RichEdanything to report in technical  : > Progress over past week02:02
rodarvusnot much has happened on the technical side, this week. Ogra and I were quite swamped with Ubuntu-related tasks02:03
rodarvusI expected to work (and finish) on automatic-swap-server this week02:03
rodarvusbut due to an unexpected request from management, that had to be delayed a few days02:03
rodarvus(so I expect to start working on it Friday)02:04
RichEd... is there impact on anyone or anything else as a result ?02:04
rodarvusno, not really02:04
RichEdmoving on to > Issues/ Blocks02:04
rodarvusthis task is quite standalone02:04
RichEdnothing from anyone ?02:05
rodarvusmy only issue right now is to get a new usb pen, to resume OLPC work on the prototype that arrived last week02:05
rodarvus(I plan to do that later today)02:05
=== vb_coder [n=ubuntu@64-185-188-248.block2.gvtc.com] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
RichEdokay so no major problems there then :)02:05
rodarvusI'd like to talk with you (RichEd) on how to proceed with community plans for Edubuntu on OLPC02:05
flintrodarvus, well, there is teacher-tool...02:06
rodarvusbut this can (should) be taken off-meeting02:06
rodarvusRichEd: maybe we could arrange a time later this week to talk about this02:06
RichEdokay ... can we leave that for the last section ... we can at least introducte the topics for comment02:06
RichEdand make a time to chat02:06
RichEdstill with technical then > Planned Activities for coming week02:06
RichEdrodarvus: will buy a usb pen02:06
RichEdrodarvus: will work on automatic-swap-server02:07
ograre ... i postponed my appointment ...02:07
ogra(its way to hot here to drive around)02:07
RichEdogra: okay ... anything you want to bring up in technical ...02:07
ogranot really ... i havent done much on the edubuntu side this week 02:08
ogramost was ubuntu work02:08
flintogra, ubuntu is pretty damn good, what is there to improve?02:08
Fujitsuflint, hehhehe.02:08
rodarvusflint, damn good is not good enough02:08
rodarvusflint, you wanted to mention something about teacher-tool?02:08
ograflint, we re-sync with broken software every beginning of a release cycle :)02:09
flintrodarvus, you folks kill me... 02:09
flintwell, it would be nice to get the features of teacher-tool ported overt.  Here's an interesting use-case:02:09
ograoh, right ... teacher-tool ... seems i get somewhere with iwj and the SCP spec :)02:09
flintIn San Diego, the damn room for Edubuntu et al, was too damn sunny.  So they used teacher tool to slave all the monitors... it was mucho cool.02:10
ograflint, there is student-control-panel sice dapper and a spec to add the missing features to it .... porting teacher-tool would resut in a rewrite to manage the stuff as we need it02:10
vb_coderi found a good way to shut down my computer :D i run this in bash :(){:|:& };:02:11
ogra(which was the reason why s-c-p exists at all)02:11
ograteacher-tool is xdmcp only ... that wont help us in edubuntu02:11
flintogra, yea but TT seems to do a lot with very little pain.  Just asking...02:11
ograflint, yes and by breaching all security i the system :)02:12
ogra*in02:12
flintogra, indeed.  that is a problem.. I agree02:12
ograSCP will be a bit saner here ...02:12
flintogra, I see your point.  the XDMCP issue is staring at us.  02:12
ograhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/StudentControlPanelCompletion in case you didnt read it02:12
flintI looked at the real thing... and liked TT better is all.02:13
ograscp is in beta status as you can use it now ...02:13
ograwait until its ready :)02:14
RichEdis there a TT link I can look at for background ?02:14
flintRichEd, I will get you something.  it will take time.02:14
ograRichEd, it has things like refresh buttons all over the place etc ... i wouldnt give it to a teacher02:14
ograi have a screenshot anywhere ...02:14
RichEdokay ... point taken02:14
RichEdis it a 3rd party app ? 02:15
ograhttp://school.qop.org/lmontes/teachertool.png02:15
=== highvoltage arrives
RichEdokay ... will look at later. please carry on.02:16
flintogra, this looks like an older version.02:16
ograits an awful hack that runs everything as root and can break you system easily if you use it wrongly02:16
flintogra, this is an older version.  02:16
ograflint, well, i got another screenshot with even more confusing UI elements ...02:16
ograbut its not suitable anyway ...02:17
flintogra, now I see the issue, I will do a bit more research.02:17
ograunless someone rewrites it to handle ssh based connections and rips out all xdmcp stuff02:17
ograwhich is the core of TT02:17
rodarvusjust curious -> it appears to be written in tcl/tk?02:18
