[01:32] If you know of any Auz or NZ uni that teaches open source as part of degree ... let me know. [01:32] RichEd, awsome. i look forward to chatting when your able. [01:32] i'll ask around [01:33] RichEd, how 'open source' specifically - i know at leats one of adelaids unis teach using GCC for building, and some RH workstations [01:33] *least, Adelaide [01:34] who is the ubuntu training manager? [01:34] Kamping_Kaiser: we want one that has seen the light ... Portsmouth started to use Ubuntu in their own infrastructure, and then naturally started to base their coursework on it [01:34] jsgotangco: Billy Cina [01:35] i hear so many new names in corporate canonical lately [01:35] Kamping_Kaiser: they do courses like a 2 year masters in Internet Technology ... 12 months of which must be a large project ... with placement in a school or company [01:35] right. i'll ask around about open source in general, with a particular intrest in ubuntu [01:36] So it is a real hands on course to eject the student directly into work ... not theory and then a need to upskill into the real world [01:36] ok === bimberi [n=dave@ubuntu/member/pdpc.active.bimberi] has joined #edubuntu [01:47] how is this for a logic leap: [01:47] Database >> Wednesday May 09, 2007 [01:47] Google [01:47] SOFTWARE / WINDOWS VERSUS LINUX [01:47] Microsoft director out to 'debunk mythology around open source' [01:47] DON SAMBANDARAKSA [01:47] Microsoft platform strategy director Bill Hilf [01:47] "The Free Software movement is dead. Linux doesn't exist in 2007. Even Linus has got a job today." Controversial statements from the head of Microsoft's Linux Labs, Bill Hilf. [01:47] Speaking on the last leg of a tour of Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand, Bill Hilf, more formally known as Microsoft's platform strategy director, was in the region to "be descriptive and intelligent in giving people an understanding of open source and debunk a lot of the mythology around open source." [01:47] He said that most customers run a distribution - RedHat, Novell, Suse or Mandriva. Most of the work on maintaining the Linux kernel is done by developers working for these distributions, he noted [01:47] "They are full-time employees, with 401K stock options. Some work for IBM or Oracle. What does that mean? It means that Linux doesn't exist any more in 2007. There is no free software movement. If someone says Linux is about Love, Peace and Harmony, I would tell them to do their research. There is no free software movement any more. There is big commercial [firms] like IBM and there is small commercial [firms] like Ubuntu," he said. [01:47] The former IBM employee said that IBM's work on Linux is aimed at creating more reliable storage solutions and a more reliable mainframe. [01:47] "People ask me, why are you doing this? Why did you do the Novell deal? Why aren't you doing Office on Linux? The summary is quite simple. Growth of the ecosystem equals growth of the [Windows] platform," he said. [01:48] Hilf said that the Linux phenomenon had nothing to do with Linux, but rather it had a lot to do with Apache, MySQL and PHP. It was those applications which pulled Linux up with it, the "Visual Basic of open source." [01:48] Hilf described Microsoft's interest in open source as a business interest, without altruistic community love or with marketin [01:48] oops ... sorry about the flood ... === RichEd apologises ... was supposed to be 2 lines [01:51] too bad I don't feel the same way as Bill Hilf [01:52] ^^ [01:54] the logic leap is absurd ... working for a salary for company producing open source software does not mean that the s/w costs the end user money === Kamping_Kaiser notices his edubuntu iso downloads failed for the 3 days he was out - *sigh* [01:55] RichEd, he could have been refereing to 'Free software', rather the Open Source, and bluring the lines to cause pain [01:55] ==== edubuntu meeting in #ubuntu-meeting === 5 mins [01:55] so the software can still be free ... [01:56] people who work at univrsities get paid ... but some write software [01:56] and give the s/w away [01:56] the point is that there is no logic connection at all [01:56] right [01:56] *i'm* aware of that. but causing confusion in the minds of peopel is what MS do a fair bit of [01:56] he doesn't understand it at all === Kamping_Kaiser just sat through 2 days of such stuff [01:57] you have free software, and paid for software ... the employee or no-employee is just a tangential sh!tstir [01:58] RichEd, btw, got a link for that paste? [01:58] jsgotangco, be sure he *does* understand it ... what he says is on purpose [01:59] that too [01:59] its marketing babbling [01:59] ah well shame on him being part of the open source labs anyways [01:59] (of MS that is, if it actually exists) [01:59] yeah [01:59] Kamping_Kaiser: http://www.bangkokpost.com/090507_Database/09May2007_data05.php [01:59] jsgotangco, i'd be confident it exists. they need to look for patents somewhere ;) [01:59] RichEd, thanks [02:00] ogra: so you actually are a classmate PC user now?

