| Lns | I guess you could say it's a different approach, yeah | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Lns | although a lot of goals and methods are similar, we plan on being a very lightweight util - iTalc, to me, always seemed very klunky and big.. | 00:01 |
| dgroos_ | Lns: best of luck. I was mostly happy with iTALC last year, it sure saved me when I needed students attention :) | 00:06 |
| Lns | dgroos_, yeah, it's nice to have that kind of blanket control over a network of systems, isn't it? =) | 00:07 |
| dgroos_ | Lns: Yes! I don't blame 9th graders, if I had something cool in front of me, something I was in the middle of or whatever, it would be a tough battle to break away from it and listen to some old teacher talking :) | 00:09 |
| Lns | exactly =) | 00:11 |
| dgroos_ | Lns: It looks like TCM or Lovecrafts Necronimcal Squid won't be ready for prime time in a month or two? | 00:12 |
| Lns | dgroos_, can't say for sure, there has been a lot of work on it, and still going on | 00:14 |
| Lns | it will at least be stable in that amount of time hopefully | 00:14 |
| dgroos_ | Nice. | 00:15 |
| dgroos_ | Lns: e-mail to both the edubuntu user and devel lists when you need testers. I like to help the communities which have been helping me so much :-) | 00:20 |
| Lns | dgroos_, thank you!! We will definitely do that when we're ready to release the beast =) | 00:20 |
| Lns | We're hoping for a rich community of testers, users and devs to help make it a great tool | 00:21 |
| dgroos_ | I think there are lots of people out there, people on the margin who may have limited Linux know-how but want to help but not sure where/how. | 00:25 |
| dgroos_ | I've appreciated watching the work that Edubuntu community has recently made to build/strengthen and focus itself. | 00:26 |
| Lns | dgroos_, the age old problem of developing FOSS =) there's always a starting point. If you use it and have a problem, you can report bugs..that's how i started getting more involved | 00:27 |
| dgroos_ | Yes! It has brought me here repetedly as a "helpee", I look forward to the day I can be a bit more of a "helper". I guess we all have our roles though. | 00:29 |
| dgroos_ | Teaching keeps me pretty busy during the school year! | 00:30 |
| dgroos_ | And... | 00:30 |
| dgroos_ | that brings me back to the question... | 00:30 |
| Lns | dgroos_, you're a teacher? | 00:30 |
| * Lns has a forgetful memory ;) | 00:31 | |
| dgroos_ | :-) | 00:31 |
| dgroos_ | Yes, and as a teacher my expertise is pedagogy but with the project I'm working on I need to be able to throw around words like LDAP, LTSP, LTS etc :) | 00:33 |
| Lns | hehe | 00:34 |
| Lns | a valuable resource to the edubuntu community! | 00:35 |
| dgroos_ | Lns: Once the project gets on it's feet things should hopefully start to take off... | 00:39 |
| dgroos_ | Here's my project blog where I report what I'm doing: | 00:41 |
| dgroos_ | http://groosd.blogspot.com | 00:41 |
| dgroos_ | Lns: Thanks for the chat--in Minneapolis it's dinner time :) | 00:42 |
| Lns | dgroos_, thank you too! thx for the link | 00:54 |
| Lns | have a good meal | 00:54 |

| Svenstaro | Anybody here | 19:11 |
| Svenstaro | ? | 19:11 |
| Svenstaro | I was at LinuxTag 2009, and while I missed Edubuntu there, I had a look at Skolelinux and Linux4Afrika who shared a booth. They migrated from LTSP to x2go, any thoughts on this? | 19:12 |
| Svenstaro | I have to say that I didn't get an indepth look in either of those but it looks as though LTSP is quite hacky in comparision to x2go. | 19:12 |
| atomic007za | hi | 20:36 |
| atomic007za | I need to know if there is/ what it is called/ how to restrict uses desktops in LTSP | 20:39 |
