[12:33] here is something ironic: CIO recommends SUSE for thin clietns over ubuntu [12:33] http://www.cio.com/article/print/126702 [12:35] oh Burgundavia, you're here [12:35] hey LaserJock [12:35] your former colleagues are bugging me today ;-) [12:36] heh [12:36] what about? [12:36] the usual [12:36] Desktop Multiplier should be updated [12:39] Burgundavia: they're still trying to get it into Feisty [12:44] right, have you emailed them the SRU documentation? [12:45] no, I just gave an explanation an pointed out the release schedule [12:52] given the binary nature of d-m, I would say an SRU is acceptable [12:56] yeah, but we don't do new upstream releases in -updates [01:01] LaserJock: what about flashplayer? [01:02] hmm, you're right [01:03] this is pretty much purely binary crap [01:04] I'm not sure if I can get away with an SRU (no data loss bug, etc.) but at least there is precedent there [01:06] I don't honestly trust Jason, so meh [01:06] remember, I have seen Userful's "QA" policies [01:10] heh [01:10] he's going to test his new package on Gutsy and get back to me [01:10] so I'm off the hook for a little bit === salsaguy [n=rob@84.13.152.191] has joined #edubuntu [01:36] Burgundavia: Yeah, that is ironic. I'm not sure how he could recommend SUSE for TCs unless he's ignorant of the entire direction of the LTSP. [01:37] moquist: likely he doesn't know about it [01:45] I thougt the comparison of SUSE-Windows and Ubuntu-Mac was interesting.

I am looking for the deb package that would have this in it... I need this module to safely run students code inside of pystart. [03:15] http://pypi.python.org/pypi/RestrictedPython/3.4.2#print [03:23] ogra is around here somewhere.... [03:23] does he know this kinda stuff? [03:24] I jsut found out it is part of the Zope system if it gives any hints [03:24] thats in zope3 [03:24] bingo [03:24] i dont know this kinda stuff ;) [03:24] but i know where to look [03:24] http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=RestrictedPython&searchmode=searchfilesanddirs&case=insensitive&version=feisty&arch=i386 === encompass clicks [03:25] intresting that koffice duplicated the code here [03:26] they did... they should have it as a separate package so I can use it :P I don't see any other way of testing untrusted code then threw this. But if I just use the egg then it screws up my program going into edubuntu sooner [03:27] ogra: should I make a package of this along with my GSoC project? [03:27] given that schooltool will likely be shipped again this release, we'll have zope aboard in edubuntu [03:27] It would be a pain but my guess the only way [03:27] ok [03:28] talk to doko, he makes such decisions for our python stack [03:28] in case you want a separate package [03:28] hving koffice ship its own *and* a third project using it might justify that [03:28] yeah... otherwise PyStart required zope3 :P [03:29] how best should I talk to doko? [03:29] threw pete?

[07:42] I love it, and I'm exhausted as all getout after work [07:42] jillc: ping [07:42] Yeah, I went home to Venezuela for about 3 week [07:43] SimonAnibal: nice ... me needs to get to South America some time ... may go to brazil in september [07:43] Well, assuming it's as beautiful as Venezuela ;-) you'll love it [07:44] Hey, there's a conference going on here that might interest you in October [07:44] http://www.openmindsconference.org [07:44] SimonAnibal: I come from a Southern Continent myself ... real nature ... not the tame kind [07:44] The guy who spearheads the 1:1 access program in the state is putting it up [07:45] tom hoffman has already probed me about that ... it's being organised by our mutual connection - your and my first interaction mr huffman [07:45] RichEd, I was planning on going camping about as far from civilization as one can still get with a car, but my dad's car wasn't up to the task, so we postponed that for next year [07:46] (and he's no relation to felicity i presume) [07:46] RichEd, nods, he was the keynote speaker at the CINLUG meeting you asked me to attend on Canonical's behalf [07:46] RichEd, I'm afraid that reference is lost on me [07:47] SimonAnibal: use the thumb transport :) [07:47] feilicy huffman is one of the desperate housewives actresses ... married to william h macy [07:47] I see, Transamerica [07:47] I never got to see that one [07:47] yes indeed :) [07:48] I did see Magnolia... [07:49] Mike made it a point to get me a card about the conference when he saw my new boss at NECC this