[00:04] so being a member of edubuntu bugsquad means one gets all bug reports from a seed in edubuntu :-) [00:04] straight to one's email box [00:04] love it [00:05] well, we have to specify the packages, but yeah [00:05] I suppose its the only way to keep updated [00:06] they don't change all that often [00:06] so it generally works [00:58] sorry, had to leave the library [00:58] now I'm home and on to stay [00:58] so where's that list of tasks? [00:59] nothingman: we're still building it: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/Devel/RoadMap [00:59] nothingman: what kinds of things are you interested in? [01:00] but for one, we could do with adding recommended apps in particular areas to the edubuntu wiki [01:00] with a comparison to what one would normally use under windows and what the replacement app is under linux [01:01] right [01:01] I think we really need to target price concsious windows users looking for alternatives [01:02] thats why I think wubi is important on the cd too [01:02] whose site is titled, "Careful with that axe, Eugene!"? [01:02] ? [01:02] nothingman: that's sbalneav's [01:02] ah :-) [01:06] gotcha [01:08] have any of you heard of the Syracuse, NY company making "Fiddlehead" machines? [01:08] basically multiseat Linux with a python script to load VirtualBox with any OS inside [01:10] I've not heard of that [01:13] 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] "no downloads found" is the only reply I get for typing it in [01:14] does anyone know who makes the H2Insyde BIOSes? my laptops use it, and some netbooks do [01:16] the Acer Aspire One, for instance [01:27] nothingman: I don't, do you have an Aspire One? [01:34] no, but I work at RadioShack, and we have one there [01:34] so I've been studying it like mad [01:35] cool [01:35] oh, never mind [01:36] the stupid logo has a circle [01:36] it's also out of order [01:36] I thought maybe it was h2o insyde [01:36] it's "insyde h2o" [01:37] I've been reading Christopher Dawsons ZDNet Education blog [01:37] he just got one [01:37] http://education.zdnet.com/?p=2018 [01:38] I tested a couple of them for olpc.at [01:38] runs ubuntu real fast and works wonderfully with sugar [01:38] best netbook on the market right now [01:39] nubae: have you tried the Dell Mini 9 as well? [01:39] nope... [01:55] nice [02:30] so, I installed Ubuntu LTSP from the Alternative disk [02:30] onto an older Dell [02:30] plenty of RAM, Intel graphics [02:33] it freezes when I log in [02:33] any thoughts [02:37] nothingman: on the client or on the server? [02:50] on the server, actually [02:51] hmm, that doesn't sound good [02:52] you might google around a bit for the Dell model and ask #ubuntu [02:52] i gotta run though so I'm not much help :( [02:52] no prob [02:52] was nice chatting! [02:53] my email's joshuaalm AT liamg.moc [02:53] I know the bot's working, so... === alkisg1 is now known as alkisg [16:59] == Edubuntu meeting in 1hr! == [17:00] :-) [17:01] I thought it was going to be in like 4 hours, don't know what I was thinking [17:04] LaserJock: Here? Or in #ubuntu-meeting [17:04] in #ubuntu-meeting [17:04] so it gets logged there [17:08] * LaserJock frantically trying to finish the strategy doc [18:02] everybody ready for the meeting? [18:03] yup [18:07] LaserJock: Ready, willing and able [18:08] ok everybody ---> #ubuntu-meeting [18:11] RichEd: ping [18:11] LaserJock: pong [18:12] and a happy new year etc. [18:15] is this chan like, hanging out in the hallway during class? [18:27] Smokers hallway [18:30] heh [18:47] meeting now ? [18:47] here ? [18:47] in #ubuntu-meeting [18:47] alkisg: ^^ [18:47] Ah, right, thanks! :) [19:59] I'm gonna have to go mostly IRC-silent for a while [20:00] I really really gotta get this dissertation done and IRC is a wonderful time sink [20:01] I'll be in good email contact though [20:01] nubae: this is part of my "get edubuntu-devel jumpstarted" plan ;-) [21:11] sorry, i had to step away [21:11] from the meeting [21:19] calimer: you around? [21:19] yep, hi! [21:20] calimer: I'm just watching the Sandbox youtube tutorial [21:20] very nifty stuff [21:20] ah awesome [21:20] btw we have an edubuntu version just sitting and waiting [21:20] a package? [21:20] I really want it in there but the person packaging it is taking a while [21:21] this is a version that meets debian free standards [21:21] do you know if the person was able to get a package onto REVU? [21:21] they just have been "busy" I guess, for some time [21:22] 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] I need to track them down [21:22] I have personally used it to teach in various schools and the kids LOVE it, and this is elementary kids to college [21:23] cool yeah, let's target getting that into