willvdlLaserJock, 10pm10:01
ograsame here :)10:01
LaserJock1pm here10:01
LaserJocksilly people10:01
ograheh10:01
ogratodays meeting would have been a EC meeting10:01
ograwhatever that means nowadays ...10:02
LaserJockah, that reminds me10:02
LaserJockwell, we do have a fairly big pile of applicants10:02
=== pips1 waves
ograwell, nobody o the agenda10:02
ograi just looked10:02
LaserJockI approved stgraber the other day10:02
LaserJockwell, I'm not sure that people know they need to be added10:02
ograi wonder if the procedure is to unclear10:02
willvdlI'll look into it10:03
LaserJockwe can fix that on the team description10:03
willvdlif it isn't it probably is my fault :)10:03
ograThe Edubuntu council will review membership candidates at every first meeting in a month, please add yourself below and subscribe to [WWW]  https://launchpad.net/people/edubuntu-members. Note that the same membership rules as in Ubuntu apply.10:03
ografrom the agenda page ...10:03
willvdlwe should have it on the wiki10:03
LaserJockbut the EC *has* technically run out10:03
ograwith a bit adjustment it should fit for the team page10:03
pips1can we vote on including someone as a member in his/her absence?10:04
ograLaserJock. ?10:04
LaserJockyes, people us LP for teams these days, wiki pages don't necessarily get done10:04
LaserJockogra: the EC memberships where for 2 releases, which ended with Feisty's release10:04
LaserJock*were10:04
ograoh, we need to refresh then10:04
ograunless someone wants to step back10:04
LaserJockwell, I somehow feel like we should have some sort of procedure for this10:05
ograwell, we should keep such discussions for meetings where the full EC is around10:05
LaserJockyes, you're right10:05
ograi'd like to have highvoltage ad RichEd attending for such stuff10:05
LaserJocksure10:06
ograanyway, lets get started ...10:06
pips1I vote for Gavin MCullagh as edubuntu member, he rocks! :-)10:06
ograi'll try to keep tech as short as possible today, since i'm currently trying to get the liveCD fixed aside here10:06
ograpips1. right, but he needs to attend the meeting at least10:06
ograi'd happily approve him indeed10:07
ograi'll mail him about it10:07
pips1good idea10:07
ograok, anyway, the tribe1 CD is due tomorrow ...10:07

ograhttps://isotesting.stgraber.org/isotesting/iso/Edubuntu10:08
ograthe liveCD is still oversized and due to a bug in the build system it couldnt get fixed until now, i'm working on getting a properly sized iso done tonight though10:09
ograthe i386 CD should be fine for use and not be much different to gutsy10:09
ograplease test as you can ...10:09
ograltsp ...10:10
LaserJockare there any notes for what to test on the Desktop CDs?10:10
ograone of our biggest bootspeed issues, X detection will be dropped in the next upload10:10
LaserJockor is there no link because they aren't built yet10:10
ograLaserJock. live session and ubiquity for now10:10
ograits only the first milestone10:10
ograits fine if it roughly works10:10
LaserJockI can do most of i386 tonight I think10:11
willvdlogra, what does it mean to drop X detection?10:11
ograwillvdl. 20seconds fsater boots10:11
ogra*faster10:11
willvdlI mean what does X detect do :)10:11
LaserJockwillvdl: we were doing autodetection of X on the clients10:11
willvdlserver checking for X on the clients?10:11
LaserJockfor automatically setting up X on the clients10:11
ograxorg 7.3 and the new xrandr can detect the X setup at runtime now, so no xorg.conf is needed anymore10:12
LaserJockthe Xorg "magic"10:12
willvdlgotcha10:12
LaserJockso are we just not using autodetection?10:12
ograbefore we had a script that ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg on boot which was very time consuming10:12
willvdlgreat, cause xorg.conf is a mystery to me :)10:12
ograLaserJock. right10:12
LaserJockugg, dpkg-reconfigure on every boot?10:13
LaserJockthat's no fun10:13