It appears I'm about to expire from the edubuntu-bugsquad [08:49] LaserJock, heya [08:50] mcsd, if you can provide a good justification for that many CD's then it will be considered by ShipIt [08:50] we normally ship half of that to the LoCo teams [08:50] where are you based? [08:57] LaserJock, how was the wedding? === alfred_ [n=alfred@ip-159.250.65.134.dsl.crocker.net] has joined #edubuntu [08:58] can anyone help me figure out local devices on a new install of edubuntu LTSP feisty [08:58] willvdl: good, hot and long, but good === willvdl pictures moquist saying "hawt!" [08:59] hahaha === tristan_ [n=tristan@cc1201922-a.emmen1.dr.home.nl] has joined #edubuntu [09:06] can someone help me here with a simple question? === creadorcreativo [n=insane@201-220-127-219.bk10-dsl.surnet.cl] has joined #edubuntu [09:07] in the past i ran debian with 2 monitors+1 keyboards/mouses on one pc and now I want something like that as a thinclient using edubuntu [09:08] so actually it are 2 clients [09:08] is something like that possible out of the box? [09:08] sounds like a job for edubuntu thin clients! [09:09] yes, but a setup like this is not very common i guess? [09:09] using one pc for two thin clients? [09:10] maybe I should give it a try and ask questions when i've atleast tried it ;) [09:10] well, you can work off the server [09:10] and set the other one up as thin client [09:11] LaserJock, can you read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdubuntuApplicationReview (short) and tell me if it makes sense yet? === n2diy [n=darryl@ppp-42d42966.wlks.losch.net] has joined #edubuntu [09:13] willvdl: what do you think.. I have 2 pc's capable to run ubuntu or edubuntu and one rente pc which is capable to do anything [09:13] is it worth it to setup thinclients? [09:13] or should I install them standalone? [09:13] *rente=recent [09:14] it's for a "give-away-store" in the netherlands with free internet fascilities [09:14] depends on what you want to do with them but you could setup up the 2 older ones to serve off your recent PC. How much RAM has it got? Nics etc? [09:15] this pc has only 512MB, but it's enough for what I do [09:15] the nics are just 3com 100mbit nics [09:15] but that should be fine [09:16] i just have to handle 2 clients atm and maybe expand it in the future [09:16] if you have the time, give it a go. could prove useful [09:17] i have to pull some wires then [09:17] but that's no problem [09:17] I will do it next week [09:18] cool. good luck. jsut check the minimum RAM requirements. can't remember what they are :) [09:18] willvdl: well, it looks fine, although it seems like our spec got neutered [09:18] LaserJock, not neutered, just scoped [09:18] I readed a review which was talking about a minimum of 512MB [09:18] for the server [09:19] willvdl: well, is there a spec for the Ubuntu Education Community part? [09:19] should work I guess, since my other PC's did work with 128MB too [09:19] LaserJock, not yet, but we'll need one. specifically leaving this spec open ended for that purpose [09:20] I'm not sure why it needs to have a separate spec though [09:20] it's all one spec, IMO [09:21] it's specced according to scope :) [09:21] scope can grow [09:21] well, it's not very likely to get approved if it's a "this is a spec that depends on a non-existant spec" spec [09:21] what's on the classroom server add-on CD? [09:22] most of the educational software [09:22] tristan_, additional educational apps [09:22] we're working on providing a list [09:22] ok :) [09:23] I'm downloading the iso now btw [09:23] sorry for my stupid questions btw [09:23] not stupid at all [09:24] well, there was a time a compiled programm's and was checking dependencies :P [09:24] ubuntu made me lazy [09:25] ubuntu freed you to do useful stuff :) [09:25] no [09:25] it made me lazy ;) === bluekuja [n=andy@ubuntu/member/bluekuja] has joined #edubuntu [09:27] btw.. does Canonical ship edubuntu CD's? [09:27] yes [09:27] why didn't I notice that in the past [09:28] :\ [09:28] it makes more sense to give those CD's away to familys with kids [09:28] do they have edubuntu stickers at canonical too? [09:28] for on my window? [09:30] I think they only have Ubuntu ones [09:30] but I'm not positive [09:31] only seen ubuntu ones [09:31] might be some on diy site [09:33] check with #ubuntu-marketing [09:34] how is the translation of edubuntu into dutch? [09:35] urk, asking some fine questions :) [09:35] need to check on Launchpad for that one :) [09:36] tristan_: it should be quite good === HedgeMag1 is now known as HedgeMage [09:38] ok [09:39] :) [09:41] ooooh https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-drupal-theme/ [09:45] tristan_, https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/feisty/+lang/nl [09:45] remember edubuntu is based on ubuntu [09:45] i know [09:55] it r0x with all those suggestions with translations from other packages [09:58] some of those translations sucks though [10:04] hmmz.. my english sux.. I think `dodge' should be translated as `neerslaan' [10:04] but I'm not sure [10:06] can somebody help me? [10:06] to reveil it's context [10:06] so I'm sure of the translation? [10:07] could it be used like "the riotpolice dodged the riot"? [10:07] or doesn't it make sense? [10:08] what package? [10:08] it think the last one [10:08] I'm not sure [10:08] if it's gimp, then I presume dodge as in "dodge and burn" [10:08] kubuntu-docs [10:08] :P [10:08] it says "dodge your enemies" [10:09] avoid your enemies then [10:09] vermy in Afrikaans [10:09] aah [10:09] ontwijken :) [10:09] like a pacifist [10:10] thanks [10:11] wtf am I translating kubuntu docs :\ [10:11] I don't like KDE [10:12] wtf [10:12] ohw.. I see.. it's casue of those fancy red indicationbar [10:12] those=that [10:13] my english sux [10:16] you mean "sucks"? [10:16] :) [10:16] I don't have a ks key on my keyboard [10:16] :P [10:17] ubuntu made me lazy, remember? ;) [10:18] if that's so then how did you jsut type "ks"?
