[05:41] I don't know the exact details, I know that the language packs we do ship for the kde apps are bigger than the gnome ones === P3L|C4N0 [n=gcamposm@201.230.107.238] has joined #edubuntu [05:42] pygi: oh, sorry, I understand your question now, the anser is yes :) [05:42] it's because of KDE-edu [05:43] highvoltage: thank you :) [05:43] pygi: how is it going? [05:44] highvoltage: good and busy :) Preparing for moving :) [05:44] highvoltage: what about you? [05:45] going good. had a hectic week, was at an expo so didn't get to do much work [05:45] next week I'll be playing catchup again [05:45] nice :) [05:45] but things are getting more organised for me, so I'm glad [05:45] Let's see how I will go :) Dunno how long will I be without internet :P [05:45] there's less and less times where I have to get frustrated because of delays, etc [05:46] nice :) [05:46] pygi: well, I've been without internet at home for nearly a year now.

[06:10] it won't be hard [06:10] lucasvo: I wrote it already [06:11] just got it while I was typing [06:11] it's a compromise beetween what I really wanted to write [06:11] I cannot talk about some things :) [06:13] pygi: you mean some sort of: Get real and becoma a gnome user. KDE s**** that's why we made gallium? ;) [06:14] I don't quite understand, why is there so much hostility against the creation of gallium? [06:15] highvoltage: usually I am also against creating things twice. but in this case, I don't see a better solution [06:15] it's a huge amount of work being done twice. which could also be invested in other edu apps === lguerra [i=lguerra@200.21.93.195] has joined #edubuntu [06:16] it's not as much as creating it from scracth though, since gallium will use the data from kalzium, so it's a very small part of the work that's being duplicated [06:16] highvoltage: keeping bug free, creating packages, making publicity... [06:17] maintainaning the chemical data is not that big, since most of it is already well known and not in research anymore [06:19] gallium was metioned on planet by pygi === Laser_away is now known as LaserJock [06:20] i think publicity and creating packages are minor compared to the CD space problem [06:21] I think in the end it comes down to is priorities [06:21] unforunately you always have to make some sacrifice [06:21] hi LaserJock [06:21] highvoltage: I can understand the problem if you look at it as "Edubuntu ships KDEEdu, Edubuntu is also developing a GTK port of Kalzium" [06:22] but I don't feel like "Edubuntu" is developing Gallium [06:22] it's not speced [06:22] yep [06:22] LaserJock: you're developing it, right? [06:22] well, I started it [06:22] I haven't done any of the code yet [06:22] but I feel like I'm the guy in charge, I think ;-) [06:23] ok [06:24] I guess I'll send a reply [06:24] I kinda feel bad, because it's kinda like "Yeah, we want to drop KDE Edu [06:26] LaserJock: isn't that true? [06:26] yes, but that's not really nice to say to the KDEEdu founder [06:27] LaserJock: I haven't said we wanna drop KDE Edu [06:27] lucasvo: and no, ofcourse I dont think that everyone should become Gnome user [06:27] lucasvo: that kind of attitude sucks heavily dude [06:28] pygi: this is not my attitude however it's quite similar. [06:28] but being able to drop KDEEdu *is* a part of why gallium was started [06:28] so I want to be careful [06:28] LaserJock: ups, you are right, might be that she saw my blog post where I mentioned Gallium [06:28] LaserJock: ah [06:29] pygi: Too bad gnome and kde do the same stuff and don't collaborate. I think it should be possible to develop something that pleases both users. [06:29] pygi: so I think, one should merge them. [06:29] lucasvo: Free (libre) world is about a choice [06:29] pygi: yes. [06:29] we're don't want to become Windows!! [06:29] we* [06:29] pygi: how comes that still major distributions all look the same? [06:30] lucasvo: you don't how wrong you are [06:30] pygi: ? [06:30] pygi: I don't see