ograsbalneav, yeah05:28
ograyou added some m4 stuff ...05:28
sbalneavThat's probably the gettext stuff05:28
sbalneavWell, I ran gettextize on the source dir05:28
sbalneavThat's what the tutorials recommended, but I noticed that nothing else has a po, but there's one big po for the whole tree.05:29
sbalneavSo maybe I don't need that stuff05:29
sbalneavIf so, back out the m4 changes, and ditch ldm's po dir.05:30
sbalneavThis is my first gettext, so I've probably done it wrong.05:30
sbalneavogra: That something you could do for me?05:35
ograsbalneav, sorry i'm in the middle of an important meeting, how long are you around ?05:38
sbalneavabout 5 more minutes :(05:38

RichEdif highvoltage can't assist or is too busy, i'll bug them again ...09:17
highvoltagehey pips1 and RichEd09:17
RichEdhiey highvoltage09:17
pips1hi highvoltage09:17
highvoltagepips1: how does your schedule look like the upcoming weekend?09:17
RichEdseeing as it is a "security patch" request on a canonical server, i would assume that they should step up to the bar09:18
highvoltagepips1: and will you want to do something directly after the upgrade?09:18
highvoltageI could do the upgrade Friday afternoon/evening, it won't be a problem09:18
RichEdpips1: and another thing ... that RH post article was very very interesting09:18
highvoltageRichEd: I agree with you. I'm willing to give them a *little* leeway though, since they are quire loaded at the moment as a result of the recent outage.09:18
highvoltageRichEd: ironically, if it wasn't for us, that server would still be on Breezy too09:19
RichEdit fits with exactly what I am trying to get Dell and HP to "buy into"09:19
highvoltageRichEd: and it runs things like fridge, ms's blog, etc09:19
highvoltageRichEd: and it would've been compromised too09:19
RichEdi.e. a recommended and tested and certified LTSP solution09:19
highvoltagethat would be quite cool.09:19
pips1highvoltage: thanks for offering to help out... but really, I should also be able to do the work.. it's just silly to leave the workload to you, since you already handed the baton over to me a long time ago... grumble09:19
RichEdand the article also gives a good indication of the management tools that the clients would want to see in Edubuntu LTSP Server09:20
RichEd--09:20
highvoltagepips1: indeed. I think I'll upgrade this time, and then for drupal 5.3, we make sure that you'll have everything you need to do it09:20
RichEdhighvoltage: thanks for the offer to help ...09:20
RichEdhighvoltage: there was a post a few mins ago from Joey on an upgrade issue re fridge ...09:21
=== RichEd goes to dig it out
highvoltagepips1: Znarl is quite helpful, he caves quickly to pressure ;)09:21
highvoltagepips1: I'll do some pesting, it should work09:21

RichEdSome Fridge news for the Editing team:09:21
RichEd1) We're looking at upgrading the existing Drupal installation from09:21
RichEd4.3 to 6.0 once 6.0 is out.09:21
RichEd<endquote>09:21
highvoltageRichEd: shew09:22
RichEddid your comment above mean that edubuntu.org runs on the same drupal install or same box as the fridge, or were you talking about the ubuntu version ?09:22
pips1highvoltage: i mean, it really just takes a simple change on the filesystem (i.e. assign the drupal folder to the 'edubuntu' group, which i'm part of) ...09:22
highvoltageRichEd: it runs on the same box09:23
RichEdand the same instance ? or a seperate install09:23
RichEd(of drupal)09:23
highvoltagesepereate drupal install09:24
RichEdokay09:24
pips1I think they are separate drupal installations... they didn't use the 'multisite' installation feature of drupal, afaik09:24
highvoltagewell, I just popped in for a quick hello, goodnight RichEd and pips1. I'll be around, so ping me if there's anything else I can help get going.09:27
pips1RichEd: your above comments relate to the mail discussion thread on the fedora-education-list i sent you?09:27

pips1don't worry, I'm joking09:35
pips1as a random side-note, the programmer at my office is already working on his second drupal client project and he can't stop to rave about drupal09:36
RichEdpips1: it is interesting in that fedora education post that even with the RH certification and support from Dell that Dell have not "configured and blessed" a K12LTSP server09:36
RichEdeven though the clients are desperately asking09:36
LaserJockdid you guys see System76 was selling Edubuntu servers?09:36

pips1Hardware Warranty... hmm. what about software support...?09:40
pips1LaserJock: indeed!09:40
