[11:08] hi everyone! [11:11] highvoltage: hi, do you have decent internet again ? [11:11] 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] stgraber: we don't have a gobby/wiki page for release announcement yet do we? [11:12] highvoltage: can we try some skype (no video though ;)) ? there's a few things we should discuss [11:12] ok [11:12] highvoltage: we have a gobby document but it's a simple copy/paste from 9.10 [11:12] * highvoltage starts up netbook [11:14] highvoltage: btw, if I believe gnome weather thingy, it's actually warmer here in Switzerland than in Cape Town ;) [11:14] 24C here according to my gnome weather thingy :) [11:15] (which is actually a bit warmer than usual for this time of the year) [11:16] 25C here this morning ;) [13:14] simple question... can anyone link me to a site where i can get a downloadable format of the ubuntu documention walkthrou's.... [15:07] Morning all [15:15] highvoltage: Hey, here in Canada yet? [15:16] 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] 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] highvoltage: How come it's taking them so long?! [15:21] Have you phoned them? [15:23] 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] sbalneav: they don't accept phone calls. only posts and faxes. not sure what that says about Canadians :) [15:24] Friggin conservative government. :( [15:24] *I* didn't vote for the scoundrels. [15:26] 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] sbalneav: heh, thanks but it seems I'll just have to wait it out [15:29] Are you sure? I certainly don't mind running this down for you. [16:56] afternoon all, and happy release day! [16:57] highvoltage: hmm, are you an op? because the channel still says "9.10 is released!" [16:57] the topic needs updating :) [16:59] or does it? what time is it actually officially released? lucid I mean [17:08] ubuntu.com still says 9.10 [17:15] bencrisford: it'll be released when it's released [17:15] mhall119: that makes sense :), but when will that be ;) [17:16] sometime before the end of today [17:26] bencrisford, go to #ubuntu-release-party and wait for it to come by :) [17:27] ogra: Ok :D, I might just do that [17:28] thats one busy channel :/ [17:29] many people are waiting :) [17:29] (over 1200 this time, new record for that channel) [17:30] 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] wow :S [17:35] are we [edubuntu] respinning? [17:35] yes [17:36] and stgraber is whirling to get them tested i think [17:36] edubuntu as already been completely tested, we are just waiting for the announcement [17:36] (though I'm doing some more tests) [17:36] ah i thought amd64 was still behind [17:36] nope, fader did amd64, I'm just doing it as well to have more coverage [17:36] ah [17:37] * ogra is happy for no grub on ARM :) [17:37] i had a relaxing day [17:37] ... [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] stgraber: cool [17:41] you guys been busy today :D [17:42] yeah, last busy day, then vacation until UDS ;) [17:42] (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] hehe [17:44] bencrisford: 9.10 /is/ released :) [17:44] 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] hehe, yeah the version numbers go by so fast [17:45] when I say to people who don't know about the version conventions, they assume its one up from 10.03 [17:45] so it doesnt sound as exciting as I try and make out to them [17:46] hmm, that didnt sound right :P [17:46] it doesnt sound as exciting as I try and make it sound [17:48] until I explain, obviously [17:49] bencrisford: :) [17:49] * bencrisford should be preparing for his OW session next week :( [17:49] I keep putting it off [17:50] stgraber: do we have the ubuntu font anywhere? [17:50] highvoltage: I don't think so [17:50] highvoltage: I only received the letters as svg files [17:50] ok, perhaps someone on -devel will have it [17:51] 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] I opened it up in gimp, and then realised that I didn't have the font :P [17:52] bencrisford: I'm busy with that as we speak :) [17:52] bencrisford: except that I'm dropping the banner entirely and replacing it with an image for the content page [17:52] highvoltage: ok :) [17:53] 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] but if we're dropping it, no need :) [17:55] bencrisford: the whole site will be dropped soon anyway :) [17:56] (in favour of hedgemadge's fork) [17:57] woo :D [17:57] * bencrisford needs food :( [17:57] * bencrisford searches for biscuits [18:17] stgraber: eek, we don't have release notes yet do we? [18:18] highvoltage: we don't have any edubuntu-specific release notes so we should just link to ubuntu's [18:19] stgraber: righto [18:22] 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] highvoltage: you can flip the switch [18:26] AYAYAYAY!!! [18:26] (that means Edubuntu 10.04 is now officialy release ;)) [18:26] switch flipped [18:26] congratulations and thanks to everyone!!! [18:27] highvoltage: access denied [18:27] highvoltage: on /news/10.04-release [18:27] eeeeek [18:28] ah yes I see there was one switch that wasn't flipped :) [18:29] and another weekend without internet for the UK ;) [18:30] hie hie :) [18:32] 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] highvoltage: ok, sounds good [18:32] Congrats everyone, I think it's the best edubuntu release so far [18:34] it's certainly been my most active one :) [18:35] * alkisg will try to get more involved in the next lts, after his phd :) === jterrill is now known as JoshuaTerrill === JoshuaTerrill is now known as JoshuaTerrill-do === JoshuaTerrill-do is now known as JoshuaTerrill [18:48] D= I missed the switch flipping! [18:50] highvoltage: stgraber: hmm, I am getting a db error from edubuntu.org [18:51] bencrisford: I guess mysql just crashed [18:51] dont worry! working now! [18:51] heh ok [18:51] highvoltage: yeah :D the mysql error was "Too many connections" according to drupal [18:51] I guess our server isnt used to being so popular! [18:53] yay for popularity [18:53] need to start using memcache [18:54] 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] Mark's blog seems to be dead as well ;) [18:55] stgraber: works for me, but no images [18:58] anyway, were in Lucid! congratz everyone :) [18:58] * bencrisford cracks open champagne and shares celebratory ice cream [19:00] Huzzah for us [19:04] bencrisford: \o/ [19:26] wow, the kalzium molecular editor actually rocks :D === juliux_ is now known as juliux === juliux is now known as Guest14098 === Guest14098 is now known as juliux [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] 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] highvoltage: lol, well the penguin thing shut them up :P [21:28] 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] people might listen to my ramblings about linux a little more if I had food for them [21:28] although I try not to ramble [21:29] normally I just link people to the u.c release pages nowadays, and I seem to get a better response [21:31] 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] bencrisford: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/300 [21:38] highvoltage: haha cool! that edubuntu one is awesome! [21:40] :) [21:45] hmm, circle of friends sandwich sounds realistic, but not sure what it would be :P [21:45] realistic as in my culinary skills *might* just allow me to pull it off [21:46] highvoltage: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/mhall119#Baking%20Ubuntu [21:46] wow, I didn't realise this stuff was so popular [21:46] my wife got the idea from someone else's posting [21:46] I think akgraner sent it to her [21:47] heh [21:48] hmm, I could get like a load of candy and melt it into shape with a blowtorch
