[00:02] <Lns> LaserJock: yeah that's a weird situation for edubuntu since there are many different network topologies possible
[00:03] <LaserJock> the content filter that was started by Amaranth (who wrote the Gnome menu editor) is pretty nice
[00:04] <LaserJock> but I think it needs a more complete implementation
[00:16] <Ahmuck> i've got a problem with it
[00:16] <Ahmuck> with filtering
[00:16] <Ahmuck> opendns isn't doing it, and my isp doesn't really have a solution
[00:19] <LaserJock> Ahmuck: have you tried dansguardian yet?
[00:21] <Ahmuck> nope
[00:21] <Ahmuck> iirc, danguardian charges schools
[00:22] <LaserJock> Ahmuck: what do you mean?
[00:24] <Ahmuck> k, nm
[00:24] <Ahmuck> dans guardian is free ... as it's in ubuntu
[00:24] <Ahmuck> but the blacklists he suggests using is not
[00:24] <LaserJock> right, although I think there is a blacklist included, though I could be wrong
[00:25] <Ahmuck> it's only "not free" if you download from his site
[00:25] <Ahmuck> http://urlblacklist.com/?sec=subscribe
[00:25] <Ahmuck> that's the blacklist he uses
[00:26] <LaserJock> right, but you can get other free blacklists
[00:27] <LaserJock> anyway, that's an option I've commonly seen
[00:28] <LaserJock> time to go home for me
[00:28] <Lns> LaserJock: wow didnt know you knew the guy who did alacarte ?
[00:28] <LaserJock> sure
[00:28] <LaserJock> gave him a ride once ;-)
[00:28] <Lns> you should mention it to him that multi-user functionality would RULE =)
[00:28] <stgraber> Amaranth used to be around on IRC some time ago
[00:29] <Lns> would be perfect for ltsp ppl
[00:29] <stgraber> haven't seen him for a while though
[00:29] <Lns> ah
[00:29] <LaserJock> I suspect that perhaps either work or uni has taken him a lot
[00:29] <crimsun> he's around on #offtopic fairly frequently
[00:29] <LaserJock> he's dropped alacarte essentially
[00:29] <Ahmuck> long time ago
[00:29] <LaserJock> does more compiz stuff I believe
[00:29] <Lns> One of my clients mentioned that they loved the menu editor and it would be nice to do it globally
[00:29] <Ahmuck> iirc
[00:29] <crimsun> i funded part of his UDS stay some time ago
[00:30] <LaserJock> crimsun: yeah, that's when I gave him a ride to Google HQ
[00:30] <LaserJock> he and ajmitch and jcastro were hoofing it
[00:30] <Lns> hehe
[00:30] <Lns> i love this community =)
[00:30] <crimsun> come to think on it, i've funded quite a few older core-dev for various things
[00:31] <LaserJock> you remember the "save \sh" campaign?
[00:31] <crimsun> of course.
[00:31] <LaserJock> that was an interesting point in Ubuntu community history
[00:32] <LaserJock> I've not seen things like that elsewhere, though my experience is limited
[00:32] <crimsun> there was also brandon's hw issue
[00:32] <LaserJock> yeah
[00:36] <Ahmuck> heh, i know brandon as well
[08:13] <highvoltage> I always find things like this disturbing: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/4176114/Chinese-schoolboy-has-52-stitches-after-attack-from-teacher.html
[13:51] <jelkner> ogra: u here?
[13:52] <jelkner> anyone here who could field an edubuntu organizational question?
[13:56] <ogra> jelkner, i'm here, but i didnt touch edubuntu since a year
[13:56] <ogra> LaserJock is your best bet
[13:58] <jelkner> ogra: what i have isn't a technical question, but rather an organizational one
[13:58] <jelkner> I'll look for LaserJock
[13:59] <jelkner> i assume i can find his contact info on launchpad?
[14:01] <jelkner> it is interesting to note that you are listed as the top contact of the team on http://edubuntu.org/help
[14:01] <jelkner> i am listed as Education contact
[14:01] <jelkner> but neither of us is actively involved in the project
[14:02] <jelkner> I keep getting very exciting emails from people around the world expressing interest in Edubuntu
[14:02] <jelkner> but i don't know what to do to help them
[14:02] <jelkner> so i was thinking we need to update that page and get some real contacts listed there instead of us
[14:06]  * jelkner found Jordan Mantha on launchpad and is going off to email him...
[14:06] <ogra> edubuntu was idling since i moved teams, the community guys are just starting to pick up on it again
[14:06] <ogra> afaik they are planning to reorgnize the website at some point
[14:08] <ogra> but i think they will want to sort the tech side first .... nobody touched it for quite some time
[14:08] <jelkner> ok, thanks
[14:08] <jelkner> but i'll still email him, if he is the main dude on the project
[14:09] <ogra> well, he tries to take the time for it on a voluntary base
[14:09] <ogra> some hours a week or so
[14:09] <jelkner> cool
[14:10] <ogra> but overall edubuntu was pretty dead for quite soe time
[14:10] <ogra> *some
[14:15] <ogra> jelkner, if there is commercial intrest expressed in such mails you get, just forward them to RichEd ... even though canonical doesnt do much for edubuntu anymore, there is interest to establish ubuntu in education
