LaserJock#startmeeting17:33
MootBotMeeting started at 11:33. The chair is LaserJock.17:33
MootBotCommands Available: [TOPIC], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE]17:33
LaserJockjust in case we need to remember something17:33
LaserJockok, so let's do status report real quick17:33
LaserJockI'm gonna try to send out a "State of the Release" email today with more detail17:33
LaserJock* yesterday mvo got the changes for Add/Remove that we wanted for the app bundle spec17:34
LaserJockthis means that our "app bundles" will always sort at the top of the list in Add/Remove17:34
LaserJockwe also have inital metapackages for the bundles done17:35
LaserJockyou can bzr branch lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/edubuntu.jaunty/ to get the seeds17:35
LaserJockthe files should be fairly self-explanitory17:36
LaserJockI've also done some tweaking of the desktop seeds17:36
LaserJockso we have desktop-gome (for edubuntu-desktop) and desktop-kde (for edubuntu-desktop-kde)17:37
LaserJocksortly I'll transiton those to dep on the app bundles17:37
LaserJock*shortly17:37
LaserJockso edubuntu-desktop, for instance, will be app bundles + misc gnome'ish tools17:38
LaserJockand edubuntu-desktop-kde will be app bundles + mis kde'ish tools17:38
LaserJockso the app bundles (preschool, primary, secondary, tertiary) become the core17:38
LaserJockmake sense?17:39
highvoltageyep17:39
sbalneavYes17:39
highvoltagegetting it via bzr now to get more familiar with them fwiw17:40
LaserJockwhat we need to do is finalize the app bundles17:40
LaserJockI just took a quick stab on figuring out what package would be appropriate17:40
LaserJockbut I'm not a "real" educator so I'd like feedback there17:40
LaserJocknext thing is the Universe app bundles17:41
highvoltageLaserJock: are those lists up on a wiki page somewhere?17:41
LaserJockhighvoltage: nope17:41
LaserJockhighvoltage: RichEd had a spreadsheet with a bunch of apps cateogrized by level17:41
LaserJockit's attached to the app bundle spec17:42
LaserJock*but* it's outdated, I think it's based on Hardy17:42
highvoltagehmm, it would be nice to have it on the wiki for educators to see. I don't think we can expect them to bzr it out for feedback17:42
LaserJockfor the Main ones that's not a problem, we know what's in there17:42
highvoltageLaserJock: I'm looking at it now, don't you think ktuberling can also go into preschool?17:42
LaserJockhighvoltage: I sent the info to the mailing list17:43
LaserJockhighvoltage: nobody responded17:43
LaserJockI can try a wiki page to see if that'll help17:43
highvoltageLaserJock: sorry, I must have missed it through everything. I can put it up on the wiki too?17:43
LaserJockthe bigger issue is the Universe app bundles17:43
LaserJockhighvoltage: go for it17:44
LaserJockI need 1) a good naming scheme and 2) a list of Universe apps we think are important for educators17:44
LaserJockfor 1) I've been really thrashing around with this but haven't really fell in love with anything17:44
highvoltageos that ship-addon?17:44
highvoltageoh, it's not17:45
LaserJockhighvoltage: hmm?17:45
LaserJockship-addon is what goes on the Ubuntu Education Cd17:45
LaserJockso far the biggest support has been for ubuntu-edu-*-extras17:45
LaserJockto be consistent with the Main app bundles (which are ubuntu-edu-*) and to show that we consider these useful extras but not our core apps17:46
LaserJockone thing I wanted to be sure of is to make it future-proof regarding the Archive Reogranization17:47
highvoltagefuture-proof in terms of naming I assume?17:47
LaserJockyeah17:47
highvoltagethat's a toughie17:48
LaserJockwell, if the universe/main split goes away17:48
LaserJockI'm guessing we'll want to have a core and extras set of packages still17:49
highvoltageok, so the difference between those 'universe' apps and the ones that are currently shipped is that the universe ones won't be shipped17:49
LaserJockand won't be "fully supported by Canonical and the Edubuntu community"17:50
highvoltageso how about something like edubuntu-nonshipped-primary or something that implies that it's not shipped on the disc?17:50
highvoltagethat's a lot to try and imply in the length of a package name :)17:50
highvoltage(but I understand the need for it)17:50
LaserJockwell, we do have package descriptions17:50
highvoltageright17:50
LaserJockI liked either ubuntu-edu-*-extras17:51
LaserJockor edubuntu-*17:51
