RichEdLaserJock asked me to raise the following queries:02:11
RichEd"How do I install language support from the add-on CD"02:11
RichEdhe saw that in the forum ... is is a simple process ?02:11
ograhe's travelling (or preparing to)02:11
ograand said his contract stuff isnt sorted yet :/02:11
stgraberhello02:11
ogradunno whats holding it up02:11
ograsynaptic atm02:11
RichEdogra: ^^ query ?02:12
RichEdand also: <LaserJock> another was how to get all the gcompris languages installed02:12
ograthe language selector should work as well if the CD is mounted, but dont quote me on it, i havent tested that02:12
ograthe gcompris language stuff is a bit complicated02:12
ograwe dont have enough langs to just add them to the langpack selection in the seeds02:13
ograso they need to be special cased either or i need to build funny scriptbased metapackage sor other weird stuff02:13
ograin former releases we just installed all the gcompris sound packages02:14
ogranow that its on the addon CD we would need some new way to handle them02:14
RichEdso how do we move forward on this ... log a request / bug in lp02:14
ograi'll talk to LaserJock about that02:14
RichEdokie02:14
=== PriceChild [n=pricechi@ubuntu/member/pricechild] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
ograwell, thats all from my side about tech, dunno if you want to add something RichEd02:15
ograRichEd was busy with tech stuff as well this week :)02:16
RichEdjust the comments from LaserJock ...02:16
RichEdand some spec work for the Edulinux Moodle project02:17
ograyeah02:17
RichEdI was just chatting to pips1 about that ... we will let you know when the project server is up ... if people want to read or comment02:17
RichEdjust to fill you in: we are building an single CD bundle: edubuntu / moodle / database ... simple install02:18
RichEdthis is part of an EU project ... with schools / universities as partners ...02:18
RichEdthey request various features, and we are evaluating which moodle add-ons to bundle02:19
RichEdthe results will be public02:19
RichEdand prepared as an .iso for all to download.02:19
RichEd--- that's all from me02:19
RichEdanyone else with technical ?02:20
ogradoesnt look like02:20
RichEdmoving on to artwork then ...02:20
ogra(sorry i'm a bit distracted jumping around between different running installs)02:20
RichEdstill no sign of cbx33 lately ... anyone seen him in #edubuntu in the past month ?02:20
ograas i said, he told me he wanted to draw back a bit from all the duties he took himself02:21
ograhe felt it was to much02:21
RichEdi'll need to check his level of commitment ... as we may need a replacement if he is too busy with other work02:21
ograbut he didnt want to drp all02:21
RichEddo we have anyone else who is keen to help with artwork ... not necessarily as creator, but also as organisational ?02:22
ograyeah, i need to check what up with TCM as well if he doenst want to maintain it anymore02:22
ogra*what's02:22
RichEd... okay let me check with pete re his availability ...02:23
RichEdand also see if he can put together a short list of responsibilities / items he used to care for02:24
ograwell for edubuntu tech thats specifically only TCM02:25
=== RichEd checks the agenda ... is documentation next ?
ograand artwork indeed, but i count more on kwwii with that to be honest02:25
ograi think doc was before art :)02:25
RichEdogra: kwii helps out with production but will not lead ... we need to give him requests / guidelines etc.02:26
=== fernando [n=fernando@unaffiliated/musb] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
ograRichEd, we can care ourself about coloring as long as his pics are easily chngeable02:27
ogra*he* shall give *us* the specs for his pics ... i'm fine with changing colors or logos then02:27
RichEdokay ... I will review the artwork process that willvdl has put together and see where we have gaps ... and chat to you and/or kwii02:28
ogra(i can even script that if we make up a proper palette from the colors we have atm)02:28
RichEd(just saying we need someone to keep an eye on the overall process / deadlines ... to free ogra up for tech focus)02:28
RichEdmmm no sign of willvdl for web sites & documentation ...02:29
=== RichEd checks in canonical quickly
ograhe was busy with the admins i saw02:29
ograabout the server update02:29
RichEdnope not there either ...02:29
ograbut i have no idea where we stand atm02:29
RichEdhighvoltage: ogra and I saw you chatting to willvdl re the website ubuntu uprade from dapper02:30
RichEdany news ? status ?02:30
highvoltageRichEd: yes02:30
highvoltageRichEd: server was upgraded to dapper last week02:30
highvoltageRichEd: edubuntu.org was upgraded to drupal 5.1 friday evening02:31
RichEdupgraded to dapper ?02:31
highvoltageRichEd: most of the canical2007 theme is ported to edubuntu02:31
highvoltageRichEd: yes, it was still running breezy02:31
RichEdoh ... any reason why it did not go to feisty ?02:31
highvoltageRichEd: I didn't mention it before publicly, since there might have been security risks attached to it02:31
RichEdokay ...02:31
highvoltageRichEd: well, dapper is the LTS release02:32
highvoltageRichEd: matthew is doing some colour work on the theme02:32
=== RichEd is impressed with all the changes ... w00t
highvoltagematthew uses photoshop, he says he can do it quicker than me02:32
highvoltageI'm just going to put it up as I get it, faster incremental changes work better than the big bang stuff02:33
=== pips1 is happy to hear about progress
highvoltagewe can even have it up today or tomorrow, if you'd be happy with a brown backround gradient02:33
highvoltagepips1: yes, even SSL is working ;)02:33
pips1\o/02:34
pips1finally02:34
pips1:-)02:34
