Kamping_KaiserRichEd, can do then01:07
ogra_so01:07
RichEdokay, ogra ... technical ?01:07
HobbseeRichEd: ouch01:07
ograwell, some good and some not so good news01:08
pips1give us the good news first :)01:08
ogralibpam_mount has a good bunch of problems, as well as i didnt find a proper method to replace the files in /etc/pam.d ...01:08
ograwihich is a bad thing foe edubuntu auth server and client01:09
Kamping_KaiserRichEd, sent01:09
RichEdKamping_Kaiser: tx mate01:09
ograi think i'll defer these two to feisty+1 since i think the implementation needs far more testing than i could give it tis cycle01:09
ograthat will block fat clients as well ...01:10
pips1ouch01:10

RichEdpity ...01:10
pips1right..01:10
RichEdagreed ... stability is essential ... else we fall into the rest of the grey muddle01:11
ograwell, it's not only stability, but also finding more proper ways to implement it01:11
ograltsp-sound: is done so far, tw packages waiting in the mai inclusion queue for review but thats it, its implemented ...01:12

cbx33heh01:13
ografor his awesome work01:13
cbx33ogra: have you heard of TCOS?01:13
FujitsuI must say, TCM looks absolutely great!01:13
cbx33it will work great soon too :p01:13
cbx33jus a few bugs to iron out01:13
=== TeTeT [n=spindler@modemcable178.77-70-69.static.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
ograedubuntu-on-2-cds: ready for testing .... if you run a decent feisty with up to date gnome-app-install and update-manager packages, it should work like specced01:14
ograplease test01:14
ograltsp-manager: im still working on that one and hope i have uploaded a gui till tomorrow01:14
=== elkbuntu [n=melissa@ubuntu/member/elkbuntu] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
ograthe backend part is done though01:14
ograwhich brings us a great set of modules for all kinds on ltsp admin work01:15
cbx33nice01:15
ogra(clicking together a web gui with python-ltsp will be a charm ;) )01:15
cbx33ogra: seems like someone else is working on a TCM-esque tool01:15
cbx33http://soleup.eup.uva.es/trac/wiki/TcosMonitor#Capturas01:15
cbx33looks pretty feature rich actually01:15
ograyes, i know that01:15
ograi think tcm is on par with it, dont you ?01:16
cbx33ahh...I'd never heard of it01:16
cbx33yes01:16
cbx33the guys as TCOS commented on my blog post01:16
cbx33s/as/at01:16
ograyou should write some documentation how to write plugins for it after release :)01:16
=== fernando [n=fernando@189.0.159.101] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
cbx33i will01:17
ograso we can get some external contributions01:17
cbx33nice01:17
ograso i think thats about it with y specs .... i'm really sorry about the auth server stuff, and i already thought about only having ldap auth with no homedir mounting ... but that doesnt seem the right thing01:18
cbx33ogra: we have a fair amount of new stuff01:18
cbx33;)01:18
ograso i'll put my focus on it next release and take less new specs01:18
cbx33Jordan and I were looking at packages last night for the second cd01:18
ogracbx33, yes, but its a *hype* feature01:18
ograits the most users requested feature we have ...01:19
pips1yep01:19
cbx33Jordan wanted me to ask you....are we tied by the deadline of FF for MIR's on the second CD01:19
ograeve though i found the 2cd spec far more important i agree that we need something in that area01:19
cbx33as someone said to him that it was largely up to you01:19
ogramy plan is to have at least the essential bits in main and on the CD01:20
ograso people dont need to download the bits and pieces to set it up01:20
cbx33cool01:20
ograi have three main inclusion reports pending for it ... lets see what pitti says :)01:20
pips1ogra: what is blocking the auth?01:20
cbx33ogra: did you see my question from Jordan?01:21
ograpips1, the fact that i'd have to fiddle with /etc/pam.d/* files01:21
ograand a bug n libpam-mount01:21
pips1right01:22
ograpips1, imho the pam.d structure needs an overthought before we start doing stuff like replacing login methods in there01:22
ograit's not pluggable at all, you have to modify textfiles line by line ... i'd like to address a mechanism to properly change these files through just dropping files in place without the need to modify existing ones01:23
ograbut time was to short and this wasnt specced01:24
