[00:00] I guess you could say it's a different approach, yeah [00:01] 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.. [00:06] Lns: best of luck. I was mostly happy with iTALC last year, it sure saved me when I needed students attention :) [00:07] dgroos_, yeah, it's nice to have that kind of blanket control over a network of systems, isn't it? =) [00:09] 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 :) [00:11] exactly =) [00:12] Lns: It looks like TCM or Lovecrafts Necronimcal Squid won't be ready for prime time in a month or two? [00:14] dgroos_, can't say for sure, there has been a lot of work on it, and still going on [00:14] it will at least be stable in that amount of time hopefully [00:15] Nice. [00:20] 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] dgroos_, thank you!! We will definitely do that when we're ready to release the beast =) [00:21] We're hoping for a rich community of testers, users and devs to help make it a great tool [00:25] 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. [00:26] I've appreciated watching the work that Edubuntu community has recently made to build/strengthen and focus itself. [00:27] 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 [00:29] 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. [00:30] Teaching keeps me pretty busy during the school year! [00:30] And... [00:30] that brings me back to the question... [00:30] dgroos_, you're a teacher? [00:31] * Lns has a forgetful memory ;) [00:31] :-) [00:33] 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 :) [00:34] hehe [00:35] a valuable resource to the edubuntu community! [00:39] Lns: Once the project gets on it's feet things should hopefully start to take off... [00:41] Here's my project blog where I report what I'm doing: [00:41] http://groosd.blogspot.com [00:42] Lns: Thanks for the chat--in Minneapolis it's dinner time :) [00:54] dgroos_, thank you too! thx for the link [00:54] have a good meal === Guest23005 is now known as Sandertje [15:27] english or dutch or oother language? [15:29] i think english [15:29] could someone introduce me to edubuntu === Edubuntu is now known as Douwe [19:11] Anybody here [19:11] ? [19:12] 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] 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. [20:36] hi [20:39] I need to know if there is/ what it is called/ how to restrict uses desktops in LTSP [20:40] am I in the right channel [20:40] ? [20:42] atomic007za: Hey :), you might wanna try #ltsp [20:43] ok thanks [20:45] I also have a edubuntu server installed and would like to know how I go about getting the workstations to log into the server and also have restrictions on there PC [20:51] please