year [07:49] It seems that next year's NECC will be taking place during my honeymoon, so I won't get to go to that one either [07:50] *shrug* I don't think I'll be worrying too much about it [07:50] difficult choice ... option 1: surrounded by geeks ... option 2: alone with a new bride .... erm ... [07:51] mind you ... some of the hacker types I know may chose option 1 :) === RichEd heads off for some dinner [07:51] RichEd, I would never live it down if I did [07:51] I've already had to push the wedding back a couple of weeks because of my new job === RichEd whacks SimonAnibal over the head with a keyboard for even considering it ;P [07:52] RichEd, richly deserved [07:53] if I had been serious, at least ;-) [07:54] I don't know [07:55] option 1 can be a lot of fun [07:56] well if your jockstrap is made of light ... maybe :) [07:56] but if you are packing ... option 2 is better [07:56] I'm ... not even going there [07:57] SimonAnibal prolly won't invite others along [07:57] me heads off for some food before he (1) starves or (2) offends someone [08:01] Ummm, no, not for the honeymoon. We'll be alone (or as alone as possible, at least) on a tropical archipelago resort. I'm not usually one for going "non-native" and getting the fancy treatment, but I figure that if there's one time in life when it's appropriate, it's the honeymoon [08:04] shhhhhh! you guys are talking to much in here :) [08:06] sorry === SimonAnibal goes back to idling (food!) === miguelon [n=migsol@201.230.187.30] has joined #edubuntu === a5benwillis_ [n=benwilli@72.159.132.4] has joined #edubuntu === pauljw_vm [n=paul@pool6.dial1-clec.newalb.win.net] has joined #edubuntu [08:22] Hello from Arizona.

[10:46] nope, it can do .docbook, but not .xml [10:46] heh, so just rename the files [10:47] yup, but you would still have to change the if you did them with the type="help" [10:47] I want to .docbook for Kubuntu docs so you don't have to build anything [10:47] cool [10:48] I don't *think* we have an ghelp links [10:48] but we can check [10:48] but can Yelp do .docbook? === ogra_ [n=ogra@p548ADAE6.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #edubuntu [10:50] nixternal: I have no idea, doesn't really matter though [10:51] I think they have to go to different paths anyway, so we can simlink or copy === pips1 [n=philipp@12.184.77.83.cust.bluewin.ch] has joined #edubuntu === jim_k [n=jim@204.248.118.32] has joined #edubuntu [10:59] ---> meeting continuation ... here <--- [10:59] so, the meeting proposal [10:59] hey [10:59] can I chat about a proposed agenda for splitting the meeting into 2 x 1 hour [11:00] to see if it makes sense ... [11:00] The old meeting agenda was: [11:00] # Technical [11:00] # Documentation [11:00] # Art Work [11:00] # Web Sites [11:00] # Community [11:00] # Management & Planning [11:00] # Any other Matters Arising [11:00] and that ran over 2 hours [11:00] and the agenda was quite loose ... so things could drag out a bit [11:01] so there has been a proposal bounced around about splitting the meeting into 2 [11:01] #1 technical - 1 hour - led by Oliver === ogra_ nods [11:01] #2 community & contributors - 1 hour - led by Richard [11:02] +1 [11:02] so I've played around with splitting the agenda, and giving it more structure ... [11:02] would this work ... as a starting suggestion: [11:02] #1 : Edubuntu Technical - Product [11:02] 1 HOUR led by Oliver [11:02] * Development : General [11:02] * Development : Activities for the past week [11:02] * Current Release Cycle [11:02] - next deadline [11:02] - what's needed / outstanding [11:02] * Coding [11:02] * Testing [11:03] * Documentation [11:03] * Artwork [11:03] * Upstream news [11:03] do you plan a second doc run in the second part ` [11:03] (comment: where we are in the release cycle and next deadline i think would be good to have as a context each time) [11:03] ? [11:03] well let me put that up: [11:04] #2 Edubuntu Community & Contributors [11:04] 1 HOUR led by Richard [11:04] * Edubuntu Members [11:04] - new people applying / joining / introducing themselves [11:04] - approvals : 1st meeting of every month [11:04] * Edubuntu Documentation Team [11:04] * Edubuntu Handbook Contributors [11:04] * Edubuntu Artwork [11:04] * Edubuntu Advocacy [11:04] * Websites [11:04] - www.edubuntu.org [11:04] - wiki.edubuntu.com [11:04] - community [11:04] * Community General [11:04] * Partner Projects [11:04] * Upcoming [11:04] - Events / Conferences / Expos [11:04] (comment: so the second part