| highvoltage | hi everyone! | 11:08 |
|---|---|---|
| stgraber | highvoltage: hi, do you have decent internet again ? | 11:11 |
| highvoltage | stgraber: decent might be a bit of a stretch, but it seems *way* better that it was earlier this week, it's actually pretty much usable | 11:11 |
| highvoltage | stgraber: we don't have a gobby/wiki page for release announcement yet do we? | 11:12 |
| stgraber | highvoltage: can we try some skype (no video though ;)) ? there's a few things we should discuss | 11:12 |
| highvoltage | ok | 11:12 |
| stgraber | highvoltage: we have a gobby document but it's a simple copy/paste from 9.10 | 11:12 |
| * highvoltage starts up netbook | 11:12 | |
| stgraber | highvoltage: btw, if I believe gnome weather thingy, it's actually warmer here in Switzerland than in Cape Town ;) | 11:14 |
| highvoltage | 24C here according to my gnome weather thingy :) | 11:14 |
| highvoltage | (which is actually a bit warmer than usual for this time of the year) | 11:15 |
| stgraber | 25C here this morning ;) | 11:16 |
| Telenn | simple question... can anyone link me to a site where i can get a downloadable format of the ubuntu documention walkthrou's.... | 13:14 |
| sbalneav | Morning all | 15:07 |
| sbalneav | highvoltage: Hey, here in Canada yet? | 15:15 |
| highvoltage | sbalneav: heh, I've almost given up on that, I can't even get the canadian embassy to send me back my passport (with or without a visa) | 15:16 |
| highvoltage | sbalneav: which is a real bummer because I can't even apply for my belgian visa without my passport, so at this rate no uds for me | 15:17 |
| sbalneav | highvoltage: How come it's taking them so long?! | 15:21 |
| sbalneav | Have you phoned them? | 15:21 |
| sbalneav | Crumb. I'm trying to build a package, and pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy isn't being satisfied, but it gives no indication as to what's failing. | 15:23 |
| highvoltage | sbalneav: they don't accept phone calls. only posts and faxes. not sure what that says about Canadians :) | 15:23 |
| sbalneav | Friggin conservative government. :( | 15:24 |
| sbalneav | *I* didn't vote for the scoundrels. | 15:24 |
| sbalneav | Where did you send it to? I work for a provincial government agency, so I know some feds. Tell me where you sent it to, I'll try and make some phone calls, find out who you're supposed to contact. | 15:26 |
| highvoltage | sbalneav: heh, thanks but it seems I'll just have to wait it out | 15:29 |
| sbalneav | Are you sure? I certainly don't mind running this down for you. | 15:29 |
| bencrisford | afternoon all, and happy release day! | 16:56 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: hmm, are you an op? because the channel still says "9.10 is released!" | 16:57 |
| bencrisford | the topic needs updating :) | 16:57 |
| bencrisford | or does it? what time is it actually officially released? lucid I mean | 16:59 |
| bencrisford | ubuntu.com still says 9.10 | 17:08 |
| mhall119 | bencrisford: it'll be released when it's released | 17:15 |
| bencrisford | mhall119: that makes sense :), but when will that be ;) | 17:15 |
| mhall119 | sometime before the end of today | 17:16 |
| ogra | bencrisford, go to #ubuntu-release-party and wait for it to come by :) | 17:26 |
| bencrisford | ogra: Ok :D, I might just do that | 17:27 |
| bencrisford | thats one busy channel :/ | 17:28 |
| ogra | many people are waiting :) | 17:29 |
| ogra | (over 1200 this time, new record for that channel) | 17:29 |
| alkisg | They had to respin the CDs due to some grub bug, so it's going to delay a little: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODE5Ng | 17:30 |
| bencrisford | wow :S | 17:34 |
| bencrisford | are we [edubuntu] respinning? | 17:35 |
| ogra | yes | 17:35 |
| ogra | and stgraber is whirling to get them tested i think | 17:36 |
| stgraber | edubuntu as already been completely tested, we are just waiting for the announcement | 17:36 |
| stgraber | (though I'm doing some more tests) | 17:36 |
| ogra | ah i thought amd64 was still behind | 17:36 |
| stgraber | nope, fader did amd64, I'm just doing it as well to have more coverage | 17:36 |
| ogra | ah | 17:36 |
| * ogra is happy for no grub on ARM :) | 17:37 | |
| ogra | i had a relaxing day | 17:37 |
| stgraber | ... | 17:37 |
| * stgraber is installing his first 10.04 production server at the moment, a nice LTSP server based on a Core i5 and 4GB of RAM, should be enough for 6 clients ;) | 17:38 | |
| bencrisford | stgraber: cool | 17:41 |
| bencrisford | you guys been busy today :D | 17:41 |
| stgraber | yeah, last busy day, then vacation until UDS ;) | 17:42 |
| stgraber | (well, technically I'm already on vacation, it's just that I'm probably even more busy this week than a regular work week ;)) | 17:42 |
| bencrisford | hehe | 17:42 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: 9.10 /is/ released :) | 17:44 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: yeah :D, but I was thinking lucid had been released, didn't occur to me that it might be later in the day :P | 17:44 |
| highvoltage | hehe, yeah the version numbers go by so fast | 17:44 |
| bencrisford | when I say to people who don't know about the version conventions, they assume its one up from 10.03 | 17:45 |
| bencrisford | so it doesnt sound as exciting as I try and make out to them | 17:45 |
| bencrisford | hmm, that didnt sound right :P | 17:46 |
| bencrisford | it doesnt sound as exciting as I try and make it sound | 17:46 |
| bencrisford | until I explain, obviously | 17:48 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: :) | 17:49 |
| * bencrisford should be preparing for his OW session next week :( | 17:49 | |
| bencrisford | I keep putting it off | 17:49 |
| highvoltage | stgraber: do we have the ubuntu font anywhere? | 17:50 |
| stgraber | highvoltage: I don't think so | 17:50 |
| stgraber | highvoltage: I only received the letters as svg files | 17:50 |
