[14:43] <sbalneav> Morning all
[14:55] <alkisg> Good morning sbalneav
[14:56] <sbalneav> How's the weather in Greece?
[14:56] <sbalneav> We're expecting between 5-10 cm of snow over the next 24 hours :)
[14:57] <alkisg> Ooooh... I'm jealous :)
[14:57] <alkisg> Here's it's just rain... can't go skiing :(
[15:12] <stgraber> sbalneav: bah bah, that's nothing ;)
[15:13] <stgraber> sbalneav: though, interesting, according to my gnome weather applet, it's colder in Winnipeg than in Sherbrooke today
[15:13] <sbalneav> What's it like in La Belle Provence?
[15:13] <sbalneav> It's actually not too bad here.
[15:13] <sbalneav> -9's not anything to get too worried about.
[15:13] <stgraber> it was -15C yesterday but it's only -6C at the moment here and we had 5-6cm yesterday + the lot we had the week before
[15:14] <sbalneav> Ah, -6's pretty good.
[15:14] <stgraber> yep, feels like summer :)
[15:14] <sbalneav> I don't generally tend to get feeling it's too "cold" until it drops below about -20
[15:14] <sbalneav> THEN it starts getting nippy.
[15:15] <stgraber> yeah, on the 31st last year it was something like -25 or -30 here, that's really really cold :)
[17:56] <sbalneav> Meeting on in 5?
[17:56] <sbalneav> Just gonna run out and grab a sammich
[18:15] <sbalneav> No meeting?
[18:29] <stgraber> sbalneav: nope, that's in 30min
[18:29] <stgraber> sbalneav: 19UTC
[18:34] <sbalneav> yeah, mail was in =-dev
[18:49] <stgraber> meeting in 10min (#ubuntu-meeting)
[18:50] <sbalneav> Phht, I been there for the last hour you slackers :)
[18:51] <stgraber> "not my fault" (tm) :)
[18:53] <sbalneav> I preferr the Cleaseau-esq "That's not my dog"
[18:55] <stgraber> hehe

[18:57]  * highvoltage gets some coffee before it's too late
[18:58] <sbalneav> darned kids
[18:59] <stgraber> fun youtube video :)
[19:01] <sbalneav> It's a running joke at Legal Aid Systems Department.  If something isn't our problem, we say "That's not my dog"
[19:02] <highvoltage> stgraber: lol
[19:27] <pmfranco> Hello everybody
[19:27] <sbalneav> Hello
[19:44] <mhall119|work> hey guys, Qimo just lost it's last USA mirror host, do you think Canonical would be willing to provide mirror space?  and if so, who should I ask about that?
[19:45] <sbalneav> Not sure.
[19:48] <stgraber> mhall119|work: IIRC there's a link on the mirror page of launchpad to contact the mirror admins, maybe you can get in touch with a mirror admin this way
[19:48] <stgraber> mhall119|work: otherwise you can try #canonical-sysadmin but that's mostly the tech guys here, not sure they can do much in your case
[19:48] <stgraber> mhall119|work: do you still have mirrors somewhere else ?
[19:49] <stgraber> (Canonical will likely be in Europe, I don't think they mirror in the US at all)
[19:49] <mhall119|work> stgraber: yeah, in S. America and Europe
[19:49] <mhall119|work> I'm looking at kernel.org now, might be able to get on with them
[20:09] <pmfranco> hi people
[20:09] <pmfranco> i would like to star a kubunut community in my country Ecuador
[20:09] <pmfranco> wath we should do???
[20:10] <pmfranco> any idea
[20:10] <alkisg> kubuntu? Why don't you ask in #kubuntu then?
[20:11] <pmfranco> pardon,
[20:11] <pmfranco> is edubuntu community
[20:13] <alkisg> Yeah, edubuntu has a community, and it's community driven... So you want to start an edubuntu loco team? Or an ubuntu loco team?
