bencrisfordmhall119: yay! :)20:02
* stgraber waves20:02

bencrisfordhttp://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-m/20:02
mhall119oh no20:02
mhall119:(20:02
highvoltagemhall119: yeah not very american-zone friendly :/20:03
bencrisfordmhall119: and the end just when I get home :/20:03
stgraberso that's 3am EDT20:03
sbalneavA bad spacebad?!20:03
sbalneavsounds.... bad!20:03
mhall119logs it is then20:03
highvoltagesbalneav: it is!20:03
bencrisfordmhall119: for me too :(20:03
mhall119I might make the last couple sessions20:03
highvoltagestgraber has also registered our specifications forthesessions at UDS, schedule will only be available from monday morning onwards20:04
highvoltagestgraber: if you could manipulate the schedule so that sessions are rather later than earlier, that would be great :)20:04
mhall119highvoltage: I'd imagine everyone will by vying for later sessions20:04
highvoltagemhall119: except people from Asia :)20:05
mhall119on behalf of their american remote participants20:05
mhall119true20:05
mhall119but we americans whine more20:05
highvoltagemhall119: not that it seems like that will beabig problem for us though20:05
stgraberhighvoltage: yeah, I'll try to have them in the afternoons20:05
bencrisfordnot just american participants, anyone who cant get IRC at school/work on UTC, UTC+1 is kind of stuffed20:06
highvoltagethat's basically it for technical, unless there's anything else?20:06
bencrisfordyes!20:06
highvoltagebencrisford: fire away20:06
bencrisfordnot sure it comes under technical actually..  but ive started now ;P20:06
bencrisfordthe other day I was looking around for some software to do revision timetables for me20:07
bencrisfordand I couldn't find one for linux20:07
mhall119what are revision timetables?20:07
bencrisfordlike, if you have alot of exams20:07
bencrisfordscheduling revision20:07
mhall119ok20:08
highvoltagehmm, Schooltool is supposed to have quite advanced scheduling capabilities. not that I've tried it yet :)20:08
mhall119is this for students or teachers?20:08
bencrisfordim thinking of starting work on one :), I was wondering if you guys thought it would be a good idea or if there is anything else20:08
bencrisfordmhall119: hopefully both20:08
bencrisfordso teachers/schools could use it for lession scheduling20:08
mhall119I'd look at schooltool first20:08
bencrisfordand students for revision20:08
mhall119see if it can be extended to do what you need20:08
bencrisfordok, I'll do that :)20:08
sbalneavI'll be getting involved in: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenLDAP-DIT20:08
mhall119otherwise, go for it20:08
bencrisfordbut I thought it could be a pretty cool thing20:08
highvoltageyeah, schooltool is probably most likely to be supported by Canonical too at some point since it's also funded by sabdfl20:08
bencrisfordand it could know when your exams are, and make sure you revise everything20:09
highvoltagebencrisford: schooltool didn't make it into 10.04 because of zope dependencies, which are likely to be fixed for 10.1020:09
mhall119highvoltage: are the zope issues that it used to have resolved?20:09
alkisgHi all20:09
bencrisford!info fet20:09
ubottufet (source: fet): timetable generator. In component universe, is optional. Version 5.11.0-1ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 4963 kB, installed size 22824 kB20:09
bencrisfordwell, I was wrong :P ^20:10
highvoltagebencrisford: so if schooltool doesn't quite have that yet it might be a good idea to contribute there. but it's up to you and I'm not 100% sure how complicated it is to contribute. all up to you of course!20:10
bencrisfordit was just one of the ideas I had rattling about in my head20:10
bencrisfordmost of them turn to nothing :P20:10
highvoltagewell it's noted now fwiw :)20:11
mhall119if there's ever a need for a webapp, and it can be done in Django, I'm all in20:11
bencrisford:)20:11
highvoltagebencrisford: perhaps if fet looks useful you can do a write-up about it and we can include it anyway20:11
bencrisfordhighvoltage: sounds good, i'll look into it20:12
highvoltagerighto! let's move on to community20:12