much difference in fedora, suse and ubuntu [06:30] I do, a lot of difference [06:30] what? [06:30] why aren't you part of fedora or suse community then? [06:31] why have you choosen the Ubuntu/Edubuntu? [06:31] because it used apt [06:31] lucasvo: do you know how & why Gnome was created?! [06:31] no [06:31] Because KDE was built on top of then propietarity (not free) QT [06:31] It was started to offer the user a freedom! [06:32] lucasvo: FYI, fedora & suse can also use apt [06:32] apt-rpm [06:32] so actually there is no reason anymore not to merge [06:32] there are reasons! [06:33] pygi: that the community has different taste? [06:33] LaserJock: I think 'drop' is also a strong word [06:33] lucasvo: uh, you don't understand :-/ [06:33] 'not included by default' is probably more accurate [06:33] highvoltage: not rely on it [06:33] highvoltage: I believe if we had space on cd, we'd include anything we can :P [06:33] since it would still be just an apt-get install away [06:33] pygi: that's probably true [06:34] highvoltage: one partial solution probably might be separating lang packs just for apps we ship [06:34] if that is possible [06:34] pygi: what big difference is there (for the user, not the developer) between QT and GTK? [06:35] there was/is some speed differente, and the look is just different [06:35] lucasvo: but it's not about the toolkits [06:35] yes [06:36] pygi: starting by having one toolkit would make portability between gnome and kde much easier. === highvoltage catches up with e-mail nd has a better understanding of what this is about [06:37] highvoltage: KDE-Edu and edubuntu [06:37] LaserJock: if that is your reason she'll say: Why didn't you just enhance kalzium? [06:37] the mail subject :) [06:37] pygi: read it :) [06:37] which is true [06:37] highvoltage: yay :) [06:37] well, it's a great way to work with a good upstream project [06:37] lucasvo: uh, uh, you have some fundamental thinking errors [06:37] about F/OSS world [06:38] I wouldn't call it errors. [06:38] lucasvo: because I want a GTK port of Kalzium, not kalzium [06:39] lucasvo: there are many others that feel the same [06:39] pygi and lucasvo: let's keep it civil [06:39] LaserJock: yes, I'll stop :) [06:39] lucasvo: we've come under fire in tuxlabs a bit for running kalzium on Xfce in tuXlabs [06:39] highvoltage: I lost track, feel the same than what? [06:40] people tell us it's inefficient to run apps that require different frameworks, wasting memory and resources [06:40] yeah [06:40] lucasvo: people who want a GTK port of Kalzium [06:40] it's not *only* a disk space issue [06:40] lucasvo:don't get me wrong, I *love* the KDE-edu project, and I think we can support them whatever happens in the future [06:41] as highvoltage has said, running a KDE app in Gnome is slower and more memory intensive than running it in KDE [06:41] perhaps the Kubuntu team could even work on a edubuntu-kubuntu-desktop, that could include the kde-edu tools instead of edubnuntt(ehatever)-tools [06:41] kedubuntu? [06:41] perhaps [06:42] who kows? [06:42] perhaps we could even work on an edubuntu-add-on cd. I've been wanting to work on something like that for a while. [06:42] that sounds like a good idea [06:42] when I have my internet connection back next week, that would be possible again [06:43] highvoltage: however that "only" solves the space issue, not performance issue [06:43] that way you can make it easy for users to distribute kde-edu and it's libs, and even more additional tools that we'd like to see there. [06:43] btw, anyone contacted gperiodic and told them about gallium? [06:43] lucasvo: you're completely right, but it's at least a compromise and a temporary solution [06:43] highvoltage: of course it's not a bad idea. I'd like to have more edu software as well [06:44] mostly academic software, since edubuntu is not very useful for me anymore [06:45] lucasvo: is gperiodic developed anymore even? [06:45] pygi: don't think so [06:45] 1.3.3 