[20:14] <pmfranco> Well, the locoteam Ubuntu Ecuador exist
[20:14] <pmfranco> but, we need a Edubuntu LUG for the teachers, students, and others
[20:15] <pmfranco> we use edubuntu at schools, university, etc
[20:16] <pmfranco> do you know any channel of edubuntu in spanish, please
[20:19]  * alkisg doesn't know...
[20:19] <stgraber> we used to have edubuntu-es but I don't think it's active anymore
[20:19] <stgraber> maybe some spanish speaking Locos may have some edubuntu guys around (though I don't remember of one)
[20:21] <pmfranco> any idea o star our edubuntu community, or contact in spanish???
[20:23] <stgraber> I guess best is to see if you have Loco members active in education and do a spin-off of your Loco for education
[20:24] <pmfranco> i understang, a community of edubuntu inside of our LoCo Team Ubuntu Ecuador
[20:24] <pmfranco> is correct???
[20:28] <stgraber> yep, that'd be the easy way to set it up
[20:29] <pmfranco> thanks, i'll do it
[20:30] <highvoltage> mhall119|work: I haven't figured out xplash myself yet, but I need to do so for a bunch of other stuff
[20:30] <mhall119|work> highvoltage: cool, we can learn it together
[20:30] <mhall119|work> USplash wasn't that hard, but it's pretty basic too
[20:31] <highvoltage> mhall119|work: so as I figure it out we can compare notes yes
[20:31] <highvoltage> yes usplash is ok
[20:31] <mhall119|work> is Lucid going to have both USplash and XSplash still, like Karmic?  Or will USplash be dropped?
[20:32] <highvoltage> mhall119|work: afaik lucid is going to use plymouth, it's a *lot* smoother than usplash. I don't think it actually uses usplash
[20:32] <mhall119|work> plymouth?  I thought they didn't like that
[20:32] <mhall119|work> I thought XSplash was the alternative to plymouth
[20:32] <highvoltage> mhall119|work: I think xsplash is going to stay though, not sure if plymouth replaces that either. stgraber played with plymouth on LTSP yesterday
[20:33] <highvoltage> mhall119|work: well, things change... fast :)
[20:33] <mhall119|work> does plymouth run on X11, or the kernel frame buffeR?
[20:33] <highvoltage> mhall119|work: well, it uses KMS (kernel mode switching), so I guess it uses both
[20:33] <mhall119|work> it may not use X11
[20:34] <mhall119|work> KMS doesn't need it
[20:34] <highvoltage> well it fades into your X session when your X session is ready
[20:34] <highvoltage> so I guess there's some integration there
[20:34] <mhall119|work> ah, then it's probably built on X
[20:34] <mhall119|work> I don't think KMS can do fading between
[20:36] <highvoltage> it may be that kms brings up X without any mode changes or flashes and then X does the fading, I'm not sure, I haven't played with it myself yet, but I'm installing lucid on an extra laptop and see what it does
[20:37] <mhall119|work> sbalneav: does nanny to web content filtering?
[21:07] <stgraber> highvoltage: xplash will likely be replaced by plymouth X support
[21:08] <stgraber> highvoltage: I tried it and it works fine and so did Keybuk, so I expect it to be the logical replacement of xsplash
[21:27] <sbalneav> mhall119|work: Dunno yet.
[21:27] <sbalneav> lemme look
[21:28] <highvoltage> mhall119|work: ^^^
[21:29] <sbalneav> mhall119|work: http://git.gnome.org/browse/nanny/tree/help/nanny.xml
[21:29] <sbalneav> looks like access to websites, but not content filtering.
[21:29] <sbalneav> use dansguardian for that.
[21:30] <alkisg> So what's the key reason to use nanny? PC time limits?
[21:31] <sbalneav> prolly
[21:31] <sbalneav> heading home, be on later.
[21:31] <alkisg> If it does a good work at that, I'll use it for my kids :D (but not at school, no reason there...)
[21:33] <alkisg> Hmmm editing docbooks with openoffice... http://xml.openoffice.org/xmerge/docbook/UserGuide.html
[21:34] <alkisg> Since I'm mostly using openoffice, it wouldn't be a bad idea to use the template offered there, for easier docbook exporting...