would revolve more around the LP group activities [11:04] RichEd: did you get my email about this? [11:05] LaserJock: what was the subject ... let me check [11:05] i dont think we should duplicate artwork and doc efforts ... [11:05] nb ... the above is just a suggestion ... we need to decide as a group [11:05] i'd put a * Genreal in place so if there are really art or doc issues related to tech we can discuss that there [11:05] ogra_: the first meeting would revolve around art for deadline ... [11:06] RichEd: "Edubuntu meeting notes" [11:06] but the master part should stay in one hand for both [11:06] but the 2nd one would be more about the people ... and mentoring ... introducing people into the contributor community === RichEd was trying to work out how to do this ... how would we resolve that ? [11:07] well, I've got a couple comments [11:07] LaserJock: checking mail now ... === RichEd listens intently [11:07] 1) this is too big and it's too rigid. We don't have people for most of that [11:07] well, i wont have much to talk about in the tech part for docs ... and i see the content management/decisions rather in the second meeting [11:08] 2) it seems like the idea was to divide technical from non-technical but it looks more like Canonical vs non-Canonical, which is not a good message [11:08] LaserJock: that was not at all my intention ... it did not even occur to me [11:09] to me neither, but now i know why i didnt like art and docs in the dev part :) [11:09] of course, I know you don't intend that [11:09] LaserJock: just scanned your mail ... we are on the same wavelength :) [11:09] my suggestion, briefly, was the following: [11:10] "#1 : Edubuntu Technical - Product" is the title :) we should soften that a bit [11:10] perhaps a simple summary of the split i proposed above is almost: [11:10] #1 work to deadline [11:10] make that just "edubuntu development" [11:10] #2 life outside the deadline and how to get involved [11:10] 1) ogra's section be shortish 30min maybe with Development Team style reports from Edubuntu devs [11:11] ogra_: a thought just occured to me: [11:11] #1 edubuntu-devel [11:11] LaserJock, sounds good [11:11] #2 edubuntu-usersd [11:11] #2 edubuntu-users [11:11] right [11:11] yes, that's better [11:11] LaserJock, well, thats usually what i do ... [11:12] so beyond the fact that there are not many devs its similar to a distro team meeting :) [11:12] ogra_: the reason I see that we need art / docs potentially in part 1 is to note what is needed for deadlines [11:12] those actiond can carry over into part 2 for people to tackle [11:12] ogra_: well, perhaps we need to more formally do that though, beyond just you [11:12] same for docs [11:13] RichEd, right, i think if we face art or doc deadlines it makes sense for devs having docs to contribute to attend the second meeting [11:13] yes, part one should be status reports from the devels/leads [11:13] LaserJock, so that would be you and me then ? :) [11:13] mostly to start with [11:13] ogra_: indeed ... but in part 1 the "project manager" brings the action items to the table with status [11:13] but also an art lead [11:13] sbalneav if he attends [11:14] and if we get some more MOTUs them too [11:14] right [11:14] anybody working on a spec, etc. [11:14] so that we help take the pressure off ogra and have less stuff rattling around in his head [11:14] what happens now is we start of with status reports and end in a free-for-all [11:14] RichEd, my had isnt the worrying part of my body :) [11:15] I'm glad to know that other people's heads rattle too === RichEd thinks we are getting somewhere ... taking shape better now === miguelon [n=migsol@201.230.187.30] has joined #edubuntu [11:15] I think if we tie the first part to edubuntu-devel discussions [11:15] so we don't have to use the meeting for all tech discussions [11:16] LaserJock: explan that in a few more words [11:16] well === RichEd is slow with a head cold tonight [11:16] when I get to the meeting I feel like I gotta get everything talked about [11:16] because this is the one time in the week when everybody is around [11:16] ogra: LOL [11:16] but really when a topic needs a good discussion it should be moved to the mailing list [11:17] if it can be worked out in a couple minutes fine [11:17] LaserJock: agreed ... but do you think there should be some crossover between the meeting and the mail list [11:17] but I think the tech part would be good to be mostly a : this is what I did this week, this is what