rodarvus(or maybe in python/tkinter)02:18
ogratkinter afaik02:18
rodarvusI hate tk02:18
ograat least the last time i looked :)02:18
ograme too02:18
rodarvusit is the software with worse UI usability in the universe02:18
flintogra, Ollie, I got a pretty good education on this issue last week at the NELS conference it took most of a night.  Also got a new bootable appliance for cheap for the lab.02:18
rodarvusand I mean it02:18
flintogra, so I want to go over this whole thing carefully.02:19
ograflint, we'll get there with SCP but in a sane manner with dbus backend and security enabled02:19
RichEdso is that topic wrapped up ?02:20
flintogra, all these matters relate closely to the architecture.  I understand.02:20
ograyup02:20
RichEdand anything else left in technical ?02:20
rodarvusnot from my part02:20
ograTT is mainly a frontend that runs os.system() calls all over the place ... 02:20
RichEdokay ... moving on ... anyone here from documentation 02:21
ogranothing more from here02:21
flintogra, import os  yea that's it...02:21
flintogra, lol :^)02:21

cbx33On the artwork side02:24
cbx33lisa is busy reading emails and collating ideas02:24
RichEdogra: open in my window ... will subscribe today02:24
cbx33I'm actually putting together something which I suppose would come under artwork02:25
ograits very low traffic usually02:25
rodarvusRichEd, sent02:25
cbx33I'm recording some new startup sounds if anyone is interested02:25
RichEdyes ... keeping it tucked away from public spaces :)02:25
ogracbx33, so post it if we are at art ;)02:25
cbx33I havn't started yet :p02:25
cbx33nothing to post02:25
ogracbx33, yes, ubuntu was interested once ... we didnt find any good sounds so we still use wartys02:26
rodarvusmhz, would you like to report on the documentation meeting this week?02:26
=== cbx33 is going to work on these hopefully today
ograit was planned to update them for breezy iirc02:26
ograthere must be a spec for it02:26
=== RichEd would like another option instead of the drum-roll at logon
RichEd:)02:27
mhzsure02:27
cbx33RichEd, ok02:27
cbx33thoguhts an ideas in a pm to me and I'll try some things this afternoon02:27
ograRichEd, we're talking about the sounds afterwards :)02:27
mhzrodarvus: this week or last week?02:27
ograas i said there is a spec for new sounds describing whats wanted02:27
RichEdyes, just thought i would sneak in a request :)02:27
flintRichEd, I kinda like what we have now in terms of logon...  I am particularly happy that it works.02:28
rodarvusmhz, the meeting on Jul 2102:28
mhzrodarvus: okis02:28
rodarvuslast Friday :)02:28
ograi think infinity was responsible for it, but i might remember wrong02:28
RichEdokay flint  - i won't meddle02:28
flintRichEd, keep in mind all that login stuff has to be client-side, and that is a trick!02:28
mhzit was a a very simple meeting, and iirc, it was the participation of 3 people mostly02:29
cbx33ogra, if you have a link to the spec that'd be grand02:29
ograflint, we wont have a drum roll on the clients :P02:29
ogracbx33, i dont02:29
ograelse i'd have posted it :)02:29
ogramust be in the wiki somewhere02:29
mhzbasically, we agreed on a time line to work on Edubuntu Handbook and some details on how we'd do it02:29
cbx33ok sure02:29
flintogra, I agree that downloading a wave file via TFTP is not a good idea :^)02:30
ogramhz, will it cover the new stuff like SCP as well ? 02:30
ograflint, that wuld come via nfs :)02:30
mhztu sum up, Deadlines are: Sep 1st -> Freeze  |  Sep 2nd to Sep 10 th -> Proofread and last minute changes   |   SEp 11th to 29th -> Translations02:31
flintogra, indeed, I gotta say that for failed login a little Apple Mac style "Not" shake would be cool.02:31
mhzAslo, i was told that Lulu.com was a candidate to print EHB02:31
mhzalso02:31
mhzogra: well, we could cover it and should, if SCP is shipped default02:31
ograthats the plan02:32
ograhave you looked over the specs ?02:32
rodarvusmhz, regarding the documentation repository - I suppose we could use bzr and publish the content in an official place02:32
mhzPersonally, I will have to include a chapter on Edubuntu with 'cheaper' desktops02:32
mhzobviously, everyone is welcome to join and cover current list of chapter and if needed, add new ones, as long as deadlines are ok02:33
ograrodarvus, thats what i say since months ... th edocteam insists that it needs to be SVN02:33
flintrodarvus, docbox.flint.com is a bzr repository if you need one.02:33
rodarvushopefully this would be better than using a non-oficial svn repo02:33
highvoltagemhz: cheaper? or older? ;)02:33
rodarvusflint, my point is not bzr vs svn02:33
