willvdlvagrantc, alright10:05
LaserJockis that going to be made available somewhere at some point?10:05
pips1ogra-classmate: how about the wireless interface on the classmate?10:06
ogra-classmateit will still need some tweakage and i need to package the classmate-initramfs changes as well as classmate-artwork and -settings stuff10:06
ogra-classmatewe got a new driver today, i think BenC is on it10:06
willvdlogra-classmate, how do things look with their "custom" software for teacher student management?10:06
pips1vagrantc: you here? or is that just your screen session? ;-)10:06
ogra-classmatethe squashfs setup i have currently leaves about 1gig freespace for the user data10:07
LaserJockthis is on a 2GB drive?10:07
ogra-classmateand about 300 for additional software you can install10:07
ogra-classmateyes, thats the 2gig fklashdrive10:07
vagrantcpips1: oh, i'm here alright10:07
pips1:-)10:08
LaserJockhi vagrantc10:08
=== vagrantc waves
ogra-classmatethe image runs at a reasonable speed and should be good for an initial edubuntu-classmate 1.0 version10:08
ogra-classmateindeed all will be better if i can work from ground up on a classmate os (i.e. gutsy)10:09
LaserJockso are you working on a seperate os?10:09
ogra-classmatewell, its based on edubuntu, but needs some tweaks for the classmate10:10
LaserJockso a respun Edubuntu squashfs image?10:10
pips1ogra-classmate: wow, is that commissioned work?!10:10
ogra-classmatetaking such tweaks and low memory usahge into account from trhe beginning of a release cycle will gain better results10:10
LaserJockyeah10:10
ogra-classmateright, its a classmate-ified edubuntu live10:11
ogra-classmateanyway, enough classmate for now10:11
willvdlclassmate-ified edubuntu live (TM)10:11
LaserJockogra-classmate: I put in a request to Justin to get one as I'd like to also help with some of the images10:11
ogra-classmateas you all can see i committing less time to ltsp10:11
ogra-classmatethat has a reason ....10:11
ogra-classmatewe will soon have a new employee taking care of most of the ltsp world ... i will still work on it but he will do the major stuff i guess :)10:12
ogra-classmateso people, meet vagrantc (if you havent already)10:12
willvdlwhen's it official?10:12
LaserJockoh, wow10:13
ogra-classmatewillvdl: if paper was signed10:13
=== vagrantc is having trouble with paper
willvdlvagrantc, and dirty bathwater?10:13
ogra-classmatebut there is a mouth-agreement on both sides10:13
willvdlsweet10:13
=== vagrantc is a little slow on the draw
ogra-classmateso meet vagrantc inofficially :P10:13
=== pips1 cheers for vagrantc
willvdlvagrantc, ++10:14
ogra-classmatevagrantc, took over the awful work of merging the ltsp branches10:14
ogra-classmatethat deserves a huge applause10:14
LaserJockwelcome vagrantc10:14
vagrantcthanks folks :)10:15
ogra-classmatebeyond that i wouldnt knoew any actual tech news ....10:16
ogra-classmatehmm10:16
ogra-classmateLaserJock started some bugsquashing and merges :)10:16
LaserJockoh, the roadmap10:16
willvdlyeah10:16
LaserJockcan you throw out the URL willvdl10:17
LaserJockI don't have it one me10:17
willvdlhttps://wiki.edubuntu.org/Edubuntu/Devel/RoadMap10:17
willvdlcentral place for planning (current) tech, infrastructure, community, doc work10:17
LaserJockso I just wanted a place were people and devs could see what's going on for the current release10:18
willvdlwill be "running" commentary, i.e. not tagged per release etc.10:18
willvdlI'm going to work on it intensively after my conference10:18
ogra-classmatenote that the specs neeed to get approval first10:18
ogra-classmateil need to got through them with RichEd during this week10:19
yuriyshould wiki.ubuntu.com/EdubuntuKDE be added to the roadmap?10:19
willvdlogra-classmate, yeah, there's some other specs that I want to look at merging etc. as well10:19
yuriy(hello)10:19
ogra-classmateyuriy: as i understood riddel he wanted to make that metapackage10:19
ogra-classmatein the kubuntu seeds10:20