I'm doing next week, and this is problems I'm having [11:18] like would it make sense to discuss some of the mail list posts (solutions / unsolved issues) in the meeting [11:18] and if the "problems I'm having" is non-trivial it should go to the mailing list [11:18] well, I would imagine it would go from IRC -> mailing list not the other way around, but it could [11:19] but I think we can handle the tech part in probably 15 min normally [11:19] ^ LaserJock : agreed what I did, and doing etc. but i also think a quick recap of the current place in the 6 month dev cycle would help a lot [11:19] yes [11:19] here is a paste of the significant stages in the cycle: [11:19] I agree too [11:20] my point was that if we are effectively using the mailing list we don't need to use the meeting as a troubleshooting session [11:20] * Toolchain Uploaded [11:20] * Development Summit [11:20] * Specifications must be finalized, translations exported from LP [11:20] * Tribe CD 1 [11:20] * DebianImportFreeze [11:20] * Remaining upstream merges completed, Rebuild Test [11:20] * Tribe CD 2 [11:20] * Server Team Sprint (Mon-Fri) [11:20] * Developer Sprint (Mon-Fri) [11:20] * Tribe CD 3 [11:20] * Tribe CD 4 [11:20] * FeatureFreeze, /!\ UpstreamVersionFreeze , /!\ ArtworkDeadlineOne, /!\ UVF Universe [11:20] * Rebuild Test, Upgrade Testing begins [11:20] * ArtworkDeadlineTwo, /!\ NewPackagesFreezeUniverse [11:20] * Tribe CD 6 [11:20] * StringFreeze [11:20] * BetaFreeze, /!\ GutsyArtworkFinalDeadline [11:20] * Rebuild Test [11:20] * BetaRelease [11:20] * NonLanguagePackTranslationDeadline, /!\ KernelFreeze [11:20] * Rebuild Test [11:20] * ReleaseCandidate, /!\ LanguagePackTranslationDeadline [11:21] * FinalRelease [11:21] * Development Summit [11:21] --- [11:21] it should just be status reports and making sure everything is on track [11:21] so i think a few words from ogra each week about what has passed and what is next would help (1) the process and deadlines and (2) the understanding of a lot of people [11:21] agreed [11:21] so that they understand the cycle [11:21] and the language [11:21] ogra_: agreed with me ? or LaserJock or both [11:22] with you in any case [11:22] hehe [11:22] ok, so, status reports from devs/team leads and then "upcoming deadlines" [11:22] i'd be in favour of a weekly status ... report and update [11:22] i'm not sure about the part of the weekly reports, since thats means to me to do it twice [11:22] ogra_: well, it'll be mostly trivial === Rondom [n=Rondom@p57A95326.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #edubuntu [11:22] so that we have the same weekly template, with a few items updated [11:22] (i am attending the distro team meetings a swell) [11:22] ogra_: I'm not thinking as formal as the Devel Meetings [11:23] ogra_: i'd hope that you can tell us in IRC and someone else do the updates [11:23] LaserJock, right [11:23] what you are doing now mostly [11:23] RichEd, well, i have to mail in my weekly reports anyway... but i'm quite happy thats on an optional base for me atm ... [11:23] it wouldf even be better if we had someone else walk you through the items each week, to make sure all things are convered, and updated [11:24] a secretary :) [11:24] like a secretary ... [11:24] :) [11:24] then minutes become easier to take and publish and more effective [11:24] ok, so is everybody on the same page for the first part? [11:24] yep [11:24] instead of a list of the meeting conversation in all it's glory [11:25] LaserJock: seems to me ... yes [11:25] LaserJock: I agree that we should try to keep the meeting time down to a necessary minimum, and I think the status updates will insure that, but I also see that sometimes, it happens that some developers that do volunteer work might attend a meeting "without warning" and they then need to discuss a certain thing they are working on, and that technical discussion might take up anywhere from 10-30 mins... [11:25] pips1, thats why we have 1h for that :) [11:26] i'm happy to make a wiki page with the proposede agenda (as per these discussions) down for editing / comments, agreement next week [11:26] if we ever find we need more we can do that [11:26] and i'll try to create a weekly status template === ogra_ is now known as ogra [11:26] i'll also act as the secretary for a week or three to get the minutes going === RichEd will *not* sit on ogra's knee while taking notes though [11:27] :( === ogra was hoping for a miniskirt as well :P [11:27] pips1: I think that's what