[00:12] hello - anyone home? [00:13] PrivateVoid: what's up? [00:13] just curious what the status of the project on this page is -- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/education [00:14] PrivateVoid: have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/education [00:15] is that the same as the link I posted? [00:15] not the same, no [00:16] but I think that's perhaps what is being talked about on that page [00:17] yeah... to a certain extent... [00:17] I was hoping to see some specific blueprints for deploying Linux (Ubuntu) in a K-12 environment [00:18] how to replace Windows / OS X [00:18] how to replace AD / OD / NDS [00:19] that's sort of a hard thing to give blueprints for [00:19] as there are a lot of ways to do those things [00:20] hard or not... we need to develop a few rough blueprints IMHO [00:20] sure [00:20] 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] right [00:20] i did not know if people were working on that or not... [00:21] off hand the best thing i can think of is asking the edubuntu-users mailing list [00:21] not currently that I know of unfortunately [00:21] 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 [00:22] I'm sure that people would both love to see that and would probably love to help you along [00:25] awesome [00:26] 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] PrivateVoid: I would ask on edubuntu-users first though [00:26] I know some people have been doing a fair amount of documentation [00:26] but I don't think I've seen a complete "blueprint" as you're talking about [00:29] I will ask... thanks... [00:29] you are talking about the mailing list - right? [00:29] yes [00:29] that's a lot better than asking just me :-) [00:32] Yet, you have been very helpful and I am most appreciative [00:33] no problem [00:33] I very much appreciate you being interested [00:33] we are sorely lacking "manpower" [00:33] so any help is very much welcome [00:42] this is the same issue i've encountered [00:43] to gain wide adoptions "it just has to work" (tm) [00:48] Ahmuck, it doesn't just have to work... [00:49] but it can not be vodoo science with no 'best practice' [00:49] there is a large chasm between the two [15:13] Morning all [15:23] *streches* ... good morning [17:42] * PrivateVoid waves [17:55] hi :) [17:56] * Ahmuck bugs nubae [18:09] hello Ahmuck and HedgeMage [18:10] HedgeMage, I have some potions you might be interested in :-) [18:10] greetings, PrivateVoid [18:10] lol [18:10] you still do any roleplaying? [18:11] 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] I know the feeling... [18:11] 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] after roleplaying was such a large part of my life (for entertainment) I no longer play... [18:12] started in 1976 and played my final game five years ago... been thinking of doing a mud or some such [18:13] 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] Though, my nick actually isn't an RP reference... it's a reference to my being self-taught at many things. [18:14] like so many of us... I am self-taught as well.
