[00:03] <Lns> Does anyone know the FF equiv. to IE's .URL shortcut/launcher/whatever?
[00:14] <HedgeMage> 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] <stgraber> hi HedgeMage
[00:15] <HedgeMage> hi, stgraber
[00:16] <stgraber> 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] <stgraber> 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] <Lns> 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] <stgraber> Lns: I belive we did something for that at Revolution Linux, let me try to find the LP project
[00:19] <stgraber> (I'm not sure it actually works though)
[00:19] <Lns> stgraber: woo! well any tidbits would be helpful anyway =) thx
[00:20] <sbalneav> Evening all
[00:20] <HedgeMage> stgraber: I will if you remind me tonight after my son goes to bed (in about 10 minutes).
[00:20] <HedgeMage> stgraber: I don't have time before I tuck him in.
[00:20] <HedgeMage> brb
[00:20] <sbalneav> Lns: I think you can convert them to .desktop files
[00:20] <stgraber> Lns: https://edge.launchpad.net/url-launcher
[00:21] <Lns> stgraber: woohoo! =)
[00:21]  * Lns starts digging
[00:21] <stgraber> 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] <Lns> 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] <Lns> 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] <stgraber> HedgeMage: ping
[01:24] <HedgeMage> stgraber: pong
[01:24] <HedgeMage> You wanted me to do something on LP, didn't you...
[01:24] <HedgeMage> stgraber: Change ownership of edubuntu handbook to...?
[01:26]  * sbalneav perks up ears?
[01:27] <HedgeMage> stgraber: edubuntu-council, if my scrollback doesn't lie
[01:27] <HedgeMage> sbalneav: they are just consolidating some ownership stuff.
[01:29] <stgraber> sorry, was watching TV :)
[01:29] <sbalneav> HedgeMage: lol
[01:29] <sbalneav> hey before you transfer ownership
[01:29] <sbalneav> can you add me as a member?
[01:29] <sbalneav> cripes, I've been working on it for 2 years now, and I'm not even a member
[01:30] <HedgeMage> sbalneav: sure, I have to clean up pending requests in general... neither Mario nor I have much time for this these days.
[01:30] <stgraber> sbalneav: she can still do it afterwards ;) (but then all of the EC can as well)
[01:30] <HedgeMage> 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] <sbalneav> Sure.
[01:31] <HedgeMage> sbalneav: cool, I want to give him a heads-up first, but I doubt he'll mind
[01:31] <sbalneav> and soon (if people vote for me that is :( ) I'll be ec.
[01:31] <stgraber> sbalneav: I don't see why someone wouldn't vote for you ;)
[01:32] <sbalneav> Cuz I'm fat and ugly and a jerk? :)
[01:32] <HedgeMage> sbalneav: Did you apply?  I don't see you on the list (unless I just don't recognize the name you use)
[01:32] <sbalneav> I'm trying to figure out how to apply now
[01:32] <HedgeMage> what is your name on launchpad?  I can just add you manually I think.
[01:32] <sbalneav> There, I think I did it.
[01:32] <sbalneav> sbalneav
[01:33] <HedgeMage> cool
[01:33] <sbalneav> I'm nothing if not unimagini^H^H^H^H^H^Hconsistent
[01:34] <stgraber> HedgeMage: thanks
[01:34] <HedgeMage> stgraber: np
[01:35] <sbalneav> HedgeMage: "former military spouse", is that (former military) spouse, or former (military) spouse?  Sorry, just reading your blog.
[01:37] <HedgeMage> sbalneav: He got out of the military shortly after we separated, so both.
[01:37] <HedgeMage> or neither...depending on how you look at it :)
[01:37] <sbalneav> ah
[01:38] <sbalneav> nice bit on the kindle
[01:38] <HedgeMage> Thanks
[01:39] <HedgeMage> 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] <sbalneav> 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] <HedgeMage> 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] <HedgeMage> It's a fantastic system. :)
[01:42] <HedgeMage> sbalneav: may I pm you?
[01:42] <sbalneav> Absolutely!!!!
[01:42] <sbalneav> sbalneav@jabber.org
[01:42] <sbalneav> that consistency thing :)
[01:42] <HedgeMage> :D
[01:43] <sbalneav> or, here on irc
[01:43] <sbalneav> whichever you prefer
[01:46] <stgraber> sbalneav: wrong jabber account, adding with the right one now ;)
[01:47] <stgraber> sbalneav: (you may find some consistency in that account name as well ;))
[01:50] <HedgeMage> hehe :)
[01:50] <HedgeMage> stgraber: mind adding me as well?  hedgemage@jabber.binaryredneck.net
[01:52] <sbalneav> brb...