ograi will leave the code in but add an option for lts.conf to force its usage, by default we'll use xorg's magic10:13
ograit makes the booting incredibly fast10:13
ograand worked on all clients i tried it on10:13
ogratwo issues are left with that though10:14
ografunny mouse setups ...10:14
ogra(27 button cybermice with 4 scrollwheels and vibrator)10:14
ograthey might be problematic t set up in the beginning ...10:15
ogranad keyboards ...10:15
ogra*and10:15
willvdlfour that cousin that looks like your brother?10:15
ograi'm not sure yet how to handle keyboard settings ... there are several options10:16
ograanyway, that will be a major change in tsp and a big step forward technically10:16
ogra*ltsp10:16
willvdla post config script perhaps?10:16
ograyes, indeed10:16
ograor simply running xmodmap after x startup10:17
ograthats about all i have to say about tech today ...10:18
ograi sent the priority list for specs to Keybuk, but he didnt assig the prios yet10:18
LaserJockI'm a little closer to core-dev10:18
ogradue to time costraints RichEd and i didnt have the opportunity to go through approving yet either10:19
LaserJockhopefully soonish I'll have a interview with the TB and they'll decide10:19
ograyeah, to bad that didnt happen yesterday10:19
LaserJockI'm working on categorization for the add-on CD10:19
LaserJockogra: I've got a tech question for you about that, what do we ship from XFCE4?10:20
LaserJockdo we ship a complete xfce4 on the add-on CD?10:20
ograits in the ship-addon seeds, let me look10:20
LaserJockhmm, from the seed it looks pretty complete10:21
LaserJockbut it's a bit hazy from the .desktops10:21
ograhttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24479/10:21
LaserJockbecause there are only .desktops for like the plugins10:22
ograa xfce-meta.desktop file ?10:22
ograor edubuntu-xfce10:22
LaserJockanyway, by looking at the current CD contents I came up with the following categories10:22
LaserJockogra: yeah, that's what I'm thinking we need10:23
ogragood, lets have it :)10:23
LaserJock * Young Children10:23
LaserJock * Graphics10:23
LaserJock * Science10:23
LaserJock * Extras10:23
LaserJock * KDE Edutainment10:23
LaserJock * XFCE410:23
ograi dont like XFCE410:23
LaserJockas a category or period? :-)10:24
ograhow bout something like * Light Desktop (xfce)10:24
LaserJockok sure10:24
ogranobody has an idea what XFCE might mean10:24
ograapart from us probably10:24
willvdlwhat does it mean? :)10:24
LaserJockso those categories are what would be in the g-a-i menu10:25
LaserJockany other suggestions?10:25
willvdlLaserJock, what about collaboration stuff? e.g. moodle, other cms's10:25
ogra* Games ?10:25
LaserJockwell, we don't have those yet10:25
LaserJockogra: well, I was thinking that the games would go in "Young Children"10:25
ograah10:26
LaserJockdo we have games for older people on there?10:26
ograright10:26
willvdlcould we pslit the kde-edu stuff into the categories? probably not, it's one package right?10:26
ograot yet10:26
ograbut its surely possible10:26
LaserJockwell, we can split them up10:26
LaserJockin the menu10:26
LaserJockbut at this point I wonder if people are more thinking "I'm looking for the KDE edu stuff"10:26
willvdlcause kde-edu has maths, science, language...10:26
LaserJocksure10:26
LaserJockwhat I was planning10:27
willvdlLaserJock, except those who have o idea what it is10:27
ograright10:27
LaserJockis if we get more apps for other categories we split it up10:27
LaserJockbut I don't want a category with one item I guess10:27
LaserJockor would that be fine?10:27
willvdlsounds right10:27
ograwell10:27
willvdlmakes sense.10:27
ograyep10:27
LaserJockwe have 53 .desktops right now10:28
LaserJock17 of them are xfce10:28
LaserJockroughly 15 KDEEdu10:28
LaserJockwell, the other thing is, what is the best way to get testing of this?10:29
