Ahmucki noticed that Windows 7 has a parental control and time program in it.  What options are out there for edubuntu and/or ltsp ?00:56
mhall119Ahmuck: there's a few of them out there, none that are really great01:13
mhall119even Linus himself wrote one01:13
mhall119but it mostly just killed off internet access after an alotted time01:13
mhall119there's others than add PAM hooks to prevent login, and another that will kill an X session after so many minutes01:15
mhall119Ahmuck: I'm going to be making new packages soon, I'm figuring out how to make a Qimo session, like a Gnome or XFCE session, so you can get to it from any user account01:41
sbalneavevening all01:47
mhall119evening sbalneav01:49
sbalneavMorning all14:54

sbalneavHmmm, we should probably have a "lucid kickoff meeting" sometime soon16:21
sbalneavAnybody see my post in edubuntu-{users|devel}?16:21
sbalneavHere's what I think would make the most sense:16:22
sbalneavWith the exception of LTSP, almost everything "edubuntu-ish" should be "demoted" to universe.  That way, the only real requirement to have an impact on Edubuntu would be having MOTU16:23
sbalneavThen, with the edubuntu-dev ppa's, we can lower the barrier to entry even FURTHER.16:33
jbichaI agree that universe makes sense for a good amount of what Edubuntu is working on16:44
jbichaI have two online college classes starting today (Java and XML) so I'll be a bit stretched for the next 2 months :-(16:45
ograthere wont be no universe anymore soon16:48
jbichaogra: what do you mean?16:57
ograthe concept of main/universe will go away soon16:58
stgraberarchive reorganization16:58
stgraberbasically everything will be merged into a single component (or two with restricted ?) and upload rights will be handled by individual or team ACL16:58
ograswitched over to team based maintenence ... so if you are in edubuntu-dev you are an edubuntu developer ... there wont be a distinction for main/universe any more16:58
jbichaso more similar to how Debian works?16:59
ograwell, there will be still a supported set for apps canonical offers support for ... but it wont be reflected in the archive components anymore16:59
sbalneavOh, excellent.17:02
sbalneavSo, that will lower the barrier to entry even further.17:02
sbalneavSo, then that leads me to ask the question: since I'm already "edubuntu-dev" should I BOTHER to jump through the hoops to become motu, or just wait for the reorg?17:03
ograyou still need to gain upload privileges (e.g. MOTU today ... )17:03
sbalneavAh, ok17:03
sbalneavso being in edubuntu-dev doesn't grant upload privs automatically17:04
sbalneavok, I'll stay on my motu path then17:04
sbalneavogra: I merged tuxpaint on the weekend.17:05
ograoh17:05
ogracan you push it somewhere ? i think i got it on my merge list on MoM17:05
ograso i'll happily sponsor17:06
ograGGRRRRRR17:07
* ogra starts getting annoyed by the ton of pointless ltsp bugs today17:07
lilyshuhi, is there any video/documents that i can use to promoting edubuntu in my campus?17:30
sbalneavAsmo might have some on his site17:45
sbalneavcheck the edubuntu-users mailing list17:45
sbalneavogra: Don't worry about the doco-bug, I'll take that on and add it to the upstream manual.17:45
ograsbalneav, it *is* covered ... he doesnt look17:46
ogra*all* of the bugs he filed today are covered somewhere17:46
ograthe cdrom bug could be turned into "add a ckech for the right media and spit out descriptive error" though17:47
sbalneavI know the doc bug IS covered, but the docs are scattered.17:48
sbalneavSo if we merge them all into the master doc plan, that'll be easier.17:48
ograyou cant17:48
ograyou cant add the options to the manpage ... thats why the manpage of ltsp-build-client says we cant :P17:49
ograand points you to the --help command17:49
sbalneavWhy not?  JUst have a section in the LTSPManual about the plugins?17:49
sbalneavOff for lunch, bbian17:50
ograsbalneav, the prob is that they vary, you would need distro specific manpages17:50
ograsbalneav, we added "Not all options are available on all installations. For a complete list of available options, use the --help and --extra-help options." to the manpage for that reason ...17:57
ograsbalneav, i agree that the general plugin howto from /usr/share/doc should be in upstream though ... i adjusted the bug towards that17:58
* ogra calls it a day18:08
highvoltageogra: are you back in .de?18:18