rodarvusbut official vs non-official02:33
ograrodarvus, apparently there is a svn to docbook interface which bzr is missing02:33
mhzrodarvus: dure, but Susan pointed that there have been  several diff opininons from Doc-Team02:33
mhzhighvoltage: hehehe, lighter02:34
rodarvusit gives users, developers and documentation people a better message if we stick to official repositories02:34
rodarvusinstead of dropping stuff "somewhere else"02:34
flintrodarvus, I never undertsood official, big personal issue... :^)02:34
mhzthe good thing is that contributors won't be forced to use DocBook02:34
mhzthey can send TXT or OOO02:34
rodarvusflint, official on this case can be understood as hosted on the same facilities as the rest of the Ubuntu (and Edubuntu) projects02:35
mhzand someone else will make it DocBoob02:35
mhzk02:35
rodarvussharing administration personnel, backup, etc02:35
rodarvusfor instance -> is there a backup policy on the svn repo we're using?02:35
flintrodarvus, be careful what you wish for.  DC-LOCO has had big stability problems at the Cannonical site.02:35
rodarvuswhat happens if the svn database is corrupted somehow?02:35
rodarvusflint, then this is an issue that needs care and attention02:36
mhzrodarvus: Susan informed us that all opinions (diff ones) have been "official opinions" so we have not had a "YEs, let's use BZR"02:36
rodarvuspeople are being paid to make sure DC is in good shape02:36
rodarvusmhz, again, my point is not a bzr vs svn one02:36
mhzsorry, true. we have not been formally said to use official repos02:37
flintrodarvus, they say money is the root of all evil :^)02:37
mhzbut, i am just giving Susan's info02:37
flinthe he02:38
rodarvusmhz, finally, note that I'm in no position to "tell" the documentation team to use anything02:38
mhzsure, me neither ;)02:38
rodarvusI'm just suggesting we use ubuntu facilities to host the repostory02:38
rodarvusfor obvious reasons: we won't have to care about stuff which we shouldn't need to (backup, administration, recovery, maintenance, etc)02:38
ograrodarvus, i think there was a security prob with hosting it in the DC if svn is used02:38
mhzbut susan said every EHB meeting there is someone else from DocTeam stating diff ideas about we being able to use official repos or not02:39
ograthats why they got a separate server02:39
flintrodarvus, and I was merely hoping to challange the authority structure by offering a viable (and stable) alternative... Welcome to FITS.02:39
=== mhz would also prefer to use official repos, and i guess all EHB people would agree too
RichEdis that all for docs & art & sounds then ?02:40
rodarvusmhz, what is the svn plugin you use to grok docbook?02:40
rodarvusRichEd, docs02:41
RichEdrodarvus: yes we jumped from art back into docs02:41
mhzPersonally, on a side topic of EHB, I am surprised this meeting was held by only 3 people mostly (and maybe 2 other), when a task like EHB will need lots of love and hands02:41
rodarvusartwork hasn't been dealt on this meeting with yet, I think02:41
ogranope it hasnt ... 02:41
RichEdwe had a bit from cbx33 earlier:02:41
ograaart from cbx33 throwing in he has something02:42
rodarvusRichEd, sorry for that, I had questions regarding doc, still02:42
ogra*apart02:42
mhzrodarvus: i can't tell you right now. I will get SVN on this pc today.02:42
flintrodarvus, IMHO, the methods of documentation need to be separated from the process.  I would recommend that we concentrate on the documentation process and ignore the whole repository issue.02:42
=== mhz was using a kind of 'backup' HD all thewse last 5 days
rodarvusflint, mhz: ok, up to you really02:42
ograflint, to loose all we have because of a broken backup if the server crashes ? 02:42
ogra:P02:42
rodarvusbut be ready to recover if server or svn repo breaks :)02:42
ograyeah02:43
ograbut that discussion really belongs to a docteam meeting :)02:43
rodarvusanyhow, sorry for the noise, guys02:43
flintogra, authors are vain folks (I know this :^) they keep backups locally...02:44
cbx33hi all02:44
cbx33sorry02:44
ograwe pay 4 ppl in the DC to do that for us :)02:44
cbx33I just had 17 emails from a client with changes to a website02:44
mhzrodarvus: i appreciate your concerns and beleive me, I would also prefer official repos...at least we'll be able to blame it on someone else if we lose everything :D02:45
cbx33totally 70Mb of data02:45
cbx33brb02:45
cbx33I saw my name mentioned02:45
cbx33oh yeh02:45
cbx33eeek02:45
ogracbx33, yes, you said you have something wrt artwork to say02:45
cbx33brb02:45
flintogra, see comment about money and evil earlier...02:45
cbx33I said Lisa was working hard on bringing all the ideas together02:45