| highvoltage | ok, perhaps someone on -devel will have it | 17:50 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: thats another thing I was going to mention. the banner on the edubuntu homepage - says 9.10, at some point we will need a 10.04 one | 17:51 |
| bencrisford | I opened it up in gimp, and then realised that I didn't have the font :P | 17:51 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: I'm busy with that as we speak :) | 17:52 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: except that I'm dropping the banner entirely and replacing it with an image for the content page | 17:52 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: ok :) | 17:52 |
| bencrisford | I was going to suggest that if we did have a banner, save the xcf somewhere dl'able to make it easily editable in future | 17:53 |
| bencrisford | but if we're dropping it, no need :) | 17:53 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: the whole site will be dropped soon anyway :) | 17:55 |
| highvoltage | (in favour of hedgemadge's fork) | 17:56 |
| bencrisford | woo :D | 17:57 |
| * bencrisford needs food :( | 17:57 | |
| * bencrisford searches for biscuits | 17:57 | |
| highvoltage | stgraber: eek, we don't have release notes yet do we? | 18:17 |
| stgraber | highvoltage: we don't have any edubuntu-specific release notes so we should just link to ubuntu's | 18:18 |
| highvoltage | stgraber: righto | 18:19 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: I ended up aborting my idea for a big picture since that theme can't do what I want it to do | 18:22 |
| stgraber | highvoltage: you can flip the switch | 18:26 |
| highvoltage | AYAYAYAY!!! | 18:26 |
| stgraber | (that means Edubuntu 10.04 is now officialy release ;)) | 18:26 |
| highvoltage | switch flipped | 18:26 |
| highvoltage | congratulations and thanks to everyone!!! | 18:26 |
| stgraber | highvoltage: access denied | 18:27 |
| stgraber | highvoltage: on /news/10.04-release | 18:27 |
| highvoltage | eeeeek | 18:27 |
| highvoltage | ah yes I see there was one switch that wasn't flipped :) | 18:28 |
| stgraber | and another weekend without internet for the UK ;) | 18:29 |
| highvoltage | hie hie :) | 18:30 |
| highvoltage | stgraber: I'm just going to add a small section under "More Information" that explains that we're working on a new website that will be available soon with updated content | 18:32 |
| stgraber | highvoltage: ok, sounds good | 18:32 |
| alkisg | Congrats everyone, I think it's the best edubuntu release so far | 18:32 |
| highvoltage | it's certainly been my most active one :) | 18:34 |
| * alkisg will try to get more involved in the next lts, after his phd :) | 18:35 | |

| bencrisford | D= I missed the switch flipping! | 18:48 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: stgraber: hmm, I am getting a db error from edubuntu.org | 18:50 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: I guess mysql just crashed | 18:51 |
| bencrisford | dont worry! working now! | 18:51 |
| highvoltage | heh ok | 18:51 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: yeah :D the mysql error was "Too many connections" according to drupal | 18:51 |
| bencrisford | I guess our server isnt used to being so popular! | 18:51 |
| mhall119 | yay for popularity | 18:53 |
| mhall119 | need to start using memcache | 18:53 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: that's the same server that runs markshuttleworth.com, the ubuntu fridge, and a bunch of other sites. at least if it goes down it's important enough to get back up real soon :) | 18:54 |
| stgraber | Mark's blog seems to be dead as well ;) | 18:55 |
| bencrisford | stgraber: works for me, but no images | 18:55 |
| bencrisford | anyway, were in Lucid! congratz everyone :) | 18:58 |
| * bencrisford cracks open champagne and shares celebratory ice cream | 18:58 | |
| sbalneav | Huzzah for us | 19:00 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: \o/ | 19:04 |
| bencrisford | wow, the kalzium molecular editor actually rocks :D | 19:26 |

| * bencrisford whilst trying to explain ubuntu to friends has resorted to telling them there is a little penguin in your computer that is called the kernel | 21:13 | |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: heh when you get to the level where you have to explain what a kernel is, then you've gotten too far :) | 21:26 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: lol, well the penguin thing shut them up :P | 21:27 |
| bencrisford | right now i'm trying to find a recipe for cookies or something so I can have some ubuntu or tux cookies to give people | 21:28 |
| bencrisford | people might listen to my ramblings about linux a little more if I had food for them | 21:28 |
| bencrisford | although I try not to ramble | 21:28 |
| bencrisford | normally I just link people to the u.c release pages nowadays, and I seem to get a better response | 21:29 |
| bencrisford | http://blog.josephhall.com/uploaded_images/DSC00379-tn.jpg - thats the sort of thing I was thinking :P, but it looks kind of hard... I might just cut some shapes in a slice of toast or something | 21:31 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/300 | 21:35 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: haha cool! that edubuntu one is awesome! | 21:38 |
| highvoltage | :) | 21:40 |
| bencrisford | hmm, circle of friends sandwich sounds realistic, but not sure what it would be :P | 21:45 |
| bencrisford | realistic as in my culinary skills *might* just allow me to pull it off | 21:45 |
| mhall119 | highvoltage: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/mhall119#Baking%20Ubuntu | 21:46 |
| bencrisford | wow, I didn't realise this stuff was so popular | 21:46 |
| mhall119 | my wife got the idea from someone else's posting | 21:46 |
| mhall119 | I think akgraner sent it to her | 21:46 |
| highvoltage | heh | 21:47 |
| bencrisford | hmm, I could get like a load of candy and melt it into shape with a blowtorch | 21:48 |