willvdlyuriy, I saw Riddell was active on it over past few days10:20
ogra-classmateRiddell: around ?10:20
=== AlexLatchford [n=alex@82-44-193-109.cable.ubr07.haye.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
ogra-classmatehmm, the spec doesnt define clearly where the work is done10:21
ogra-classmateit only says an edubuntu-kde seed will be created10:21
yuriywhere meaning by whom?10:22
ogra-classmatecan we have a 'related projects' section ? and add it there for now10:23
ogra-classmateyuriy: yep10:23
yuriyogra-classmate: afaiu it's in looking for volunteers status10:24
ogra-classmatenobody in the edubuntu team has much clue about kde apps .... it would be favourable if Riddell could maintain the basic seed10:24
willvdlogra-classmate, sure. LP does track it but a mention on the wiki rpoadmap is good too10:24
yuriyi wanted to work on the thin-client-manager, so i've been waiting for silentk to come on.  i guess i'll email him.10:24
nixternalhello!10:25
ogra-classmatei'm fine with having it in the edubuntu seed branch, but it should be maitained by some kde knowledgeable person10:25
nixternalfinally, a meeting I can attend10:25

nixternalogra-classmate: I have some experience with KDE apps...seeing as I use nothing but KDE10:25
LaserJockyeah, nixternal would be good to get in on this10:26
ogra-classmatei'm also fine with anyone suggested by Riddell, but i want it run through him so kubuntu keeps the control here10:26
LaserJockyeah10:26
nixternalI am helping Debian as well with KDE apps now as a part of the KDE-Extras team10:26
LaserJockanyway10:27
ogra-classmateright10:27
ogra-classmateplease add it under related projects10:27
LaserJockwe should put that spec in a "Related Projects" category and let Riddell, yuriy, nixternal take care of it ;-)10:27
ogra-classmateso we have it on the radar10:27
ogra-classmateright10:27
willvdlshall we move to DOCS?10:28
ogra-classmateso any tech related questions ?10:28
LaserJockwell, I made some progess with edubuntu-addon-enhancements10:28
willvdlsorry LaserJock10:28
ogra-classmatecool10:28
LaserJockI'll have the spec done today10:28
ogra-classmatewow, nice10:28
LaserJockwell, not the spec all the way implemented10:29
LaserJockbut drafted, ready for review/approval10:29
LaserJockbut I wanted to test stuff out first10:29
willvdlcool10:29
ogra-classmategood10:29
LaserJockand I was able to make the sidebar do whatever I like10:29
LaserJockin gnome-app-install10:29
ogra-classmatecool10:29
LaserJockso I can create a new menu just for the addon cd10:30
ogra-classmatemvo writes good software ;)10:30
=== willvdl hopes to bend a minibar to his will
LaserJockand as long as we do the .desktops right it'll be easy10:30
=== mvo hugs ogra-classmate
ogra-classmate?me hugs mvo10:30
ogra-classmateheh10:30
LaserJockthe other part of the spec is just making meta-packages to pull in the young, primary, secondary apps/themes10:31
LaserJockI have a variety of meta-packages I'd like to make for Main and Universe10:31
ogra-classmatewell, our artwork package supports preseeding for the theme selection10:31
willvdlogra-classmate, meaning it becomes easier for derivitives?10:32
ogra-classmate(at least it did in dapper, i didnt test it since ... urgh)10:32
ogra-classmatewillvdl: meaning i have a variable i can set to default,young or plain10:33
willvdlon install?10:33
ogra-classmatewhich then makes the package use the rrespective default theme10:33
ogra-classmateon install or through dpkg-reconfigure edubuntu-artwork10:33
willvdlgotcha, thanks10:33
LaserJockideally I'd like to be able to pop in the addon cd10:34
ogra-classmatei'm not sure something like preseeding is possible via .dewsktop files though10:34
LaserJockand select Edubuntu Young in g-a-i10:34
willvdlnice10:34
LaserJockand it'd install the edubuntu-addon-young package10:34
LaserJockand perhaps the postinst could set the theme to young10:35
ogra-classmatebut if it would, you would just have to install the package three times with three different preseed values and different icons for the .desktop10:35
