Burgundaviahey LaserJock08:20
LaserJockhow's it going Corey?08:20
Burgundaviawork is crazy busy08:22
Burgundaviaand I get to rip out all the Ubuntu I have installed08:22
Burgundaviabecause it is not "maintainable"08:22
Burgundaviamy kingdom for ltsp08:23
LaserJockhehe08:27
LaserJockpoor Burgundavia08:27
Burgundaviaapparently "we are going to use DiscoverStation and NetworkPersonalizer internally"08:28
Burgundaviaright08:28
Burgundaviaoh, and userful is hiring08:28
LaserJockhehe08:30
LaserJockwell, Canonical is making everybody use Feisty internally I think08:31
LaserJockalthough maybe not quite yet08:32
Burgundaviareally? they are running prerelease on a product system?08:32
BurgundaviaI can see running it once it is stable08:32
LaserJockI think they might force it at Beta08:32
LaserJockI saw Mark telling the LP guys to get prepared08:32
LaserJockas a way of getting bugs worked out I guess08:33
Burgundaviaright08:33
Burgundaviaseems sane for some, but others not so much08:33
BurgundaviaI am fairly conservative when it comes to product machines08:34
Burgundaviaproduction machines, rather08:34
Burgundaviathe whole office runs dapper for this very reason08:35
LaserJockI don't have any dapper or edgy machines anymore08:36
LaserJockonly Feisty08:36
LaserJockalthough it's a pain for SRUs08:36
Burgundaviahaving the dapper machines at work has been a good wakeup call08:37
Burgundaviaotherwise I would have no dapper machiens either08:37

=== ogra_ [n=ogra@p548AD65E.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #edubuntu
jsgotangcocbx33: no idea yet, besides, projects are still submitting for inclusion. Probably doko will handle it again, or another guy like RichEd05:10
jsgotangcodo you want to mentor?05:11
cbx33yes05:11
cbx33and I have a student05:11
=== bddebian [n=bdefrees@63.81.56.182] has joined #edubuntu
jsgotangcocbx33: well if the selection mechanism would be the same again, the student has to propose it then the mentors will have to vote for it05:13
cbx33so basically he needs to come up ith a project?05:13
cbx33how do I become a mentor?05:13
jsgotangcocbx33: yes the project is supposed to be the student's, not exactly yours ;-)05:14
cbx33of course not ;)05:14
jsgotangcobut he'll be fighting out with like 200+ applications or probably even more05:17
cbx33yikes05:22
cbx33but for edubuntu05:22
cbx33likely to be better chance right?05:22
jsgotangcoyeah05:23
jsgotangcoedubuntu can probably allocate 2 specific projects05:24
jsgotangcocbx33: looking at the student proposals alone can be a funny experience05:24
cbx33so if I wanted to be a mentor....05:25
cbx33who would i talk to doko?05:25
jsgotangcojust wait for the announcement, i have no idea who will be handling it or if ubuntu will even join SoC this year05:25

mrwizard14Hi all,08:55
mrwizard14Desmume is a linux DS emulator. It is currently not perfect, and there is no many games that run correctly but, it's a real technical performance.08:55
mrwizard14quote08:55
mrwizard14there's a french tutorial08:56
mrwizard14but it needs translating08:56
LaserJockhehe, they need to work on URLs08:56
LaserJockhttp://www.desmume.com is for windows and http://www.desmume.org is apparently for Linux08:56
mrwizard14wow08:57