ogra(it's underlying architecture we didnt take into account during the speccing sessions)01:24
=== pips1 searches packages.ubuntu.com for libpam-mount.. "PAM module that can mount volumes for a user session"
ograsince the fat-client bit is doe but cant be included, i'll chop it down a bit and we can at least ship a kiosk module01:25
ogras/doe/done/01:25
ograpips1, its responsible for mounting the users homedir at login01:26
cbx33yeh that stuff is tricky01:26
ograwe dont gain anything without it apart from a more complicated user administration01:26
ograjust ldap doesnt really help ...01:26
ograyou need the combo of the different pieces and the integration01:26
ograthere are pleant of howtos to set up ldap auth with pam-mount, so having the pieces needed for it on the CD shoud be a first step01:27
ogra*plenty01:28
RichEdwe can also have a wiki page with the how-to info linked or embedded01:29
ograright01:29
RichEdrecipes for idjits01:29
RichEd(my sort of level ;)01:29
pips1so you are suggesting to re-package libpam-mount ... for debian?01:29
ograwell, its not easy ...01:29
ograyou need some small skills ....01:29
cbx33small skills01:30
cbx33hehe01:30
ograediting the right textfiles and working on the commandline and with apt there ...01:30
ograbut if you have these and just follow a good guide it shoud work ...01:30
RichEdthat's why I said recipes ... people can follow step-by-step instructions withought understanding the theory01:30
RichEd*without01:31
ograright01:31
pips1would it be possible to configure auth manually on a feisty ... while keeping an upgrade path to feisty+1 intact?01:31
ograit should, yes ... i need to talk with moquist about it ...01:31
pips1ok01:32
ograanyway, please test the serveraddon iso ...01:32
ograthats the most important spec we have so it deserves plenty of testing01:32
pips1gotcha :)01:33
ograsound tests on thin clients are appreciated as well btw01:33
ograis rodarvus here ?01:33
pips1so the serveraddon iso is now built with every 'Herd' release?01:33
ograyes01:33
ograand with every daily01:34

ograi'll chnage the seeds before the weekend01:34
ograso there should be more apps then01:34
cbx33ogra: Jordan and I worked on that last night01:34
cbx33did you see my question above?01:34
ograright, you said that01:34
pips1cbx33: what is the status?01:34
cbx33well Jordan has 7 apps earmarked01:34
cbx33with a total of 15 MIRs01:35
ogracbx33, i think we can add software later as well, but not add features to it ...01:35
pips1he did the 15 MIRs himself? already?01:35
cbx33no not yet01:35
ograsomewhere n the wiki is a detailed definition of the freeze states i thin01:35
cbx33but I wrote a script to make it easy01:35
cbx33ogra: that would be useful01:35
ograhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeatureFreeze hmm01:37
ograedubuntu on 2 cds is a low prio goal ...01:37
pips1doesn't look good01:38
cbx33no01:38
ograwe have some stuff in main we can add though01:38

willvdlwoot.01:46
willvdlogra, 90 language packs?01:46
RichEdI said this was good news re Mike Barnes and his ubuntu on edu appliciances.01:46
willvdlthat's going to take some work01:46
RichEd*appliances01:46
willvdlRichEd, true.01:47
ograRichEd, that wont get us official support for xfce from canonical though01:47
cbx33is moodle likeley?01:47
pips1RichEd: expand ?01:47
ogracbx33, i havent seen anything yet, according to rodrigo it is ...01:47
willvdlogra, are language packs maintained acording to relevant package? or is there someone overseeing it in general?01:47
ograwillvdl, pitti and carlos01:47
RichEda thai company under US management produces low spec machines, targetting africa and developing countries01:47
willvdlogra cool. I know some of the african langs are a bit behind and just need to be repackaged01:48
ograwillvdl, carlos for the rosetta side, pitti for distro01:48
RichEdthey are low cost, and importantly low power devices ... suitable for non-airconditioned batter environments01:48
RichEdbattery / alternate power01:48
RichEdthey are using ubuntu with xfce to reduce spec requirements01:48
willvdlah, I didn't know he was using xfce01:49
RichEdthey are pushing aggressively into S America and Africa, and are wanting to meet us to work together01:49
pips1nice one01:49
