Burgworkogra: ping12:30
ograBurgwork, only two minutes ... i'm preparing for my flight ...12:31
cbx33hey peeps ... any one know why i just put a sound card into my edgy machine....and now the system is really really laggy, but with no visible processes running....IRQ conflict?12:31
Burgworkogra: no worries12:31
ogra(in 5h but i'm packing here)12:31
cbx33running a top shows nothing12:31
cbx33but the mouse and keyboard are really really laggy12:31
Burgworkogra: just wanted to talk about specs,12:31
ograBurgwork, edubuntu-directory-server ?12:32
Burgworkogra: funnily enough, yes12:32
ograwell, its about integrating AD into edubuntu ... whatever solution we'll have we'll have it deeply integrated in edubuntu and will have to have some installer tweaks ...12:33
ograsince i'm tired of being told that someone implements it i took a finished solution for the proposal, and invited upstream12:34
Burgworkah12:34
ograif you guys come up with something i can safely release with feisty, fine ... if not i'll go for smbldap, since thats the used solution in many/most edu distros atm12:35
Burgworkjust wondering about it, 'cause I had never heard of it12:35
ograand it seems to work well with generic admin tools12:35
ograi submitted a spec for edgy already, which mdz marked obsolete because network-authentication was there ...12:36
Burgworkthe other piece you might want to care about is lat, which might be accepted upstream in GNOME for their admin section12:36
ografor feisty AD integration in edubuntu is one of my declared goals, its achievable with an existing solution 12:36
ograoh, lat was the name ...12:36
ogradid you look at edsadmin ?12:37
Burgworkwell, I am not going to be at MTV, but I am certain ajmitch and wasabi will talk well12:37
Burgworktook a peek at the screenshots12:37
ograright, i saw that wasabi will come12:38
ograas well as moquist and dtrask (smbldap upstream)12:38
cbx33w00t for the AD integration12:38
Burgworkis smblap an entire ldap server12:38
Burgwork?12:38
cbx33been wanting that for ages12:38
cbx33please please please make it so we can map home dir's too12:38
ograits http://www.majen.net/smbldap/12:39
cbx33ogra you're good with hardware....does my problem sound familiar to you? - could the sound card be confilcting with the usb?12:39
Burgworkyes, but that page wasn't clear12:39
ograits only setting settings of samba, ldap, pam to act as NT4 AD server ...12:40
Burgworkah, ok12:40
Burgworkhave you seen easy-ldap-server?12:40
Burgworkour spec12:40
ograroughly ... i didnt have much time the last days ...12:41
Burgworkok, no worries12:41
ograi'll look over it if i put details into the e-d-s spec12:41
BurgworkI am certain it will all come clear with discussions at MTV12:41
ogra(its still empty if you noticed)12:41
Burgworkyes12:41
ograright12:41
Burgworkeasy-ldap-server is pretty light on stuff12:41
ograi just want to be sure to release a solution with feisty 12:42
Burgworkindeed12:42
ograi dont care which one as long as its feasable12:42
ograand smbldap simply is *t6he* solution in education atm ...12:42
ograso we'll see where we probably could merge efforts ...i'm sure dtrask and moqist are open for everything12:43
Burgworkthe -directory people aren't really concentrating on the server side this release12:44
Burgworkbecause we need a rock solid client-side solution first12:44
ograwell12:46
ograthats quitre trivial pam changes for a start 12:46
ogra*quite12:46
Burgworkajmitch knows the full details, along with wasabi12:46
ograright 12:46
Burgworkas there are two somewhat parallel things12:47
Burgworkubuntu <--> ubunt12:47
Burgworkand ubuntu <--> AD12:47
Burgworkogra: are you also aware of the work Novell is doing?12:50
ograyep ... but my time is up ...12:51
Burgworkno worries12:51
Burgworkgood flight12:51
BurgworkI might see you in MTV12:51
ograi really need to pack now eles i'll sleep to long :)12:51
=== ogra crosses fingers Burgwork can make it
