highvoltagehi09:06
highvoltageI can't give any update from my side since I've been pretty much solidly away for the last two weeks, mostly been out of town working on some of our projects.09:08
highvoltagewho else is here for Edubuntu meeting? pygi, sbalneav, LaserJock, rodarvus?09:08
stgraberme09:08
highvoltagestgraber: great!09:08
LaserJockI'm here09:09
=== pygi doubtfully raises hand
highvoltagethe big stars of the show can't be here, as sbalneav pointed out in #edubuntu. ogra and RichEd are traveling.09:09
LaserJockwho's running the show?09:10
highvoltagenot sure, I'm trying to get someone to jump up and direct :)09:10
=== highvoltage opens the agenda
rodarvushighvoltage, I'm not available (or barely, actually)09:10
LaserJockok, lets start out with tech update then?09:10
=== Burgwork is sort of him
highvoltageok, there's no additional topics, and no member candidates.09:11
highvoltageLaserJock: ok09:11
=== willvdl [n=Will@vc-196-207-32-253.3g.vodacom.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
highvoltageLaserJock: do you have updates for us?09:11
highvoltageah, another one. yay!09:11
willvdlhi all, sorry I'm late09:11
sbalneavI have a couple, when it's my turn.09:11
LaserJockwell, my spec for edubuntu menus is sitting in "Review"09:11
highvoltageLaserJock: shoot09:11
LaserJockbut it looks like it should go pretty well09:11
LaserJockI'm able to get alacarte to play with my menus :-)09:12
LaserJockI just want to encourage everybody to look over the Feisty specs09:13
highvoltagekewl :)09:13
highvoltageLaserJock: link?09:13
LaserJockhttps://launchpad.net/people/ogra/+specs generally09:13
LaserJockbut he needs to add some09:13
highvoltageok09:13
LaserJocksbalneav will no doubt talk about some of the coolest ones09:14
sbalneavphht09:14
LaserJockbut of particular interest to me is Edubuntu on 2 CDs09:14
highvoltageheh09:14
highvoltageoh yes, that is quite interesting.09:14
willvdlcan someone remind me what Pending Approval refers to?09:14
sbalneavMeans it isn't an approved spec yet09:15
LaserJockthat means it's ready for final approval by the tech board I beleve09:15
highvoltagewillvdl: TB needs to give the final OK09:15
willvdlOK, I thought scp was approved09:15
LaserJockwe have a "lets make SCP rock" spec09:16
highvoltagewillvdl: sometimes something is approved, and then a problem comes up, and it's defered and it has to go through part of the process again09:16
willvdlok, got it09:16
LaserJockthe 2 CDs spec is https://blueprints.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/edubuntu-on-two-cds09:16
LaserJockbasically we are going to get a 2nd CD that will hold most of the educational stuff09:17
LaserJockand the 1st CD will have the base services stuff like LTSP, ldap, etc.09:17
LaserJockwe'll need quite a bit of educational community help for that one09:18
highvoltagenoted09:18
LaserJockso lots of goodies09:19
LaserJockI'll hand the mic over to sbalneav for ltsp, et. al09:19
willvdlcool09:19
sbalneavkthxomglolbbq09:19
sbalneavOK09:19
nixternalhello!09:19
sbalneavhey nixternal09:19
highvoltagehi nixternal 09:20
nixternalmy sister came over to use my washer and dryer and brought my neice and nephew, aka the terroistas09:20
=== nixternal catches up
sbalneavSo, good progress on ltsp-persistent-home, which oddly enough, merged into a temporary home spec, so go figure.09:20
LaserJockhah09:20
sbalneavDid more testing on the pam module, seems to work.09:20
highvoltagesbalneav: BBQ?09:20
sbalneavSound: ogra packaged up pulse, I'm in the process of setting up a feisty box, so should have more to report on that next week.  Things look promising09:21
highvoltagesbalneav: do you know if we make any use of that script that was posted to the list?09:21
highvoltagewhat is pulse?09:22
Burgworksbalneav: by temporary home, we are talking guest accounts?09:22
sbalneavRefresh my memory?  Which script?09:22
Burgworkhighvoltage: sound server09:22
sbalneavPulse audio, the new name for polypaudio09:22
highvoltageaaah, ok. I still know it by polyaudio.09:23
sbalneavBurgwork: yeah.  the pam_mkhomedir modules been hacked up to actually remove the home dir as well on logout, if configured accordingly09:23
Burgworksbalneav: you rock09:23
highvoltageBurgwork: I would've said that to him, but I think he gets tired of hearing it all the time09:24
sbalneavfat-clients: we should be in a position to test that one next week.09:24
sbalneavMight be completed REAL soon :)09:24