LaserJockis that plausible ogra-classmate ?10:35
ogra-classmateindeed it is10:35
ogra-classmatebut note that you can only set the system default10:35
LaserJockthat's fine I think10:36
ogra-classmateusers that have change d the theme manually wont see the change10:36
LaserJockI don't want to go mucking around with user's stuff10:36
ogra-classmateyeah, its fine, i just wanted to point that fact out10:36
LaserJockI just want to make it so that if you're setting up an Edubuntu machine from scratch it's easy to set the system default theme10:36
LaserJockas you are getting the appropriate apps installed too10:37
willvdlbesides, kids don't grow _that_ quickly10:37
LaserJockok, I think I'm done there except for one question10:37
ogra-classmateyep10:37
ogra-classmatewillvdl: well, not to fast for an ubuntu non-LTS lifecycle10:37
LaserJockshould/could we do a metapackage/task to install the set of apps that was on edgy/dapper?10:38
ogra-classmateyes we should10:38
LaserJockI've seen a number of people in #edubuntu go "Where's the apps that were on Edubunt in {Dapper,Edgy}?"10:38
willvdlLaserJock, aren't they all in AddOn?10:38
LaserJockyes, but you can't just install something that puts them back the way they were10:38
ogra-classmatei want to talk with cjwatson about the livecd situation first and see if that will need any changes or new seeds first10:38
LaserJockis a meta-package a bad idea here10:39
ogra-classmateafter that i'll be able to make a judgement about how we'll do it10:39
LaserJockI'm quickly seeing where we could end up with a lot of metapackages :/10:39
willvdlmaybe with one meta-package to Rule Them All10:39
ogra-classmatei dont think its a bad idea but we'll probably have to introduce one anyway10:40
LaserJockI'll have to make a wiki page with a list of  metapackages I'd like to introduce10:40
willvdlg-a-i -> Install Everything10:40
ogra-classmateso i'd like to have the time to check the livecd thing first10:40
LaserJockso we can debate them10:40
LaserJockogra-classmate: ok, yeah, that makes sense10:40
willvdlLaserJock, thinking we could even (in future) track meta-packages in the AppReviewEngine10:41
LaserJockwillvdl: of course ;-)10:41
willvdlhmmm, might be difficult with dependencies that aren't traditional apps10:41
willvdlshall we move one?10:42
LaserJockyep10:42
willvdlDOCS10:42
ogra-classmatei'm fine10:42
willvdlI've come across a fair amount of documentation lately10:43
willvdlthat I need to read still and sift through10:43
willvdlbeen swamped with other pressing tasks though, however...10:43
willvdlwe decided in UDS to set up a wiki space for edubuntu doc collaborations again and I have some ideas10:44
willvdlanyone got suggestions on how to tap valuable information that is getting answered on the ML?10:45
nixternalwillvdl: I use strigi and search for anything ending with \?10:45
nixternalI typically scour the *-users lists and grab all of the questions, break them down in a file...and put the most common answers in there10:46
willvdlinto the help.u.c/userdocs?10:46
nixternalwell I have only been compiling them locally here10:47
willvdlcool. was toying with the idea of an FAQ...but...10:47
nixternalwould be nice if we could setup some type of form for people to ask questions that would format the email automagically with QUESTION:10:47
nixternalwell, an FAQ is great to create in order to build your documentation or the content you plan on inserting into your documentation10:48
willvdlwell, often one has to delve into the situation to find the solution10:48
willvdlnixternal, mind you, Launchpad has that...answers.lp.net?10:48
nixternalwillvdl: hopefully that will be taken care of with the topic based help10:48
nixternalyes, answers as well10:48
nixternalbut I have found a majority of the questions on answers are either not doc worthy, or have been covered a hundred or so times elsewhere10:49
willvdlwell, TBH would kinda do it, but not at first.10:49