ograbye all12:52
cbx33bye ogra12:57

Burgworkcbx33: new project?01:00
cbx33yeh01:00
cbx33just a little app01:00
cbx33hoping it'll make it into feisty01:00
Burgworkwhat does it do?01:01
cbx33oooh...I can't give all that away01:01
=== cbx33 wants a working prototype first
cbx33then I'll show it to you guys first I promise01:02

nixternal1 1/2 year laptop works though?  my 6yr< laptop doesn't again ;)02:41
Burgworkmy laptop is too large and I dislike the widescreen02:41
jsgotangconixternal: its pretty old now considering the shiny new core duos02:41
nixternali want a widescreen, but i don't have the widescreen money02:41
jsgotangcohehe02:41
jsgotangcoalthough i doubt there would be a laptop testing team part 202:42
nixternali can get a virgin mobile cell phone, about the closes i can get right now ;)02:42
Burgworkproblem is, my widescreen is only 800pix high02:42
Burgworkwhich makes it hard to see anything02:42
nixternallol, my laptop is that wide ;)02:42
LaserJockI was thinking of trying to get a 12 or 13 " for my next one (a long time from now)02:43
nixternali can't complain, my lappy has been cranking out Linux for more than 6 years, and i had the display replaced once, for one that stinks, and i just tried to mend a warped motherboard, and im thinking i may need to do some more mending to it02:43

RichEdmorning all07:11
Kamping_Kaisergday07:11
RichEdhi Kamping_Kaiser 07:12
LaserJockRichEd!07:13
Kamping_Kaiser:)07:14
LaserJockRichEd: finally got my email back07:16
LaserJockand read your menu email07:16
RichEdah ... does it make sense ?07:16
LaserJockyeah, you want to be able to determine what the menu looks like without having to actually go in there and write it down07:17
LaserJockI gotta take a quick shower and then we can discuss it ;-)07:17
RichEdthanks ... I am also going though the feature request from the email lists, for discussion at the meeting today07:18
=== RichEd [n=richard@dsl-241-87-17.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #edubuntu
Kamping_Kaiserwb07:23
RichEdping ?07:26
LaserJockRichEd: back07:28
LaserJockRichEd: basically, as you said, it's not straightforward07:28
LaserJockthe menu is created dynamically from .directory, .menu, and .desktop files07:29
=== RichEd is listening
LaserJockso there is no one file that give the menu layout07:29
RichEdCan I step back a second to clarify what I am trying to achieve ? It may shortcut the discussion.07:30
LaserJocksure07:31
RichEdI have heard comments often from people that: "when you install windows, all you get is an operating system, but when you install (add any linux brand name here) you get open office and a whole lot of applications" ... so ...07:32
RichEdIn order to get across what or how much more you get when you install Edubuntu ... ready to use off the CD ... it would be great if we could have a bullet list of applications.07:33
LaserJockyep that's what I did for the Edubuntu School Advocacy doc07:34
LaserJockI  just went down the menu07:34
LaserJocktedious07:34
RichEdSo from my "naieve outside standpoint" surely there is a list that was compiled (and maintained) by the "person" who selected the applications ?07:35
LaserJockheh07:36
LaserJockthe closest you will really get to a list of "stuff" is the seeds07:36
RichEdAnd a process for making changes to the list, that can trigger off a flag to update the promo bullet list ?07:36
Kamping_Kaiserif the menu is generated dynamically, cant it be 'recreated' for 'other use then showing'?07:37
Burgundaviaa list of apps is easy07:37
LaserJockKamping_Kaiser: not to my knowledge07:37
LaserJockBurgundavia: but a useful list of apps that is automatically maintained?07:38
Burgundaviasure07:38
RichEdAnd if there is currently not a process or list, would it make sense to create and maintain a list, with a process attached.07:38
Burgundavia/usr/share/applications/blah.desktop07:38