highvoltagegreat.09:24
willvdlwoot09:24
highvoltagesbalneav: sorry, fat clients with the ldap auth, or diskless fat clients?09:25
sbalneavAnd, as well, integration of ssh and xdmcp localdevice methods moves on apace.  inotify + xatoms = win.09:25
sbalneavhighvoltage: for now, just the diskless fat client.  We'll add ldap auth once moquist gets a little farther along with his stuff.09:25
highvoltagesbalneav: ok, that's great, that's the most important part for me09:26
Burgworkhttp://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Desktop/FastUserSwitching <-- this is also something interesting09:26
highvoltagesbalneav: I've had real headaches last week trying to enable local disk access with xdmcp09:26
Burgworkwe should probably look at the for the scp stuff09:26
sbalneavSo, that was my activity this week.09:26
highvoltagesbalneav: ended up using ltsp 4.2 in the end :/09:26
sbalneavhighvoltage: it's impossible at the moment.  But I'll be fixing that shortly :)09:26
highvoltageanything else for technical?09:26
highvoltagesbalneav: I bow to your coolness09:27
sbalneav:)09:27
LaserJockwell, I might bring up one technical/community thing09:27
LaserJockwas kinda hoping ogra and RichEd were here09:27
highvoltageLaserJock: I gathered as much :/09:28
LaserJockbut I was thinking about our development community09:28
willvdlshoot09:28
highvoltagecbx33 isn't here, I don't suppose there's any artwork issues/updates?09:28
LaserJockwe've always had ogra as the super uber edu developer09:28
LaserJockbut with so many specs and cool things we can see on the horizon with Edubuntu09:29
willvdland hopefully will have more09:29
nixternalspeaking of artwork, is there an artwork team for edubuntu as well?09:29
LaserJockI think it's important that we grow our development community09:29
LaserJocknixternal: yep09:29
LaserJockkinda09:29
nixternalok, i figured the kinda part09:29
=== ajmitch is vaguely on the edge of the development community, with stuff at UDS :)
willvdlLaserJock, Jono Bacon at Canonical is working on a nice plan for revitalising LoCo09:30
nixternalif there are some packaging things to do for edubuntu, let me know, i am willing to help out there09:30
sbalneavWell, we've attracted Matt Oquist, and David Trask is coming on board, so that's going to help.09:30
LaserJockyes09:30
nixternalthe handbook, is there still a management team for that?  i haven't heard anything status wise from it, and I have been messing around more with the layout and xslt stuff09:30
LaserJockso I see we have some people around09:30
LaserJocknixternal: maybe wait until the doc section of the meeting :-)09:31
willvdlnixternal, coming up09:31
highvoltageLaserJock: do you have suggestions? perhaps it should be an active targeted drive. ie, needs be identified, and then we lure in people who could meet those needs09:31
nixternalroger dodger09:31
LaserJockwhat I think maybe we need is some Roadmap or organization09:31
LaserJockso that people can start working on things09:31
sbalneavI have to pop out for 10 minutes or so... jammed printer here at work.  Save the handbook till when I get back.09:31
willvdlhighvoltage, jono has an idea behind breaking down tasks into big one and bite size tasks09:31
LaserJockwillvdl: exactly09:32
willvdlthat way it more attractive for new members to slowly get involved09:32
LaserJockso while the guys at UDS come up with some really awesome specs09:32
highvoltagewillvdl: that will be handy09:32
willvdl... get motivated, learn the processes09:32
willvdland build karma09:32
highvoltagesorry, under what topic are we now? community?09:32
LaserJockit can be difficult for people who didn't attend to get involved09:32
willvdlwe spoke about it at AllHAnds09:32
LaserJockI'm still in Technical09:32
LaserJockbut merging into community ;-)09:32
highvoltageLaserJock: ok09:33
willvdlLaserJock, that is why we need to lower the barrier to emtry for people to get involved09:33
LaserJockso I just wanted to kick it around09:33
willvdlI agree with you completely09:33
LaserJockwillvdl: well, I'm not exactly sure that there is so much a barrier09:33
LaserJockas just not a lot of info09:34
LaserJockbut we haven't traditionally needed a lot I don't think09:34
=== dsas [n=dean@host-84-9-171-12.bulldogdsl.com] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
willvdlI dunno, sometimes it's hard to get involved in an ongoing process09:34
