[11:08] <highvoltage> hi everyone!
[11:11] <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
[11:12] <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
[11:14] <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 :)
[11:15] <highvoltage> (which is actually a bit warmer than usual for this time of the year)
[11:16] <stgraber> 25C here this morning ;)
[13:14] <Telenn> simple question... can anyone link me to a site where i can get a downloadable format of the ubuntu documention walkthrou's....
[15:07] <sbalneav> Morning all
[15:15] <sbalneav> highvoltage: Hey, here in Canada yet?
[15:16] <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)
[15:17] <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
[15:21] <sbalneav> highvoltage: How come it's taking them so long?!
[15:21] <sbalneav> Have you phoned them?
[15:23] <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 :)
[15:24] <sbalneav> Friggin conservative government. :(
[15:24] <sbalneav> *I* didn't vote for the scoundrels.
[15:26] <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.
[15:29] <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.
[16:56] <bencrisford> afternoon all, and happy release day!
[16:57] <bencrisford> highvoltage: hmm, are you an op?  because the channel still says "9.10 is released!"
[16:57] <bencrisford> the topic needs updating :)
[16:59] <bencrisford> or does it?  what time is it actually officially released?  lucid I mean
[17:08] <bencrisford> ubuntu.com still says 9.10
[17:15] <mhall119> bencrisford: it'll be released when it's released
[17:15] <bencrisford> mhall119: that makes sense :), but when will that be ;)
[17:16] <mhall119> sometime before the end of today
[17:26] <ogra> bencrisford, go to #ubuntu-release-party and wait for it to come by :)
[17:27] <bencrisford> ogra: Ok :D, I might just do that
[17:28] <bencrisford> thats one busy channel :/
[17:29] <ogra> many people are waiting :)
[17:29] <ogra> (over 1200 this time, new record for that channel)
[17:30] <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
[17:34] <bencrisford> wow :S
[17:35] <bencrisford> are we [edubuntu] respinning?
[17:35] <ogra> yes
[17:36] <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
[17:37]  * ogra is happy for no grub on ARM :)
[17:37] <ogra> i had a relaxing day
[17:37] <stgraber> ...
[17:38]  * 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 ;)
[17:41] <bencrisford> stgraber: cool
[17:41] <bencrisford> you guys been busy today :D
[17:42] <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
[17:44] <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
[17:45] <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
[17:46] <bencrisford> hmm, that didnt sound right :P
[17:46] <bencrisford> it doesnt sound as exciting as I try and make it sound
[17:48] <bencrisford> until I explain, obviously
[17:49] <highvoltage> bencrisford: :)
[17:49]  * bencrisford should be preparing for his OW session next week :(
[17:49] <bencrisford> I keep putting it off
[17:50] <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
[17:51] <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
[17:52] <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 :)
[17:53] <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 :)
[17:55] <highvoltage> bencrisford: the whole site will be dropped soon anyway :)
[17:56] <highvoltage> (in favour of hedgemadge's fork)
[17:57] <bencrisford> woo :D
[17:57]  * bencrisford needs food :(
[17:57]  * bencrisford searches for biscuits
[18:17] <highvoltage> stgraber: eek, we don't have release notes yet do we?
[18:18] <stgraber> highvoltage: we don't have any edubuntu-specific release notes so we should just link to ubuntu's
[18:19] <highvoltage> stgraber: righto
[18:22] <highvoltage> bencrisford: I ended up aborting my idea for a big picture since that theme can't do what I want it to do
[18:26] <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!!!
[18:27] <stgraber> highvoltage: access denied
[18:27] <stgraber> highvoltage: on /news/10.04-release
[18:27] <highvoltage> eeeeek
[18:28] <highvoltage> ah yes I see there was one switch that wasn't flipped :)
[18:29] <stgraber> and another weekend without internet for the UK ;)
[18:30] <highvoltage> hie hie :)
[18:32] <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
[18:34] <highvoltage> it's certainly been my most active one :)
[18:35]  * alkisg will try to get more involved in the next lts, after his phd :)
[18:48] <bencrisford> D= I missed the switch flipping!
[18:50] <bencrisford> highvoltage: stgraber: hmm, I am getting a db error from edubuntu.org
[18:51] <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!
[18:53] <mhall119> yay for popularity
[18:53] <mhall119> need to start using memcache
[18:54] <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 :)
[18:55] <stgraber> Mark's blog seems to be dead as well ;)
[18:55] <bencrisford> stgraber: works for me, but no images
[18:58] <bencrisford> anyway, were in Lucid!  congratz everyone :)
[18:58]  * bencrisford cracks open champagne and shares celebratory ice cream
[19:00] <sbalneav> Huzzah for us
[19:04] <highvoltage> bencrisford: \o/
[19:26] <bencrisford> wow, the kalzium molecular editor actually rocks :D
[21:13]  * 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
[21:26] <highvoltage> bencrisford: heh when you get to the level where you have to explain what a kernel is, then you've gotten too far :)
[21:27] <bencrisford> highvoltage: lol, well the penguin thing shut them up :P
[21:28] <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
[21:29] <bencrisford> normally I just link people to the u.c release pages nowadays, and I seem to get a better response
[21:31] <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
[21:35] <highvoltage> bencrisford: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/300
[21:38] <bencrisford> highvoltage: haha cool! that edubuntu one is awesome!
[21:40] <highvoltage> :)
[21:45] <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
[21:46] <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
[21:47] <highvoltage> heh
[21:48] <bencrisford> hmm, I could get like a load of candy and melt it into shape with a blowtorch