Fri Jan 18 10:34:38 EST 2002 [06:45] last changelog entry [06:45] lucasvo: that's why I asked [06:46] pygi: but having the owner put a link onto the page that one should use gallium since it's more up to date would be nice [06:47] gperiodic is basically dead and I looked at the code [06:48] It's written in C and has a bad storage format for the data [07:00] umm [07:00] did somebody forward an email to ? [07:00] me [07:05] LaserJock: I don't know. we don't have access to your inbox :p [07:06] well, I just all of a sudden got an email about gallium [07:10] ah, from ogra? [07:10] no [07:10] apparently pygi started more then he intended [07:11] gallium is not a thread topic [07:11] as "hidden" port of Kalzium [07:11] http://cniehaus.livejournal.com/ [07:13] somebody offered me $25 for an Edubuntu CD today [07:13] http://cniehaus.livejournal.com/ [07:13] nixternal: wow! [07:13] I had told a couple of people about Ubuntu, and they were teachers, so I brought up Edubuntu, and I pulled a CD from my trusty bag, and I had them, hook-line-and-sinker [07:14] http://hardly.cubic.uni-koeln.de/pipermail/blue-obelisk/2006-September/000862.html [07:14] nixternal: our local lug had a stand at a big local show this week, and people had a tough time believeing that we didn't want to sell them stuff :) [07:14] The lady asked, how much do those go for, after I explained "Free"...so i did a salesman, "well...ummm.." [07:14] and she goes, I will give you $25 [07:14] I said, $25 is to low, way to low [07:14] but I will give you a few for free ;) [07:15] i either have a couple new possible clients, or dates [07:15] don't know yet [07:15] hmmm... so is blue obelisk essentially the same as gallium in concept? [07:15] highvoltage: that rocks right there...we did the same and got the same reaction...so we started selling the CDs for $1 each, and donated to a Children's fund [07:17] nixternal: we sold some ubuntu cd's that we made ourselves (shipit couldn't get it here in time) for R10 (about US$2) and we're going to make t-shirts for everyone that volunteered on the stand [07:17] ooh...you know what...that isn't that bad of an idea...i ahve the entire Ubuntu Chicago team hounding me for t-shirts === jbrefort [n=jean@lns-bzn-58-82-251-208-165.adsl.proxad.net] has joined #edubuntu [07:17] heh :) [07:18] i can get nice embroidered Ubuntu Chicago Polo shirts displaying all 4 logos for $18/ea [07:18] awesome work...this lady did the shirts for a company i used to own when we did a golf outing [07:18] sounds cool [07:18] I need about 50 ;( [07:18] thats a lot of CDs at $1 [07:18] arrrggg [07:19] our t-shirts are simple blue golf shirts with the CLUG logo on... I think I can find a pic somewere... [07:19] LaserJock: it is saturday, you better be with the wife, otherwise i think you will need to redecorate that dog-house [07:19] she's here and sick still :/ [07:19] you better tend to her then ;) [07:20] http://photos.jonathancarter.co.za/futurex2006/pict0196 <--- that's about the only one that I have [07:20] but this stupid gallium thing is going to give me a headache today :( [07:20] still have to upload the good photos I took :) [07:20] now that would actually work right there [07:20] LaserJock: in free software, whenever you're going to take on something worth while you're ultimately going to make some people angry [07:21] LaserJock: don't let some dumb comments get to you, gallium is a good idea [07:21] oh freaking heck [07:22] http://cniehaus.livejournal.com/27154.html#comments [07:22] ahhh, talking about the kde-edu comments i take it [07:22] no, I got an email, a few actually [07:22] a little "WTF are you doing?" [07:23] geez [07:23] all from one sentence on planet.ubuntu.com [07:23] ouch..i never seen that post right there [07:23] well, that's being uncollaborative, and not in line with any kind of good CoC [07:24] i can understand the frustration though, i mean we work hand in hand with debian, and most of the time with the