[18:09] ;-) [18:09] pedro_: Yes, all of us slackers getting our sessions registered at the last minute :) [18:09] bladernr: o/ [18:10] Everybody bring a kilt :) [18:10] er. would a kitty be good? [18:10] hggdh: Not sure if you can wear one the same way... that might be animal cruelty. [18:10] :-) [18:11] [TOPIC] AOB [18:11] New Topic: AOB [18:11] Any other business? [18:12] Doesn't look like it... [18:12] Thanks everyone! See you at UDS! [18:12] #endmeeting [18:12] Meeting finished at 12:12. [18:12] Thanks! [18:12] Thanks fader_ [18:13] quick and painless today [18:54] you're welcome sbeattie [19:26] Boo === RoAk is now known as RoAkSoAx [19:55] hey sbalneav [20:01] QuickQuickMeeting!™ [20:01] o/ [20:01] On the development side it's quick at least, [20:01] look look, I'm actually here for one [20:02] mhall119: yay! :) [20:02] * stgraber waves [20:02] sbalneav has beenfixingfixingbugs and I'll be helping him out witha few packaging questions when we manage to sync up :) [20:02] anyone know what time of day UDS sessions will be starting? [20:02] (oops and the laptop I'm on now has a bad spacebad) [20:02] *spacebar [20:02] 9am UTC+2 [20:02] http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-m/ [20:02] oh no [20:02] :( [20:03] mhall119: yeah not very american-zone friendly :/ [20:03] mhall119: and the end just when I get home :/ [20:03] so that's 3am EDT [20:03] A bad spacebad?! [20:03] sounds.... bad! [20:03] logs it is then [20:03] sbalneav: it is! [20:03] mhall119: for me too :( [20:03] I might make the last couple sessions [20:04] stgraber has also registered our specifications forthesessions at UDS, schedule will only be available from monday morning onwards [20:04] stgraber: if you could manipulate the schedule so that sessions are rather later than earlier, that would be great :) [20:04] highvoltage: I'd imagine everyone will by vying for later sessions [20:05] mhall119: except people from Asia :) [20:05] on behalf of their american remote participants [20:05] true [20:05] but we americans whine more [20:05] mhall119: not that it seems like that will beabig problem for us though [20:05] highvoltage: yeah, I'll try to have them in the afternoons [20:06] not just american participants, anyone who cant get IRC at school/work on UTC, UTC+1 is kind of stuffed [20:06] that's basically it for technical, unless there's anything else? [20:06] yes! [20:06] bencrisford: fire away [20:06] not sure it comes under technical actually.. but ive started now ;P [20:07] the other day I was looking around for some software to do revision timetables for me [20:07] and I couldn't find one for linux [20:07] what are revision timetables? [20:07] like, if you have alot of exams [20:07] scheduling revision [20:08] ok [20:08] hmm, Schooltool is supposed to have quite advanced scheduling capabilities. not that I've tried it yet :) [20:08] is this for students or teachers? [20:08] im thinking of starting work on one :), I was wondering if you guys thought it would be a good idea or if there is anything else [20:08] mhall119: hopefully both [20:08] so teachers/schools could use it for lession scheduling [20:08] I'd look at schooltool first [20:08] and students for revision [20:08] see if it can be extended to do what you need [20:08] ok, I'll do that :) [20:08] I'll be getting involved in: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenLDAP-DIT [20:08] otherwise, go for it [20:08] but I thought it could be a pretty cool thing [20:08] yeah, schooltool is probably most likely to be supported by Canonical too at some point since it's also funded by sabdfl [20:09] and it could know when your exams are, and make sure you revise everything [20:09] bencrisford: schooltool didn't make it into 10.04 because of zope dependencies, which are likely to be fixed for 10.10 [20:09] highvoltage: are the zope issues that it used to have resolved? [20:09] Hi all [20:09] !info fet [20:09] fet (source: fet): timetable generator. In component universe, is optional. Version 5.11.0-1ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 4963 kB, installed size 22824 kB [20:10] well, I was wrong :P ^ [20:10] bencrisford: 