pips1... more testers for edubuntu .. hopefully :)01:50
ograyeah01:50
willvdlas long as the testers feedback to community01:50
ograok, i'm done with tech next ?01:50
cbx33what's next?01:50
RichEdtech documentation01:52
willvdlCool. Handbook needs contributions! There are a few indipendant efforts, I'm just trying to merge them01:52
cjwatsonogra: FWIW I think the important bit of edubuntu-on-two-cds to get in before feature freeze was the infrastructure; obviously the earlier the better for the rest of it but I don't think FF is really a hard deadline there01:52
cbx33nice cjwatson01:53
ogracjwatson, its about the MIRs01:53
ograwe dont have MIRs for all apps yet ...01:54
cbx33jordan is working on them01:54
cbx33I would have helped but i have the book deadline tomorrow01:54
cbx33so i wrtoe the script to help him out01:54
pips1ogra: do language packs for edubuntu-desktop exist, in Main, yet?01:56
ograpips1, define "language packs for edubuntu-desktop" ?01:56
ograwhat would make them special ?01:56
pips1nothing, I suppose01:57
ograright01:57
willvdlstelis has written some stuff and is going to merge into doc-team SVN01:57
pips1language packs are handled differently in the distro process though, right?01:57
ograthe language-support packages have translations for all apps in main ....01:57
pips1right01:57
ograright, their creation is handled differently01:57
willvdldoes anyone know if sbalneav has written any LTSP stuff?01:58
cbx33there's a lot of LTSP stuff01:58
cbx33i saw the other day01:58
ograwillvdl, most of it01:58
pips1good question01:58
willvdlurk, I must of botched my svn update01:58
pips1hurray01:58
ograat least in the edubuntu book01:58
willvdlhandbook?01:59
ograyeah01:59
willvdlok, I definately botched my update01:59
ograthe ltsp section was written by him01:59
willvdlsweet. stelis is writing an install guide01:59
willvdlwe jsut have to merge his efforts01:59
ografor edubuntu ?01:59
willvdlyip02:00
ografor which installer does he write it ?02:00
ograthe text one i hope ....02:00
willvdlwell, it's background stuff at the mo but for feisty I hope02:00
ografor ubiquity the instal guide is: pop in livecd, doubleclick "install now", answer the questions, reboot :P02:01
willvdlyeah but some screenshots and default info would be nice :)02:01
willvdlplus theres stand-alone vs ltsp install02:01
cjwatsonthere is already an installation guide. I would much prefer any guide for the text installer to be merged into that02:01
cjwatsonsee help.ubuntu.com and the installation-guide source package02:01
ograas long as we ship the server cd i'm more intrested in d-i howtos :)02:02
willvdlcjwatson, is it not in the doc-team repo?02:02
cjwatsonwillvdl: no, it comes from Debian02:02
ograwillvdl, nope02:02
willvdlhmmm, we need to make it _very_ accessable to new users02:02
cjwatsonit's important for me to be able to keep it reasonably in sync with Debian02:02
willvdlI didn't even know about it02:02
willvdldo we have one for ltsp install?02:04
cjwatsonnot yet, but it could be added as a section02:05
cjwatsonthe stuff I think it's important not to reinvent is all the automatic installation bits02:05
cjwatsonthose change from release to release02:06
cjwatsonI don't much care if there's a separate easy install guide that doesn't refer to that at all :)02:06
willvdlagreed. I'm more concerned about having it boldly linked from somewhere obvious02:06
cjwatsonbut I don't want to have to maintain preseeding documentation in multiple places (and it's the installer team that will always end up maintaining preseeding docs, in practice)02:06
willvdlok, I'll look into it02:10
willvdlcan someone link me to the install guide? I can't seem to find it02:10
ograwillvdl, the ltsp install from d-i is only one menu item ...02:10
ograyou select it and watch a progress bar02:10
ogra(or use edubuntu and its selected for you)02:11
willvdlogra, it may be simple but I believe there's great value in referencing it somewhere02:11
willvdlfor example, install guides seldom include partioning guidelines02:11
pips1what about the documentation for TCM ?02:12
ograright ...02:12
ograpips1, in the works afaik02:13
pips1will that live on the wiki only for feisty?02:13

pips1ogra, does ltsp-management-gui need doc?02:14
ograpips1, it will ship what it needs02:14