willvdlor are actually bug fixes :)10:49
nixternallol, ya10:49
willvdlwell, what do you think of an FAQ style wiki space? that can be tapped for info10:50
nixternalI have a year and a half worth of *-users..which is nice10:50
nixternalI thought there was an FAQ somewhere already10:50
willvdlon the www but not maintained. focus moved to Handbook10:50
nixternalTBH would curb the FAQ feeling as well, as you can list on your main page (Yelp for Edubuntu) a rotating session of FAQs if needbe as well...rotating would take some hacking of course10:51
willvdlI'm thinking of FAQ style on help.u.com/community just to capture info10:51
willvdlTBH is always going to take some serious thought and planning10:51
nixternaltake it to the forums...I think moer people tap the forums for info than they do the wikis10:51
nixternalalso, a lot of our users don't edit the wiki, or don't know how to edit the wiki. or don't even have an LP account10:52
willvdlhmmm, true but if it's in the wiki then it's easier to compile into TBH10:52
willvdlis also easier for guys on the ML to point to answers10:52
nixternaldoesn't matter where it is really, as to put it into system docs, we would have to manually code the xml anyways...moin2docbook doesn't work...nothing wiki2docbook really works10:53
willvdlyeah, still need to write up chats at UDS but we came to that conclusion10:53
pips1I think drupal does docbook export, but I haven't tested it10:53
nixternalit isn't pretty10:53
nixternaltruthfully, it is easier to take plain text and manually add the tags...plus everyone who uses DocBook/XML does so with various standards10:54
nixternalthe *2docbook typically use generic <book> and <chapter> tags, when we don't use that with topic based help10:55
willvdlwhich is why we thought wiki and then a manual scrape of info into xml at set times10:55
LaserJockthe moint2docbook stuff I've done seemed to work ok10:55
nixternalalso, they seem to use <section> instead of <sec*> where * = 1-510:55
LaserJockI had to do some cleanup but it wasn't bad10:55
nixternalwhich one did you use?10:55
willvdlgiven that we don't have that much contrib compared to ubuntu10:55
LaserJocknixternal: the one that comes with the newer versions of moin10:56
nixternalplus we don't have moin2docbook, and the current wait to get anything implemented into our wiki is....well you would ahve a better chance of bill gates demolishing MS and becoming a FSF member10:56
LaserJockbah, it's not *that* bad10:56
LaserJockI just set up a local desktop moin10:56
LaserJockgrabed what was on wiki.u.c10:56
nixternalLaserJock: I remember tryin to use for the TBH stuff...to the point the moinmoin people told me to take it elsewhere ;)10:56
LaserJockand did an export10:56
nixternalorly10:57
nixternalI haven't messed with desktop moin in a while...I am guessng it is time...seeing as I have been working on a tomboy port to qt410:57
LaserJockanyway, that's probably beyond this meeting10:57
nixternalwell then..it may not be a bad idea10:57
willvdlwell, just watching the time.. we can keep this alive on ML but just wanted to point out that we are hoping to keep handbook in XML with wiki contribs (possibly in FAQ style) and want to generate user stories of typical edubuntu configurations10:57
nixternalwillvdl: we can fancy up someting I am sure10:58
nixternalOK, I am ready to give my intro to become a member10:58
=== nixternal hides
nixternal;)10:58
willvdl:)10:58
willvdlanyway, I'll post some info somewhere. probably on new roadmap pages or docteam pages10:59
nixternalOK willvdl, if you need any help let me know11:00
nixternalin between losing hair trying to do dev stuff, I need to do some documentation..it is the only thing that keeps me sane11:00
willvdlnixternal, we'll need some help with TBH. Not too sure how to write Edubuntu specific topics on top of ubuntu11:00
willvdlline is not always that clear11:00
nixternalya, I am sure we can make LaserJock do it :)11:01
willvdlawesome11:01
=== ogra-classmate wonders hairless == insane ?