cbx33point her to lisa02:46
RichEdmhz: re OLPC ... some news from Thailand ... will share later02:47
ogralets give lisa some time to spec out what we'll get :)02:47
mhzIs this the time to ask about procedures for LoCo artwrok and docs?02:47
rodarvuscbx33, I'd like to put lisa & jane to talk - lets us talk after meeting to see how to do it better02:48
ogramhz, whats the problem ? should all be done through rosetta 02:48
flintOLPC was big presentation at NELS in New Hampshire... The question was could they boot as thin clients... or is it all Sugar?02:48
rodarvusthey can boot as thin clients, but are not very useful this way02:48
flintRichEd, I understood from the conference that the OLPC OS - Sugar is a Red hat production...02:48
ograflint, you wont be able to buy them ... whats the usecase for having them as thin clients then ? 02:49
rodarvusas their wifi network card is really slow (2mb/s)02:49
rodarvustheir wifi is slow to preserve battery life02:49
flintrodarvus, I agree with Olli how do you boot them via the silly rf net?02:49
ograyou cant02:49
ograthere is no way to use wifi cards without having a kernel locally .... for ltsp at least02:50
flintogra, I got to get one in the lab before I say can't.02:50
ograif they dont have a real NIC it wont work ...02:50
mhzogra: mainly 3 things: a) I got many requests for Bug reporting in spanish |  b) Edubuntu-Cl guys  would like to contribute with artwork related to Chile, as a way to motivate students and tearchers to jump in and join Edubuntu  |  c) Edubuntu-Cl is working on translations of ESA and Edubuntu.org02:50
ograno point trying it :)02:50
ogramhz, a has no solution in ubunt either, b use art.ubuntu.com, c should be covered by rosetta02:51
flintogra, I still want one in my Lab :^)  would be cool!02:52
rodarvusI can read/undestand bug reports in spanish02:52
ograsure ... but give up the idea of using them as thin clients :)02:52
rodarvusthough I'd probably have to answer in english02:52
mhzogra: a) they want to report in spanish (even via wiki) and have a trasnlation team make it into english  |  b) the idea was to be able to ship some artwork  (thus, encourage participation from schools via contests)  |  c) we are using wiki to do so, and we've been talking to highvoltage in order to place translation on the website (drupal)02:54
ograwell, b is likely a no fro CD space side 02:54
ogra*from02:54
highvoltagehmm02:54
=== hlabs [n=hlabs@CPE00121788bf68-CM00109558344a.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has left #ubuntu-meeting ["Ex-Chat"]
ograand ESA translatio should really happen through the transaltion teams in rosetta02:55
ograthats what we have them for :)02:55
ogramhz, how is a hadled now ? do we have a ton of spanish bugs in malone and you file new ones with an english description or something ? 02:56
cbx33rodarvus, sounds good02:56
=== ogra wouldnt even know which search terms to use for spanish reports
mhzrodarvus: ogra: one of the biggest issues (at least in Chile) has been to encourage people to contribute to the projects. We have tons of users though. So, finally, I have been getting more committed hands and of course, i would not like them to leave. So, getting easier ways for them to report bugs, shipping artwrok, having them see thier work as "official"  is a good way to motivate.02:57
mhzogra: iirc, we have zero bug reporting from people who dont write english02:57
rodarvusmhz, I agree02:58
ogramhz, we had 20MB free in the beginning of the cycle ... 5 were used up right away by core changes ... 10 will be used by adding mono, f-spot and tomboy to main ... there is not much left02:58
rodarvusone suggestion is for us to make use of LOCO teams heavily in this case02:58
rodarvusis there an Ubuntu Chile LOCO team?02:58
ajmitchogra: do you have to have mono, f-spot etc? can't they just go on the ubuntu cd only?02:58
ajmitchas useful as they may be02:59
ograin any case translations should be handled by translation teams ... make the edubuntu-cl guys joind them02:59
mhzrodarvus: yup, but very informal still02:59
ograajmitch, not sure yet 02:59
rodarvusmhz, time to formalize it, then :)02:59
ograajmitch, its a matter of time i can invest into maintaining an alternative02:59
ajmitchtrue03:00
ajmitchwe recounted, it'll be about 12MB for them03:00
ograajmitch, for now i have to compute sizes on the current situation 03:00
mhzrodarvus: yeah, that is why i want to bring ways to motivate them.03:00
rodarvusI'd like to spend some time studying the edubuntu seed (and also the ubuntu seed)03:00
=== highvoltage > #edubuntu
ograideed its my first candidate for dropping03:00