LaserJockwe've mostly been Ubuntu+LTSP09:34
willvdlwhen the leader of that process can break down more "trivial" or external tasks09:34
LaserJockwhich requires a lot of technical skill and we've had that with ogra and sbalneav , etc.09:35
LaserJockbut things like the Student Control Panel09:35
willvdland now we'll be concentrating more on educational apps09:35
LaserJockDynamic Menus09:35
LaserJockand the opprotunities with the 2nd CD09:35
LaserJockto add on the educational apps that will push Edubuntu into a really cool position09:36
LaserJockof having the best LTSP server platform09:36
LaserJockand the best selection of educational apps09:36
LaserJockall in a very easy and usable package09:36
willvdlall free/gratis/vir niks09:36
LaserJockyep09:36
sbalneavback09:36
LaserJockanyway, I wanted to kinda test the waters to see if there are people who want to get involved with this sort of thing09:37
LaserJockor even if it's needed09:37
LaserJockthe idea being documenting a bit better our Edubuntu roadmap09:38
LaserJockand breaking up things into bite size chunks for people to work on09:38
sbalneavThe big thing we've needed to attract to Edubuntu is actual educators, which we've got now with David Trask, so hopefully we'll start getting some good input from him, which will attract others.09:38
LaserJockyeah, I'm hopeful that RichEd's efforts of getting educators involved09:39
LaserJockcombined with attracting more development power09:39
LaserJockwith really create a infusion of creativity, inovation, and rockin' power09:40
LaserJocks/with/will/09:40
LaserJockbah, my spelling stinks09:40
=== LaserJock goes back to elementary
willvdlthe creation of ubuntu-education will certainly help09:40
highvoltagewillvdl: how is that going, btw?09:40
willvdlwell, as I understand it:09:41
highvoltage#ubuntu-education has been awfully quiet :(09:41
sbalneavWe need to get serious about the handbook, and I'd like to make a suggestion when we get around to that part of the meeting.09:41
willvdlthe website is getting tweaked to be in line with ubuntu09:41
pygisbalneav: I agree, and I want to tell something when we come there09:41
willvdland another "External" ubuntueducation.com website will emerge09:41
willvdlwhich is technically removed as such09:41
willvdlfor educators specifically09:41
stgraberOne thing we should really do is a easy to send form (maybe webbased) to know exactly what the teachers are currently using (their Windows environment, what features, what kind of software), what they do with Edubuntu, what's missing and what they would like to see in the next release09:42
LaserJockyeah09:42
willvdlon the ubuntueducation website we will have the freedom to explore such things09:42
stgraberthen it will be easy to make the list of the packages we should include in the default desktop and for what age range09:43
LaserJockok09:46
willvdlshall we move on09:46
LaserJockany Artwork?09:46
willvdlwe spoke some time back of bulking up the artwork team09:47
LaserJockyeah, I think AliasVegas was probably a bit overwhelmed09:47
LaserJockI think she has plans for getting more of a community around it09:48
willvdlyeah, she would become a proj manager rather and run with contributions09:48
LaserJockso... Docs?09:48
LaserJocksbalneav and pygi : shoot!09:49
pygiLaserJock: ok, I wanna say just one thing for that09:49
pygiLaserJock: let sbalneav write, as I will have a lot to write about it this time...09:49
sbalneavumm, ok09:49
sbalneavI think one of the things we need to do is to start doing a weekly build of the handbook, say into a pdf, and posting it on the website.09:50
LaserJockhmm, good idea09:50
sbalneavWe're getting some questions on the mailing list that could be answered by the handbook, and currently, it's not accessible.09:50
LaserJockyeah, proofreading and beta testing while helping people09:51
willvdlhow do we handle docs (handbook) for seperate versions? LTS, edgy and feisty?09:51
sbalneavI think the thing to do would be to mark it as an "in progress work", and continue to release it.09:51
=== dsas_ [n=dean@host-84-9-171-12.bulldogdsl.com] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
LaserJockok, well this is how we do it in the Doc team09:51
highvoltageguys, I'm having trouble staying awake, (been long day), will catch up and take some notes tomorrow morning, goodnight!09:51
sbalneavWell, currently, afaik, there's just the one version of the handbook, for edgy.09:51
