mgariepygood morning everyone14:18
stgraberhey mgariepy14:22
mgariepyhow you doing stgraber ?14:41
stgrabervery good :) Testing some edubuntu and gently upgrading a bunch of services to Lucid where their hardy-equivalent were lacking important features ;)14:42
akgranerhighvolt1ge, stgraber   - http://www.ubuntu-user.com/Online/Blogs/Amber-Graner-You-in-Ubuntu/Edubuntu-Empowering-Enjoyable-Education-one-desktop-at-a-time!14:46
stgraberakgraner: "Module not found"14:47
akgranerdang it - They must still have the public link down - let me call them and find out...14:48
akgranerstgraber, can you get to it this way - http://www.ubuntu-user.com/Online/Blogs/Amber-Graner-You-in-Ubuntu14:49
stgraberok, found the issue ;) that "!" isn't copy/pasted and so the URL doesn't work. Manually adding it at the end of the URL make it work14:50
akgranerThe site admins  were working on the site and have my permissions for adding images set wrong - so I am working on it14:50
akgranerstr14:55
akgranerautotab fail :-(14:55
akgranerstgraber, thanks as soon as they fix my permissions - I'll add the images14:56
stgrabergreat, thanks14:56
akgranersorry it took so long14:56
akgranerAlso Issue 6 of Ubuntu User will have the CD with Edubuntu on it - Has any one talked to you all about anything for the Print Magazine?14:58
stgrabernope, not me at least and I don't think Jonathan was contacted either14:59
mhall119good interview14:59
akgranerstgraber, okie dokie - let me send an email then - Issue 5 goes to print Thursday14:59
akgranerThen we start working on Issue 6 - If you haven't heard back from by UDS will you ask me about it please15:00
akgranerstgraber, and you all have permission to use a 2 x 4  above the neck and shoulders if you need too15:03
stgraberakgraner: will you be physically at UDS this time too or remotely as you did for UDS-Karmic ?15:05
akgranerstgraber, I'll be in Brussels15:06
akgranerso one evening we can knock out the article with screen shots and all that good stuff if you all want15:07
stgraberyep, sounds good. I'm still hoping for Jonathan to make it but he'd first need his passport back so he can apply for a european visa ... now that we are less than two weeks again, it becomes less and less likely to happen :(15:08
akgraner:-(15:09
akgranerI'll keep my fingers crossed15:09
mhall119I hope the next UDS is in USA, so I don't need a passport15:09
stgrabermhall119: currently it's a Europe-USA rotation, so if it stays that way you should be fine.15:10
dindaakgraner:  did you manage to interview Chris Kenyon or anyone at Canonical about Edubuntu?15:10
mhall119stgraber: I thought it was Europe-N. America15:10
stgrabermhall119: well, last time it was outside the US in north america, it was in Montreal, not sure how long ago that was.15:11
mhall119yeah, but I think new laws mean I need a passport even for Canada15:11
stgrabermhall119: if I remember well (I live in Canada but I'm swiss so I need a passport to go to the US myself), you can sort-of upgrade your driving licence to act as some kind of passport to go to Canada15:12
stgrabermhall119: it's supposed to be a lot easier and cheaper than getting an actual passport15:13
akgranerdinda, not for this post - was hoping to do all that at UDS15:13
akgranerI have Chris listed on my Interview spreadsheet though15:13
stgraberdinda: that'd indeed be an interesting interview ;)15:13
mhall119stgraber: I'll look into it, thanks15:14
mhall119I just need to get a password anyway15:14
dindaakgraner: ok, was hoping to get some 'official' word from them on status/future of h ow they see Edubuntu15:14
mhall119so Canonical can give me free trips to Europe15:14
akgranerI had him listed for another topic, but will put Edubuntu on there as well15:14
akgranerdinda, gotcha15:14
dindastgraber:  yes, been trying to get official word as I hear from one camp the Edubuntu is officially supported and sometimes no response. . .15:14
akgranerdinda, or anyone feel free to pm or email me questions and I'll see how to work them in15:15
dindastgraber: was trying to get a definitive answer if a school/person wanted to buy paid support for an Edubuntu install, could they?15:15
dindastgraber et al:  I'm working on a Using Edubuntu 9.10 course right now, CC licensed, so anyone acces teh course15:16
stgraberdinda: my understanding so far (and that's what's know advertised as meta-information in the archive) is that components that are also part of ubuntu and kubuntu should have the same level of support as they have in ubuntu/kubuntu but the additional packages we include aren't supported (in the archive, it appears as a missing Supported: field).15:17
dindaI hope to update it to the 10.04 release in time for summer and all those teachers with time on their hands :)15:17
stgraberdinda: would be great to have an official statement and not just have to guess though15:17
dindastgraber: exactly, I think even Canonical is confused at the moment but it will get worked out15:17
stgraberdinda: yeah, 10.04 should be a great release. The menu editor and fixed sabayon should make managing a classroom environment a lot easier and LTSP is just a click away now (instead of having to use the text installer for it as we had in the past).15:18
dindastgraber: I've been running 9.10 but look forward to upgrading soon and testing the ltsp stuff soon15:19
stgraberdinda: will you be in Brussels ? It seems that we managed to miss each other at last UDS even though you told me which days you'd be there ;)15:19
dindastgraber: unfortunately wont' be in Brussels :(15:20
dindastgraber: but will try to listen in remotely15:20
akgranerstgraber, dinda I noted the support question - if you all have more just drop me an email15:21
akgranercatch you all laters and as soon as I can I'll add the images15:22
stgraberakgraner: ok, thanks15:22
