[19:00]  * stgraber looks at his watch, looks like it's MEETING time !
[19:00] <alkisg> \o/
[19:00] <stgraber> highvoltage, mgariepy, alkisg, nixternal, sbalneav, lns !
[19:01] <stgraber> #startmeeting
[19:01] <MootBot> Meeting started at 13:01. The chair is stgraber.
[19:01] <MootBot> Commands Available: [TOPIC], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE]
[19:01] <stgraber> Yeah, bot working again !
[19:02] <stgraber> [TOPIC] Spec status update
[19:02] <MootBot> New Topic:  Spec status update
[19:02] <stgraber> unfortunately, highvoltage doesn't seem to be around at the moment, so we'll have to a wait a bit more for a netbook status update
[19:03] <stgraber> on my side, I started some heavy nagging and debugging to fix the DVD builds
[19:03] <stgraber> I changed the seeds yesterday to include mgariepy's menu editor as soon as it's in universe
[19:04] <stgraber> I also changed the langpack list of include all languages (as we used to) but also all the required input methods, translation packages and fonts
[19:04] <stgraber> that way we should have a working edubuntu in all languages, though I found quite a few interesting issues relating to that and I'm doing langpack debugging today ;)
[19:04] <alkisg> :)
[19:04] <alkisg> Any news about that live ltsp thing?
[19:04] <stgraber> We haven't had any change on bug 509970
[19:05] <stgraber> which is required to get the 2 extra free gigs that we'll partially use for LTSP
[19:05] <stgraber> LTSP live itself (as of the script) is on my laptop and will need to be pushed to the build server whenever we'll have enough space for it
[19:06] <stgraber> on my side, it's pretty much it
[19:06] <alkisg> Very good... looks like we've mostly done our part!
[19:06] <stgraber> well, yeah but we have two weeks or so to get our DVD image fixed and the builder updated
[19:06] <stgraber> and ubuntu-cdimage isn't very responsive on LP ...
[19:07] <alkisg> Hrm :(
[19:07] <stgraber> I'll soon start poking people directly rather than the team itself, maybe it'll be more efficient
[19:07] <stgraber> mgariepy:
[19:08] <mgariepy> i have corrected the pacaking problem of edubuntu-menueditor
[19:08] <mgariepy> put (with the help of stgraber) roseta trasnlation for this application
[19:09] <mgariepy> as soon as the binary package is avalaible on lucid universe i'll rebuild it with the corrections.
[19:10] <mgariepy> beside that, i didn't had time to write the user manual. i'll probably start this tonight.
[19:10] <stgraber> current publication status is that edubuntu-menueditor is accepted in the archive as source package (apt-cache showsrc edubuntu-menueditor) but the binary package is still in the queue, should be fixed real soon
[19:10] <mgariepy> any questions ?
[19:11] <stgraber> great, thanks
[19:11] <stgraber> next up is the website though I don't see anyone around ... (that meeting room really feels empty today)
[19:12]  * Lns is here :)
[19:12] <stgraber> Lns: hey
[19:12] <Lns> hiya starcraft
[19:12] <Lns> err stgraber hehe
[19:12] <stgraber> hehe ;)
[19:12] <stgraber> ok, I'm guessing we'll get a better status update on the website next week then ;)
[19:12] <stgraber> [TOPIC] Documentation day
[19:12] <MootBot> New Topic:  Documentation day
[19:13] <stgraber> it was discussed last week that we should define a date for the doc day
[19:13] <stgraber> that'd be after the Feature Freeze
[19:13]  * stgraber looks at the release schedule
[19:13] <stgraber> UI freeze is on the 4th of March
[19:14] <stgraber> the week of the 11th of March seems good
[19:14] <stgraber> as it's after UI freeze and before the first beta
[19:14] <stgraber> and before the Doc string freeze
[19:14] <Lns> sounds good, what exactly is involved in doc day?
[19:15] <stgraber> probably going through the Edubuntu content on help.ubuntu.com, making sure it still applies
[19:15] <stgraber> updating screenshots
[19:15] <stgraber> having a look at the handbook
[19:15] <stgraber> nixternal and sbalneav would be a lot better to explain what that day is about though they don't seem to be around :(
[19:16] <Lns> :(
[19:16] <stgraber> I'd suggest we go with the 9th of March (tuesday)
[19:16] <stgraber> anyone against that date ? ;)
[19:16] <Lns> not me
[19:17] <mgariepy> not me.
[19:17] <stgraber> [AGREED] Documentation day on Tuesday the 9th of March
[19:17] <alkisg> You won't get much negative votes today :)
[19:17] <MootBot> AGREED received:  Documentation day on Tuesday the 9th of March
[19:17] <stgraber> alkisg: makes the meeting so much faster ;)
[19:18] <stgraber> [TOPIC} Other businesses ?