highvoltagepips1: it was also relient on the server upgrade02:34
pips1what about the content?02:34
pips1ic02:34
highvoltageI really can't believe it was left on breezy that long :/02:34
jsgotangcoheh02:35
highvoltagepips1: depends what kind of content you mean. we can have forums now. now that ssl works, we can have users register themselves, so that will work.02:36
highvoltagepips1: in terms of updating existing content, I suppose that's willvdl's baby02:36
pips1We had a meeting at UDS Sevilla about the websites of Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu... an idea that was discussed was that it would help the new site visitors if there was some kind of consistency across all sites... not so much in terms of "look", but more in terms of navigation02:36
RichEdpips1: that is part of the move to the canonical theme ...02:37
highvoltagewe can be consistent with canonical and ubuntu02:37
highvoltageKubuntu's look is a whole other discussion02:37
RichEdthe idea is to keep the horizontal toobars at the top, so that, for example, if you are on edubuntu.org but click on support / marketplace, then you go straight to the area on ubuntu.com02:38
=== RichEd goes to get an example quickly ...
highvoltagethe canonical theme is way superior to the ubuntu theme. I think metthew will eventually re-do ubuntu's theme02:38
highvoltageit lacks some features, which the canonical one has02:38
pips1Yes. RichEd, I remember your idea in particular, that even the page hiearchy could be the same, e.g. /getubuntu/download should be the same for Ubuntu.com, Kubuntu and Edubuntu.org...02:38
highvoltage(such as support for a right sidebar)02:38
RichEdpips1: the download will need some work ... there will need to be some decisions taken on the naming ...02:39
pips1right.02:39
RichEdthey have embedded ubuntu in the name in some locations, and do we swop out ubuntu for edubuntu or make edubuntu a subset of ubuntu ...02:40
RichEdsmall matters just to clear up.02:40
=== afflux [i=fnord@pentabarf.de] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
RichEdhere is the example I mentioned:02:40
RichEdhttp://chi.ubuntu-us.org/02:40
pips1Let me just throw in this idea again: why don't we copy the entire ubuntu.com content (i.e. the whole database) and use that as a "base" for the edubuntu relaunch... we can delete pages that aren't relevant to edubuntu, modify pages to make them specifically relevant to edubuntu, and add a few pages that we need in addtion. What does everybody think about this approach?02:41
RichEdif you load it, you will see that there are a small set of chicago specific pages, but the main links back to ubuntu are direct and consistent02:41
RichEdpips1: that is almost exactly what the example does02:41
RichEdoops ... let me clarify ...02:42
highvoltagepips1: I don't think we're going to do the big-bang-relaunch thing02:42
RichEdi don't think we want to have duplicate pages on our site ... if the info is accurate on ubuntu.com02:42
=== beuno [n=martin@ubuntu/member/beuno] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
RichEdwe should only host major deviations ...02:42
RichEdminor deviations are best covered on the ubuntu site as a flavour change I think ?02:43
pips1highvoltage: it doesn't have to be a "big bang" type of thing, I am just suggesting that we could re-use the content from ubuntu.com...02:43
pips1RichEd: hmm.02:43
pips1Well, the big question is really: how to we insure best maintenance with the least effort?02:44
pips1*do02:44
highvoltagepips1: yep, absolutely02:44
pips1so we don't want *double* content02:44
highvoltagepips1: you have editing right, don't you? If you want to re-create a page, feel free to do so02:44
pips1nah, I'm just trying to figure out a way to align edubuntu and ubuntu.com sites (both in terms of look/template, but also in terms of navigation structure/content) with as little unnessasary work as possible02:46
pips1hmm02:46
=== sbalneav [n=sbalneav@mail.legalaid.mb.ca] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
pips1*unnecessary02:46
=== sbalneav goes to the principals office for a lateslip
RichEdpips1: i think you and I should have a meeting with will and highvoltage to get a plan together ... before will leaves next week02:48
pips1so my idea was to copy the whole ubuntu.com site's database and simply tweak the content here and there... hmm. I realise this not ideal. We really want most content on the ubuntu site, and only some additional content that is relevant to edubuntu, i.e. mostly content about the educational applications and about our specific community (communication channels such as irc channel etc)02:49
=== rexbron [n=rexbron@TOROON63-1177742445.sdsl.bell.ca] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
sbalneavWill going on holidays?02:49
highvoltagepips1: I tend to think it's more efficient to link to certain pages than to copy the entire site over. we have help.ubuntu.com for documentation02:49
=== calc [n=ccheney@conr-adsl-209-169-124-200.consolidated.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
RichEdpips1: there are a lot more resources working on the ubuntu.com site, like the marketing people, so their content will change more quickly .. and we may struggle to keep up with the mods02:50
pips1sure, linking is preferable02:50
highvoltageso I think it will get messy copying over the entire ubuntu site02:50
RichEdsbalneav: will only had a short contract specifically around a project (NEPAD) and that expires end June02:50
highvoltagepips1: what's the state of the community site? did I miss the update on that?02:50
pips1in addition we should have some redirection happening also... for some crucial / very popular url paths that exist on the ubuntu.com site...02:50