WM's as well [07:24] well, they don't have any facts [07:24] they didn't ask me or any gallium dev [07:25] we are not writing it from scratch [07:25] geez, some people we really nasty [07:26] the anger that powers those blog comments aren't backed by facts either [07:26] well, there aren't any facts [07:26] they even call canonical evil. what's so evil about them? they're just another random company. [07:26] we haven't even published any code [07:26] all we have is an LP page [07:28] they seem to have gfound some code on cbx33's website [07:29] (gfound being a very strange typo in this case :) ) [07:29] argg [07:30] they went trolling around for stuff, they took a lot of effort [07:34] you know, that started off as a legit "grief" they had, over soemthing they really hadn't researched, which we know is stupid for one...and second, all it takes is for one idiot to start an anti-ubuntu/canonical flame war...jealous people are ignorant ;) [07:34] I don't even know where to begin [07:38] truthfully, i wouldn't respond to the blog [07:38] i would do it the professional way, as that blog is loaded with "nonsense" from people to scared to let the world know who they are [07:38] well, I just added myself to planet.u.c so maybe I could start a blog war ;-) [07:39] if you are going to complain about something. let us know who you are, so we can contact you and talk it over [07:39] hehe [07:39] nixternal: I'm not so worried about the blog as the 2 mailing lists it's on right now [07:39] thats the saem as someone who complains about the government, and then during elections, they don't vote [07:39] i seen it ont he dev list earlier [07:39] Anne-Marie did the decent thing, at least [07:39] I think it was big of here to send that message to edubuntu-devel [07:40] perhaps it's better to work with her as the leader instead, she can deal with all the kde-edut minions who are misbehaving. [07:40] watch that tone of voice towards KDE* [07:40] ;) [07:40] I meant it in the kindest possible way :) [07:40] im off the leash today [07:41] hehe [07:41] i do however have a new saying for gnome users and c++ [07:41] lol [07:42] well, the blog was from the Kalzium author [07:43] and there is a Blue Obelisk thread [07:43] where the emailed the author of another project called gallium [07:44] I've never heard of Blue Obelisk and they are mad at me for not joining their organization [07:44] LaserJock: I can't find that blog entry [07:44] LaserJock: do you have a link for me? [07:44] I can't find it on laserjock.us [07:44] what? [07:44] I haven't done anything on laserjock.us [07:44] I just woke up [07:44] to this [07:45] ah ok. where i the blog entry where you said something about galium? [07:45] I didn't [07:45] aah, I see [07:45] ok, I thought this was sparked by a blog entry of yours. [07:45] pygi had *1* sentence about it on planet.u.c [07:45] geez, then the kde-edu people are even more touchy than I though [07:45] *thought [07:46] "ravis, Pete, and some more people started their work on Gallium, replacement for Kalzium, and we can already see some usable results." [07:46] Just found it :) [07:47] i think he should perhaps have said 'developing a GTK front-end to kalzium', instead of using the word 'replacement' [07:47] yes [07:47] people get touchy when they hear that word :) [07:47] but that's all it took [07:47] hectic [07:47] the thing is, I think I'm the one in Edubuntu that likes KDE the most [07:48] I might be second or third [07:48] I like KDE a lot, but not to the degree that I'm on any level passionate enough to fight for it [07:49] I have no problem with it and I'm very impressed with Kalzium [07:49] everytime the kalzium issue comes up, people in edubuntu have acknowledged hoe great kde and kalzium is. [07:50] even ogra, who isn't a fan of KDE, acknowledged the achievements of Kalzium and talked about all the awards that it has won, etc. [07:50] I just wanted to have an app in Gnome to be maybe as good [08:04] oh