LaserJockwe have our svn repo09:51
pygisbalneav: and dapper09:51
willvdlciao09:51
sbalneavgnight highvoltage09:51
LaserJockcya highvoltage 09:52
LaserJockfrom our svn repo we build the docs and put them on doc.ubuntu.com09:52
highvoltagegnight sbalneav and LaserJock!09:52
stgrabergood night highvoltage 09:52
highvoltageand stgraber and pygi and willvdl  :)09:52
LaserJockonce we come to a release, we move the stable/finished docs to help.ubuntu.com09:52
willvdlgnight09:52
pyginight highvoltage 09:52
LaserJocksince technically the Handbook is in the doc team svn repo too it can be done the same09:53
LaserJockI'm not sure how often doc.ubuntu.com is updated (it used to be daily)09:53
pygiSince pre-Dapper time we had trouble finding contributors for the Handbook. It has appeared that a lot are interested, lot are applying for tasks, and they don't finish it. At the end me and Susas, with a bit of help from herman and pete were able to write it, and release it at dapper release date. We always had problems, but we managed somehow. What I'd suggest is a more coordinate route this time, so you can get it in time perfectl09:53
pygiy ready. Sadly, there is a 99% that I won't be here for you anymore, but you are welcome to mail me or contact me by any means if you need any outstanding help.09:53
pygiI truncated a lot, no time for writing, sorry09:53
willvdlRichEd, has asked me to take a proj manager role on docs09:54
willvdlwhat is the difference supposed to be between doc.u.c and help.u.c ?09:55
LaserJockhelp.u.c is the stable/released docs09:56
LaserJockdoc.u.c is the "work in progress"09:56
willvdlis doc.u.c basically a svn snapshot?09:56
LaserJockyes09:56
LaserJockdoc.u.c actually holds our svn repo09:57
willvdlgot it, I think nixternal explained that to me but I forgot09:57
LaserJockso we just build it and place it in the /www09:57
willvdlanyhoo, I'm happy to take a higher level overview of it09:57
willvdltogether with school advocacy and general marketing materials09:58
LaserJockanyway, I just brought it up as an example of how the doc team does it09:58
LaserJockand since the handbook already exists in the doc team repo it'd probably be pretty easy to include it09:58
willvdlthanks. will certainly not reinvent any wheels :)09:58
LaserJockthere's already an Edubuntu section on doc.u.c09:59
nixternalhttp://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/handbook/C09:59
sbalneavWell, the problem is edubuntu docs aren't being actively worked on in the main repo, but rather the digitalredneck repo09:59
sbalneavhence the suggestion for the weekly build from there.10:00
nixternalsbalneav: i have been taking the digitalredneck repo files and merging them with the doc repos, and fixing them so they build10:00
sbalneavhave you pushed the fixes back to dr?10:01
nixternalyup10:01
sbalneavok10:01
willvdldr?10:01
sbalneavdigital redneck10:01
willvdlah, never ind10:01
willvdl:)10:01
LaserJockI think it would be good to transition over to the doc team repo at some point10:02
LaserJockour original idea was to use susan's repo until they go doc team svn access10:02
Burgworkwe can get access, it is not hard10:02
nixternali put in to get them access and never heard back10:03
LaserJockwe might have to do some poking :-)10:03
pyginixternal: only susan needs access atm I think ... 10:03
willvdlcan do. shouldn't be a problem to get it in10:03
LaserJockso...10:05
LaserJockany more doc stuff?10:06
pyginop10:06
willvdljust that we must try and get involved more with spreadubuntu10:06
willvdlwill need to make some advcacy materials for it10:06
LaserJockok10:06
willvdlmerge edubuntu-marketing with ubuntu-marketing?10:07
willvdlno need to dilute that community...10:07
willvdljust a thought10:07
LaserJockwillvdl: do you think you could write up a little doc/marketing TODO on the wiki?10:07
LaserJockjust so people can follow a bit of what's going on and where we are heading?10:08
willvdlsure. I need to analyse in detail what ubuntu marketing does and what's deprecated10:08
Burgworkwillvdl: ubuntu-marketing is explicitly also kubuntu- and xubuntu-10:08
willvdlexactly10:08
Burgworkas -doc is all as well10:08
LaserJockyep10:08
LaserJockok, any more community stuff?10:10
willvdlnot from me10:11
willvdlother than it is deffers time to publish a plan10:11

LaserJockand what bite-sized things need to be done right now10:12
willvdlyip. we need to clean out some stuff too10:12