=== PriceChild [n=pricechi@ubuntu/member/pricechild] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
pips1i've been too busy :-((02:51
highvoltagethere's an edubuntu-website team in launchpad. perhaps you should ping the group and ask if anyone wants to help out with the areas you're too busy with02:52
pips1hmm.02:52
pips1I don't know if that will help02:53
RichEdwell now is a good time to bring up LP and community applications ...02:53
RichEdwe are getting more requests by people asking to become edubuntu members02:53
RichEdsome spam, but quite a few are real ...02:53
RichEdso: 1. how do we streamline the approval process (I get too busy to attend to all)02:54
pips1I think it's too difficult to communicate the overall idea/vision... I think the most effective will be if I set aside a block of time and then just get it done.02:54
RichEdand 2. perhaps we should have a wiki page outlining how the people could get involved, with the subgroups, and a short intro on what they do ?02:54
RichEd(like the edubuntu website example)02:55
RichEdogra: any suggestions on how or who can do the approvals ?02:55
=== pips1 looks for the "teams" in launchpad
pips1arg, where the **** do I find the team search on LP?02:56
ograRichEd, EC approvals ?02:57
RichEdpeople requesting to become an edubuntu member02:57
ograwe should have anoother EC meeting for that and announce it loudly02:57
jsgotangcoyep02:57
RichEdI do not get around to them all :( ... they can get lost in my inbox at times02:57
RichEdpips1: my point exactly ... ^^ ... if you can't find all the edubuntu teams / education teams ... we should perhaps have a guide page ?02:58
highvoltagepips1: I understand what you'd like to achive, but we also have to be realistic and get done what we can as soon as possible02:58

