[06:38] <alkisg> Good morning
[14:18] <mgariepy> good morning everyone
[14:22] <stgraber> hey mgariepy
[14:41] <mgariepy> how you doing stgraber ?
[14:42] <stgraber> very good :) Testing some edubuntu and gently upgrading a bunch of services to Lucid where their hardy-equivalent were lacking important features ;)
[14:46] <akgraner> highvolt1ge, stgraber   - http://www.ubuntu-user.com/Online/Blogs/Amber-Graner-You-in-Ubuntu/Edubuntu-Empowering-Enjoyable-Education-one-desktop-at-a-time!
[14:47] <stgraber> akgraner: "Module not found"
[14:48] <akgraner> dang it - They must still have the public link down - let me call them and find out...
[14:49] <akgraner> stgraber, can you get to it this way - http://www.ubuntu-user.com/Online/Blogs/Amber-Graner-You-in-Ubuntu
[14:50] <stgraber> ok, 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 work
[14:50] <akgraner> The site admins  were working on the site and have my permissions for adding images set wrong - so I am working on it
[14:55] <akgraner> str
[14:55] <akgraner> autotab fail :-(
[14:56] <akgraner> stgraber, thanks as soon as they fix my permissions - I'll add the images
[14:56] <stgraber> great, thanks
[14:56] <akgraner> sorry it took so long
[14:58] <akgraner> Also 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?
[14:59] <stgraber> nope, not me at least and I don't think Jonathan was contacted either
[14:59] <mhall119> good interview
[14:59] <akgraner> stgraber, okie dokie - let me send an email then - Issue 5 goes to print Thursday
[15:00] <akgraner> Then we start working on Issue 6 - If you haven't heard back from by UDS will you ask me about it please
[15:03] <akgraner> stgraber, and you all have permission to use a 2 x 4  above the neck and shoulders if you need too
[15:05] <stgraber> akgraner: will you be physically at UDS this time too or remotely as you did for UDS-Karmic ?
[15:06] <akgraner> stgraber, I'll be in Brussels
[15:07] <akgraner> so one evening we can knock out the article with screen shots and all that good stuff if you all want
[15:08] <stgraber> yep, 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 :(
[15:09] <akgraner> :-(
[15:09] <akgraner> I'll keep my fingers crossed
[15:09] <mhall119> I hope the next UDS is in USA, so I don't need a passport
[15:10] <stgraber> mhall119: currently it's a Europe-USA rotation, so if it stays that way you should be fine.
[15:10] <dinda> akgraner:  did you manage to interview Chris Kenyon or anyone at Canonical about Edubuntu?
[15:10] <mhall119> stgraber: I thought it was Europe-N. America
[15:11] <stgraber> mhall119: well, last time it was outside the US in north america, it was in Montreal, not sure how long ago that was.
[15:11] <mhall119> yeah, but I think new laws mean I need a passport even for Canada
[15:12] <stgraber> mhall119: 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 Canada
[15:13] <stgraber> mhall119: it's supposed to be a lot easier and cheaper than getting an actual passport
[15:13] <akgraner> dinda, not for this post - was hoping to do all that at UDS
[15:13] <akgraner> I have Chris listed on my Interview spreadsheet though
[15:13] <stgraber> dinda: that'd indeed be an interesting interview ;)
[15:14] <mhall119> stgraber: I'll look into it, thanks
[15:14] <mhall119> I just need to get a password anyway
[15:14] <dinda> akgraner: ok, was hoping to get some 'official' word from them on status/future of h ow they see Edubuntu
[15:14] <mhall119> so Canonical can give me free trips to Europe
[15:14] <akgraner> I had him listed for another topic, but will put Edubuntu on there as well
[15:14] <akgraner> dinda, gotcha
[15:14] <dinda> stgraber:  yes, been trying to get official word as I hear from one camp the Edubuntu is officially supported and sometimes no response. . .
[15:15] <akgraner> dinda, or anyone feel free to pm or email me questions and I'll see how to work them in
[15:15] <dinda> stgraber: was trying to get a definitive answer if a school/person wanted to buy paid support for an Edubuntu install, could they?
[15:16] <dinda> stgraber et al:  I'm working on a Using Edubuntu 9.10 course right now, CC licensed, so anyone acces teh course
[15:17] <stgraber> dinda: 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] <dinda> I hope to update it to the 10.04 release in time for summer and all those teachers with time on their hands :)
[15:17] <stgraber> dinda: would be great to have an official statement and not just have to guess though
[15:17] <dinda> stgraber: exactly, I think even Canonical is confused at the moment but it will get worked out
[15:18] <stgraber> dinda: 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).
[15:19] <dinda> stgraber: I've been running 9.10 but look forward to upgrading soon and testing the ltsp stuff soon
[15:19] <stgraber> dinda: 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 ;)
[15:20] <dinda> stgraber: unfortunately wont' be in Brussels :(
[15:20] <dinda> stgraber: but will try to listen in remotely
[15:21] <akgraner> stgraber, dinda I noted the support question - if you all have more just drop me an email
[15:22] <akgraner> catch you all laters and as soon as I can I'll add the images
[15:22] <stgraber> akgraner: ok, thanks
[17:25] <bencrisford> highvoltage: hows your internet?
[18:33] <highvoltage> bencrisford: totally rubbish. sorry for all the parts/joins
[18:34] <highvoltage> eek, I've been thrown in ##fix_your_connection
