| PrivateVoid | hello - anyone home? | 00:12 |
|---|---|---|
| LaserJock | PrivateVoid: what's up? | 00:13 |
| PrivateVoid | just curious what the status of the project on this page is -- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/education | 00:13 |
| LaserJock | PrivateVoid: have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/education | 00:14 |
| PrivateVoid | is that the same as the link I posted? | 00:15 |
| LaserJock | not the same, no | 00:15 |
| LaserJock | but I think that's perhaps what is being talked about on that page | 00:16 |
| PrivateVoid | yeah... to a certain extent... | 00:17 |
| PrivateVoid | I was hoping to see some specific blueprints for deploying Linux (Ubuntu) in a K-12 environment | 00:17 |
| PrivateVoid | how to replace Windows / OS X | 00:18 |
| PrivateVoid | how to replace AD / OD / NDS | 00:18 |
| LaserJock | that's sort of a hard thing to give blueprints for | 00:19 |
| LaserJock | as there are a lot of ways to do those things | 00:19 |
| PrivateVoid | hard or not... we need to develop a few rough blueprints IMHO | 00:20 |
| LaserJock | sure | 00:20 |
| PrivateVoid | there may be a few hundred ways to do it, but we need to lay that out so K-12 institutions can attempt to do it | 00:20 |
| LaserJock | right | 00:20 |
| PrivateVoid | i did not know if people were working on that or not... | 00:20 |
| LaserJock | off hand the best thing i can think of is asking the edubuntu-users mailing list | 00:21 |
| LaserJock | not currently that I know of unfortunately | 00:21 |
| PrivateVoid | I intend to travel down that road in the next 6-12 months and if people are not working on it I can take some extra time to document more completely my experiences and results | 00:21 |
| LaserJock | I'm sure that people would both love to see that and would probably love to help you along | 00:22 |
| PrivateVoid | awesome | 00:25 |
| PrivateVoid | I am a Sys Admin for a K-12 and budget constraints finally have the bean counters paying attention to my discussion of FOSS | 00:26 |
| LaserJock | PrivateVoid: I would ask on edubuntu-users first though | 00:26 |
| LaserJock | I know some people have been doing a fair amount of documentation | 00:26 |
| LaserJock | but I don't think I've seen a complete "blueprint" as you're talking about | 00:26 |
| PrivateVoid | I will ask... thanks... | 00:29 |
| PrivateVoid | you are talking about the mailing list - right? | 00:29 |
| LaserJock | yes | 00:29 |
| LaserJock | that's a lot better than asking just me :-) | 00:29 |
| PrivateVoid | Yet, you have been very helpful and I am most appreciative | 00:32 |
| LaserJock | no problem | 00:33 |
| LaserJock | I very much appreciate you being interested | 00:33 |
| LaserJock | we are sorely lacking "manpower" | 00:33 |
| LaserJock | so any help is very much welcome | 00:33 |
| Ahmuck | this is the same issue i've encountered | 00:42 |
| Ahmuck | to gain wide adoptions "it just has to work" (tm) | 00:43 |
| PrivateVoid | Ahmuck, it doesn't just have to work... | 00:48 |
| PrivateVoid | but it can not be vodoo science with no 'best practice' | 00:49 |
| PrivateVoid | there is a large chasm between the two | 00:49 |
| sbalneav | Morning all | 15:13 |
| Ahmuck | *streches* ... good morning | 15:23 |
| * PrivateVoid waves | 17:42 | |
| HedgeMage | hi :) | 17:55 |
| * Ahmuck bugs nubae | 17:56 | |
| PrivateVoid | hello Ahmuck and HedgeMage | 18:09 |
| PrivateVoid | HedgeMage, I have some potions you might be interested in :-) | 18:10 |
| HedgeMage | greetings, PrivateVoid | 18:10 |
| HedgeMage | lol | 18:10 |
| PrivateVoid | you still do any roleplaying? | 18:10 |
| HedgeMage | Not really -- this isn't a good location for getting a group together. Most of my friends are a significant drive out of town. | 18:11 |
| PrivateVoid | I know the feeling... | 18:11 |
| HedgeMage | I may consider getting an ED game together after I move, but that depends on how much time I have, and what else I'd like to spend it on. | 18:11 |
| PrivateVoid | after roleplaying was such a large part of my life (for entertainment) I no longer play... | 18:11 |
| PrivateVoid | started in 1976 and played my final game five years ago... been thinking of doing a mud or some such | 18:12 |
| HedgeMage | I don't know that it was ever a huge part of my life...I played a bit in college, then got more into it after I started a family -- it was a good, cheap form of entertainment that I could enjoy at home with the munchkin around. | 18:13 |
| HedgeMage | Though, my nick actually isn't an RP reference... it's a reference to my being self-taught at many things. | 18:13 |
| PrivateVoid | like so many of us... I am self-taught as well. | 18:14 |
| HedgeMage | :) | 18:14 |