Burgundaviaparse anything that is in accessories, games, etc.07:38
Burgundaviadone07:38
LaserJockBurgundavia: sure, but that's assuming you have a default install07:38
Burgundaviaany package should instlal there07:39
Burgundaviaor ~/.local/applications/07:39
LaserJockright, but we are trying to maintain a list of apps installed by default07:39
Burgundaviato what end?07:40
LaserJockso you could do it in a chroot or you could go through the list of default packages and get it07:40
Burgundaviaright07:40
Burgundaviafor that you need something else entirely, assuming you are only talking ubuntu here07:40
RichEdTo let you know where I am coming from, for a home user of windows, looking for applications on the internet, deciding what looks good, working out what what is freeware, shareware (with time expiry), cripple demo ware, downloading, installing ... all of these are a major schlep factor.07:40
Burgundaviaright, are you trying to clone installs?07:40
BurgundaviaI am still lost07:40
RichEdIf we can say:07:41
LaserJockno, we are just trying to say, "Edubuntu comes installed with ..."07:41
RichEd[1]  you get this functionality ready to use off the CD07:41
Burgundaviaright07:41
Burgundaviathe seeds07:41
LaserJockright07:41
LaserJockI was going to suggest taking the seed and looking for .desktops07:41
RichEd[2]  you get this functionality off add/remove applications, with low level knowledge required to get up and running07:41
Burgundaviaif you want a list of what is installed right now, post install, the packages for a raw list and the .desktop files for an "end user list"07:41
RichEdthen to me this is a major plus factor07:42
BurgundaviaLaserJock: seeds are already commented07:42
Burgundaviaare we talking for marketing materials?07:42
RichEdyep ... web site, talks, presentations etc.07:42
LaserJockBurgundavia: but the seeds don't say which packages have .desktops07:42
Burgundaviaif they are enduser apps, they have .desktop files07:42
LaserJockright, that's what I said07:42
Burgundaviathe default loadout is pretty easy to get07:43
Burgundaviayou can also just eyeball a default install07:43
LaserJockyep07:43
LaserJockRichEd was just looking for something we could easily maintain07:43
Kamping_Kaiserhow does add/remove apps do its thing? 07:44
Burgundaviaour brains, those maintain well07:44
LaserJockwe *were* going to make a wiki page with that material07:44
BurgundaviaKamping_Kaiser: parses .desktop files07:44
Kamping_Kaiser'its thing' being say 'packages selected' and 'packages available'?07:44
Burgundaviathere is already one out there07:44
BurgundaviaEdubuntu does not ship with that many apps07:44
LaserJockmore then Ubuntu07:44
Burgundavianot that many07:44
LaserJockno07:44
BurgundaviaKDE-edu suite, gcompris07:44
Burgundaviawhat else?07:45
LaserJocktuxmath07:45
Burgundaviaright07:45
LaserJocktuxpaint07:45
LaserJockxaos07:45
Burgundaviainkscape? dia?07:45
LaserJockdenemo and kino I think07:45
BurgundaviaRichEd: I can probably list off the list of apps edubuntu and ubuntu ship just off the top of my head07:45
LaserJockwe did have blender I think at one point07:45
Burgundaviait is a fairly static list07:45
Kamping_KaiserBurgundavia, can you autolist intoa  wiki? ;)07:46
Burgundaviafor instance, 6.10 added f-spot and tomboy07:46
RichEdBurgundavia: ^^ Kamping_Kaiser 07:46
Burgundaviaupstream added baobob and invest applet07:46
RichEdSo Burgundavia does every upstream application make its way into our variant ?07:47
Burgundavialargely yes, but I don't think Edubuntu has mono yet07:48
=== Kamping_Kaiser mutters yay
LaserJockyou can get the differences by diffing the seeds07:48
Burgundavianow that they are maintained in bzr, it is trivially easy07:48
LaserJockyeah, I've done it a few times07:49
Burgundaviabut honestly, once we get a list once, it will take 5 minutes to prune/add it for each release07:49
RichEdBurgundavia: 100% ...07:49