LaserJockI could manually adjust the menus and desktops10:29
LaserJockand rebuild the .iso10:29
ograadd info how to test it to the testing procedures10:29
LaserJockbut I'm not sure if that's helpful for people to have to download the whole .iso to test10:29
ograoh, you mean during development10:29
LaserJockyes10:29
ograwell, you should rsync10:30
ograand we should work on the real iso10:30
ograit wont change much so the rsyncs will be very fast10:30
LaserJockwell, I guess I just need to bug cjwatson and figure out how that app-install directory gets on there10:30
LaserJockif it's fairly easy then I can make adjustments and we can see the results in the dailies10:31
ograright10:31
LaserJockalright, I think that's enough from me10:31
ograat least if mvo cant help10:31
LaserJockI asked mvo and pitti already10:31
ograi always thoght app-install-data was responsible10:32
LaserJockwell, my question is how it actually ends up on the .iso10:32
LaserJockperhaps I'm not clearly stating my question10:32
LaserJockI don't think I have access to the build scripts that do that part10:33
ograhmm10:33
LaserJockI looked through ubuntu-cdimage and couldn't find anything10:34
ograright10:34
LaserJockI mean, the app-install directory is like what app-install-data provides10:34
ograwell, colin might be able to help10:34
LaserJockbut I don't know where to tap into to get my modifications on the add-on CD10:35
ograyep i understand10:35
ogramore tech questions ?10:35
LaserJockI'm good I think10:35
willvdlnot here10:35
ograthen lets move on10:36
ogradocs ?10:36
willvdlwell, I'd like to do website first if that's OK?10:36
LaserJockwell, nixternal is scheduling a Doc Team meeting10:36
ograindeed10:36
LaserJockI'm listed as required to attend for Edubuntu10:36
LaserJockthat's all from me10:36
willvdlLaserJock, I'll do my bit to be there10:36
ogracool10:36
LaserJockwillvdl: that would be good10:37
willvdlI'm behind on the procedures. the kenya trip threw me a bit10:37
mvoogra, LaserJock: I did some hacking with cjwatson on this, but I can't remember what bzr branch was responsible for this (colin did most of the work on the cdimage front)10:37
willvdlbut matt east has done good work with the team page10:37
ogramvo. i'll find out, thanks10:37
willvdlit's way better than my attempt tod escribe things :)10:37

willvdlnixternal, my evenings. I'm UTC+210:44
willvdlactually, the timezones normally work out OK for me. jsut not a weekend :)10:45
willvdlpips1, have you or highvoltage received anything from newz2000?10:46
pips1highvoltage volunteered to customise the template, apparently, he got the template from matt nuzum and started working on it. last week, he said he would put up the reworked template for comments... as soon as he is ready10:46
pips1haven't spoken to highvoltage since, though10:46
willvdlOK good news10:47
LaserJockhe's probably off starting a new company10:47

willvdlas soon as we have that template, let's setup the proposed edubuntu-website team10:47

willvdlwiki vs web etc.10:48
pips1well, no need to wait for the template to brainstorm on content, really10:48
willvdlmeaning, how to fit what into where. but yes, you're right :)10:48
nixternaljust put a picture of me on there and you sell cds like hotcakes!10:48

LaserJockwillvdl: lol10:49
pips1willvdl: lol10:49
nixternalgahaha10:49
ograheh10:49
LaserJockwell, I think it's a good idea to brainstorm the web content on the wiki10:49
pips1ok10:50
LaserJockthen when it's been tossed around enough, get it cleaned up and put in drupal10:50
LaserJockwe need to focus people to edubuntu.org10:50
LaserJockas the primary starting point10:50
willvdlyeah. as much static info on there as possible rather than wiki10:50
LaserJockso we need to make sure that the stuff people really need is either on there or linked from there10:51
LaserJockit's not bad to have a short bit on something and link to a wiki page for more info10:51