[01:52] <HedgeMage> ok :)
[03:08] <HedgeMage> 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.
[15:25] <stgraber> sbalneav: poked you on jabber.
[15:39] <stgraber> ls
[15:39] <stgraber> oops
[15:39] <stgraber> dinda: ping
[15:40] <stgraber> 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] <dinda> stgraber: pong
[15:40] <dinda> stgraber: I think they run the scheduler daily so we can probably ask jcastro to adjust if needed
[16:35] <alkisg> sbalneav: ping?
[16:35] <alkisg> (or stgraber :))
[16:36] <alkisg> or highvoltage :) :)
[16:37] <alkisg> 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] <alkisg> Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~alkisg - Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AlkisGeorgopoulos
[16:38] <sbalneav> alkisg: pong
[16:39] <alkisg> Hi sbalneav
[16:39] <alkisg> Sorry, never mind, /me blushes, I had to login first :(
[16:39] <sbalneav> alkisg: You've got a lunchpod account, don't you? I think that's all you need.
[16:39] <sbalneav> there you go
[16:39] <alkisg> (I'm always logged on launchpad & wiki, and it didn't even cross my mind that this is a seperate domain :))
[17:17] <sbalneav> Hmmm, I'm trying to fix my favorite cups bug
[17:18] <sbalneav> the cups-1.4.1 package uses dpatch, so the patches in debian/patches are .dpatch, not .patch
[17:18] <sbalneav> I'm familiar with cdbs-edit-patch, how do I create .dpatches to put in there?
[17:19] <sbalneav> ah
[17:20] <sbalneav> dpatch-edit-patch?
[17:20] <sbalneav> yeah
[17:20] <sbalneav> nm
[17:39]  * Lns can't edit https://wiki.edubuntu.org/Edubuntu/Council/Election to put his blurb up :(
[17:41] <jbicha> Lns: did you try logging in?
[17:41] <Lns> jbicha: yeah, to ubuntu.com anyway
[17:41] <Lns> couldn't find a login page for edubuntu.org
[17:42] <jbicha> at the top right on the page you just linked
[17:42] <Lns> baaa hahaha..thanks =) i'm blind apparently
[17:43] <jbicha> no, that's just how we weed out those unqualified for EC :-)
[17:45] <jbicha> 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] <sbalneav> jbicha: You're well on the way, I'd say.
[17:46] <sbalneav> Fixing moodle was no mean feat.
[17:46] <sbalneav> I'd definitely want you for an edubuntu member, and in edubuntu-dev
[17:46] <jbicha> it's too early for me still
[17:48] <jbicha> I could join edubuntu-dev though if the entry threshold isn't too high
[17:49] <sbalneav> 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] <jbicha> hmm, edubuntu-dev is a "restricted" team instead of moderated so I can't even apply directly
[17:52] <alkisg> I think applications for edubuntu-dev go to the meeting agenta...
[17:55] <jbicha> oh ok
[19:05] <Lns> i can't believe it, i missed the meeting didn't i
[19:06] <sbalneav> Lns: it was yesterday
[19:06] <sbalneav> :)
[19:06] <sbalneav> In terms of the timescale of the length the universe has been around, you pretty much hit it dead on!
[19:07] <Lns> what?? I thought it was always on friday
[19:07] <Lns> :(
[19:07] <sbalneav> It was posted on the mailing list
[19:08] <sbalneav> friday didn't suit some people
[19:08] <Lns> i know! i saw it...oh.
[19:08] <sbalneav> it's ok
[19:08] <Lns> maybe i haven't caught up with it
[19:09] <Lns> not a good thing for someone running for EC
[19:11] <sbalneav> meh
[19:11] <sbalneav> we're a pretty loosely run org
[19:11] <sbalneav> I wouldn't worry :)
[19:12] <Lns> haha, ok
[19:13] <Lns> have you guys seen my latest video (not totally finished but pretty much done) regarding "open source thin clients in school" ?
[19:15] <Lns> http://logicalnetworking.net/other/linux-thinclients-in-education.mov
[19:21] <jbicha> Lns: if you're bored, you can read the meeting log http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2009/11/12/%23ubuntu-meeting.txt
[19:33] <Lns> thanks jbicha
[19:45] <Ahmuck> LNS = Logican Networking Solutions?
[22:49] <Lns> Ahmuck: LogicaL =)
[23:36] <Lns> Just got done w/the meeting logs
[23:36] <Lns> welcome nubae (if he were here) =)
[23:39] <Lns> 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.