mr_pouityes10:07

Jester45both?10:09
sacaterdue october10:09
sacaterthe next next release (2008) hasnt been thought about yet10:09
sacaterand of course hasnt been code-named either10:09
Jester45sacater, gusty or the one after that, but i guess thats to far into the furture to be working on it10:09
sacaterthe next release, due october, is gutsy10:10
j1mcmr_pouit: thanks for your help with packaging items from Xfce.10:10
mr_pouitnp ;)10:10
=== sacater feels a traitor, joining this meeting from his fluxbox lappy :P
j1mcare there any new xfce apps that might be included with gutsy?  i'm thinking of the "places" panel plugin.10:11
j1mci'm not sure of it's status.10:11
mr_pouitis it in gutsy?10:11
=== sacater raises his hand
mr_pouitiirc, gpocentek packaged it10:11
Admiral_Chicagosacater: i'm on an ubuntu lappy10:11
j1mcmr_pouit: ah, so it would be available via the panel plugins menu?10:12
sacaterwith gutsy, can we do a different default xfce-menu style, instead of applications and stuff at the top10:12
j1mci know that somerville32 was interested in that.10:12
sacaterits all inverted to how most people use xfce10:12
mr_pouitxfce4-places-plugin | 0.2.0-0ubuntu1 | http://archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/universe Sources10:12
j1mcthank you...10:13
fijambtw, got a question. How is that right-click desktop menu done in xubuntu? xfce doesn't have it by default10:13

sacaterAdmiral_Chicago: ty10:14
j1mcsacater: yes, xubuntu does have a different menu layout than other Xfce-based distros, but that doesn't mean we're bad.10:14
sacaterand then do 'right click menu' or something10:14
j1mcor that it's a wrong approach.10:14
sacaterj1mc: never implied that10:14
fijamsacater:  yes, but it is customized. In default xfce 4.4 installation it is just the applications menu, while we have 'create directory', 'create from template' etc.10:15
j1mcAdmiral_Chicago: would you like to talk about the help you need with the release notes?10:16

j1mcif you're sure that they're new to Xubuntu for this release, please add them.  I think we should also mention the upload of Xubuntu-restricted-extras.10:21
Admiral_Chicagonspluginwrapper lets you use flash in 64 bit firefox10:21
j1mcah, ok...10:21
j1mcand nsplusinwrapper is available for install with tribe 2?10:22
Admiral_Chicagoiceape is the mozilla suite, firefox + thunderbird + sunbird iirc10:22

j1mcok.  thanks.10:22
Admiral_Chicagowe also have firefox-trunk a package to test bleeding edgy firefox 310:22
fijamit may be unbranded, hence the 'ice'10:22
Admiral_Chicagoit is unbranded10:23
Admiral_Chicagonspluginwrapper is uploaded and installable, the spec in progress is to launch and install it to config automagically when someone uploads something like flashplugin-nonfree10:24
j1mcAdmiral_Chicago: if you wouldn't mind just adding the new items that you want to cover, i'm sure we can get some people to help flesh out the content.10:24