nixternalyes11:01
willvdlogra-classmate, I thought hairy palms was insane11:01
ogra-classmateheh11:01
nixternalahhahaa11:01
nixternalhairy palms is far from insane..just another word for "busy"11:01
willvdlQuick word on websites... newz2000 will be helping with the new drupal template (saw the mail from highvoltage)11:02
willvdlpips1, any thoughts?11:03
pips1oops, sorry, I was distracted11:03
nixternallet him know if he needs drupal help to give me a call...although i think he already knows I am avail to help him11:03

pips1willvdl: I also saw highvoltage's email11:05
willvdlyeah, they hope to have something up by next week11:05
pips1seems like he's happy to do the theme tweaking for edubuntu.org...11:05
willvdlwhich will be great!11:05
pips1yep11:06
willvdlArtwork folks! some nice banners for the website? MAybe revolving pics like one of the locos...11:06
willvdlit's going ot be great11:06
pips1now, about the community site: I need some meaty content from the summit!11:06
willvdlnixternal, you did the chi.ubuntu loco page?11:06
nixternalyes11:07
willvdlnice example of maintaining consistency11:07
willvdlinspired us to do same (and kubuntu I think)11:07
pips1willvdl: what do you think: I would like to get the people who attended the education summit, to be our contributers to the beta site...11:08
pips1david has already posted a second blog post, but we need more participants !11:08
nixternalthat theme was a bare to recreate though to mimic11:08
pips1I'm also glad that the ICT school coordinator has joined...11:08
willvdlpips1, I think we need to actually put some info up somewhere to tell people what it is...11:08
willvdlpips1, maybe use some nice blogrolls from similar sites?11:09
pips1willvdl: well, let's get some quality content on the site, and *then* announce the site somewhere11:09
willvdlperhaps an aggregater would fill info in in no time11:09
pips1willvdl: do you know if RichEd has received slides from the talks? that would be greast content to have...11:10
LaserJockpips1: I think you just  need to advertise and clearly explain the purpose and what you want11:10
willvdlwould still be good to have a planning page so that people know what to contrib11:10
LaserJockI have an account on there (I think) but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing with it11:10
pips1LaserJock: i see11:10
pips1ok, I'll do a "what to contribute" page11:11
willvdlshweet11:11
willvdlfolks are a bit confused between the beta site and the www.e.org site11:11
pips1since I'm travelling so much, I didn't even have time to upload my own images of the presentations, and I wanted to write some summaries of the presentations, about the spanish derivitives, about classmate, etc.11:12
willvdlsame here11:12
pips1yeah11:12
willvdlwhile we're on the subject: the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdubuntuApplicationReview spec is coming along11:13
willvdlanyone got thoughts on "how" we shoud do it?11:13
willvdli.e. drupal module vs. mysql with python cgi11:13
LaserJockwell, now that ogra-classmate free ... ;-)11:14
LaserJock*is free11:14
pips1think about it this way: everything that would go onto 'ubuntu.com' should go on 'edubuntu.com', everything that is community-driven (i.e. discussions / q&a ) should go on the new beta site...11:14
willvdlpips1, saw that mail from Jim Hutchinson...perhaps OSS lesson plans etc could go there?11:15
ogra-classmateLaserJock: i am ?11:15
LaserJockpips1: hmm, I'm a little unclear on that11:15
LaserJockogra-classmate: hehe11:15
=== ogra-classmate didnt know
ogra-classmate:)11:15
ogra-classmatethe spec looks really good to me11:16
willvdledubuntu.org stuff *is* our community11:16
pips1so the beta site could be an easily accessible site for educators, integrating everything education-relevant that in the "normal" ubuntu universe is spread out over "planet.u.c", ubuntuforums, etc.11:16
LaserJockpips1: it would seem to me that edubuntu.org would have everything that is edubuntu-specific and the beta site would be for stuff that's more education-specific11:16
