SvenstaroSee here http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=Svenstaro for packages I maintain in AUR. I think I got a fair amount of experience in maintaining packages so I should be able to handle 20 debs for now.00:00

BCM43I am working two hours a week as the only tech support person at a NYC public school. I lately have been trying to convert the computers from windows to edubuntu. Does anybody have any advice on how best to go about this? I have done a few, and the teachers have liked it, but it has taken a long time per computer. How can I speed it up?01:28
Ahmucki'd wonder why he was converting over07:49

highvoltagehey ogra16:24
highvoltageback in germany?16:24
ograsure16:24
highvoltageogra: I've messed around with lxde and found that changing the wallpaper to the warty-final one and the icon theme to human and the launcher icon to an ubuntu icon can all be done within the lxde-common package16:25
highvoltageogra: I have updated files and know where they should go into the package, but I'm not sure how to do it the correct way. will you have a few minutes some time to provide some advice?16:26
ograwell, we should rather create a lxde-common-ubuntu package or some such and leave the upstream defaults in -common16:26
highvoltageok that would certainly make things easier16:26
highvoltageso would the lxde-common-ubuntu package rely on lxde-common and do diverts or would it just be something from scratch?16:27
highvoltagehmm, some things about the lxde-common package aren't nice, for example, it actually contains an entire icon theme16:29
highvoltageogra: I sent my ideas to you in an email16:37

pyginubae: what do you need?21:05
pygiand I think he deserves to at least be called by his nick21:05
nubaepygi: I was kidding21:06
pygipossibly, but I don't like you (or anybody else) calling him that because he's the reason why Edubuntu is still alive21:06
nubaekidding with the nick, not with wanting to talk to him21:06