RichEdtell you what ... I'll start a list on a wiki page, and then you can let me know what I've missed, and who is responsible for each addition/removal/update, and give suggestions on how we keep the list current07:50
Burgundaviasounds good07:50
RichEdI would love to have a bullet list of application and functionality:07:51
RichEd[1]   this you can do with just the CD07:51
Burgundaviayou are about to get it07:51
RichEd[2]  this you can do if you have an internet connection07:51
RichEdetc.07:51
LaserJock[2]  is tough07:51
Kamping_Kaiser2 if you have the cd, 3 if you have a net connection wouldnt it? or does hte live cd not support post-install instlaling?07:52
LaserJockbut I hope by the end of feisty we'll have a better list07:52
RichEdLaserJock: if it's tough for us, how tough is it for an end user ?07:52
BurgundaviaKamping_Kaiser: if you have the alternate cd, yes07:52
LaserJockRichEd: much more so07:52
Kamping_Kaiserbut not on the live? :|07:52
Burgundavialive is not packages07:52
LaserJockno, the live cd doesn't have an .debs07:52
Burgundavialive is data, unpacked .debs07:52
RichEdJust look at the amount of discussion this "seemingly simple request" has generated.07:53
=== Kamping_Kaiser dislikes live mroe and more :(
Burgundavia2 is more like CNR07:53
Burgundaviawe can, however, prune the lsit out07:53
Burgundaviarecommend apps in each category07:53
LaserJockmeta-packages (or takss) for each category07:54
LaserJock*tasks07:54
Burgundaviakind of overkill, for what is likely one package07:54
BurgundaviaI am thinking: Video Editing: Kino (installed)07:55
=== RichEd comments: If we had an infomercial for Edubuntu, and the person complining the advertisement said to us, what can we include in the "If you install Edubuntu now, not only do you get a great desktop ... but you also get ..." section, it seems we are currently unable to give a normal person an answer. Seems a pity to have great & useful functionality that we are unable to easily describe.
Burgundaviaonce we get them into Edubuntu, we have gnome-app-install07:55
BurgundaviaRichEd: have you played much with it?07:55
Kamping_Kaisereasy describing also helps when you want to contact people to ask what would help them ;)07:56
LaserJockBurgundavia: I was thinking more along the lines of edubuntu-science, edubuntu-math, etc.07:56
Burgundaviaright07:56
Burgundaviathat is slightly tangent to what we are talking about07:56
LaserJockI don't think it is necessarily07:56
RichEdBurgundavia: mostly productivity work ... not as a "what else can I do suite"07:56
BurgundaviaRichEd: sorry?07:57
RichEd<Burgundavia> RichEd: have you played much with it?07:57
Burgundaviaright07:57
RichEdOkay ... I'm going to slip out of the current discussion, and get the wiki page up. Then we can discuss in a sticky fashion.07:58
LaserJockI think if we had groupings of packages into meta packages then [2]  becomes much easier07:58
LaserJockthere is a very large amount of packages in Universe that people have acces to07:59
LaserJockletting people know that is important, IMO07:59
Burgundaviahelp.u.c down for anybody else?08:00
LaserJocknope08:01
Kamping_Kaiserdns works -> help.ubuntu.com has address 82.211.81.23408:02
RichEdLaserJock: also, I think we should have in the list / matrix:08:08
RichEdAvailable in [Dapper-LTS]  [Edgy]  [Feisty] 08:08
RichEdMaybe even:08:08
BurgundaviaRichEd: 6.06, 6.1008:08
RichEdAvailable in [Ubuntu]  [Edubuntu]  [Kubuntu] 08:08
Burgundaviathe code names are not used08:08
RichEdso noted08:08
Burgundaviaanythin in Ubuntu is also in everything else and vice versa08:09
Burgundaviathey share the same repos08:09
RichEdBurgundavia: you commented above "I don't think edubuntu has mon yet"08:09
RichEdmono08:09
Kamping_Kaiserimo if you care about gtk/qt/gnome/kde dependancies, you know enough to look it up.08:09
Burgundaviaah, by default08:09
Burgundaviaubuntu installs mono by default08:10