=== robitaille [n=daniel@ubuntu/member/robitaille] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
willvdlogra-classmate, I got tied up in the details, ask LaserJock :) but I jsut need to plan a timed release scope11:16
ogra-classmatewillvdl: i think our server admins would be happier to only main tain one DB11:17
ogra-classmatethat would be postgresql11:17
willvdlogra-classmate, drupal uses mysql already11:17
ogra-classmateoh,ok11:17
willvdlor postgresql, don't care11:17
ogra-classmateignore me then :)11:17
willvdlogra-classmate, it is a very valid concern...11:17
pips1LaserJock: yes, well spotted.11:18
willvdlyou're right that we need to choose a DB that can easily be moved if need be11:18
ogra-classmatewillvdl: only for the person writing the app :)11:18
pips1Laserjock: but the idea is that the beta site will be a "brainstorming" pool for anything related to education, open source and open content... and anything that crops up that is highly relevant / specific to edubuntu, we (manually) copy over to edubuntu.org. Makes sense?11:19
willvdlogra-classmate, will chat quick afterwards about it if OK11:19
ogra-classmatesure11:19
willvdlpips1, as long as edubuntu and edubuntu education stuff is clearly in our space, we don't want to dilute our community11:21
pips1LaserJock: think of it as edubuntu.org = consolidated information. beta = very dynamic information...?11:21
=== AlexLatchford [n=alex@82-44-193-109.cable.ubr07.haye.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
LaserJockpips1: but what happens to dynamic information that is edubuntu-specific?11:22
LaserJockis it expected to be on the beta site?11:22
pips1well, yes, at least now, that we want to get the dynamic beta site going!11:22
LaserJockso people will have to go to 2 different site to get info on Edubuntu?11:23
willvdllike app selection? I know Richard wants it on the "beta" site and can see the logic, but I'm not sure if we can logically do it11:23
pips1willvdl: noted11:23
willvdlsorry, don't want to sound like a rant :) just think we should make the whole philosophy very clear somewhere11:23
LaserJockedubuntu.org vs ubuntueducation.com doesn't really indicate that there is a difference in consolidation, only difference in topic11:24
pips1LaserJock: well, yes, we will reference both sites from each other...11:24
LaserJockhehe, good luck with that ;-)11:24
pips1LaserJock: expand11:25
LaserJockyou're doing twice as much work11:25
LaserJockit will soon become outdated11:25
LaserJockunless you really keep track of it11:25
LaserJockwhich we don't exactly have a great track-record of as a community (*buntu in general)11:25
pips1LaserJock: well, I intend to focus on the community (site)... the "product" (site) needs some cleaning up (theme + content tagged for "dapper" and "latest"), but it won't be the focus of the activity...11:27
willvdloh, pips1: I'm going to www.elearning-africa.com next week and will be sure to collect as much info/links as possible11:27
LaserJockpips1: but Edubuntu isn't just a product, you have to remember that11:28
pips1LaserJock: noted11:28
pips1keep reminding me though :-)11:28
LaserJockof course ;-)11:28
pips1so, to wrap things up for now.11:29
LaserJockjust let us know what the plans for the beta site are and what you want us to do with it11:29
pips1highvoltage: will modify matt's theme for edubuntu.org11:29
willvdlsweet11:29
pips1I will blog about the education summit on the beta site11:30
pips1plus add that podcast from the school visit...11:31
ogra-classmatewhat about all the podcasts and the movies highvoltage made ?11:31
willvdlpips1, let's consider something with blogrolls/aggregators... could work out well11:31
ogra-classmateah :)11:31
willvdlogra-classmate, we should post on ubuntu-videos11:31
pips1sure, I'm up for aggregating blog11:31
ogra-classmateah, right11:31
willvdlpaul sladen is still editing the UDS vids11:31
ogra-classmatedamned and i missed my interview with him11:32
