| nubae | so being a member of edubuntu bugsquad means one gets all bug reports from a seed in edubuntu :-) | 00:04 |
|---|---|---|
| nubae | straight to one's email box | 00:04 |
| nubae | love it | 00:04 |
| LaserJock | well, we have to specify the packages, but yeah | 00:05 |
| nubae | I suppose its the only way to keep updated | 00:05 |
| LaserJock | they don't change all that often | 00:06 |
| LaserJock | so it generally works | 00:06 |
| nothingman | sorry, had to leave the library | 00:58 |
| nothingman | now I'm home and on to stay | 00:58 |
| nothingman | so where's that list of tasks? | 00:58 |
| LaserJock | nothingman: we're still building it: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/Devel/RoadMap | 00:59 |
| LaserJock | nothingman: what kinds of things are you interested in? | 00:59 |
| nubae | but for one, we could do with adding recommended apps in particular areas to the edubuntu wiki | 01:00 |
| nubae | with a comparison to what one would normally use under windows and what the replacement app is under linux | 01:00 |
| LaserJock | right | 01:01 |
| nubae | I think we really need to target price concsious windows users looking for alternatives | 01:01 |
| nubae | thats why I think wubi is important on the cd too | 01:02 |
| nothingman | whose site is titled, "Careful with that axe, Eugene!"? | 01:02 |
| nubae | ? | 01:02 |
| LaserJock | nothingman: that's sbalneav's | 01:02 |
| nubae | ah :-) | 01:02 |
| nothingman | gotcha | 01:06 |
| nothingman | have any of you heard of the Syracuse, NY company making "Fiddlehead" machines? | 01:08 |
| nothingman | basically multiseat Linux with a python script to load VirtualBox with any OS inside | 01:08 |
| LaserJock | I've not heard of that | 01:10 |
| nothingman | now that I'm home, I got one of the laptops so I could enter the serial number on nexlink's web site | 01:13 |
| nothingman | "no downloads found" is the only reply I get for typing it in | 01:13 |
| nothingman | does anyone know who makes the H2Insyde BIOSes? my laptops use it, and some netbooks do | 01:14 |
| nothingman | the Acer Aspire One, for instance | 01:16 |
| LaserJock | nothingman: I don't, do you have an Aspire One? | 01:27 |
| nothingman | no, but I work at RadioShack, and we have one there | 01:34 |
| nothingman | so I've been studying it like mad | 01:34 |
| LaserJock | cool | 01:35 |
| nothingman | oh, never mind | 01:35 |
| nothingman | the stupid logo has a circle | 01:36 |
| nothingman | it's also out of order | 01:36 |
| nothingman | I thought maybe it was h2o insyde | 01:36 |
| nothingman | it's "insyde h2o" | 01:36 |
| LaserJock | I've been reading Christopher Dawsons ZDNet Education blog | 01:37 |
| LaserJock | he just got one | 01:37 |
| LaserJock | http://education.zdnet.com/?p=2018 | 01:37 |
| nubae | I tested a couple of them for olpc.at | 01:38 |
| nubae | runs ubuntu real fast and works wonderfully with sugar | 01:38 |
| nubae | best netbook on the market right now | 01:38 |
| LaserJock | nubae: have you tried the Dell Mini 9 as well? | 01:39 |
| nubae | nope... | 01:39 |
| nothingman | nice | 01:55 |
| nothingman | so, I installed Ubuntu LTSP from the Alternative disk | 02:30 |
| nothingman | onto an older Dell | 02:30 |
| nothingman | plenty of RAM, Intel graphics | 02:30 |
| nothingman | it freezes when I log in | 02:33 |
| nothingman | any thoughts | 02:33 |
| LaserJock | nothingman: on the client or on the server? | 02:37 |
| nothingman | on the server, actually | 02:50 |
| LaserJock | hmm, that doesn't sound good | 02:51 |
| LaserJock | you might google around a bit for the Dell model and ask #ubuntu | 02:52 |
| LaserJock | i gotta run though so I'm not much help :( | 02:52 |
| nothingman | no prob | 02:52 |
| nothingman | was nice chatting! | 02:52 |
| nothingman | my email's joshuaalm AT liamg.moc | 02:53 |
| nothingman | I know the bot's working, so... | 02:53 |

| nubae1 | :-) | 17:00 |
| LaserJock | I thought it was going to be in like 4 hours, don't know what I was thinking | 17:01 |
| sbalneav | LaserJock: Here? Or in #ubuntu-meeting | 17:04 |