ograapp docs are usually in the package02:15
pips1i.e. a 'Help' button that triggers yelp with the according help text..02:15

willvdlyip02:30
RichEdI'll update:02:30
cbx33the edubuntu chater in the book looks good02:30
cbx33ogra updated it02:30
cbx33and made usre I hadn't made ny big mistakes02:30
willvdlhttps://wiki.edubuntu.org/Edubuntu/Wiki/SiteMap is coming along02:30
willvdlit is an overview of what I'm putting in the wiki02:31
willvdlWIP, still adding bits on how to contribute02:31
=== RichEd is loading
willvdlremeber that page is just a site map, not a landing page02:31
RichEdlet me add my 2c here ... as it will have some impact02:31
RichEdnewz2000 (matt nuzum) is doing a revamp of ubuntu.com and is moving it to Drupal02:32
ogradoes it have any impact on us ?02:32
willvdlyip. spoken to him at length02:32
ograwe're using drupl since the beginning02:32
RichEdhe is going to create sub-areas for "portal like information" with www.ubuntu.com/education being one of the first areas he will look at with us02:32
willvdlstatic info goes in web. dynamic info moving to wiki02:32
ograand our server is separate, isnt it ?02:32
pips1ogra: yes02:33
ograah, so *we will have impact one the ubuntu page* now :)02:33
pips1:)02:33
willvdlwhat will be in that portal?02:33
RichEdwell what it means that we'll have an "ubuntu and education" area on ubuntu.com02:33
RichEdas well as our edubuntu.org which we will continue to look after02:33
RichEdand also the wiki02:33
willvdlthe wiki's at least are the same thing02:34
RichEdso matt will look at the education solution space, and edubuntu and ubuntu and kubuntu will all have a spot in the education picture02:34
ograwhich doesnt make it easier02:34
willvdlogra, I imagine it will jsut be general overview stuff02:35
willvdlthe meat must stay in the wiki02:35
RichEdit will be aimed at decision makers coming into ubuntu from the top down, and wanting to explore education solutions02:35
RichEdso, yes, it will be overview info, and will link to our own pages where there is any real meat required02:35
RichEdbut it will give an education department (for example) the idea that they can use ubuntu servers in the datacenter / server farm and edubuntu in the classroom ...02:36
RichEdand get support for both from canonical ... as well as the community02:36
RichEdthe main impact it will have is that the community area that pips1 and I have been planning will now be more clearly defined.02:37
willvdlhow so?02:37
RichEdwe'll keep the user space for fringe stuff that does not fit in any official resource areas.02:37
RichEdso the consideration will be by default for any information we want to add: "does this fit into an approved ubuntu or edubuntu space" ...02:38
RichEdand only exception information or discussion etc. will be in the ubuntu-education area02:39
RichEdI'll be putting up a wiki page to work out what goes where.02:39
RichEdSo if kids are joining up to post news about their school, we do not want them to create a launchpad account before they are able to post a news item or comments on user issues.02:40
RichEdBut by the same token we do not want people posting news etc. to areas where it looks as if they are speaking on behalf of our community.02:41
RichEdSo we'll have the fringe space as a place to catch info, and revise it for quality, and then move it to an official space when it is cleared.02:41
willvdlsame with the forums?02:42
pips1I think of the community space of "where all the action takes place" and the ubuntu.com website as "official top-down, settled info", while the wiki is somewhat an intermediary place for people that want to contirubute to edubuntu more extensively (i.e. documentation, packaging, bug fixing, rather than "just" discussing).02:42
RichEdyep. if someone wants to create a forum topic for swopping cool pictures created by 8 year olds using tux-paint ... then that stays in the user communtiy space.02:43
RichEdsimilarly, for people to discuss *any* application they are using, regardless of compliance to our policies, they can create a thread.02:44
pips1willvdl: ubuntuforums is focussed on *buntu foremost, and slanted towards helping to use/configure the OS and Apps in *buntu...02:44