LaserJockbut things like this silly Desktop CD issue10:51
willvdlok, let's check with highvoltage tomorrow. is he putting up a sandbox?10:51
pips1static = proof read, generalised (or at least tagged as 6.06 LTS and 'Latest greatest' release)10:51
willvdlLaserJock, exactly what I mean10:51
LaserJockwe need to have a nice big notice that people shouldn't be installing via the Desktop CD10:51
LaserJockwe also need to put some dynamic in the frontpage10:52
LaserJockpeople want to see new news and things10:52
willvdlstatic also means links to things that don't change, release notes, news items, team info etc.10:52
willvdlalot of our current wiki can go in there10:52
pips1right10:53
LaserJockwell, you want to strike a balance10:53
LaserJockbetween having to maintain a hug pile of static docs10:53
willvdlOK, first things first: drupal 5.1?10:53
LaserJockwell10:53
LaserJockwe can start working on content on the wiki right now10:53
pips1yep10:53
LaserJockwe should tag wiki docs we want to go on edubuntu.org10:54
willvdlnot sure it will be that simple10:54
pips1not first things first but things-to-be-done-in-parallel :-)10:54
willvdl:)10:54
willvdlwe should tag info or sections that can go on the web. the wiki pages are quite convoluted10:54
pips1(well, best-effort-in-parallel)10:54
LaserJockwell, it's not like we update to drupal 5.1 and all of a sudden content pops out ;-)10:54
willvdlwhy not? why are we using t drupal then?10:55
LaserJockbecause, it's shiny10:55
willvdldrupalAI10:55
willvdljust kidding10:55
pips1lol10:55
pips1you guys are cracking me up10:55
nixternalcuz drupal is hawwt10:56
LaserJockwillvdl: drupalAI that plugs into some Google search API?10:56
willvdlso we'll make a website page under edubuntu/devel or something10:56
willvdlawesome10:56
pips1anyway, I can do a clean install of drupal...10:56
willvdlpips1, you've got a sandbox right?10:56
LaserJockwillvdl: yes, and we can just list candidates there10:56
pips1willvdl: yes, I have a sandbox10:56
LaserJockwillvdl: those are good bite-size tasks for contributors10:57
LaserJock"we need these wiki pages cleaned up before going on edubuntu.org"10:57
willvdlis it live? i.e. as in on the web?10:57
willvdlLaserJock, that reminds me, nearly done with BST structure10:57
pips1and I have access to the current .org server, I just haven't had the time to familiarise myself with that box / have a look what is already setup on that box regarding apache/mysql, etc10:57
pips1willvdl: yes, my sandbox server can be accessed online, the beta site is running on it too10:58
willvdlexcellent10:58
willvdlso we can devel it parallel10:59
pips1yep10:59
willvdlI know I'm jumping around but LaserJock, can you repeat what you said to me the other day about MOTU recipes?10:59
LaserJockoh, sure11:00
LaserJockwell we've started this wiki project11:00
LaserJockMOTU Recipies11:00
LaserJockwhere people can write sort of HowTo like pages for specific packaging tasks11:00
LaserJocklike making a debdiff11:00
LaserJockor doing a merge11:00
LaserJockit's a bit more indepth than just a FAQ11:00
LaserJockit's a bit more like topics in the Topic Based Help system11:01
LaserJockanyway11:01
LaserJockI was thinking this might be cool for Edubuntu11:01
LaserJockand in fact, if we got a good collection of Edubuntu Recipes11:01
LaserJockthen an Edubuntu Cookbook becomes a natural outcome11:01
pips1fingers crossed11:02
pips1:-)11:02
willvdlit could even be like "my edubuntu recipe" or how I installed my lab11:02
LaserJocksince it's on a wiki people can add/enhance as they come across things11:02
LaserJockwillvdl: exactly11:02
ogragavin started some nice docs recently11:02
willvdlI really think this is the best way to capture contributions11:02
willvdlogra, the FAQ?11:02
ograwe need to make sure to get them over to us11:02
