nixternalat UDS I thought I heard that Edubuntu was going back to being Edubuntu the OS, so there were going to be 2 images. 1 being Edubuntu and the other being the Ubuntu Education addon...is this still true? what does the 9.04 release look like? ogra? I am updating the book chapter for 9.04 :)05:31
nixternalogra: never mind that if you don't want to answer...seems Jordan setup a meeting for tomorrow so I shall attend and get my info that way :)05:32

highvoltageLaserJock: have you seen the bug report about how edubuntu should be a standalone CD?17:12
highvoltageit's weird how quick people are to complain but they don't want to contribute17:12
LaserJockI did see it17:14
LaserJockit was a good report though17:14
LaserJockI at least understood what the guy was saying :-)17:14

highvoltageLaserJock: want to talk now or get settled a bit more?17:22
LaserJockwell, I'd like to see RichEd17:24
LaserJockor ogra17:24
LaserJockso we have some EC action17:24
Ahmuck-Jrin truth there is truth in what he's saying17:25
Ahmuck-Jra light weight edubuntu light that booted live would be a good thing17:25
LaserJockthere's totally truth in what he's saying17:25
Ahmuck-Jri'd be more interested in why GB is so hostile to anything but windows17:25
LaserJockthe problem is that he assumes we don't know that :-)17:25
LaserJocksbalneav: you up for a little chat in #ubuntu-meeting17:26
LaserJock?17:26
LaserJockwe can at least go over where we're at, some status updates17:27
LaserJockand perhaps if we get ogra or RichEd do some EC work17:27
sbalneavSure17:30
nixternalsince I have everyone's attention :)  what is the status of the Edubuntu CDs? add-ons still or is there going to be an OS release as well? Edubuntu or Ubuntu Education Edition? I heard a few things at UDS and just wanted to clarify..I am updating the chapter in the book17:48
LaserJockheh17:49
LaserJockEdubuntu is producing the Ubuntu Education CD17:49
LaserJockno "Edition"17:49
nixternalstill an add-on though?17:49
LaserJockoh yeah17:50
LaserJockno way we can do anything much with that17:50
nixternalgroovy, thanks :)17:52
* nixternal notes to add the desktop-kde bit as well17:52
LaserJocknixternal: is this for Jaunty?17:52
nixternalyes17:52
LaserJockwe might also get the ability to install Edubuntu from the Ubuntu DVD17:53
LaserJockI had cjwatson take out the preseeding on the text-based installer17:53
LaserJockso tasksell pops up17:53
nixternalnice...do you know if that is going to stick for jaunty yet?17:53
LaserJockso if you want to get all the edu stuff in one shot you can go that route17:53
LaserJockno, I don't know for sure17:53
LaserJockit's got a little bug in it right now17:54
nixternalgotcha17:54
LaserJockif that's fixed it should be a go17:54
LaserJockAhmuck-Jr: you weren't in the meeting?18:27
ograLaserJock, hey22:13
ograi was out, just returned22:13
LaserJockogra: ah22:13
ograi would actually appreciate if someone could take over my EC duties so the EC is actually able to mke decisions22:13
ogra(mine and RichEds)22:14
LaserJockyeah, I'd like that for myself too ;-)22:14
LaserJockno more decisions22:14
LaserJock:p22:14
ograits pretty pointless to have an EC that doesnt make any decision22:14
LaserJockagreed22:14
ograthere are a lot of user application22:14
ogras22:15
LaserJockdo you know if RichEd for sure is needing replacement22:15
LaserJockI've seen him in the channel over the last couple days but haven't gotten him to respond22:15
ograno idea how much edubuntu work he will do in the future22:15
LaserJockok, well, how about I send out an email to edubuntu-devel saying that we need to reform the EC so anybody who wants to resign should22:16
LaserJockand anybody who wants to be nominated to do so22:16
ograsounds ok22:16
ograi'd just like to give my position to someone trustworthy how actually can take the time to do some EC work22:17
LaserJockI'd really like to see sbalneav be in the EC22:17
LaserJock*hint*22:17
ograbut effectively there probably should be nominations and elections22:17
ograyeah, i'D love to see him replacing myself ;)22:18
ograbut that will tear out developer time from ltsp .... :)22:18
ogranot sure thats a god thing22:18
ogra*good22:18
LaserJockwell, if we can work on our developer community22:19
* ogra wonders if sbalneav realizes we talk about him ... he's so busy in #ltsp :)22:19
LaserJockso that we have a good 5-10 regular contributors it wouldn't take so much time on the "core" group22:19
ograyeah22:19
LaserJockas long as it's just 1 or 2 people doing everything it's always gonna be rough22:20
ograwe should switch some adverts that pop up in #ubuntu-motu on a regular base :)22:20
LaserJockespecially if they have a real life22:20
LaserJockyeah22:20
ograan ad-bot :P22:20
LaserJockwell, that was part of why I'd like to do some Universe metapackages22:20
LaserJockso that there's a place to get some new contributors going22:21
ograyeah22:21
LaserJockif I can get this darn PhD done and find a 9-5 job I'll have more time for teaching contributors :-)22:22