Universe for Jaunty [21:23] if you check out the sandbox interview there is some work from the kids at the summer camp [21:23] link to video ? [21:23] I don't know what that means but I'm on board! [21:24] here is the tutorial [21:24] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g44Ww2bg2_E [21:24] Feature Freeze is Feburary 19th so we need a package a bit before then [21:24] and here is the interview [21:24] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WztnXKda4fI [21:24] if you have any specific e-mail addresses I can hit I will send it out today [21:25] as a note I started working on this for kids that were in my after school program at an elementary school [21:25] so for me the reward really is just getting it to the kids [21:25] 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] well I have the zip just sitting there, it just needs to be packaged [21:25] and maybe 2.3 can get packaged in the non free version? [21:25] LaserJock: You pingied me? [21:26] sbalneav: yeah, just wanted to catch up [21:26] or repo i mean [21:26] I'm at work atm, you gonna be on tonight? [21:26] calimer: how non-free is it? can we distribute it freely? [21:26] sbalneav: yeah [21:27] 2.3 has some content that doesn't fit the debian free license [21:27] but yeah you can distribute it freely [21:27] ok, then I think that should be ok for Multiverse [21:27] I also came across an awesome site recently that has all debian free textures [21:27] so I want to update the debian free version with those textures if I can [21:28] I would suggest first doing the free one, then the non-free version should be pretty easy [21:28] openfootage.net I think for anyone else [21:28] is there anyone you know that you think would do it? [21:28] the packages from my end are all set [21:28] let me poke #ubuntu-motu a little [21:28] but they need to be converted into the linux packaging deal that I don't know much about [21:29] I should probably update the code database for the free one at some point [21:29] it might take some time though [21:46] calimer: do you have a download link for your dfsg-free version? [21:46] calimer: is it possible to create the free version from your regular version? [21:47] not a public one but yeah its on my webpage, let me grab the link [21:47] its kinda old codebase wise [21:48] but I don't know how long it would take me to update it [21:48] and this is a lot better than nothing [21:48] and anyone if they really like it they can just get the 2.3 version :D [21:48] http://platinumarts.net/sandboxlite2.1TEST1.zip [21:50] now this version pretty much is just missing "content" stuff, right? [21:51] yeah it basically has all the non debian free content removed [21:51] and it is an older codebase [21:52] so Sauerbraten and Cube2 source is debian free? [21:52] yeah zlib [21:53] for some reason that version that page seems like it is dated much older than it should be [21:53] er [21:53] that file I mean [21:53] but I'm pretty sure that's where I put the updated version [21:54] I had to update the license to meet all the good ol debian free stuff [21:54] and had some help [21:55] there's still some stuff that we might need to take care of [21:56] yeah that's fine I'm willing to do whatever [21:58] how do I build this thing? :-) [21:59] there is a makefile [22:00] in src [22:01] ok right, I see it [22:04] calimer: you might want to email ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com [22:04] okay [22:04] I'd love to package this up for you but I really just don't have time unfortunately [22:04] how long does it usually take? [22:04] that varies tremendously [22:05] from real fast to ..... forever :-) [22:05] but I'll try to put some pressure on it ;-) [22:05] I just want to get it out to the gremlins :) [22:05] yeah [22:05] I get to watch them use it first hand and see how happy they get, both boys and girls [22:06] so it is really rewarding to hear about other kids enjoying it too [22:06] going to put that message to the ubuntu list on the todo [22:07] I think if I can update the codebase that'd be awesome [22:07] even if it has textures that aren't super pretty at least it has all the features [22:07] and people can always add in their own easily [22:07] relatively easily anyway :D [22:08] well, getting something in helps [22:08] people can try it out, get excited, etc. [22:08] yeah and even just check out the videos [22:08] even if it's slightly outdated to start with [22:09] it's fairly easy to update things [22:09] yeah people were into much older versions of what was in that code [22:09] especially if we can make it obvious that 2.3 also exists [22:11] 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] people could take a 3D tour through historical sites