man, I actuall read the blog comments [08:04] I totally just want to cry right now [08:04] bleh, now go ahead and attack me for mentioning gallium :) [08:06] LaserJock: what comments? /me doesn't see any comments [08:08] i will fight for KDE ;) [08:08] I say we have a GNOME vs. KDE Wrestlemania! [08:08] actually, that is a bad idea, i recently seen an image of the KDE hackers, and it was quite scary [08:09] pygi: I don't blame you. It was a pretty innocent comment. [08:09] pygi: http://cniehaus.livejournal.com/27154.html#comments [08:10] ya, pygi isn't to blame at all, they took everything out of context in the blog, and instead of contacting us, they decided to start a flame war..more than likely just a feeble attempt to get people to visit their blog [08:10] LaserJock: bleh, won't even read that. I hate that Gnome VS. KDE stuff [08:10] I develop for both platforms, so what, go ahead and kill me now :P [08:10] it seems that, that is the intention of many of these types of blog posts in the first place..if i can get you to visit my site and get upset about something with ubuntu, I have won, because you will keep checking back to see the comments [08:11] well, I wouldn't bother if it was just some guy [08:11] but that's *the* Kalzium developer [08:11] whatever, lemme comment [08:12] pygi: tbh, I'd rather you stay low, if you don't mind. It's not your project and you didn't do anything wrong [08:12] Edubuntu-folks prefere to rewrite Kalzium from scratch instead of packaging Kalzium. [08:13] so, this version of kalzium on my machine, how did it get there? if we didn't package it? [08:13] LaserJock: but this was my mess [08:14] alrighty all...i need to get a life and back away from the keyboard for a little while [08:14] i shall return later to devulge in my life as a Kubuntu & Edubuntu junky! [08:14] ttyl [08:16] LaserJock: so should probably be my responsability to clean it up [08:16] LaserJock: but ok, will stop [08:17] pygi: well, it's really my mess [08:17] you just helped ;-) [08:17] LaserJock: heh, thanks for comforting me [08:17] :P === highvoltage doesn't even think it's a mess [08:18] well [08:18] I guess so [08:18] I'm writing edubuntu-devel now [08:18] hopefully clarify that one [08:18] and then I'll email this Blue Obelisk group [08:19] and leave the blog alone, although it has a huge amount of misinformation [08:19] LaserJock: please cc me if possible [08:19] pygi: ok, I probably won't on edubuntu-devel since I assume you get it ;-) [08:20] LaserJock: right [08:23] this is particulary idiotic: [08:23] The guys who started that project seem to be religious butt heads that are living in their small narrow world (like the maintainer of Edubuntu whom I know personally). [08:23] I mean wth?! === highvoltage wonders who that is [08:26] ogra definately doesn't live in a narrow little world [08:26] neither does anyone else I can think of in Edubuntu [08:26] yeah, can you imagine seb128 adding KDE-Edu to Ubuntu? ;-) [08:27] :) [08:30] I seem to remember the whole point of gallium being getting rid of the massive i18n packages pulled in for a few small apps [08:31] *cough* [08:32] well, for me it was a little more lofty goal [08:32] lofty? [08:32] I find Gnome sorely lacking in educational apps === highvoltage never knew that Americans used that word [08:32] we can speak some decent English... if we want to [08:33] hehe :) [08:34] ok, edubuntu-devel email sent [08:34] on to Blue Obelisk [08:35] I feel bad because they sent those emails to the other gallium project [08:35] LaserJock: uhm, really? :-/ === pygi waits Laser's mail [08:36] yeah, I found out after I made the LP product that there is a gallium project for a Carbon emulator [08:36] which is soooo totally different then our project that I didn't think it'd be a big problem [08:36] o joy [08:36] but apparently they didn't read the project homepage before the blasted email to the poor guy === pygi should really stop blogging :P [08:37] no, dude, really [08:37] ah, well, two months without internet should settle everything :P [08:37] in a way it's good to have this now [08:37] rather then when we actually *had* a release :-) [08:38] The other gallium project is dead [08:38] starting in 01 and has no code available [08:39] Amaranth: some guy in comments is talking about some personal branch or whateva [08:39] http://www.progbox.co.uk/gallium/ [08:40] that's my code [08:40] back later === pygi smells a bad mail server since still no Laser's mail [08:44] will brb, soon hopefully [08:48] hmm [08:51] why isn't my email showing up :/ === cbx33 [n=pete@ubuntu/member/cbx33] has joined #edubuntu [08:55] heh [08:56] Hey Mr Late Night [08:56] LaserJock, I read carsten's blog and ca'nt understand why he is so agressive, he is much more kind usually [08:57] LaserJock, I'd like to have some discussion about Gallium with you, since the wiki page does not says a lot [08:58] oooh gallium talk [08:58] jbrefort: let's go to #gallium [08:58] ok [09:04] hey cbx33 === littlepaul [n=littlepa@ip207.45.1411B-CUD12K-02.ish.de] has joined #edubuntu [09:24] ping ogra :) === mdz [n=mdz@studiocity-motorola-bsr1-70-36-194-85.vnnyca.adelphia.net] has joined #edubuntu [09:27] hi mdz [09:31] Amaranth do you have a minut in #gallium? === pygi [n=mario@89-172-204-180.adsl.net.t-com.hr] has joined #edubuntu [09:55] hello from fresh beta installation :) [09:56] cool [09:58] LaserJock, care to point me again to that comment page? [09:58] do I have to? ;-) [09:58] I'm trying to stay calm ;-) [09:58] http://cniehaus.livejournal.com/27154.html#comments [09:58] not really, no :) [09:59] thanks === blue-frog [n=admin@d80-170-40-13.cust.tele2.fr] has joined #edubuntu [10:21] ok, well we sort of fixed that one === blue-frog [n=admin@d80-170-40-13.cust.tele2.fr] has joined #edubuntu === jinty [n=jinty@42.Red-83-49-48.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #edubuntu === HedgeMage [n=HedgeMag@ubuntu/member/hedgemage] has joined #edubuntu [10:46] HedgeMage :) [10:47] hi pygi [10:47] I thought you were moving? [10:53] HedgeMage, early Monday [10:54] ahh okay === cbx333 [n=prochat1@84-45-238-195.no-dns-yet.enta.net] has joined #edubuntu [10:56] hi all === cbx333 is now known as cbx33 [10:59] hey cbx33 [10:59] hey pygi [11:00] cbx33, auth yourself pls :P [11:00] heard about gallium [11:01] hi cbx33 [11:02] hi hedgemage [11:06] hi cbx33 [11:06] cbx33: do you know c++? [11:07] little [11:08] and only in windows environment [11:08] well, gallium is no more [11:08] we had a good talk [11:09] and the periodic table in gchemutils is more developed [11:09] ok, i'll delete my repo [11:09] and is pretty well established in the chemistry software world [11:09] I do think we should continue working on this idea though [11:10] why didn't we know about it? [11:10] well [11:10] I knew of gchemutils [11:10] but I didn't know they had a full periodic table [11:10] and they've had a hard time getting it in the repos [11:10] in what way continue [11:11] because of various deps, etc. [11:11] ahhhh [11:11] it's in now [11:11] but it was a bit of a process [11:11] cooool [11:11] so I didn't look into it much [11:11] ok [11:11] but it is a more complete chemistry package [11:11] which I think would be really good for Edubuntu [11:12] and apparently it is done by on that one dev [11:12] ok [11:12] http://gchemutils.nongnu.org/ is the homepage [11:12] i'm gonna remove my branch [11:12] so I'm going to learn some C++ [11:12] and try to help out [11:13] ok [11:13] LaserJock, gtkmm is used for GTK period table? [11:13] and hopefully Edgy+1 will have a cool chemistry suite [11:13] not sure === pygi would assume so since it's c++ [11:14] I'll bbiab === LaserJock is now known as Laser_away [11:14] got to run a couple errands === cbx333 [n=prochat1@84-45-238-195.no-dns-yet.enta.net] has joined #edubuntu [11:47] by any chance, is it possible, that edubuntu install didn't ask me which hostname I want to use?
