LaserJocknixternal: around?01:20
nixternalyup01:22
LaserJocknixternal: did you see mdke's question to me about what items we want on the front page?01:23
nixternalI seen something about it, but I didn't notice the specific items01:23
nixternalare Ubuntu docs getting installed as well?01:24
LaserJockyes01:24
nixternalok, it would be nice to kind of keep their layout, but add like the 3 links to the Edubuntu docs01:24
nixternalHandbook, Release Notes, and School Advocacy?01:24
nixternalthat is my opinion on it01:24
LaserJockwhat about About Edubuntu?01:25
nixternalooh, forgot that one, yes that too01:25
LaserJockSchool Advocacy is a little odd01:26
nixternalthen remove that. I wasn't sure on its status01:26
LaserJockwell, I just think the name is weird01:27
nixternalI think for Feisty+1, Edubuntu docs needs to go TBH, and either keep the handbook for PDF/HTML for say the Wiki or somewhere else, or get rid of it01:28
nixternalthey need to hurry up and open up translation for Feisty01:29
nixternalwe are coming down to a month left01:29
nixternalI can already see the doc bugs, "docs are translated for my language, or some sections are and some aren't"01:30
LaserJockit's not much use to translate stuff if you're just going to have to translate it again01:31
LaserJockok, so do you know how About Edubuntu and Release Notes are doing?01:32
nixternalI never messed with them, so they are probably the same as they always have been01:33
LaserJockwhich means they need to be rewritten :-)01:34
nixternaldon't know about rewritted but possibly updated01:34
nixternalcan we do that with string freeze01:34
LaserJockwell, I think it'd pretty large reworking01:35
LaserJockthose docs are at least 2-3 releases old01:35
nixternalactually with About Edubuntu you are looking at possibly and hours worth of work01:36
nixternaland?01:36
nixternalof about an hours worth of work01:36

LaserJockok01:48
LaserJockso do you have any time to look at About Edubuntu and Edubuntu Release Notes?01:48
LaserJocknixternal: ^^01:50
nixternalyes02:03
nixternalI am working on Mailody docs for KDE, just getting it started really. I am going to go get some ice cream and then I will work on Edubuntu docs. sound good?02:03
LaserJockgood02:04
nixternalgood deal, I shall return then and get to work on it02:04
nixternalshould I work in trunk or feisty branch with this?02:05
nixternalI think working out of the feisty branch will be fine02:05
nixternalLP isn't even open for translations yet02:05
LaserJockyeah02:10
LaserJockI think Edubuntu won't get much translation this go around02:10
LaserJockI think it's more important for use to get decent docs02:10

boredandblogginghi guys04:13
boredandbloggingcan anyone point me to a non-technical description of Linux and Ubuntu? I would like to put it on our LoCo page.04:13
LaserJockthe ubuntu.com website doesn't have enough04:15
boredandbloggingmore along the lines of if someone doesn't quite know what linux is04:21
nixternalLaserJock: when pronouncing Edubuntu is it ed-oo-boon-too or edu-boon-too04:28
nixternalthe proper way I guess04:28
LaserJockhmm, I think the 1st one04:29
nixternalthink? :)04:29
nixternalhey, they dropped support for PowerPC didn't they?04:40
LaserJockofficial support04:44
LaserJockthey are still making .isos04:44
nixternalhrmm, I didn't see any for 7.0404:45
LaserJockI think are there04:46
LaserJockhmm, I don't see Herd 504:46
LaserJockmaybe it didn't make Herd504:47
LaserJockbut the will be spinning CDs04:47
nixternalok, that is all I needed to know04:48
nixternalI am almost done with the about doc04:48
LaserJockI think you could just say that PPC is community supported04:48
nixternalnone of the Edubuntu devs are paid are they?04:50
nixternalCanonical just employs Ubuntu devs, and 1 Kubuntu dev04:50
LaserJockno04:52
LaserJockEdubuntu technically has more than Kubuntu04:52
LaserJockogra is Canonical04:52
nixternalK, well that is 1 :)04:53
LaserJockwell, there's also RichEd and willdvl and rodrigo04:53
nixternalOK, true :)04:54
LaserJockbut ogra is currently the only Edubuntu dev04:55
CIA-4Ubuntu Documentation: nixternal feisty * r3968 /edubuntu/about-edubuntu/C/about-edubuntu.xml: complete - review05:00
nixternalLaserJock: there is a new shell to work with, go through and see if you need more added/changed. I am thinking a little more "Education" info possibly05:01
nixternalhrmm, the release notes shouldn't really be packaged should they? I thought that was what the website was for?05:02
LaserJockI feel like they should be both, but maybe that's just me05:02
nixternalUbuntu and Kubuntu aren't shipping release notes05:02
LaserJockwell, then we can not if you want05:03
nixternalI swore the release notes were supposed to get absorbed into some Ubiquity slideshow05:03
nixternalLaserJock: it is up to you, the almighty Edubuntu and MOTU man05:03
LaserJockbah05:03
nixternalhaha05:03
LaserJockwe should ask ogra about ubiquity05:03

LaserJockthe dept. sys admin ( a CS grad student) wants to teach a "CS for Chemists" class with me07:45
LaserJockbut we'd need to get people interested07:45
crimsunpizza, semester/quarter stipends, and promises of removing FORTRAN should do it07:46
Admiral_ChicagoFORTRAN rocks07:47
LaserJockalmost everything we do is Fortran07:47
crimsunit does, but not for Ubuntu ;)07:47
LaserJockbut we need info on shell scripting and stuff like using python to analyze data07:48
LaserJockthe sys admin wrote a simple bash/perl script and saved a grad student like a weeks worth of work07:48