BurgundaviaKamping_Kaiser: the end user shouldn't care and that is what we have repos for08:10
Burgundaviawe are recommending best of breed apps08:10
RichEdIt may be a bit of work to set it up now (which I am prepared to do) but my thinking is "the list can only change if some human being makes a decision" and so if we have a full list, and an update trigger for when that human makes a decision, we can keep it up to date as a matter of process.08:11
Burgundaviahow big do you imagine this list to be?08:11
Kamping_KaiserBurgundavia, *most* end users dont.08:11
BurgundaviaKamping_Kaiser: we can say "you may also try"08:12
Burgundaviaif they know what gtk and qt are, they can figure it out08:12
Kamping_Kaiserpretty much.08:12
RichEdend users don't figure stuff out ... either it hits them across the head in big marketing bite size chunks, or they take the eaist path, which is ignorance, or a route away08:14
RichEdeasiest08:14
RichEdNow although I am not encouraging that sort of consumer behavior, if we want to target the mass audience, we need to cater for them ... which I am prepared to do, alongside the excellent dev work that the tech heads are already providing.08:15
Burgundaviathe biggest thing we can do is the following: promote the crap out of gnome-app-install08:17
Burgundaviatalk it up all the time08:17
Burgundaviaeverything is moving deck chairs on the ship08:18
RichEdLast comment on this angle, is that the end user has no clue what gnome is, never mind what gnome-app-install is ... but if he sees "hey it comes with a free CAD package I can use to plan the extra room my wife and I want to build for the new kid on the way" then he sees a real world benefit to him.08:19
Burgundaviathat is why gnome-app-isntall is cunningly diguised as "Add/Remove Applications" on the applications menu08:20

Burgundaviahey willvdl08:22
willvdlBurgundavia, hey08:22
RichEdagreed ... but add/remove applications is only visible once the guy has installed, which brings me back in a full circle to the start if this thread, where can I list what is available !08:23
Kamping_Kaiserlol08:23
RichEdhi willvdl 08:23
willvdlhi there08:23
Burgundaviayes08:23
willvdlRichEd, missed the thread but are you referring to a list of (grouped) apps during the install?08:24

kwakive been having problem with fedora.10:56
Kamping_Kaiserdont know. i dont use rpm distros10:57
kwaki think because of my broadcom Gb NICs. 10:57
kwakanybody knows if there's a problem with broadcom NICs in edubuntu?10:57
kwakwhere's teh download page for edubuntu. i went to /download. nothing's there11:04

kwakyes.11:05
kwaknone11:05
RichEdkwak: let me check for you11:05
kwakhi RichEd.11:06
kwaki waited for this version (6.10). 11:06
kwakhope this will work fine for me now.11:07
RichEdkwak: have you tried this http://www.edubuntu.org/Download11:07
kwakyes11:07
RichEdand what goes wrong or is the problem  ?11:07
kwakno link for download11:08
RichEd?? there is a list of country mirrors ??11:08
kwaki only see three hyperlinks. 1 release announcement, 2, instructions on how to burn the CD, 3, Edubuntu 6.10: the newest Edubuntu release.11:09
kwakthe latter is not responding to my click11:09
kwakthat's weight, i don't have that list11:09
RichEd[Edubuntu 6.10, the Newest Edubuntu Release]  that is a heading ... you should also have a list underneath that like this:11:10
kwakyeah, i see that, nothing underneath that.11:10
RichEdrefresh your page please and let me know ... I'll also /msg you the links11:11
kwaki did a refresh. still the same11:11
kwakhope its not blocked by the government here. 11:12
Kamping_Kaiserhttp://edubuntu.org/Download#edgy has the country list - whats wrong with using one of them?11:12
kwaki don't see any reason.11:12
RichEdwhat is the last line you see on your screen  ??11:12
kwakEdubuntu 6.10: the newest Edubuntu release If you would like to benefit from the latest Edubu11:12
RichEdKamping_Kaiser: his page is busted11:13