the mailing list is for [11:27] ogra: what size are you ? [11:27] o_O [11:28] I need to run. It was nice meeting all of you. I've enjoyed it. You guys are funny. [11:28] ciao jillc, thanks for dropping by :) [11:28] thanks jillc [11:28] jillc: yes, nice to meet you. Thanks for stepping up to help with art [11:28] chat to you in email soon [11:28] LaserJock: so for part two ... i think we are in agreement as well ... on intention [11:29] part two should be user oriented [11:29] my thought was to based the meetings around the lp groups ... [11:29] trying to get feedback, "How do I get involved?" etc. [11:29] I suggested in my email that we might do a Top 5 user complaints [11:30] LaserJock: yep ... we're i'n agreement ... and the getting involved should be based around a group [11:30] kinda [11:30] my concern is that we don't really have very strong groups [11:30] with tasks listed, and people to mentor / assist etc. [11:30] so we need to build that first [11:30] and conversely, if we have a group in LP with 20 members, and none of them ever attends a meeting, how does that help ? === jillc [n=chatzill@ip68-230-60-106.ph.ph.cox.net] has left #edubuntu [] [11:31] LaserJock: yes, ideally, i agree. but I think there is a "soft" problem with the mailing list... people are more aware that a mailing post reaches a larger audience, so I suspect they hesitate to write about something that is not a bit thought out... but development discussions sometimes are also "informal" and "half baked", so people are more confortable with IRC for that... === miguelon [n=migsol@201.230.187.30] has joined #edubuntu [11:31] and perhaps we also need a LP group to match the mail list ... edubuntu-users [11:32] pips1: kinda, but a meeting is not the place for it either ;-) === RichEd is just throwing out ideas and is happy to be shot down if they do not make sense [11:32] I think we have to many LP groups anyway [11:32] ++ [11:32] forget the groups/teams [11:32] lets focus on people first [11:32] LaserJock: precisely ... so let's cull the dead wood [11:33] (LP groups II mean) [11:33] once we have enough people then they will naturally for teams [11:33] *form [11:33] so to start with I think the second part needs to have two elements: [11:33] 1) giving users a voice [11:33] Laserjock: ok, agreed. I'm all with you that we should be clear what we want to encourage ("idea process"), reality will always differ slightly :-) [11:34] 2) giving people easy things they can do to help out [11:34] *("ideal process") [11:34] pips1: sure, there's always some room for that ;-) but the tech section should really take < 30 min [11:34] LaserJock: i'd say swap the order ... 1) help out discussions ... contributors 2) user voice / discussions [11:34] 5-10 for reports and say 20 for tech discussion [11:35] well, I don't think the order is really that important [11:35] and making a rigid agenda doesn't work all that well [11:35] people should be adding agenda items to the wiki [11:36] it helps them show up when they are responsible for an item [11:36] LaserJock: agreed on wiki agenda [11:36] you just gotta provide enough reason for them to show up in the first place ;-) [11:36] but having sections to prompt ideas is good ... even if no items are filed for any particular week [11:36] sure [11:36] how long would you see the meeting(s) ... [11:37] I think 1.5 hrs [11:37] ogra: doesn't tech take up to an hour around testing time ? [11:37] it can, yes [11:37] 30 min for tech, 1 hr for non-tech [11:37] but thats special time [11:37] LaserJock: why not have 2 meetings 1 hour each [11:37] 1: edubuntu-devel [11:37] because that's an aweful lot for people doing both [11:37] 2\: edubuntu-users [11:38] I'd like to see 1 hr for the whole thing tbh [11:38] LaserJock: who would do both besides the people here, ie ogra, RichEd, possibly you? [11:38] I think many people would want to show up for both [11:38] hmm [11:38] So I think we can structure the part 2 in a way that ogra wold be able to leave after 90 mins [11:38] maybe people wouldn't talk a lot during the first part [11:39] but it's still interesting [11:39] but of course all this can be adjusted [11:39] the last half of part two would be teacher / user / event / project stuff that would not be needed for the tech people [11:39] I'd say start with a sane length then adjust if we're either running out of time constantly or spending 1/2 the time twiddling our thumbs [11:40] and the first half of part one would not be needed for