LaserJockedubuntu-* get's us into trouble because there's confusion as to what is edubuntu and what is ubuntu-edu17:52
LaserJockbtw, we've removed debian-edu from Jaunty17:52
LaserJockso we won't have the "education" namespace clutter17:52
highvoltageok17:54
LaserJockso what are your opinions?17:54
highvoltageabout edubuntu and ubuntu-edu confusion...17:54
highvoltageI'm confused17:55
LaserJock:-)17:55
highvoltagehow does edubuntu-* cause trouble? is it supposed to be ubuntu-edu-*?17:55
LaserJockthe app bundles in main are called ubuntu-edu-*17:55
LaserJockbut they're the core of what we'd call Edubuntu17:55
highvoltageah, that must be new in jaunty then17:56
LaserJockif we then add in packages that are called edubuntu-*, but are the community-supported "extras" it's confusing17:56
LaserJockyes, it is17:56
highvoltagequite honestly I think the way that it's all branded is really terribly confusing17:56
LaserJockI know, but we've tried to minimze that17:57
LaserJockCanonical wants "Ubuntu Education" so that's what we're doing17:57
LaserJockthe only way to make it less confusing is to ditch "Edubuntu" altogether, which would have pretty consquences, IMO17:58
LaserJock*pretty big17:58
highvoltageyep17:58
LaserJockso does ubuntu-edu-*-extras sound OK?17:59
LaserJockdo you think it's misleading at all?17:59
LaserJockshould we just ditch the concept altogether and find a different way to get educators to Universe software?18:00
highvoltageit's probably as good as you'll get it18:00
highvoltageLaserJock: it's probably a good start. if someone doesn't like it or they want to make suggestions they should be encouraged to file bugs18:01
highvoltagethat way it will at least improve from release to release18:01
LaserJockright18:02
LaserJockI just don't want to create a set of package that we then rename/remove in a release or two18:02
highvoltagehmm18:03
LaserJocka big problem for us already is how constantly we're changing18:03
LaserJockusers have no idea what "Edubuntu" is18:03
LaserJockheck , we don't even know what it is :-)18:04
highvoltageI guess that's why we want RichEd here too18:05
LaserJockfor the rest of Jaunty18:06
LaserJockwe have bugs18:06
LaserJockwe need to fix them :-)18:06
sbalneavWorkin' on Sabayon now.18:06
sbalneavCould we classify the top 10 bugs we'd like to fix?  So I can have a target?18:07
LaserJockI was wanting to do an Edubuntu Hug Day18:08
LaserJockwhich would would do something like that18:08
LaserJockhave target bugs rather than just "heah, fix these 200+ bugs"18:08
LaserJockthanks to moquist we have moodle 1.9.4 in Jaunty18:08
highvoltage\o/18:09
LaserJockit still needs some work but it fixes 24 CVEs, 20 Debian bugs, and 7 Ubuntu bugs18:09
=== smarter_ is now known as smarter
LaserJockhuge improvement18:09
sbalneavI took the day off to work on some bugs, but I'd be up for another bug day18:09
LaserJockwe can work today18:09
LaserJockand then at the end of today get a list for the next bug day that I'll announce the heck out of18:10
LaserJocksbalneav: sound OK?18:10
LaserJockok, before we go morgs sent me a Sugar Team status update:18:14
LaserJock* All the platform components have been updated to the Sugar18:14
LaserJockFeatureFreeze versions before the Jaunty Feature Freeze. However, they18:14
LaserJockare now out of date. The Sugar final 0.84.0 release is on Tuesday 318:14
LaserJockMarch and I'll submit bug reports to upload that then. I've logged18:14
LaserJockbugs for an intermediate release, but I have a problem building the18:14
LaserJockmain sugar component successfully - a problem installing the gconf18:14
LaserJockschemas.18:14
LaserJock* The abiword libabiword bug is still open - I haven't had time to18:14
LaserJockaddress the latest criticism on my patch.18:14
LaserJock* The remaining components which are really out of date are18:14
LaserJockactivities, on which nothing else depends. I'll file bug reports18:14
LaserJockasking for FFEs to get them uploaded once the platform is up to date.18:14
LaserJocksorry for the paste spam there18:14
sbalneavOK18:14
LaserJockso they still need to get libabiword worked out18:15
LaserJockok, well, any other issues?18:16
LaserJocklike I said before, I'll be sending out an email with more detail on what things need to get done before release18:17
LaserJockas you guys now, I'm about out of *buntu-time for Jaunty so I'll be pointing out what items I'll take care of18:17
LaserJockand the rest will have to depend on people stepping up a little to make sure things get done18:17