fijamI must say that I share the doubts of Lucius, that editing ubuntu documentation may create some obstacles in compariston to 'starting from the scratch' approach10:56
Jester45im here now10:56
=== j1mc has been bad, sitting on Admiral_Chicago's multimedia page for a while.
Jester45let me read what i missed10:56
fijambut I understand that both approaches have its advantages and disadvantages10:57
fijamand I will gladly follow the chosen path10:57
=== j1mc nods
Admiral_Chicagoi agree but we read the ubuntu docs were carefully and there is a lot of similarities10:57
Admiral_Chicagohowever i was unhappy with the way some things were described and what not10:57
=== j1mc meant to nod at the "i understand both approaches . . . " statement.
j1mci've found that (iirc) pressing Alt-F2 on Xubuntu brings up the XFCE documentation.  :)10:58
j1mcit may be a bit outdated (for xfce 4.2, i think) but it may help us.10:58
Jester45are you sure thats not alt+F110:59
fijamallright, I see rational and careful modification of the existing ubuntu documetnation as a viable solution10:59
j1mcI think it's alt-f2.  i don't have a xubuntu box with me here now, though.11:00
Admiral_Chicagofijam: rewritting from scratch would also require us to learn much more docbook than we should responsibly consider11:00
Jester45j1mc, well con feisty Alt+F2 is the run dialog F1 is the docs11:00
j1mcyeah... :)  it's much easier to learn as we go by modifying the ubuntu docs.  :)11:00
j1mcJester45: you're probably right.  i'll have to check it out when I get home.11:00
Jester45j1mc, thanks its nice to know someone noticed me helping out11:01
Admiral_Chicagoour goal is to have good solid docs done that are TBH11:01
j1mcas a matter of fact, i know you're right.  :)11:01
j1mcJester45: you provide good support.11:01
j1mcI'll let you both know when I have the documentation "schedule" up.11:02

j1mcwe also need to check with somerville32 and maxamillion about our revised spec for the Xubuntu Documentation Browser.11:02
fijam_I think I lost the connection11:03
fijam_what was the last thing I said?11:03
j1mcfijam_: [15:59]  <fijam> allright, I see rational and careful modification of the existing ubuntu documetnation as a viable solution11:03
Admiral_Chicagoj1mc: i'm a bit concerned if that will go through11:03

Admiral_Chicagoj1mc: cubs win. 6-4: sweep rockies.11:04
Admiral_Chicagosorry about the OT11:04
fijam_I am no coder. sorry.11:04
j1mcsomerville32 leaves for the summer in the next few days.  he won't be back until august.11:04
j1mcwe need to get a status update from him on this quickly.11:05
j1mcor get some input from him on this quickly.11:05
Admiral_Chicagoye11:05

