[18:23] <IHS_intern> interested in LTSP, and I have a DHCP server I can't take down(county owns it, not us.) And we have 100mbit ethernet at best, so small labs are best anyways... any way I can setup LTSP and use one NIC to connect to the outside world, and the rest of the lab to use a second NIC?
[18:27] <sbalneav> IHS_intern: Yes
[18:27] <sbalneav> In fact, this is the preferred way.
[18:44] <IHS_intern> What would you say the lowest-end hardware that will run LTSP-booting ubuntu well?
[18:44] <IHS_intern> Not as the server, but as the client. We have some old Pentium MMXs in the back room....
[18:46] <sbalneav> How much ram?
[18:49] <IHS_intern> 32-128. 64 is common and an easy upgrade, 128 is easy to upgrade to. Able to get ~50 machines to 256.
[18:50] <sbalneav> if you can do 128 megs or better, you should be fine.
[20:47] <bencrisford> highvoltage: What is the process for becoming an ubuntu dev?
[20:47] <bencrisford> edubuntu dev*
[20:48] <bencrisford> I messed that up, ill try again
[20:48] <bencrisford> highvoltage: What is the process for becoming an edubuntu dev?
[20:49] <bencrisford> stgraber: ?
[20:50] <stgraber> you need to be an edubuntu member then justify that you have a good enough understanding of packaging to get the developer status
[20:50] <bencrisford> oh :/
[20:51] <bencrisford> stgraber: I didn't know sbalneav was an edubuntu member :)
[20:53] <LaserJock> highvoltage: looking for me?
[20:53] <bencrisford> LaserJock: I fixed that bug after all yesterday
[20:54] <bencrisford> I uploaded it as a patch, not sure if it my diff is right though
[20:54] <LaserJock> what bug #?
[20:54] <highvoltage> LaserJock: yep, I'm just about to go to sleep though (pretty much exhausted)
[20:55] <LaserJock> highvoltage: sorry, was/am slammed trying to get a new chapter revision to my advisor
[20:56] <bencrisford> LaserJock: bug 306876
[20:57] <highvoltage> LaserJock: no problem, will talk to you tomorrow
[20:57] <LaserJock> bencrisford: you actually want to do a debdiff
[20:57] <bencrisford> LaserJock: Ah
[20:58] <LaserJock> bencrisford: so do debdiff gcompris_8.4.4-1.1ubuntu4.dsc gcompris_8.4.4-1.1ubuntu5.dsc > gcompris_8.4.4-1.1ubuntu5.debdiff
[20:58] <LaserJock> and upload that debdiff
[20:58] <LaserJock> highvoltage: we're doing EC tomorrow?
[20:59] <LaserJock> bencrisford: when you have something for me to do assign or at least subscribe me to the bug
[20:59] <bencrisford> LaserJock: I already subscribed the main sponsors
[20:59] <bencrisford> unles you wanna do it all?
[20:59] <bencrisford> because gcompris is in main i think
[20:59] <bencrisford> !info gcompris
[21:00] <LaserJock> well, the Main Sponsors tend to be a bit slow and there's more going on with the package
[21:00] <highvoltage> LaserJock: yes
[21:00] <LaserJock> I'm unlikely to actually upload your debdiff straight
[21:00] <LaserJock> we need to merge the new version of gcompris in
[21:00] <LaserJock> and I'd probably apply your fix at that point
[21:03] <LaserJock> bencrisford: anyway, I'm just pointing out that if you'd like me to sponsor something the best way is to assign or subscribe me
[21:03] <bencrisford> LaserJock: Yeah, I guess :)
[21:03] <LaserJock> I gotta run now, see y'all tomorrow
[21:03] <bencrisford> LaserJock: How hard is it for one to become an edubuntu developer?
[21:04] <LaserJock> shouldn't be horrible
[21:04] <bencrisford> ok :)
[21:04] <LaserJock> I'm setting the technical requirements to be less than MOTU
[21:04] <bencrisford> ill keep fixing bugs ;)
[21:04] <LaserJock> basically something like Contributing Developer with an interest in Edubuntu
[21:04] <bencrisford> i was enquiring about ubuntu universe-contributor
[21:05] <bencrisford> apparently its like 2-3 months visible contribution
[21:05] <LaserJock> *however*, that definitely shouldn't turn you away from contributing to Edubuntu packaging
[21:05] <bencrisford> what shouldnt?
[21:05] <LaserJock> the ~edubuntu-dev team is for granting write permissions, not an exclusive club of the only people who can work on Edubuntu packages
[21:06] <bencrisford> i know :)
[21:06] <LaserJock> if you've got a fix or bzr branch we'll have a look
[21:06] <bencrisford> yeah :), ok
[21:06] <LaserJock> but since it's all gotta go through a MOTU/Core Dev anyway it's really not much of a barrier
[21:07] <LaserJock> I don't mind doing a quick check and uploading for people
[21:07] <bencrisford> ok :)
[21:07] <LaserJock> especially so that they can get some uploads under their belt for getting Contributing Developer ;-)
[21:07] <bencrisford> :)
[21:07] <LaserJock> anyway, gotta run
[21:50] <pygi> hi asanchez
[21:50] <asanchez> hi pygi
[21:50] <bencrisford> Hey asanchez, pygi
[21:52] <asanchez> pygi, we have discussed today at work about "google summer of code" clon for schools
[21:52] <nubae> hola asanchez
[21:52] <asanchez> hola nubae
[21:52] <pygi> asanchez: what did you conclude?
[21:52] <nubae> k tal por alli, empieza hacer calor?
[21:53] <asanchez> we are thinking about "software libre public contest"
[21:53] <asanchez> nubae, it's so hot here, it's making me less productive
[21:54] <asanchez> it's impossible to do nothing until 8pm
[21:54] <nubae> yeah, more air conditioning needed ;-)
[21:54] <asanchez> i only have air conditioned in computers room at home :D
[21:54] <nubae> heh
[21:56] <pygi> asanchez: interesting, can I know more? And can it map in my initiative?
[21:56] <asanchez> pygi, here in Andalusia we have one specific formation level about Applications Desing and Coding and another about System Administration
[21:56] <asanchez> sorry, phone
[22:07] <asanchez> pygi, are you thinking about a global initiative, isn't it?
[22:08] <pygi> asanchez:possibly, yes
[22:11] <asanchez> We are thinking about propose some little *free software* projects that people that are finish their formation could use as final project
[22:12] <asanchez> other people will have mentor role (could be teacher or anybody interested)
[22:16] <pygi> asanchez: that's cool
[22:17] <asanchez> pygi, we have to sell the idea to our politician boss
[22:17] <pygi> :p
