| sahil | where can i find a list of the packages edubuntu has selected for its educational packages/games list? | 06:43 |
| johnny_ | good question, but you're going to prolly have to wait til USA/Europe daytime to get an answer | 06:49 |
| johnny_ | if it's not on the edubuntu site | 06:49 |
| RichEd | === edubuntu meeting in #ubuntu-meeting = 2 mins time === | 11:59 |
| cliebow__ | johnny: you said you were having trouble with megaraid crapping out..so not even reboot wiil work without input/output errors? | 13:00 |

| pips1 | combining UDS and UES makes sense somehow, in as such that UDS has a nice "buzz" and that teachers, edu stakeholders, etc have a chance to meet the "geeks" that actually build the software? | 13:38 |
| pips1 | but the UES should definitely have it's own programme | 13:38 |
| ogra | yes, especially now that edu needs have to be fulfilled by the distro team and not the edubuntu team alone | 13:38 |
| ogra | so its essential to have the right specs in place for the distro | 13:39 |
| ogra | triggered by the edu users | 13:39 |
| ogra | which means for me that two days in advance would make most sense | 13:39 |
| ogra | anyway, coffeee | 13:39 |
| pips1 | also, I thought UDS in Seville was fantastic, since we visited the guadalinex school and management center... lots of non-edu ubunteros came along for that visit... | 13:41 |
| RichEd | pips1 & ogra: sabdfl said that he had heard feedback from some teaching people that edubuntu etc. is sometimes driven too much by tech ideas, and not in consultation with teachers feedback & requirements | 13:41 |
| pips1 | sure | 13:41 |
| RichEd | so it may make sense (my general thinking) to have an edu summit which is more hadns on testing & workshop & feedback based | 13:42 |
| RichEd | rather than us pitching success stories, or new tech features | 13:42 |
| RichEd | trying to create a pool of people who will review our releases from their usage perspective, and not an install and maintain point of view | 13:43 |
| RichEd | i am still trying to think this through | 13:43 |
| pips1 | I think that's a problem with most software, but with edu it's particularly striking | 13:43 |
| pips1 | RichEd: I like what you propose very much! | 13:43 |
| pips1 | The success story pitching should be done at the equivalent of 'ubuntu live' con... | 13:44 |
| RichEd | so I was thinking that we could "manage a summit: how to get maximum access to computing resources for your budget" | 13:45 |
| pips1 | UES should be workshops indeed | 13:45 |
| RichEd | (which is of interest to government funders etc.) | 13:45 |
| RichEd | and open source is obviously the first step in cost saving | 13:45 |
| RichEd | and base the hands on workshops on edubuntu ] | 13:45 |
| RichEd | ... then get feedback from the participants on their experience, and also wow the windows users with the quality and scope of edubuntu apps & tols | 13:46 |
| RichEd | If the summit is pitched as a maximal gearing of limited IT budget ... it may be easier for attendees to justify sponsorship by their own organisations | 13:47 |
| RichEd | rather than attending a "product" summit | 13:47 |
| pips1 | hmm, interesting | 13:47 |
| pips1 | this needs more thinking / discussing... but I really need to attend work now :-/ | 13:48 |
| RichEd | me too :) | 13:48 |
| RichEd | keep the basic idea in mind ... we can chat again | 13:48 |
| pips1 | anyway, I'll try to keep the tentative dates for UDS free in my schedule, just in case | 13:48 |
| pips1 | I'll be doing the "technology tour" in silicon valley again, mid may, I hope that won't collide... | 13:50 |
| pips1 | highvoltage: ping | 14:28 |
| pips1 | highvoltage: I add two bug reports for the new theme: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/edubuntu-website/+bugs so we don't forget... | 14:29 |
| pips1 | RichEd: If you mail me a news announcement about educonlinux, I'd be happy to post it on the edubuntu.org site | 14:31 |
| pips1 | ok, got to go... cu! | 14:31 |

| joe___ | How can I tell my network name? I am trying to add a new workstation to a network | 15:08 |
| ludoRA | *$ | 15:30 |
| joe___ | Is there a doc for not-so-thin-clients? | 15:34 |
| cliebow__ | ?? | 15:40 |
| joe___ | cliebow__ ---> Clients that have disks and software of their own but share permissions and have a network /home | 15:41 |
| cliebow__ | joe___, so perhaps an ldapserver with nfs mounted homedir? | 15:47 |
| joe___ | yes. | 15:48 |
| joe___ | perhaps. | 15:48 |
| joe___ | ldapserver.... hmm..... | 15:48 |
| joe___ | is there an auto-config for this in edubuntu or is this customization? | 15:48 |
| cliebow__ | there is an smbldap-installer moquist wrote.. | 15:49 |
| joe___ | maybe this is already set up here. what would be a quick way to find out? | 15:51 |
| joe___ | i haven't been able to figure out the user situation of this network. | 15:51 |
| joe___ | maybe that's it | 15:51 |
| cliebow__ | you con look in /etc/pam.d..at the common* scripts..and see if ldap is enabled | 15:52 |
| joe___ | I don't see anything about it. | 15:53 |
| cliebow__ | some use nis..that is ancient these days | 15:54 |
| joe___ | I want the simplest and most functional =) | 15:54 |
| joe___ | is ldap really the best way to share users on a network? | 15:54 |
| cliebow__ | i am no expert..if you are in a domain with windows users i feel it is the way to go | 15:55 |

| secretlondon | Hi | 23:24 |
| kgoetz | hi | 23:25 |
| secretlondon | When is the deadline for hardy edubuntu? The newest version of tuxpaint hasn't been synced as the debian dev hasn't packaged yet | 23:25 |
| secretlondon | we'd obviously love it to get into hardy as it's lts | 23:26 |
| kgoetz | i doubt anything thats yet unpackaged would make it into an LTS | 23:26 |
| secretlondon | well 0.9.17 is in gutsy, it just needs updating | 23:27 |
| secretlondon | i've made a ppa of the stamps but i'm aware we're in main.. | 23:27 |
| crimsun | secretlondon: have you corresponded with the Debian maintainer(s)? | 23:29 |
| secretlondon | crimsun: we've tried to talk to him. he subscribes to our -dev mailing list but he's not responding | 23:29 |
| secretlondon | our lead dev has asked me to investigate | 23:29 |
| crimsun | secretlondon: what period has elapsed since you asked him? | 23:37 |
| crimsun | (sorry, busy across a few channels here) | 23:37 |
| secretlondon | crimsun: before xmas | 23:37 |
| secretlondon | there has been a bug since nov too | 23:37 |
| crimsun | secretlondon: ok, so across the holiday period, which I think is normal | 23:37 |
| secretlondon | is it worth me trying to package it, or should we chase him? | 23:38 |
| crimsun | ok, so we're talking about 0.9.18? | 23:38 |
| secretlondon | 0.9.18+CVS as there is a bug fix in CVS | 23:38 |
| secretlondon | we've released a tarball of 0.9.18CVS | 23:39 |
| crimsun | hmm, is there any way it could be repackaged as 0.9.18.1 or 0.9.18a or the like? | 23:41 |
| crimsun | otherwise we'd have to resort to date buffoonery in the version string | 23:41 |
| secretlondon | Bug #173293 is a bug asking for the new version | 23:41 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 173293 in tuxpaint "Tuxpaint 0.9.18 with new useful features was released at November - please update packages" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/173293 | 23:41 |
| secretlondon | crimsun: no problem. I'll ask bill to rename the tarball | 23:42 |