LaserJockin #ubuntu-motu when people come across something we're asking them if they'd write it up11:02
ograthe faq and some debgging docs as well iirc11:03
ograi.e. how to set up bootchart on thin clients to measure bootspeed11:03
=== mariocesar_bo [n=Mario@201.222.112.26] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
pips1\o/11:03
willvdlah. the FAQ is now on help.ubuntu.com/community/EdubuntuFAQ. i won't be linked off main page cause of it's structure11:03
willvdlogra, I missed that, but a perfect recipe11:03
LaserJockhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Recipes/PackageUpdate is an example11:04
LaserJockand https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Recipes/Debdiff11:04
willvdlthis way we can stick to the procedure we decided at UDS: grab contributions and then collate into handbook in timely fashion before release11:04
LaserJockwe might want to come up with a little list of desired recipes11:05
LaserJockjust to get some things kicked off11:05
willvdlyeah, we can capture the current handbook11:05
willvdla recipe could be *anything*, even what FLOSS means to education...11:06
LaserJockwell, it will be anything the community is concerned enough to write about ;-)11:06
=== pips1 smiles when he reads "For Bonus Points..." on the recipe
willvdlwe might need to call it the cookbook again :)11:06
ograyay11:07
LaserJockwell, I can see having both, handbook being a reference doc11:07
willvdljust kidding11:07
LaserJockand cookbook being, well, a cookbook11:07
LaserJockbut recipes work well for both11:08
LaserJockthe basic problem is we need content11:08
LaserJockit's really not so important how we get it11:08
pips1yeah, think handbook = dusty tome, and cookbook = dogeared and greasy binder11:08
willvdl++11:08
willvdlLaserJock, as Scotty so aptly poited out at UDS11:08
LaserJockwe (edubuntu doc people) can turn content into the desired form11:08
LaserJockbut we need content first11:08
LaserJockand I think it's best if that comes from the community11:09
willvdlour procedure then jsut needs to have a recipre freeze with enough time to collate handbook11:09
LaserJockyep, or maybe not even that11:09
LaserJockwe can do a recipe snapshot11:10
LaserJockand build static docs out of that11:10
willvdlstill need to dump into xml11:10
LaserJockespecially if we end up doing some moin2docbook11:10
willvdlLaserJock, are you positive that will work well enough?11:10
LaserJocknope11:10
=== willvdl hears divided views
LaserJockbut it's better than nothing11:11
pips1I like the idea that people are encourage to write down *their* setup, rather than asking to write only about the "ideal" setup that never gets written...?11:11
willvdlthere is no "ideal" setup11:11
LaserJockin fact, to start with11:11
pips1*encouraged11:11
LaserJockthe "Cookbook" could be a static doc on edubuntu.org that merely links to the wiki pages11:11
pips1hmm11:12
willvdlhmm, help.u.com?11:12
LaserJockand Handbook writers can just look over recipes and copy-n-paste11:12
LaserJockwell11:12
willvdlLaserJock, cookbook may just as well link straight to wiki11:12
pips1when you say, "static doc", do you mean "merely a introductory sentence with navigational links"?11:12
LaserJockhelp.u.c doesn't have very good structure for handling Edubuntu11:12
willvdlLaserJock, we'll change that in the meeting :)11:13
willvdlnoone can find kubuntu docs anymore either11:13
LaserJockwillvdl: why not edubuntu.org?11:13
LaserJockI fail to see the point of having a website if we don't put anything on it ;-)11:13
willvdlbecause there is already help.ubuntu.com...11:13
willvdlfair enough :)11:14
willvdlmoot point11:14
LaserJockwell, if we can have it on help.ubuntu.com that's fine11:14
willvdlone thing at a time I guess11:14
LaserJockbut I think we need to work on HTML and PDF versions of docs as well11:14
willvdl++11:14
LaserJockour users are a tad different than the usual Ubuntu user I think in this regard11:14