Kamping_Kaiseraaah ok. how bizare11:13
RichEdkwak ... the page you are seeing is about 20% of the full page ... something is wrong with your connection or proxy I think11:13
kwakyeah. i think filtering from the ISP.11:14
RichEdI see that you have seen my msg window links ... try those and let me know if you have any problem11:14
kwaki tried the torrent file.11:15
kwakbtw, how's the performance of edubunt 6.10 compare to k12ltsp (fedora 5)11:15
RichEdKamping_Kaiser: re our application conversation earlier, I have found some pages on the wiki, but they are (1) old (2) duplicate and (3) a bit long and confusing ... so it has been attemepted before ...11:15
RichEdkwak: 6.10 uses LTSP 5 pre-release ... which has significant benefits in MTSP mode11:16
RichEdlet me get the release announcement link for you11:16
Kamping_Kaiseri find such lists quite hard to make+maintain - i have tried before (not for ubuntu)11:16
Kamping_Kaiserwhich is why i would rather a technical solution11:16
RichEdkwak see: http://www.edubuntu.org/news/8 [ Features of the integration work for LTSP-5 in Edubuntu include ] 11:17
kwakthanks11:18
kwaki read that11:18
kwakdoes edubuntu have issues with broadcom NICs11:19
RichEdKamping_Kaiser: My approach is to cobble together by hand, then improve. I find a reality easier to get going forwards than an theoretical that gets bogged down in debate. No comment on you :) just that when people see a "imperfect solution" they usually are quick to help improve it ... which gets a result, with improvements.11:20
RichEdSo you can think of the auto-update while I build the first step :)11:20
Kamping_Kaiserbut i feel in this case your finding several not-there-yets displays the flaw in the method :O, unless your the one coming and improving of course :)11:21
RichEdkwak: not sure ... the best people to ask are all on their way to a LTSP conference11:21
kwakoic.11:21
kwakwell, i will just try it. always having the same problem with K12ltsp11:21

=== Kamping_Kaiser hasnt kept in touch with uds
Kamping_Kaiserdoes 'offline' mean 'incidental'?11:25

juliuxnothing08:14
juliuxi hear no sound;)08:14
sbalneavDo you know sound works at all on that terminal?  I.e. does Linux detect sound on it using the ubuntu live disk?08:15
juliuxit is a thinclient so i cant test it with a live disk;)08:16
sbalneavSo, perhaps sound might just not work on that box?08:16
juliuxorga has the some thinclient and i remeber that he said that sound works08:16

LaserJockwhat's up?09:56
sorush20well I just would like to compile it and use it .. but we have to buy the .deb for some reason.. 09:57
sorush20don't know if that is allowed.. 09:57
LaserJockwhat do you mean by "allowed"09:58
LaserJockhmm, that is interesting09:59
LaserJocksorush20: well, you can download the source and compile10:01

sorush20the dependency is missing and I'm trying to download and install it.. 10:01
LaserJockhmm, it is kinda messy looking10:03
sorush20I don't know what do here. the installation section is not really that helpful10:03

ograright11:10
ograi'll see that i get my specs fleshed out the next days and get all the third arty ltsp code merged 11:10
LaserJockyeah, I saw there was a whole lot of material from the meeting this morning11:11
ograwhich meeting ?11:12
ograedubuntu ?11:12
LaserJockyeah11:12
ograah11:12
LaserJockhttps://wiki.edubuntu.org/UdsMtvEdubuntu11:12
ograi'm just starting to catch up on mails11:12
ograergh11:13
ograwhy is *all* ubuntu network auth stuff in that list ??11:13
Kamping_Kaiserogra, RichEd asked me to put together a list of stuff that looked relevent to edubuntu - i added the 5 ubuntu dir. services items because i saw them meantioned in various edubuntu specs11:14
ograi did create the edubuntu-network-auth-{client,server} specs on purpose to avoid that 11:14
Kamping_Kaiserjust before the meeting11:15
=== Kamping_Kaiser heads out. gotta run.
Burgworkogra: did you create those specs before the -directory team existed>11:16
ograBurgwork, i think so, yes11:18
ogradoes that matter11:18
Burgworknot really11:18
ograthey are totally different ... the edubuntu specs are specific to a setup while the ubuntu specs will cover only functionallity11:19
Burgworkconfused. I dont understand what you mean11:19
ograBurgwork, the edubuntu specs are all about reconfigured services11:20
ograwhile the ubuntu specs are abut having the services integrated at all11:20
ogra*preconfigured11:20
Burgworkah, right11:21
BurgworkI think there is a place for a common spec, however11:22
ograwe will only take existing packges and make override configs or something in /etc/edubuntu-directory-server if the server side in ubuntu isnt done in feisty 11:22
ogralike we do with ltsp for the dhcd or syslog configs ...11:23
ogra*dhcpd11:23
ograso we wont tweak the packages but allow overriding their configs if e-d-s is installed ...11:23
ograand i was planning to look inot the smbldap configs 11:24
ograif ubuntu doesnt attack the server side yet11:24
ograyou will be able to get a huge amount of feedback from the edubuntu users 11:24
Burgworkyep11:25
Burgworkjust want to make certain this is not "right hand, meet left hand" :)11:25
ogranah, we'll meet anyway11:26
ograand i'll try to attend as much of the network auth specs as i can beside the ltsp work11:26
ogranetwork auth is needed by *many* of the new ltsp features 11:27
ograi cant implement them without soemthing in place11:27
Burgworkindeed11:27
BurgworkI am about to try and get Userful to support LTSP alongside our other stuff11:27
ograi.e. ful diskless workstations (fat clients) 11:27
ograand local apps11:28
ograthe latter is the only way to handle multimedia correctly ...11:28
=== pips1 listens in to the interesting conversation
pips1:)11:42
pips1ogra: RichEd said he will work on refining that wiki page.. at the moment, it is just a rough cut-and-paste job from user requests that came in through mailing list...11:44
=== ogra has a hard time to keep his eyes open :)
ograyep i see that11:44
ograwe cant do anything about stuff thats not specced 11:45
pips1I can imagine, I need to get some sleep now myself.. I'm looking forward to see you in MTV soon11:45
ograas i say sinc weeks :) we need at least the specs registered in LP11:45
pips1hmm. I have been thinking about spec that are still missing... 11:46
ograthere are many things on that wikipage that are intresting, but nobody ever wrote a spec for them11:46
ograi have only doen the obvious ones that i know of ... 11:46
pips1there are some specs that edubuntu community members (laserjock, highvoltage, ...) wrote, but they haven't appeared on the MTV spec listing yet..11:47
ograall the answers on RichEd's ML call would have needed speccing ... bu i told you guys that things without spec will drop on the floor 11:47
=== P3L|C4N0 [n=gcamposm@201.230.1.245] has joined #edubuntu
pips1:-/11:47
ograhttps://features.launchpad.net/sprints/uds-mtv/+specs has many of them 11:48
pips1maybe we can create some rough specs that will cater for the remaining stuff...11:48
ograltsp-fat-clients, edubuntu-menus-completion etc11:48
ograi'm not sure thats possible this late ... but we'll see having at least a non fleshed out version in LP for each of them would be a start11:49
pips1well, all the specs under point (1) on RichEd's wiki page are specs that appear on the MTV spec listing... but there are some more specs done, that don't even appear yet on the MTV listing... who determines what get's onto the MTV listing?11:50
ograall the answers to his ML call arent specced11:50
pips1afaik, RichEd will work on that tomorrow11:51
ograthe ones that are in yet are either old ones, or ones that i created without any content yet or they are successive specs fro something we started in edgy i.e. LaserJocks menu stuff11:51
ogradont forget we'll only have five days11:52
pips1I have come up with some vague "catch-all" spec titles, e.g. 11:52
pips1#11:52
pips1Edubuntu-Desktop-Applications11:52
pips1#11:52
pips1Edubuntu-Web-Applications11:52
