[01:12] I'm very close to a release of groundcontrol nigel_nb, you can get the release and the deb from a ppa on launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~doctormo [01:12] awesome doctormo :) === txwikinger is now known as txwikinger2 === txwikinger2 is now known as txwikinger === starcraft is now known as starcraftman [09:54] d [14:26] cprofitt: you about? [14:26] cprofitt is in #ubuntu-locoteams [14:27] I am thinking we should move forward with course development in moodle [14:27] we can come back to the bzr+asciidoc thing, there is always possibility for backporting [14:27] * mhall119|work wishes he had more time to be involved in ubuntu-learning [14:30] pleia2: [14:30] I am here -- what is up with bzr+asciidoc? [14:30] nigel is still working on documenting it [14:31] then it probably needs more review... [14:31] well... it will need more review after we use it the first time with Moodle... [14:31] yeah [14:32] do you have a partial course done in asciidoc -- on asciidoc itself... [14:32] so I think moving forward on other avenues is good instead of being stuck here [14:32] I could at least start converting it. [14:32] or are we looking to do other courses w/ Moodle? [14:32] for asciidoc itself I think we're just including a few basic examples in nigel's course and then linking to existing resources for more complicated things that people may want sometimes [14:32] we want to do all courses in moodle and asciidoc :) [14:33] we can start with moodle and backport to asciidoc once we get that workflow sorted [14:35] just so I am clear -- is there an asciidoc course on asciidoc that I can convert to Moodle? [14:36] no, it's part of nigel's course that he's still working on [14:37] ok -- so I should create a course in Moodle on some other subject [14:45] yeah, start developing in moodle :) [14:45] moodle? what? where? who? [14:45] I am going to chug away at some courses in open office, I just want to get material out there so it stops looking like we're a dead project that get stuck and stalled every 5 seconds [14:46] nigel_nb: we're moving forward with course development on other platforms, we've been stuck on bzr+asciidoc for months [14:46] pleia2: I agree [14:46] we'll use the bzr+asciidoc workflow eventually, but for now we need some content :) [14:46] plus it'll be less pressure on you ;) [14:47] I'd rather have everyone write in open office and someone sit and convert (I dont mind the conversion) [14:48] me too (I don't mind conversion either, it's relaxing work!) [14:48] then I say go for it [14:48] did u see the ubuntu manual project? [14:49] they are going to bring out a new version every cycle starting from lucid [14:50] ubuntu manual project? [14:51] yeah or something like that [14:51] I don't think so, link? [14:51] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual [14:51] now I think they have a channel and stuff [14:55] oh boy [14:55] there are too many of these projects floating around :) [14:56] they have slightly different goals from us [14:56] but I'm loving it ;) [14:57] Yeah -- manuals can be the source of training, but they are not courses or training [14:57] they would be a good team to work with when we need documentation for courses though [14:57] yeah [14:58] exactly my point [14:59] with lucid, we are going to cross a certain threshold I'm sure [14:59] pleia2: this course look like a good one to finish up - http://learn.ufbt.net/course/view.php?id=8 [15:00] cprofitt: yeah, that's a great one [15:00] though we did not make this one - [15:00] http://learn.ufbt.net/course/view.php?id=6 [15:00] it is there [15:00] we could open it up and advertise it [15:00] * pleia2 nods [15:01] this one too - http://learn.ufbt.net/course/view.php?id=5 [15:02] I can also see if any of the Ubuntu Educators would like to assist with making Moodle courses [15:02] the community is growing slowly... but we are up to 28 members [15:02] ubuntu educators? [15:04] it should probably be documented somewhere what all these teams are, I get so confused [15:05] Ubuntu Educators = people associated with EDU that use Ubuntu [15:05] there was no forum for them, no project for them, so I decided to create a community [15:05] and see if it grows [15:57] any UK based educators might like to pop in to the BETT educational tradeshow next week [15:57] http://opensourceschools.org.uk/bett-open-source-caf.html-0 [15:58] I will be there handing out Ubuntu CDs and telling people about open source in education === txwikinger2 is now known as txwikinger [17:13] cjohnston: you're going to hate me [17:14] I think User Days discussions should happen on the -classroom list :x [17:14] cjohnston: where are they happening now? [17:14] -learning [17:14] I was indecisive about where they belonged [17:14] so I said "have everyone join -learning!" [17:15] ??? [17:15] I changed my mind, it really should be on -classroom (at the time I was considering shutting down the -classroom list) [17:15] pleia2: why one over the other... [17:15] I'm lost. All I got was two pings [17:15] cjohnston_: want me to paste to you? [17:15] I almost think it should go on three lists -- BT, Learning, Classroom [17:16] Please. I can't scroll up [17:16] done [17:16] cprofitt: yeah, this is what I'm so torn about [17:16] cjohnston: what client are you using? [17:16] my vision for UCLP was to be an umbrella team that would include -classroom and BTEFG [17:17] I kinda took that a bit further pulling all -classroom stuff here [17:17] I'm not at home. I'm on a cell [17:17] k [17:17] and UCLP really is for course development [17:17] * cprofitt nods [17:17] When I get home I can scroll up [17:17] anyway, the holidays helped me sort out my thoughts on the matter [17:17] as the umbrella though -- itis the one place that folks of either team would be on a list right? [17:18] pleia2: So far nothing has gone out on a mailing list [17:18] cprofitt: yeah, I think so [17:18] I guess that would push me toward using the UCLP mailing list [17:18] cjohnston_: yeah, but we told people to sign up for -learning :) now I feel bad to say "oh, and sign up for -classroom too" [17:18] since it is an umbrella [17:19] though to be honest -- it might be best to cross-post to the mailing lists involved with each project [17:19] yeah, I agree [17:19] I'll say it. But I'll blame u [17:19] ;-) [17:19] so x-post, maybe nudge people to follow-up on -classroom since that's where the classroom team core is [17:19] is classroom the 'core' team to the effort? [17:20] yeah, for all the irc classes [17:20] like User Days [17:21] k [17:21] then yes... x-post and have follow-ups go to classroom [17:21] pleia2: we can talk more when I get home. I've g2g [17:21] is there a way to 'force' the reply to? [17:22] cprofitt: not force, but you can set one [17:22] well... make default? [17:23] yeah, by setting a reply-to in the header [17:23] that should work then [17:23] the mailing list might not overwrite that === nigelbabu is now known as Guest95762 === Guest95762 is now known as stackedagaint === stackedagaint is now known as stackedagainst [22:13] pleia2: ping?