willvdlto summarise:11:15
=== pips1 stands back and listens to the doc conversation
LaserJockteachers/admins are going to want to go to edubuntu.org and download some PDF docs11:15
willvdlit can be shipped in edubuntu-docs package too11:15
LaserJockyes, space permitting :-)11:15
willvdl2 cds dude11:16
willvdloh11:16
willvdlright11:16
willvdlsummary: (i want to capture this on paper :)11:16
willvdlFAQ on help.u.com/community for capturing FAQ style thingies11:17
willvdlrecipes on help.ubuntu.com/community for capturing Topics and Setups etc.11:17
=== ompaul [n=ompaul@freenode/staff/gnewsense.ompaul] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
willvdlLTSP docs also go on wiki presumably in different section as they get linked from SErver section off main page11:18
willvdlthen just before doc freeze we collate recipes in cookbook11:18
willvdland handbook folks can write handbook off it11:19
willvdlwe release on edubuntu.org11:19
willvdland package as much as possible11:19
willvdl.11:19
willvdlsound right?11:19
LaserJockpretty much11:19
pips1yep11:19
willvdlhow long do we need to collate?11:19
LaserJockwell, cookbook = recipe Table of Contents11:19
LaserJockso that shouldn't take long11:20
LaserJockhandbook stuff takes much longer11:20
willvdlhandbook is differnet yeah.11:20
willvdlsince we can draw from many sources11:20
LaserJockstring freeze is Sept. 13th11:20
willvdland has different scope11:20
=== finalbeta [n=gggggggg@d54C6865D.access.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
willvdlone week?11:20
LaserJockwhich essentially only valid for the handbook and TBH Topics11:21
willvdlwe don't have TBH stuff though11:21
LaserJockwell, some of the recipes could end up being TBH11:21
willvdlright. and LTSP definately should too11:22
nixternalLaserJock: are we going to convert to TBH?11:22
LaserJockI'd like to have a draft Cookbook at Beta Freeze11:22
LaserJocknixternal: I don't think really convert11:22
LaserJockjust provide topics as appropriate11:22
willvdlnixternal, we would like to have something in  TBH11:22
LaserJockI don't want to force too much work11:22
LaserJockso if a recipe or section in Handbook seem like they'd make a good topic, then lets do it11:23
nixternalwell if you decide on it, I can start the layout changes as necessary11:23
willvdllet's not worry about it for gutsy11:23
nixternalleave the handbook alone and create a topic based setup then?11:23
willvdllet's just get something decent out11:23
LaserJockok, fundamental question11:23
nixternalwell, most of the topic based stuff can be read from ubuntu docs right?11:24
LaserJockdo we want to continue the Edubuntu Handbook for gutsy?11:24
willvdlthe handbook is supposed to be a resource for educators11:24
LaserJockok, so should we ship that in Gnome Help?11:24
willvdlthe recipes are going to fill that role11:24
willvdlperhaps make handbook = recipes and the rest TBH11:25
LaserJockok, I'm a little concerned about resources11:25
willvdlmy brain hurts11:25
LaserJockI was thinking more handbook = reference cookbook and TBH = recipies11:25
willvdlok. then we need to decide on topic categories11:26
willvdlwhich should be easy11:26
LaserJockblah, we need a little doc sprint11:26
LaserJockthis is getting long and a bit OT11:26
willvdlyeah. mainly my fault11:27
LaserJocknah, I'm not very clear still on what we want to do and if we can pull it off11:27
nixternalmaybe setup an irc meeting for edubuntu docs sometime soon?11:27
willvdlwell, we chatted in UDS and the bottom line was "get the info into a wiki"11:27
LaserJockyes11:27
nixternalprobably should be clear prior to having a main doc team meeting11:27
willvdlas priority11:28
willvdlyes11:28
LaserJockI think the idea of Edubuntu Recipes is a good way to get content on the wiki11:28
LaserJockwe need to promote it and really push it11:28
willvdl++11:28