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] it was just one of the ideas I had rattling about in my head [20:10] most of them turn to nothing :P [20:11] well it's noted now fwiw :) [20:11] if there's ever a need for a webapp, and it can be done in Django, I'm all in [20:11] :) [20:11] bencrisford: perhaps if fet looks useful you can do a write-up about it and we can include it anyway [20:12] highvoltage: sounds good, i'll look into it [20:12] righto! let's move on to community [20:12] * bencrisford scribbles "timetable software" on a post-it [20:12] noted :) [20:12] oppl joined in for the classroom session tonight and showed some interest [20:12] Tomboy FTW [20:13] oppl: would you like to introduce yourself? [20:13] sure [20:13] I'm a computer scientist from Austria working at the University of Linz [20:14] I'm currently finishing my PhD on how to support cooperative learning processes using tangible tabletop interfaces [20:14] like touchscreen tables? [20:14] so I broadened my scope a bit and got into educational sciences, cognitive sciences and sociology [20:15] mhall119: yes, basically ... but using tangible elements on the table [20:15] to represent and mesh concepts basically [20:16] further work will include to integrate the physically built models back into virtual, distributed learning environments [20:16] oppl: that sounds quite valueble to a project like edubuntu! do you have any free time available to get involved? [20:16] (or share information on your studies?) [20:16] maybe both [20:16] as soon as I've finished my PhD :-) [20:17] that should be the case latest in june [20:17] oppl: sounds cool and exciting [20:17] oppl: :D [20:17] I'm also thinking about involving my students [20:17] oppl: heh, one of our previous contributors had to delay his phd quite a bit due to edubuntu contributions! [20:17] oppl: so finishing your phd first sounds like a good idea :) [20:18] unfortunately it's already delayed ... there are so many other interesting things [20:18] but as i said ... maybe I could provide manpower through student's projects [20:18] oppl: feedback from students will be great as we expand a bit more into the tertiary zone, which few of us know a lot about [20:19] that's what I thought about [20:19] oppl: well, I hope that you'll hang around with us! and welcome to Edubuntu, officially :) [20:19] we are into teaching process modelling and interactive systems modelling [20:20] would be interesting to examine, what's available and possible in that are with FOSS [20:20] oppl: 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] highvoltage: thx [20:21] highvoltage: sure, I'm at your service :-) [20:21] let's move on to the advocacy project, which also more or less ties in with some of what oppl is talking about [20:21] bencrisford: I told you earlier that my boss (also Ben) is interested in joining [20:22] he joined the LP group but he actually wanted to join a mailing list [20:22] I was wondering whether it would worth while starting a list on LP for that? [20:22] highvoltage: I did think about that... [20:23] Ben sells Edubuntu every day and speaks to many non-technical teachers and educational people who we could get in touch with [20:23] ok, awesome [20:23] I think I might remember accepting him actually [20:23] he'd like to round them up so that could have some semi-formal way of communicating with them and also receive some feedback [20:23] bencrisford: yep, I think he joined it yesterday [20:23] I saw he was in the revolution linux lp team so I accepted him [20:23] I guess that was him [20:24] some of oppl's students may also be interested in that [20:24] yep, it was [20:25] bencrisford: 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 things [20:25] yeah :D:D [20:26] great, I'll ping you again tomorrow and also put you in touch with Ben [20:26] he's really passionate about this and I think he'll also put some great energy into it [20:27] :D [20:27] great, so we'll follow up on that tomorrow [20:27] sounds good [20:28] anything else for this meeting? [20:28] bencrisford: gongtime [20:29] ok bencrisford seems busy :) [20:29] *GONG* [20:30] quickquickmeeting™ adjourned, thanks everyone!