the user people ... [11:40] well, there is overlap ... [11:40] I think it's going to be a fight to get people to show up, honestly [11:40] I don't see a lot of teachers on IRC [11:40] in the mentioned testing times before release i need users to help testing [11:40] but if we split the meeting into 2 and aim at each mailing list for announcements and agenda ... I am sure we would get more users [11:41] for me, the problem is that i'm interested in a tech update, but often the tech goes into a long discussion and then general chatter, and I can hang around for that... just because I really want to be there for the last item "community", and then it turns out that the "community" item get's dropped altogether, because nobody is there anymore... [11:41] ogra: again, the proposal works for that ... the testing requirements are updated with status and deadline in the 1st meeting [11:41] and community users can pick up tasks in part 2 [11:41] which the users dont attend [11:41] pips1: yep, that's why I think we need short tech section with moving non-trivial discussions to mailing list [11:42] ogra: they do not need to understand how you wrote the code they are volunteering to test [11:42] *I can't hang around [11:42] but they want testplans and have questions [11:43] well, there's certainly going to be overlap [11:43] that's why I don't see this as two separate meetings [11:43] i'm fine to attend the second meeting these times [11:43] most people *should* attend both [11:43] but the structure doesnt reflect reality in this case [11:43] ogra; so we can move that sort of testing stuff to the first half of the second meeting [11:43] right, that would be better [11:44] well, the tech discussion should be discussing the tech aspects of the testing, what bugs came up, etc. [11:44] ogra: under : Edubuntu Testers [11:44] the second section should have the "call to test" [11:45] which ogra really shouldn't have to do anyway [11:45] LaserJock, it also needs testing plans etc ... i might miss something that a trivial question from a user points out in a discussuion for example ... i dont want to miss out on that [11:45] well sure [11:45] LaserJock: would you see that every person who tests would attend the tech meeting, or do the user level testers have a way of submitting issues [11:45] so i want the dircet contact to the users during this time [11:46] argg, ok, just a sec [11:46] would it make sense to have a person who coordinates testing [11:46] ? [11:46] in the second section we should have a "call for testing" which is go to the testing website, etc. [11:46] then users should be also able to report problems [11:46] RichEd, testers are normally people who are already "half way" in-between users/newbies and developers/contributors [11:47] RichEd, stgraber and heno do that already [11:47] RichEd: so I suppose testers will attend both anyway... [11:47] RichEd, testing plans should be outlined in the specs already [11:47] hmm, I think we should focus on the topics rather than the people here [11:47] we should see that we have this in gutsy+1 === SimonAnibal [n=sruiz@pool-71-97-143-128.aubnin.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #edubuntu [11:47] people should come and go whenever [11:48] the point is to group like topics to make it easier for people and to keep things to a sane time limit [11:48] ogra: do the testers fill out a test plan status on the wiki somwhere ... or via email ? [11:48] https://isotesting.stgraber.org/ [11:49] and considering that we usually have <10 people show up to meetings, I don't think we need to put so much effort into this, tbh [11:49] https://iso.qa.stgraber.org/isotesting/build/Edubuntu is our piece of the pie there [11:50] testers for edubuntu (besides ogra, of course) have been 1-3 people in the past... [11:50] no? [11:50] yep [11:51] well would we be able to swell those numbers if the process became easier to understand and more accessible ? [11:51] back to the bite size chunks theory [11:51] i dont think so [11:51] not really [11:51] the process is already pretty darn easy [11:51] and generally, if somebody decides to do testing for a certain release, they will commit to do their testing seriously, at least during "crunch time" [11:51] you need the will to test ... there are no process changes that can change that === t94xr [n=gta@60-234-159-7.bitstream.orcon.net.nz] has joined #edubuntu [11:52] motivating more people to get more and faster test results would be cool though [11:52] but tat lies in the advertisement realm ... not in the process [11:53] I think people decided to do some testing for a certain release, because they want to deploy that release or some reason, but then they might not do testing for the next release, but perhaps a later one further down the line... [11:53] right [11:54] as LaserJock said, people come and go [11:55] okay ... getting late and my battery is running down ... can i suggest that we ask LaserJock to do a wiki page with his agenda views ... and i'll add my 2c and so can anyone else ... [11:55] I agree with ogra that it would be cool do have more people to do testing towards the end of the cycle... even just having 5-10 people testing one education app each would be great... [11:55] if he likes to :) [11:55] pips1, yep, but thats neeeds more noise in the wild [11:55] i'm happy to take the mail laser sent and extract that onto a wiki page [11:56] I'll do it, but I expect people to put in their $0.02USD [11:56] and we can send each agenda to the mailing list(s) for comment [11:56] RichEd: I'd rather go from what we've discussed and redo. that email was a little ...scattered ;-) [11:56] and agree on a loose plan next week ... which we can test for the rest of july [11:56] LaserJock, i'd only have 0.02 .... but thats worth more :) [11:56] ogra: I'll take it [11:56] :) [11:57] I think we already have quite a bit of common ground [11:57] i think mailing an invite to the mail lists got a few more people to attend tonight ... so if we keep up the noise and debate ... hopefully we'll attract more spectators [11:57] BLOG [11:57] ++ [11:57] and then we convert the spectators into playas [11:57] it's amazing how many people read Planet Ubuntu [11:57] and I can probably do some Fridge action as well [11:58] tell me..ill be there [11:58] i did that back in breezy and dapper time (mailing announcements) ... somehow it grew over my head === miguelon [n=migsol@201.230.187.30] has joined #edubuntu [11:58] yeah [11:58] we just need a secretary for ogra [11:58] right ... pumpkin' time for me ... 12 bells about to strike ... [11:58] RichEd, EC ? [11:59] we need three memebers to approve ppl [11:59] anyone here who has applied for edubuntu-members ? [11:59] 1. ca. 30 mins *tight dev status report* plus 15-30 mins "reserve" dev (including testing stuff in testing crunch time) 2. newbie friendly stuff (We should really find a way to tackle the "bite size" idea that LaserJock has been talking about for ages ;-) [11:59] RichEd, seems not ... [12:00] sooo .... [12:00] email the people that have email address in LP [12:00] going once [12:00] LaserJock, i thought that happened .... [12:00] and reject those that don't with a message that they need to contact us [12:00] going twice [12:00] ogra: we get a lot of applicants for edubuntu-members via LP ... who we have never met in IRC or email [12:00] I didn't know if it did or not, I thought perhaps not? [12:00] should we better explain somewhere (in LP) what is needed / expected ? [12:01] yes, but we need the CC for that [12:01] EC is owned by CC IIRC :) [12:01] damned, found no acronym for is owned :P === highvoltage [n=highvolt@broadband-196-1-61-45.amobia.co.za] has joined #edubuntu [12:02] hehe [12:02] hey highvoltage [12:02] anyway, lets finish this meeting officially now :) === RichEd is confused again ... what group does the EC approve ? [12:02] RichEd, edubuntu members [12:02] which are a part of ubuntu members [12:03] the kubuntu council approves kubuntu members [12:03] which are as well a part of ubuntu members [12:03] and to recap ... we said that edubuntu (the group) was reduntant [12:03] ? [12:03] ubuntu members are owned by the CC [12:03] right [12:03] and i'm happy to close on that note ... [12:03] goin thrice [12:03] BOING [12:04] thanks ... [12:04] \o_ [12:04] LaserJock: i'll mail you a wiki page for the agenda [12:04] RichEd: when can I catch you on IRC in the next days? === ogra cant lift the left arm ... to tired already [12:04] pips1: i'll be around tomorrow ... if my head-cold goes away tonight ... [12:05] even if i am in away mode, i [12:05] 'll check for pings [12:05] ok, I'll try to catch you tomorrow, then. Sleep well! [12:05] night all [12:05] night === ogra goes as well === miguelon [n=migsol@201.230.187.30] has joined #edubuntu [12:06] RichEd: ok, thanks === miguelon [n=migsol@201.230.187.30] has joined #edubuntu === jinty [n=jinty@221.Red-83-56-141.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #edubuntu