pips1#11:52
ograeach spec will have at least three BOF sessions11:52
pips1Ubuntu-Education-Content11:52
ograof 1h each11:52
pips1wow11:52
ograafter that the drafting and reviewing must be done as well11:53
pips1I didn't know there were three sessions per spec11:53
ograso more than 10 specs isnt realistic for us (edubuntu) ...11:53
pips1what is the current count?11:53
ograwell, there arent strictly three sessions per spec11:53
ograbut thast a comon number guessed from experience from the last conferences11:54
ogra*common11:54
pips1ogra: how many spec have already been submitted in LP for Edubuntu?11:54
pips1*specs11:54
ograall you see on the link i gave above11:54
ograi should be subscribed to all of them https://launchpad.net/people/ogra/+specs11:55
pips1you are talking about the (uds-mtv/+specs page11:55
pips1right11:55
ograyeah11:55
ografor me there are two *majorly important*  things we'll need in feisty ... one is network auth (server *and* client side) and the other is the ltsp gui tool (even mdz will disagree here and mark it a low prio again) since thats an upstream requirement we defined at the ltsp hackfest11:57
pips1well, I had a look at the "personal spec listings", by some of our "usual suspects" (you, rodarvus, sbalneav, highvoltage, laserjock, cbx33), but I'm confused about how relevant those are...11:57
ograrelevance is only provided by the uds-mtv page11:58
=== Fujitsu [n=Fujitsu@ubuntu/member/fujitsu] has joined #edubuntu

pips1ic11:59
ograthats how it was before ... dunno if they will follow that practice this time11:59
pips1during our meeting, RichEd went through all the user submitted requirements and asked the meeting participants for input.. I'm sure he will compile a list of spec to fill gaps.12:01
pips1... we will see how it goes.12:02
LaserJockwe have way to many specs for one UDS12:04
pips1heh12:04
ograLaserJock, totally12:07
pips1I see the following topics that would benefit from discussion:12:07
pips1* Bundling-Edubuntu12:07

pips1* Ubuntu-Education-Network-Integration12:07
pips1* Edubuntu-Desktop-Applications12:07
pips1* Edubuntu-Web-Applications12:07
pips1* Ubuntu-Education-Content12:07
ograthat can bite us very bad .... we'll need proper priorization12:07
LaserJockogra: it might be nice to have our own set of specs12:08
ogradont we have that ?12:08
ograwe did in edgy ...12:08
pips1nope, not in launchpad12:08
pips1afaik12:08
LaserJockwell, I was thinking a wiki page12:08
LaserJockI mean, we need to have a list of ideas12:09
pips1LaserJock: the wiki page that was discussed today will be reduced again to a concise list12:09
LaserJockyeah12:09
LaserJockI guess that's what I'm thinking of12:09
ograpips1, my personal subscription list had *all* edubuntu specs 12:09
pips1RichEd said he will do it...12:10
ograthats how i handled it in breezy, dapper and edgy 12:10
pips1ogra: ic12:10
ograif you dont thing that suffices, set up something else12:10
ograwe had a wikipage like the ne you guys made for edgy as well ... 12:10
ograso thats the right wasy12:10
ogra*way12:10
LaserJockogra: that's great for official specs and UDS12:11
pips1but now there are more developers... I'm thinking rodarvus, sbalneav, laser, cbx33..12:11
ograbut we need to thin out the list12:11
ograits way to much12:11
ograpips1, rodarvus is 100% busy with his other stuff12:11
LaserJockwe need UDS specs and we need just general specs12:11
ogracbx33 starts new projects over and over atm 12:12
pips1heh12:12
LaserJock:-)12:12
ograi dotn see him finishing the SCP spec12:12
LaserJockwell, that's the thing12:12
ogralaser will only have limited time i guess ... and sbalneav must care for ltsp upstream 12:12
ograso there is not really *much more* yet12:13
pips1right..12:13
LaserJockit's one thing for somebody to write a spec, it's entirely different to get somebody to implement it12:13
pips1yeah12:13
ograi'm hpoing to get dtrask, eharrison and moquist abouard during the conf ...12:13
ograexactly12:13
ograbut you need people familiar with the topic to discuss them12:13
pips1^^ ^ ltsp devs?12:13
ograsmbldap upstream and k12 devs12:14
