[07:34] <Svenstaro> Hey, any news about Edubuntu, its future and/or the answer to life etc?
=== Feldegastr is now known as Feldegast
[10:25] <bencrisford2> where can i find the edubuntu developers?
[10:33] <bencrisford___> hello?
[10:34] <bencrisford_> noone here?
[11:24] <bencrisford_> Hello?
[12:08] <bencrisford_> where can I find the edubuntu developers?
[14:28] <bencrisford_> stgraber: is there a channel for edubuntu developers?
[14:28] <highvoltage> there's #edubuntu
[14:28] <highvoltage> (for that)
[14:29] <bencrisford_> this is #edubuntu though right?
[14:29] <highvoltage> oh, heh, right, I didn't look at the topic :)
[14:29] <bencrisford_> lol
[14:29] <highvoltage> #edubuntu is for everything edubuntu
[14:29] <bencrisford_> ok
[14:29] <bencrisford_> well, im working on a project
[14:30] <bencrisford_> a school/uni e-management system
[14:30] <bencrisford_> only opensource
[14:30] <bencrisford_> the founder and I are looking for developers
[14:30] <bencrisford_> and this seemed like the perfect place
[14:30] <highvoltage> what is it called?
[14:31] <bencrisford_> eskole
[14:31] <highvoltage> edubuntu is short on programmers at the moment (to put it mildly), but I'm sure there's many edubuntu users who would be willing to help with testing, etc
[14:32] <highvoltage> bencrisford_: perhaps you can also get in touch with the schooltool guys, they just hit version 1.0 recently
[14:32] <bencrisford_> ok cool
[14:32] <bencrisford_> also, if there is any way i can help with edubuntu let me know
[14:33] <highvoltage> will you be here on #edubuntu often?
[14:33] <bencrisford_> sure :)
[14:33] <highvoltage> we can really do with help, I just need to know how to contact you
[14:33] <highvoltage> great!
[14:33] <bencrisford_> (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moodle thats what eskole is based on)
[14:33] <bencrisford_> highvoltage: how can i contribute then :)?
[14:34] <highvoltage> does eskole have a project site?
[14:34] <bencrisford_> sure does
[14:34] <highvoltage> bencrisford_: well, at the moment we're trying to figure out in which direction edubuntu should go into
[14:34] <bencrisford_> direction?
[14:34] <highvoltage> bencrisford_: many people want many different things out of edubuntu, and there's not enough resources for everything
[14:34] <bencrisford_> ah i see
[14:34] <highvoltage> bencrisford_: at the moment edubuntu is an add-on disc for ubuntu
[14:34] <bencrisford_> (http://dev.abruptus.dyndns.org/projects/eskole theres the dev tracker btw)
[14:35] <highvoltage> bencrisford_: many want it to be a full turn-key installation again, some feel that it should be more desktop-neutral, so that you can install it onto kde/gnome/xfce/lxde/etc easily and integrate well with those environments
[14:36] <highvoltage> bencrisford_: some feel that it should bring upstream edu stuff closer to edubuntu, some feel it should focus on the gaps that upstream currently leaves
[14:36] <bencrisford_> how can i download edubuntu?
[14:36] <bencrisford_> i read up on it because of eskole and it looks great :)
[14:36] <highvoltage> http://edubuntu.org/download
[14:37] <bencrisford_> ok...
[14:37] <bencrisford_> is all the software on it made by the development team?
[14:38] <highvoltage> no, it's a collection of upstream software, packages from KDE Edu, Gcompris, Tux4kids, etc
[14:38] <bencrisford_> ah ok
[14:38] <stgraber> edubuntu as it's at the moment is an addon on top of regular Ubuntu bringing bundles of educational free softwares
[14:38] <stgraber> well, as highvoltage said :)
[14:38] <bencrisford_> ok cool
[14:38] <bencrisford_> by the way stgraber, i would be grateful if you checked this out :): http://dev.abruptus.dyndns.org/projects/eskole
[14:39] <stgraber> I just did
[14:39] <bencrisford_> oh cool
[14:39] <bencrisford_> so how can i help the development team with edubuntu?
[14:43] <bencrisford_> because I guess id like to :)
[14:43] <bencrisford_> stgraber?  highvoltage?
[14:46] <highvoltage> bencrisford_: a good start would be to join the edubuntu-devel mailing list, it's also on http://lists.ubuntu.com
[14:47] <bencrisford_> ok, will do
[14:47] <highvoltage> bencrisford_: it would be good if you introduce yourself there
[14:48] <bencrisford_> ok, is there many developers?
[14:48] <bencrisford_> because i noticed the launchpad team only has 2 members :P
[14:48] <bencrisford_> or is that for core dev?
[14:49] <highvoltage> bencrisford_: hence the need for more help on edubuntu
[14:50] <bencrisford_> ok
[14:50] <bencrisford_> :)
[15:01] <bencrisford_> hmf.  Why won't brasero let me burn edubuntu
[15:02] <highvoltage> it should, what goes wrong?
[15:06] <bencrisford_> doesnt let me press the 'burn' button
[15:07] <bencrisford_> i select the file
[15:07] <bencrisford_> and the disk
[15:07] <bencrisford_> and burn button is greyed out
[15:08] <bencrisford_> (i posted to the mailing list btw)
[15:16] <bencrisford_> highvoltage; did you see my email?
[15:17] <highvoltage> bencrisford_: I guess I will soon, IRC'ing from my phone atm, will check a bit later
[15:17] <bencrisford_> ok
[15:51] <bencrisford_> stgraber: How do you think I could best contribute to edubuntu?
[16:00] <bencrisford_> stgraber:    :(?
[17:37] <zerothis>  I have a USB harddrive with a live bootable partitiion and a partition with a normal instalation. how can set it up to select which to boot?
=== zerothis1 is now known as zerothis

[21:02] <zerothis> hello