| LaserJock | in #ubuntu-meeting | 17:04 |
| LaserJock | so it gets logged there | 17:04 |
| * LaserJock frantically trying to finish the strategy doc | 17:08 | |
| LaserJock | everybody ready for the meeting? | 18:02 |
| nubae1 | yup | 18:03 |
| sbalneav | LaserJock: Ready, willing and able | 18:07 |
| LaserJock | ok everybody ---> #ubuntu-meeting | 18:08 |
| LaserJock | RichEd: ping | 18:11 |

| Ahmuck | meeting now ? | 18:47 |
| Ahmuck | here ? | 18:47 |
| LaserJock | in #ubuntu-meeting | 18:47 |
| LaserJock | alkisg: ^^ | 18:47 |
| alkisg | Ah, right, thanks! :) | 18:47 |
| LaserJock | I'm gonna have to go mostly IRC-silent for a while | 19:59 |
| LaserJock | I really really gotta get this dissertation done and IRC is a wonderful time sink | 20:00 |
| LaserJock | I'll be in good email contact though | 20:01 |
| LaserJock | nubae: this is part of my "get edubuntu-devel jumpstarted" plan ;-) | 20:01 |
| Ahmuck | sorry, i had to step away | 21:11 |
| Ahmuck | from the meeting | 21:11 |
| LaserJock | calimer: you around? | 21:19 |
| calimer | yep, hi! | 21:19 |
| LaserJock | calimer: I'm just watching the Sandbox youtube tutorial | 21:20 |
| LaserJock | very nifty stuff | 21:20 |
| calimer | ah awesome | 21:20 |
| calimer | btw we have an edubuntu version just sitting and waiting | 21:20 |
| LaserJock | a package? | 21:20 |
| calimer | I really want it in there but the person packaging it is taking a while | 21:20 |
| calimer | this is a version that meets debian free standards | 21:21 |
| LaserJock | do you know if the person was able to get a package onto REVU? | 21:21 |
| calimer | they just have been "busy" I guess, for some time | 21:21 |
| calimer | I think you gave me a bunch of recommendations previously that I wrote down as far as people that might help package it | 21:22 |
| calimer | I need to track them down | 21:22 |
| calimer | I have personally used it to teach in various schools and the kids LOVE it, and this is elementary kids to college | 21:22 |
| LaserJock | cool yeah, let's target getting that into Universe for Jaunty | 21:23 |
| calimer | if you check out the sandbox interview there is some work from the kids at the summer camp | 21:23 |
| Ahmuck | link to video ? | 21:23 |
| calimer | I don't know what that means but I'm on board! | 21:23 |
| calimer | here is the tutorial | 21:24 |
| calimer | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g44Ww2bg2_E | 21:24 |
| LaserJock | Feature Freeze is Feburary 19th so we need a package a bit before then | 21:24 |
| calimer | and here is the interview | 21:24 |
| calimer | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WztnXKda4fI | 21:24 |
| calimer | if you have any specific e-mail addresses I can hit I will send it out today | 21:24 |
| calimer | as a note I started working on this for kids that were in my after school program at an elementary school | 21:25 |
| calimer | so for me the reward really is just getting it to the kids | 21:25 |
| LaserJock | calimer: basically we need to get the package up for review by the MOTU before the 19th, preferably at least a week before | 21:25 |
| calimer | well I have the zip just sitting there, it just needs to be packaged | 21:25 |
| calimer | and maybe 2.3 can get packaged in the non free version? | 21:25 |
| sbalneav | LaserJock: You pingied me? | 21:25 |
| LaserJock | sbalneav: yeah, just wanted to catch up | 21:26 |
| calimer | or repo i mean | 21:26 |
| sbalneav | I'm at work atm, you gonna be on tonight? | 21:26 |
| LaserJock | calimer: how non-free is it? can we distribute it freely? | 21:26 |
| LaserJock | sbalneav: yeah | 21:26 |
| calimer | 2.3 has some content that doesn't fit the debian free license | 21:27 |
| calimer | but yeah you can distribute it freely | 21:27 |
| LaserJock | ok, then I think that should be ok for Multiverse | 21:27 |
| calimer | I also came across an awesome site recently that has all debian free textures | 21:27 |
| calimer | so I want to update the debian free version with those textures if I can | 21:27 |
| LaserJock | I would suggest first doing the free one, then the non-free version should be pretty easy | 21:28 |
