[09:40] and the second bug he cites is marked as fixed :) [09:44] or maybe it's just one of those ideas that sounds a bit odd when you hear it but might work.

[11:12] nixternal: haha [11:12] nixternal: hopefully I can get over there sometime [11:13] elearning, vocational training, education [11:13] we will all pitch in 1 beer...that should be enough to have to toasted for the year [11:13] or pissed for the year :) [11:14] speaking of education willvdl, I am currently working on a "Intro to Linux (distros)" for our local university [11:14] really? cool. what kind of info you putting in? [11:14] we are going to take the top 3 and run the students through an 8 week course teaching them how Linux is a viable replacement for Windows [11:14] first week will cover installs (6 to 8 hours). and go on from there [11:15] Ubuntu, openSUSE, and Fedora look to be the big 3 we go over [11:15] that's a really good idea [11:15] it was a pita, and one board removal to get someone to go "OK lets see this" [11:16] you making courseware? [11:16] we will start the coursware once the outline is complete and approved [11:16] ^^ is the most crupting thing I've heard all day :) [11:16] cryptic rather [11:16] and...it will be GPLd (version 3) [11:16] okay i leave .... bye to everybody [11:17] bye dasoriginal, have a good one [11:17] dasoriginal, ciao and welcome [11:17] willvdl: they booted me from a board meeting because I got upset with their definition of "teaching students creativity" === dasoriginal [n=martin@p57B9D5F5.dip.t-dialin.net] has left #ubuntu-doc [] [11:17] how upset? :) [11:17] I told them they are blocking their creativity by forcing them to use proprietary applications at school, in which they can't afford for home [11:18] and provided them with viable solutions..and then they did the "well we can't support it" [11:18] sigh [11:18] i.e. the linux distros...so I snapped and said you teach students year round how to do support, why can't they do it [11:18] a common theme [11:19] reason for booting is I called the board a collection of idiots with a common goal, money in their pockets [11:19] I believe the term is a "thicket of idiots" [11:19] so I posted flyers in the school...at that point they said I might be on to something [11:19] thicket would have gone over these idiots heads though :D [11:20] flyers in the school about what? about linux, or about the board being dumb? [11:20] I was a t a conf recently [11:20] where there was an OSS and OER track [11:20] linux and how the board was tampering with their creativity and educational rights [11:20] the MC got ahead of himself and decided to leave a closing remark [11:21] *drum roll* [11:21] saying,"well I wouldn't put linux in my aeroplane" [11:21] d'oh [11:21] I almost wanted to tell him about Mir [11:21] hehe [11:21] United Airlines uses nothing but a UNIX based system for their aircraft with the help of Unisys [11:21] but should rather have bitched slapped him for stepping ove rhis professional bounds of leading a panel debate [11:22] and their entire infrastructure is now Linux I believe..it used to be SCO when I worked there on a contract for Y2K [11:22] I think MadPilot would know best on the type of embedded systems they use though [11:22] the aircontrol systems here are linux based [11:23] O'Hare uses Sun Microsystems for everything [11:23] all of their dummy terminals connect to an Enterprise 10k, well they did about 5+ years ago [11:24] man, I love these Geico insurance commercials with the cavemen...I laugh everytime [11:24] I love the outpost.com one with the hamster [11:24] and them wanting to tattoo the children's foreheads [11:25] hahaha yes [11:25] outpost.com has some great commercials...I think I see them on the BBC the most..that and G4 media [11:26] gotto nip out. I'm curious about your course though. specifically the fact that you want to include 3 distros [11:26] bbl [11:26] later, gotta get ready for school myself === poningru [n=poningru@adsl-074-245-140-197.sip.gnv.bellsouth.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc === Admiral_Chicago_ [n=freddy@adsl-69-209-68-46.dsl.chcgil.ameritech.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc
