LaserJocknewz2000: how hard would it be to get edubuntu.org on Drupal6?17:00
newz2000hey LaserJock, probably not too hard, the big things are:17:00
newz2000ensuring the theme is ready17:00
newz2000probably tweaking views afterwards17:01
newz2000(that's it)17:01
LaserJocknewz2000: I saw mentions about https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDrupal and wonderd if that would be a good place to start on getting a better theme going17:02
newz2000let me look closely at that first17:02
LaserJockI'd like to find, if possible, a theme that we can branch off of and possibly merge via bzr in the future17:03
newz2000I used 960 this time17:03
newz2000it was a piece of cake17:03
LaserJockseems like we're kind out doing our own thing sometimes, which can bite us in the butt :-)17:03
newz2000LaserJock: so about that wiki page...17:03
newz2000we're getting ready to release an offical and qa'd version of the launchpad integration17:04
newz2000is that something you're hoping to use?17:04
LaserJockthat wasn't my primary goal, but it would be useful in terms of setting who can edit17:04
LaserJockin the future we may have more use for it but it's not very high on my priority list17:05
LaserJockI'm looking more for consistency and easy updating17:05
newz2000LaserJock: do you use any modules outside of core?17:05
LaserJockdoesn't look like it17:06
newz2000LaserJock: will there be ISOs for edubuntu this time around?17:06
LaserJockyes17:07
LaserJockthere will be an Ubuntu Education CD17:07
newz2000are you guys still using the official set of mirrors like ubuntu and kubuntu does?17:07
LaserJockI believe so yes17:07
newz2000I don't think it would be hard17:08
newz2000it may be a good idea to move you onto the ubuntu web farm, but I'd need to talk to the sysadmins about that first.17:08
newz2000that would make updating the download page easier17:08
LaserJockright17:08
newz2000it would mean you couldn't use PHP code outside of the ensorsed drupal modules17:09
newz2000LaserJock: what I'd do is install drupal 6 locally or somewhere that you have access to it and work on a theme17:10
newz2000thats most of your owkr17:11
newz2000work17:11
LaserJocknewz2000: yeah, would it be possible for you to email me the current theme?17:11
LaserJockI actually don't have a copy of it anywhere17:11
newz2000oh, sure17:11
newz2000do you want the database too?17:12
LaserJocksure17:12
newz2000ok. If you don't mind I'm going to put it on my calendar to do it later on today after beta launches17:12
LaserJocksure, np17:12
newz2000is your laserjock.ubuntu gmail address the best one?17:13
LaserJockno17:13
LaserJocklaserjock@ubuntu.com17:13
newz2000ok, will do17:13
newz2000oops. My google calendar may have gotten a little too friendly with you LaserJock. :-)17:23
LaserJocknot yet :-)17:24
newz2000I put your email address in the description field and it thought I wanted to invite you. Feel free to ignore it.17:24
Turlnewz2000: redesign in firefox homepage?19:18
newz2000Turl: oui!19:19
Turlnewz2000: I must admit I just don't like it :P19:20
Turltoo white19:20
Turlit 'damages' my eyes!19:21
newz2000Turl: julian's team did this. It's not too late to submit a suggestion19:21
newz2000though I suspect the box itself won't change19:21
Turlnewz2000: maybe if the box had a little greyish background19:22
newz2000make a mockup, send it to the list19:22
newz2000I'll ensure that Julian sees it.19:22
newz2000Even if you can't demonstrate it perfectly just get the point across19:22
TurlI'll try, I'm not good with gimp though19:23
newz2000inkscape. It's a beautiful thing.19:23
* Turl aptgets inkscape19:24