| calimer | openfootage.net I think for anyone else | 21:28 |
| calimer | is there anyone you know that you think would do it? | 21:28 |
| calimer | the packages from my end are all set | 21:28 |
| LaserJock | let me poke #ubuntu-motu a little | 21:28 |
| calimer | but they need to be converted into the linux packaging deal that I don't know much about | 21:28 |
| calimer | I should probably update the code database for the free one at some point | 21:29 |
| calimer | it might take some time though | 21:29 |
| LaserJock | calimer: do you have a download link for your dfsg-free version? | 21:46 |
| LaserJock | calimer: is it possible to create the free version from your regular version? | 21:46 |
| calimer | not a public one but yeah its on my webpage, let me grab the link | 21:47 |
| calimer | its kinda old codebase wise | 21:47 |
| calimer | but I don't know how long it would take me to update it | 21:48 |
| calimer | and this is a lot better than nothing | 21:48 |
| calimer | and anyone if they really like it they can just get the 2.3 version :D | 21:48 |
| calimer | http://platinumarts.net/sandboxlite2.1TEST1.zip | 21:48 |
| LaserJock | now this version pretty much is just missing "content" stuff, right? | 21:50 |
| calimer | yeah it basically has all the non debian free content removed | 21:51 |
| calimer | and it is an older codebase | 21:51 |
| LaserJock | so Sauerbraten and Cube2 source is debian free? | 21:52 |
| calimer | yeah zlib | 21:52 |
| calimer | for some reason that version that page seems like it is dated much older than it should be | 21:53 |
| calimer | er | 21:53 |
| calimer | that file I mean | 21:53 |
| calimer | but I'm pretty sure that's where I put the updated version | 21:53 |
| calimer | I had to update the license to meet all the good ol debian free stuff | 21:54 |
| calimer | and had some help | 21:54 |
| LaserJock | there's still some stuff that we might need to take care of | 21:55 |
| calimer | yeah that's fine I'm willing to do whatever | 21:56 |
| LaserJock | how do I build this thing? :-) | 21:58 |
| calimer | there is a makefile | 21:59 |
| calimer | in src | 22:00 |
| LaserJock | ok right, I see it | 22:01 |
| LaserJock | calimer: you might want to email ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com | 22:04 |
| calimer | okay | 22:04 |
| LaserJock | I'd love to package this up for you but I really just don't have time unfortunately | 22:04 |
| calimer | how long does it usually take? | 22:04 |
| LaserJock | that varies tremendously | 22:04 |
| LaserJock | from real fast to ..... forever :-) | 22:05 |
| LaserJock | but I'll try to put some pressure on it ;-) | 22:05 |
| calimer | I just want to get it out to the gremlins :) | 22:05 |
| LaserJock | yeah | 22:05 |
| calimer | I get to watch them use it first hand and see how happy they get, both boys and girls | 22:05 |
| calimer | so it is really rewarding to hear about other kids enjoying it too | 22:06 |
| calimer | going to put that message to the ubuntu list on the todo | 22:06 |
| calimer | I think if I can update the codebase that'd be awesome | 22:07 |
| calimer | even if it has textures that aren't super pretty at least it has all the features | 22:07 |
| calimer | and people can always add in their own easily | 22:07 |
| calimer | relatively easily anyway :D | 22:07 |
| LaserJock | well, getting something in helps | 22:08 |
| LaserJock | people can try it out, get excited, etc. | 22:08 |
| calimer | yeah and even just check out the videos | 22:08 |
| LaserJock | even if it's slightly outdated to start with | 22:08 |
| LaserJock | it's fairly easy to update things | 22:09 |
| calimer | yeah people were into much older versions of what was in that code | 22:09 |
| calimer | especially if we can make it obvious that 2.3 also exists | 22:09 |
| calimer | my local library is interested too and I want to try to get it in the local museum because it can be used to recreate historical landscapes | 22:11 |
| calimer | people could take a 3D tour through historical sites | 22:11 |