willvdlwe can do it online. we have the internet :)11:32
pips1paul sladen is in austria and did a surprise visit in switzerland last monday :-)11:32
pips1he crashed a my place before catching the first train from zurich yesterday morning.11:33
willvdlOh, and from a community/web/tech angle: I've got a cunning plan for Byte-Sized Tasks11:33
willvdlpips1, he' s an interesting dude11:33
pips1heh11:33
LaserJockoh? do tell11:33
pips1yep11:33
LaserJockabout bite-size11:33
LaserJockI know about sladen ;-)11:33
ogra-classmateheh11:34
willvdlLaserJock, got some ideas on categorising them and a nested submission queue which *should* work on a wiki11:34
willvdlmaybe a byte-sized-task-engine for gutsy(+)11:34
willvdl:)11:35
willvdlbut I have no time next week, so I hope to have a cunning plan described by Friday11:35
pips1willvdl: question: do you know if matt's drupal theme works for drupal 5.1? or is it a 4.7 theme?11:36
willvdlI'm not sure. nixternal? ^^^11:36
willvdlI think 4.7 but might not be a "train-smash" to port11:36
nixternal5.111:36
willvdlah11:37
nixternali.e. => http://chi.ubuntu-us.org11:37
pips1I don't mind that highvoltage is doing the theme modification - highvoltage is really good that that - but I would really like to scratch the drupal 4.7 install that is currently running edubuntu.org, and do a clean and proper re-install of drupal 5.1... there isn't much content to migrate, but we would benefit from a proper install...11:38
willvdlsomebody made a Matt Nuzum theme site with revolving pics... looked good11:38
willvdlpips1 ++11:38
nixternalI am working on a revolving pics header now11:38
willvdlwe need an overhaul11:38
ogra-classmatenixternal: nice !11:38
nixternalthanks11:38
LaserJockdrupal 5.1 is really nice11:39
willvdlfolks, there is a UDS spec out somewhere for this consistent theme idea...11:39
nixternaldefinitely much cleaner code I will admit11:39
pips1willvdl: yes, we really do. there is no https: set up, which is unsafe. also, I think the mail sending never worked, etc, etc.11:39
willvdlbummed if I can find it11:39
nixternalthey can enable the mail sending on the server...I had to get it done on the chi.ubuntu one11:39
pips1to cut it short: we need a fresh install, either matt doing it, or me doing it and documenting it cleanly for matt!11:39
willvdlpips1, was thinking more in terms of info and links11:39
pips1willvdl: well, we can clean up the content in the process, but the install is a bit botched if you ask me11:40
willvdlis it possible to do in bzr? under the edubuntu-website team or some project? that way we can track using usability bugs like they do with ubuntu.com11:40
nixternalyup..at least we do it with kubuntu-website11:41
LaserJockhow do you mean bzr?11:41
pips1sure, that would be even better (but then I'd need to dive into using bzr, phew) ;-)11:41
nixternaljust store it though, make the edits there, and then upload as needed to the website server11:41
nixternalor possibly setup a cron job on the webserver to pull from the bzr dir11:41
pips1nixternal: noted11:41
willvdldoesn't have to be bzr but at least hosted off a LP product with a team to catch bug assignments11:42
pips1nixternal: are talking about the theme only?11:42
nixternalpips1: you would have to..because sites/ wouldn't be good on bzr11:42
willvdlpips1, whole site11:42
willvdloh11:42
willvdl:)11:42
nixternalyes, sites/* holds the usernames, passwords, and db names11:43
nixternaldb username and password that is11:43
willvdlimagine the app-review-engine stored in postgresql... synced to bzr11:43
pips1nixternal: we could do sites/ if we use a separate directory path for the content files...11:43
nixternalalthough, you could still put the entire site up there, and only sync (using cron if possible) the themes or other subdirectories that you would change11:43
pips1^^ could do sites/ in bzr11:44
nixternaltrue11:44
willvdland encrypted sensitive stuff?11:44
pips1willvdl: huh?11:44
nixternalsites/ is the only thing that contains sensative stuff11:44
willvdlencrypt rather11:45