RichEdif lots of users comment on the application, then we will review it (using the users to do user level reviews) and then move it "across the border" into our official space if we want to serioudly consider it for universe or main02:45
RichEdat LCA, everyone was very keen to have a space where kids and teachers can review an application, for age level, usability, curriculum fit etc.02:46
RichEdand as the cream floats to the top, we'll tackle the good bits02:46
pips1in the education community space, the focus should be on education.. not only apps, but also content.. even references to content available elsewhere on the web...02:47
ograwell, depends on your POV02:47
RichEdsame thing for resources ... if we see that there are useful helpful people in the community space, we'll encourage them into our core community to help them skill up via the path of documentation contributor etc. to add bandwidth02:47
ografor me from a tech side the focus *is* on apps :)02:47
RichEdagreed ogra. but people also want to swop content links, school-projects etc.02:49
ograindeed02:49
ograi just wanted to poit that we have to cover both :)02:49
ogra*point02:49
RichEdso we'll keep that away from our core space, but provide an umbrella where people can swop that info, and feel that ubuntu / edubuntu is a cool community to help them find a home02:49
RichEdso we'll even encourage skolelinix and debian-edu and k12ltsp people to share in the education conversations02:50
RichEdand hope that they will "all see the light" and have a religious revalation at some point02:50
RichEd*revelation02:50
ograheh02:50
pips1maybe think of the online education space as "additional services, from the (greater edu + foss) community, for the (more specific edu+buntu) community"02:51
willvdland fall of their horses?02:51
RichEdthe idea is that we use *as little of our resource bandwdith as possible* and it must be driven "by the users for the users" etc.02:51
RichEdwe can look at the wiki page I'll have up next week and discuss02:52
RichEdwillvdl: any more doc / web stuff ? we've got 8 mins left02:53
willvdlnot from me. just that:02:53
willvdlkeep looking at https://wiki.edubuntu.org/Edubuntu/Cleanup to see what we can fix02:53
pips1well, that is putting it negatively... I think of it as: offer a platform for community exchange.02:53
RichEdI was hoping to be able to officially announce our Ubuntu Education Summit, and release the web page I have ready to go ... but the powers that be want to announce the Ubuntu Developer Summit in one jpint release.02:54
RichEd*joint02:54
RichEdSo. I'll just be able to give the overview for today.02:55
=== gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@ubuntu/member/gnomefreak] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
pips1Also, i want to add, that the new community site will only fly if we get quality contributions from the exisiting edubuntu core ppl and hopefully some early and good input from other communities (guada, etc)02:55
ograwell, its on the public wiki :)02:55
RichEdogra yes, but clan sayes silbs wants to let the balloons go herself :)02:55
ograoki :)02:56
ograshe gets all the fun :P02:56
RichEdWe have had approval for a 2 day education summit, which will be in the first week off May in Seville, Spain.02:56
RichEd*of02:56
RichEdThursday & Friday.02:56
RichEdThe summit will mainly be aimed at Educators and Decision Makers ...02:57
RichEdWith presentations on success stories in FOSS in education ...02:57
RichEdAnd discussions around training & support etc ...02:57
RichEdThe idea is to provide a high confidence level to people contemplating the awful future that Vista promises for them ... in terms of licencing, costs, and the migration issues.02:58
RichEdAnd to show them that Edubuntu is a viable alternative, mature enough to do the job.02:58
pips1Seville, looking forward to it ! :)02:59
RichEdWe will have some technical discussions, but these will mainly be with tools & 3rd party developers arond relationships and integration.02:59
RichEdWe'll have some discussions around "feature requests" and "future direction" but the meat of the feature work will take place at UDS as already established.03:00
RichEdUDS follows 2 days after our summit.03:00
=== RichEd is done
RichEdtime is done as well03:00
RichEdany more issues from anyone ?03:01
willvdlnope03:01
