[00:03] Does anyone know the FF equiv. to IE's .URL shortcut/launcher/whatever? [00:14] Lns: I'm not sure what that is -- I haven't used Windoze in over 10 years -- but if you describe it I might know. [00:15] hi HedgeMage [00:15] hi, stgraber [00:16] HedgeMage: you are the owner of the edubuntu-handbook team. We are currently trying to change team ownership for edubuntu-* to the edubuntu-council. [00:16] Could you change edubuntu-handbook's owner to edubuntu-council ? (Of course, you'll remain administrator of the team, it's just to add some central management of teams) [00:18] HedgeMage: well it's in linux, i just have a teacher who has tons of windows IE .url files she wants to migrate to linux/FF. I think I can work it with a script though, native linux ff will create a .desktop launcher [00:18] Lns: I belive we did something for that at Revolution Linux, let me try to find the LP project [00:19] (I'm not sure it actually works though) [00:19] stgraber: woo! well any tidbits would be helpful anyway =) thx [00:20] Evening all [00:20] stgraber: I will if you remind me tonight after my son goes to bed (in about 10 minutes). [00:20] stgraber: I don't have time before I tuck him in. [00:20] brb [00:20] Lns: I think you can convert them to .desktop files [00:20] Lns: https://edge.launchpad.net/url-launcher [00:21] stgraber: woohoo! =) [00:21] * Lns starts digging [00:21] Lns: I believe we were having some issues associating .url files with that script, maybe it got fixed in the mean time though [00:22] hrm...well this is potentially a one time conversion so i'm not too worried, i might end up whipping up of my own [01:02] stgraber: cheers! I need to go but i'll be looking at it either tomorrow or next week. Thx! you guys rock @RL. [01:02] * Lns wave [01:17] HedgeMage: ping [01:24] stgraber: pong [01:24] You wanted me to do something on LP, didn't you... [01:24] stgraber: Change ownership of edubuntu handbook to...? [01:26] * sbalneav perks up ears? [01:27] stgraber: edubuntu-council, if my scrollback doesn't lie [01:27] sbalneav: they are just consolidating some ownership stuff. [01:29] sorry, was watching TV :) [01:29] HedgeMage: lol [01:29] hey before you transfer ownership [01:29] can you add me as a member? [01:29] cripes, I've been working on it for 2 years now, and I'm not even a member [01:30] sbalneav: sure, I have to clean up pending requests in general... neither Mario nor I have much time for this these days. [01:30] sbalneav: she can still do it afterwards ;) (but then all of the EC can as well) [01:30] sbalneav: If Mario has no issue, may I add you as an admin since you are around more for day-to-day stuff? [01:30] Sure. [01:31] sbalneav: cool, I want to give him a heads-up first, but I doubt he'll mind [01:31] and soon (if people vote for me that is :( ) I'll be ec. [01:31] sbalneav: I don't see why someone wouldn't vote for you ;) [01:32] Cuz I'm fat and ugly and a jerk? :) [01:32] sbalneav: Did you apply? I don't see you on the list (unless I just don't recognize the name you use) [01:32] I'm trying to figure out how to apply now [01:32] what is your name on launchpad? I can just add you manually I think. [01:32] There, I think I did it. [01:32] sbalneav [01:33] cool [01:33] I'm nothing if not unimagini^H^H^H^H^H^Hconsistent [01:34] HedgeMage: thanks [01:34] stgraber: np [01:35] HedgeMage: "former military spouse", is that (former military) spouse, or former (military) spouse? Sorry, just reading your blog. [01:37] sbalneav: He got out of the military shortly after we separated, so both. [01:37] or neither...depending on how you look at it :) [01:37] ah [01:38] nice bit on the kindle [01:38] Thanks [01:39] I really like the iRex as an alternative -- it runs embedded Linux, so not only is it more open now, but I can code for it and make it support new open formats in the future. [01:39] So, you use drupal? I've got a host provider. Do you need root access to install drupal if you've only got non-root-shell access to a host? [01:40] I work on Drupal for a living. You do not need root access to install. You technically don't even need shell, but it makes life a lot easier. [01:40] It's a fantastic system. :) [01:42] sbalneav: may I pm you? [01:42] Absolutely!!!! [01:42] sbalneav@jabber.org [01:42] that consistency thing :) [01:42] :D [01:43] or, here on irc [01:43] whichever you prefer [01:46] sbalneav: wrong jabber account, adding with the right one now ;) [01:47] sbalneav: (you may find some consistency in that account name as well ;)) [01:50] hehe :) [01:50] stgraber: mind adding me as well? hedgemage@jabber.binaryredneck.net [01:52] brb... [01:52] ok :) [03:08] sbalneav or stgraber : will someone please IM me on Jabber right now. I changed my icon set and i want to see if this one makes it suitably obvious when I recieve a message while the client is minimized. === highvoltage is now known as highvoltage\n === highvoltage\n is now known as highvoltage [15:25] sbalneav: poked you on jabber. [15:39] ls [15:39] oops [15:39] dinda: ping [15:40] dinda: looks like the schedule didn't get updated for the edubuntu session, you're marked as essential but it's still on friday morning [15:40] stgraber: pong [15:40] stgraber: I think they run the scheduler daily so we can probably ask jcastro to adjust if needed [16:35] sbalneav: ping? [16:35] (or stgraber :)) [16:36] or highvoltage :) :) [16:37] I'd like to apply for the EC, but I don't have access to the wiki page. Could somebody put up my name there? [16:37] Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~alkisg - Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AlkisGeorgopoulos [16:38] alkisg: pong [16:39] Hi sbalneav [16:39] Sorry, never mind, /me blushes, I had to login first :( [16:39] alkisg: You've got a lunchpod account, don't you? I think that's all you need. [16:39] there you go [16:39] (I'm always logged on launchpad & wiki, and it didn't even cross my mind that this is a seperate domain :)) [17:17] Hmmm, I'm trying to fix my favorite cups bug [17:18] the cups-1.4.1 package uses dpatch, so the patches in debian/patches are .dpatch, not .patch [17:18] I'm familiar with cdbs-edit-patch, how do I create .dpatches to put in there? [17:19] ah [17:20] dpatch-edit-patch? [17:20] yeah [17:20] nm [17:39] * Lns can't edit https://wiki.edubuntu.org/Edubuntu/Council/Election to put his blurb up :( [17:41] Lns: did you try logging in? [17:41] jbicha: yeah, to ubuntu.com anyway [17:41] couldn't find a login page for edubuntu.org [17:42] at the top right on the page you just linked [17:42] baaa hahaha..thanks =) i'm blind apparently [17:43] no, that's just how we weed out those unqualified for EC :-) [17:45] too bad I can't vote, I guess I'll just have to accomplish great things so I can be a Member before the next elections [17:45] jbicha: You're well on the way, I'd say. [17:46] Fixing moodle was no mean feat. [17:46] I'd definitely want you for an edubuntu member, and in edubuntu-dev [17:46] it's too early for me still [17:48] I could join edubuntu-dev though if the entry threshold isn't too high [17:49] Well, I think edubuntu-dev's no problem. It would give you access to the ppa's where we seem to agree that edubuntu patches should be accreted. [17:50] hmm, edubuntu-dev is a "restricted" team instead of moderated so I can't even apply directly [17:52] I think applications for edubuntu-dev go to the meeting agenta... [17:55] oh ok [19:05] i can't believe it, i missed the meeting didn't i [19:06] Lns: it was yesterday [19:06] :) [19:06] In terms of the timescale of the length the universe has been around, you pretty much hit it dead on! [19:07] what?? I thought it was always on friday [19:07] :( [19:07] It was posted on the mailing list [19:08] friday didn't suit some people [19:08] i know! i saw it...oh. [19:08] it's ok [19:08] maybe i haven't caught up with it [19:09] not a good thing for someone running for EC [19:11] meh [19:11] we're a pretty loosely run org [19:11] I wouldn't worry :) [19:12] haha, ok [19:13] have you guys seen my latest video (not totally finished but pretty much done) regarding "open source thin clients in school" ? [19:15] http://logicalnetworking.net/other/linux-thinclients-in-education.mov [19:21] Lns: if you're bored, you can read the meeting log http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2009/11/12/%23ubuntu-meeting.txt [19:33] thanks jbicha [19:45] LNS = Logican Networking Solutions? === jussi01 is now known as jussi01_ === jussio1 is now known as jussi01 [22:49] Ahmuck: LogicaL =) [23:36] Just got done w/the meeting logs [23:36] welcome nubae (if he were here) =) [23:39] stgraber: can you explain what exactly is required of an EC member? I'm very new to the organization of these types of groups (have no experience really)..if I'm going to apply I don't want to be elected and then have it be over my head / too much time consuming for me to handle.