Jester45<j1mc> we also need to check with somerville32 and maxamillion about our revised spec for the Xubuntu Documentation Browser.11:06
fijam_Hello11:06
maxamillionJester45: thanks11:06
fijam_j1mc: you suggested that we could share the patches, before commiting them to the mailing list. How? On the channel?11:06
Jester45np, helping out11:06
maxamillionj1mc: i haven't had a chance to look over the revised spec11:06
j1mcfijam_: we could email them to each other.11:06
Admiral_Chicagofijam: google docs works.11:06
Admiral_Chicagoas well11:06
fijam_great idea, I'd love that11:07
j1mcmaxamillion: np.  do you think you could talk it over with somerville32 in the next day or so?11:07
j1mche leaves for the summer in the very near future.11:08
maxamillionj1mc: as soon as i catch him online i can ... i might just have to text message him soon and try to see if he would have free time to look it over11:08
j1mcalso, in regards to somerville32, he offered to host the test xubuntu.org site on his home server, but i don't know if that is set up.11:08
=== hyper_ch got two servers
maxamillionj1mc: another thing is that i am about to start up a summer session concurrent systems programming in C course in a week and won't have much time11:09
j1mcmaxamillion: ah, ok...11:09
j1mcperhaps we need to defer the X-D-B. schedules getting in the way.11:10
maxamillionj1mc: but at the same time, from the sounds of it ... the app would only take a weekend of hacking to get finished and from there we just need to get it in the repos and promoted to main11:10
j1mcyeah...11:10
j1mcplease see if you can talk to cody about it.11:10
maxamillionj1mc: will do11:10
maxamillionj1mc: i imagine that between us we would be able to pull it off11:10
maxamillionj1mc: well ... the coding atleast11:10
j1mcplease send him an email... i'm not sure when he'll be on IRC.11:10
j1mcguys, i'm sorry, but i need to go... :(  i have work stuff to do.11:11
j1mcplease continue... :)11:11
j1mcmaybe see how Jester45 can help us out with his awesome skills.  :)11:12
Admiral_ChicagoI11:13
Admiral_Chicagoj1mc: Ill continue the discussions11:13
fijam_I have a suggestion, since the xubuntu documentation will be in general ubuntu documentation + xfce specific features + a few selected apps, maybe we could see if an cooperation with xfce team on their documentation could be a good idea11:13
fijam_s/an/a11:13
fijam_this would enable us to push the documentation forward, and have some influence on timing11:14
fijam_please comment11:14
Admiral_Chicagothe issue is getting in contact with people and making sure its being worked on11:16
=== fijam_ is now known as fijam
servaas-xubuntu-fijam maybe there are documenters of other distros also interested ?11:16
fijamcoordinating this is of course a challenge, but I think that the advantages would be substancial11:17
Admiral_Chicagodo you mean an upstream documentation browser?11:18
Admiral_Chicagoi don't know how upstream deals with their doc displays11:18
fijamI mean we help xfce people write xfce 4.4 documentation (which is not completed yet) and at the same time we help ourselves11:19
fijamand we are not forced to wait till they finish it, so we could incorporate it in xubuntu documentation11:20
Admiral_Chicagoah yes, jim was talking about getting better work with upstream, their docs need love too11:20
fijamsorry if I am unclear on this, it's getting late11:20
fijamright, I'll drop Jim an email to get to know how he sees it, ok?11:21
Admiral_Chicagocool11:21
Admiral_ChicagoI can't think of anythign else, anyone else with idead?11:22
fijamit would be cool. if you could set the google doc for us, if we all agree to use it11:23
fijams/./,11:24
Admiral_Chicagofijam: google docs for what11:24
fijamfor documentation patches exchange11:24

hyper_chJester45: how about you find out :)11:42
Jester45well... i got unlimited everything for ever and it only costed me a few days of web design11:42
hyper_chthe only problem with those servers are the ram is low (256mb) but just for hosting OSS stuff you don't need more ram.... and it's got a 100mbit connection11:42
Jester45naw but you can if you want :)11:42
hyper_chJester45: I didn't ask how much it is in $11:43
Jester45vidd's server is co-located at an ISP11:43
Jester45yea..11:43
hyper_chJester45: you're good at webdesign?11:43
Jester45a little11:44
Jester45i will get better im only 16 now... just wait till i get more money for a good line + server11:44

Jester45i been buggin vidd to set up dual network cards so that he could get 200mbit line on the box11:47
hyper_chstgraber: it does11:47
hyper_chstgraber: got one as personal backup and mp3 streaming server... works just fine11:48

stgraberhyper_ch: http://www.ovh.de/kundenbereich/agb/OVH_Anlage_DRS.pdf11:49
hyper_chstgraber: oh well, I just thought for that price I could donate a server for OSS11:50
stgraberyes, it's too bad, I'd have moved some high-traffic game servers / radio / web hosting servers to them otherwise11:51
stgraberthey also don't allow IRC (bouncers, bot, ...) which can also be a real problem11:51
Jester45hyper_ch, well you could go to vidd, he trying to start a hosting site if you didnt notice11:51
Jester45he just hasnt had the time to fill in the site11:52
hyper_chJester45: start a hosting site?11:52
