07:46
cbx33heheh07:46
LaserJocknow, if you are stuck ssh'ing to all your boxes you edit sources.list07:47
mhz_foodLaserJock: oh, true. But many users (like me) have light hardware computers, so the more GUI apps we use, the slower our performance is07:47
LaserJocksure07:47
mhz_foodnow i get it07:47
LaserJockbut as a recommendation to somebody who says "How do I enable Multiverse?"07:47
mhz_foodLaserJock: +1 totally agreed07:47
LaserJock</doc team rant> ;-)07:48
Guest477cbx33 > i am becoming more and more farmilliar with editing files and will manually edit the souces.list if able, i want to make sure your error doesn't extend to the rpo addresses which u have provided me, are they accurate?07:48
LaserJockGuest477: first try this, go to System -> Administration -> Software Properties07:49
Guest477forgive my abruptness laserjock, but you are not helpful... please refrain07:50
Guest477:)07:50
LaserJockGuest477: I'm being helpful, please listen ;-)07:50
mhz_foodlol07:50
cbx33Guest477, I suggest you listen to LaserJock 07:51
cbx33he is a very good friend and extremely knowledgable, much more so than I07:51
Guest477cbx33 > my level of experience may exceed that of his advice07:51
LaserJockGuest477: we can show you both ways if you want, but you are better off starting with the way I showed you07:51
Guest477yuours is more on par with my ?'s07:51
Guest477i have started thank you laser07:51
LaserJockfor instance, cbx33's lines are localized so you might not get a fast connection07:52
Guest477i will pursue this of my own accord from here thanks07:52

LaserJockwell, for Guest477's information, probably https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu explains it better than me :-)08:15
mhz_foodyeah!08:19
=== mhz_food is now known as mhz
mhzLaserJock: in #moin, we have a bot that when you use wiki:UbuntuRepositories (for example), it imediately provides the full URL08:20
mhzwell, it works for one level pages (not subpages)08:20
LaserJockhmm08:21
LaserJockthat's pretty cool08:21
mhzindeed08:21
LaserJockthat's the only thing I'm not liking about the wiki move08:21
mhzyup08:22
LaserJockwe went from wiki.ubuntu.com to help.ubuntu.com/community08:22
LaserJockmore typing for me :(08:22
mhzbut maybe we could have a similar bot, that provides a couple of coincidences08:22
mhzand for everyone :D08:22
cbx33LaserJock, how did the doc team meeting go08:28
cbx33was the ESA goign to help.ubu brought up?08:28
LaserJockcbx33: ah yes, I did bring it up08:31
LaserJockmdke said that if Edubuntu wants a doc on help.ubuntu.com just send an email to the ubuntu-doc list08:31
LaserJockthe doc team will just check it over to make sure it meets the doc-team standards (stuff like good spelling and grammar, valid HTML probably) 08:32
LaserJockand it will be added08:32