* bencrisford scribbles "timetable software" on a post-it20:12
bencrisfordnoted :)20:12
highvoltageoppl joined in for the classroom session tonight and showed some interest20:12
mhall119Tomboy FTW20:12
highvoltageoppl: would you like to introduce yourself?20:13
opplsure20:13
opplI'm a computer scientist from Austria working at the University of Linz20:13
opplI'm currently finishing my PhD on how to support cooperative learning processes using tangible tabletop interfaces20:14
mhall119like touchscreen tables?20:14
opplso I broadened my scope a bit and got into educational sciences, cognitive sciences and sociology20:14
opplmhall119: yes, basically ... but using tangible elements on the table20:15
opplto represent and mesh concepts basically20:15
opplfurther work will include to integrate the physically built models back into virtual, distributed learning environments20:16
highvoltageoppl: that sounds quite valueble to a project like edubuntu! do you have any free time available to get involved?20:16
highvoltage(or share information on your studies?)20:16
opplmaybe both20:16
opplas soon as I've finished my PhD :-)20:16
opplthat should be the case latest in june20:17
mhall119oppl: sounds cool and exciting20:17
bencrisfordoppl: :D20:17
opplI'm also thinking about involving my students20:17
highvoltageoppl: heh, one of our previous contributors had to delay his phd quite a bit due to edubuntu contributions!20:17
highvoltageoppl: so finishing your phd first sounds like a good idea :)20:17
opplunfortunately it's already delayed ... there are so many other interesting things20:18
opplbut as i said ... maybe I could provide manpower through student's projects20:18
highvoltageoppl: feedback from students will be great as we expand a bit more into the tertiary zone, which few of us know a lot about20:18
opplthat's what I thought about20:19
highvoltageoppl: well, I hope that you'll hang around with us! and welcome to Edubuntu, officially :)20:19
opplwe are into teaching process modelling and interactive systems modelling20:19
opplwould be interesting to examine, what's available and possible in that are with FOSS20:20
highvoltageoppl: I think we might have to have a session one day where you explain all these things! it sounds quite self-explanetory what it is but it would be nice to know how you actually do that!20:20
opplhighvoltage: thx20:20
opplhighvoltage: sure, I'm at your service :-)20:21
highvoltagelet's move on to the advocacy project, which also more or less ties in with some of what oppl is talking about20:21
highvoltagebencrisford: I told you earlier that my boss (also Ben) is interested in joining20:21
highvoltagehe joined the LP group but he actually wanted to join a mailing list20:22
highvoltageI was wondering whether it would worth while starting a list on LP for that?20:22
bencrisfordhighvoltage: I did think about that...20:22
highvoltageBen sells Edubuntu every day and speaks to many non-technical teachers and educational people who we could get in touch with20:23
bencrisfordok, awesome20:23
bencrisfordI think I might remember accepting him actually20:23
highvoltagehe'd like to round them up so that could have some semi-formal way of communicating with them and also receive some feedback20:23
highvoltagebencrisford: yep, I think he joined it yesterday20:23
bencrisfordI saw he was in the revolution linux lp team so I accepted him20:23
bencrisfordI guess that was him20:23
highvoltagesome of oppl's students may also be interested in that20:24
highvoltageyep, it was20:24
highvoltagebencrisford: I think once we have a bunch of real life people combined with that list and our new site, we could actually do some cool things20:25
bencrisfordyeah :D:D20:25
highvoltagegreat, I'll ping you again tomorrow and also put you in touch with Ben20:26
highvoltagehe's really passionate about this and I think he'll also put some great energy into it20:26
bencrisford:D20:27
highvoltagegreat, so we'll follow up on that tomorrow20:27
bencrisfordsounds good20:27
highvoltageanything else for this meeting?20:28
highvoltagebencrisford: gongtime20:28
highvoltageok bencrisford seems busy :)20:29