LaserJockthen as it gets closer to release the edubuntu-doc team can finalize what we want to ship11:28
LaserJockgiven the amount of content we have11:29
LaserJockif it's a flop there's no sense and making plans11:29
willvdlwe have two scopes and they get confused a bit :)11:29
LaserJockwillvdl: can you make (if it isn't already) and area on help.u.c/communit for the FAQ and Recipies11:30
willvdlFAQ is there11:30
willvdlI'll do it for recipes11:30
LaserJockwhen we've got that ready for people to start contributing we'll do a media blitz11:30
willvdlI want ot make the FAQ release specific as well11:30
LaserJockwell, get it set so that people can start editing then email edubuntu-devel11:31
willvdlI'll capture tonights discussion into a wiki page on wiki.e.org and then we can mung that around11:31
willvdland edubuntu-users11:31
LaserJockthen I can blog and fridge it11:31
LaserJockubuntu-education11:31
willvdlthe whole WORLD!11:31
willvdltatto it on your children's foreheads11:32
LaserJockand especially when people come into #edubuntu11:32
LaserJockand they figure something out, say "can you add that to ...?"11:32
LaserJockor "mind writing up a recipe for that on ...?"11:32
willvdlLaserJock, ++ for the recipe idea. so simple and will fix so many problems11:32
=== pips1 can be seen smiling faintly about willvdl's kids tatoo comment
willvdlmuch easier than docs + use cases that never appear11:33
willvdlpips1, check out the outpost.com commercials. must be on youtube11:33
LaserJockI don't have kids, but the cat might not mind ;-)11:33
pips1hehe11:34
willvdlhe11:34
willvdlshall we leave it here?11:34
LaserJockI think so, for me anyway11:34
LaserJockI'm tired11:34
LaserJockand it's only 2:30pm11:34
willvdlpips1, I've got some stuff to add to community blog11:34
pips1great11:35
willvdlabout eLEarning Africa. jsut need to edit out the canonical stuff11:35
pips1?11:35
pips1just go ahead, I'm not going to hold you back11:35
LaserJockbtw, if anybody has interesting news items about Edubuntu let me know and I'll throw it on Fridge11:35
willvdlI wrote a canonical report which won't be of much interest to community.11:35
pips1ah11:35
willvdlpips1, just remind me in a few days to do it. it's midway on my priorities11:36
=== pips1 just wishes he had more time
willvdlwe'll attract more people. jeust need the tipping point11:37
pips1willvdl: don't ask me to remind you, just do it!11:37
pips1:-P11:37
willvdlI'll forget!11:37
pips1pfft11:37
LaserJockpips1: just write a cron job that emails and does an IRC poke11:37
pips1ok, I'll *encourage* you to contribute11:38
pips1LaserJock: hehe11:38
willvdlLaserJock, I'll flood ping you you bastard!11:38
LaserJockheh11:38

willvdldudes, as usual, very informative tonight. need to write this up. back to #e11:38
LaserJockok, so a cron job that wake up highvoltage to go ping you11:38
pips1poor h.11:39
ograhttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/daily-live/20070606.5/ seems to be good for testing11:39
LaserJockogra: awesome11:39
willvdlheh11:39
ografinally they are properly sized, sigh11:39
pips1ogra: very timely reminder that we haven't been doing anything but talking, while you were silently ploughing away as always ;-)11:40
LaserJockogra: is an rsync of these from Feisty any good?11:40
pips1ohhh, do you have an updated rsync script?11:40
=== pips1 wants it
ograLaserJock. it might speed up a bit, yes11:40
ograpips1. nope11:41
ograi'm rsyncing manually ...11:41
pips1ic11:41
LaserJockthat's what I do too11:41
ografeel free to take the old one and fix the paths :)11:41
LaserJocksince I usually only do like 1 at at time11:41
LaserJock*a11:41
ograwell, i do 6, but thats a simple for loop :)11:42
=== pips1 vaguely remembers fiddling about with the paths in the script
LaserJockI usually have to use ogra's rsync script to figure out the rsync commands11:42
ogralol11:42