[19:18] <MootBot> New Topic: [TOPIC} Other businesses ?
[19:18] <stgraber> doh, I forgot artwork once again ...
[19:18]  * stgraber adds it to the agenda
[19:18] <Lns> Well, I did my first edu 9.10 install a couple of days ago and have been writing some notes, not sure if it'd fit into a meeting or i should bring it up in #edubuntu
[19:19] <stgraber> Lns: maybe post them to the ML ?
[19:19] <Lns> ok
[19:19] <alkisg> Lns, 9.10? You should be trying 10.04 now :D
[19:19] <Lns> is there an iso?
[19:19] <alkisg> Yup
[19:19] <stgraber> alkisg: well, we'd need a working DVD for that ;) hasn't built for 2 weeks
[19:19] <stgraber> Lns: yeah, there's but it's quite old
[19:19] <Lns> lol.. ok i'll go get it then =)
[19:19] <alkisg> There's still the old dvd
[19:19] <Lns> oh
[19:20]  * Lns will wait for the next build :)
[19:20] <stgraber> for artwork, it was another of Jonathan's items though I guess you all saw the proposed backgrounds from madsrh on the ML ?
[19:21] <stgraber> I'm going to see with Jonathan to update our backgrounds to include these, probably set the one that was the most popular as default and update the icon theme
[19:21] <stgraber> I also asked Jonathan if he could provide us with a screenshot for each proposed icon set
[19:21]  * alkisg liked those backgrounds, but wasn't so excited to vote on making them our default artwork...
[19:21] <Lns> I agree with including the backgrounds, but also agrees with alkisg
[19:22] <Lns> I think we could make it more suitable for all ages
[19:22] <Lns> It's definitely better than a couple years ago
[19:22] <stgraber> so far, for icon theme we have humanity, gartoon and breathe
[19:22] <Lns> stgraber: where can we view those?
[19:23] <stgraber> Lns: yeah, if we do change the background soon, it'll be mostly so our testers actually notice a change ;) These were a first draft and I expect more to come
[19:23] <Lns> mmk
[19:23] <stgraber> and I don't plan on dropping any background from the artwork package yet, we have space so it's not really an issue
[19:23] <Lns> totally. The more the merrier =)
[19:23] <stgraber> Lns: they are all packaged, easiest is to install them and try them out
[19:24] <stgraber> though we have a fresher gartoon in Scott's PPA
[19:24] <Lns> is gartoon the default in 9.10?
[19:24] <stgraber> yeah, gartoon is the one we have for a while
[19:25] <Lns> I think it's a good iconset for primary schools
[19:25] <Lns> but at least in 9.10 it was inconsistent with the rest of the menus
[19:25]  * Lns might be barking about something that's already been fixed in 10.04
[19:26] <alkisg> I'm also not too font of gartoon... I think sbalneav likes it a lot, though
[19:27] <stgraber> we may offer different gnome themes too if we want, one for primary school (using gartoon), one for secondary school, ...
[19:27] <Lns> stgraber: that's a great idea
[19:28] <Lns> the more we focus on separating pri/sec schools (fine grain it) the more people will be able to relate to it
[19:28] <Lns> and therefore feel good about using/installing it
[19:31] <stgraber> sorry, just got quickly disturbed at the office ;)
[19:31] <Lns> hehe, figured
[19:32] <stgraber> [AGREED] Investigate having more than one gnome theme with different icon/background choice
[19:32] <MootBot> AGREED received:  Investigate having more than one gnome theme with different icon/background choice
[19:32] <Lns> I think we could do a lot with theming in Edubuntu. It might be the 'killer feature' we need that ubuntu doesn't have for schools
[19:32] <Lns> we could survey schools as to the favorite subjects/topics in each grade and base a theme around it
[19:33] <Lns> think of an installer option for default themes..that would be kiler
[19:33] <Lns> killer*
[19:33] <stgraber> yeah, it's clearly something we will be able to improve over the next releases, for Lucid we are getting closer and closer to FeatureFreeze. So we won't be able to make everything automatic and shiny
[19:34] <Lns> sure, but the future is always open! =)
[19:38] <stgraber> ok, looks like we're done ;)
[19:38] <stgraber> #endmeeting
[19:38] <MootBot> Meeting finished at 13:38.
[19:39] <dhillon-v10> i guess i am late :)
[19:39] <Lns> hahaha
[19:39] <Lns> yes.
[19:39] <dhillon-v10> Lns: hi there :)
[19:39] <Lns> hey dhillon-v10
[19:40] <dhillon-v10> Lns: I was only a minute late though before the meeting ended
[19:40] <Lns> dhillon-v10: well you can check the logs to catch up =)
