highvoltageHedgeMage: howdy14:19
HedgeMagehighvoltage: Hey, just the man I was hoping to run into14:19
highvoltage:)14:20
highvoltageHedgeMage: could you perhaps make me an admin on the edubuntu identica group?14:20
HedgeMagehighvoltage: Got sick Thurs-Fri...catching up on work stuff, edubuntu.org is on my list immediately after work commitments14:20
highvoltageI'd like to update the logo14:20
HedgeMagesure14:20
highvoltageHedgeMage: same here, I had a cold, went to the doctor, she gave me some medicine, medicine made me feel more sick and I was basically knocked out and slept through most of it14:21
highvoltageHedgeMage: I lost my firefox bookmarks, where is your proto-site again?14:21
mhall119morning14:22
highvoltagehey there mhall11914:24
HedgeMagehighvoltage: edubuntu.frogandowl.org though there are theme updates and such that I haven't migrated to it from my dev env14:24
highvoltagemhall119: how's qimo 2 coming along?14:24
highvoltageHedgeMage: np, I just want to put up the news stories so that when it gets moved over it's not completely out of date14:25
HedgeMagehighvoltage: re: the identi.ca group, the member list is badly in need of spam cleanup.  I don't have time to find you on it.  You can either email me the logo you want on there, or you can figure out what page# you are on in the member list and tell me so I can make you an admin.14:25
mhall119highvoltage: I talked with my brother about the Plymouth theme yesterday, looks like we may just go with a simple one to get 2.0 released, rather than something fancy like we had wanted14:26
highvoltageHedgeMage: ok, I'm @highvoltage on there, but I'm ok with mailing it to you14:26
highvoltagemhall119: well you see it for such a short while anyway :)14:27
HedgeMagehighvoltage: Right, but identi.ca's interface doesn't let me just put in your nick -- I have to find you on the membership list and click "make admin"14:27
highvoltageouch, ok14:27
HedgeMagehighvoltage:yep14:27
mhall119highvoltage: usualy yeah, on my older computers it may be up longer14:27
HedgeMagehighvoltage: I'm happy to add you, it's just a matter of the time to *find* you.14:27
mhall119I'm also still working on ubiquity slides14:28
mhall119I'm going to dedicate one slide per game in our bottom panel14:28
mhall119waiting on some extra Qimo/Illa images to include in that too14:28
highvoltageHedgeMage: np!14:28
highvoltagemhall119: yeah I really want to make the edubuntu slides better for maverick. not that they were bad per se, it's just that after seeing some of kubuntu and xubuntu's slides I want to steal some ideas :)14:30
mhall119yeah, I'll probably do the same in Maverick14:32
highvoltageHedgeMage: should there be content on http://edubuntu.frogandowl.org/ or is that for testing the theme?14:36
HedgeMagehighvoltage: Ahh, I haven't updated it since I re-imported users and content14:41
HedgeMagehighvoltage: I can't do it now since I'm in the middle of work, but I'll update it as soon as I have a break.14:41
highvoltageHedgeMage: ok, I don't want to cause you any stress!14:42
highvoltageHedgeMage: but it would be nice to get it sorted out :)14:42
HedgeMagehighvoltage: np...I feel bad that I'm behind on edubuntu stuff, but work has to come first14:42
highvoltageHedgeMage: if you could send me tarballs of the db and drupal installation then I could do it as well14:43
highvoltageoh it's in bzr right?14:43
HedgeMagehighvoltage: np, as soon as I get a break here.  I'm on the phone with a client and have a backlog of emails14:43
highvoltageHedgeMage: ok, thanks a lot!14:43
HedgeMagehighvoltage: we didn't put the DB in bzr since it had unsalted pw hashes14:43
HedgeMagealso people's email addresses14:43
highvoltageok14:43
HedgeMageHow long will you be up?  I vaguely remember that we're in very different time zones.14:44
highvoltageHedgeMage: it's 3:45pm now, I'll probably be around until 11pm14:45
HedgeMagenoted :)14:47
mhall119highvoltage: what day are the Edubuntu sessions scheduled?14:47
highvoltagemhall119: the ltsp improvements session has been scheduled, there's 3 other sessions that are more edubuntu-specific that we're waiting a time for, stgraber did talk to the scheduling people there this morning and I think we should know when our time slots are before the end of today14:53
mhall119cool14:54
mhall119I can only really attend the last 3 hours each day14:55
mhall119trying to plan my schedule14:55
bencrisfordstgraber: hows UDS going? :)15:23
highvoltagehey bencrisford15:38
highvoltage(pong btw)15:39
bencrisfordhighvoltage: :) hey, are you at UDS?15:39
highvoltageheh, oops :)15:41
bencrisfordhighvoltage: lol, sorry about that, was on webchat.freenode at school and got busted by the sysadmins17:01
bencrisfordhighvoltage: are you at UDS?17:01
mhall119bencrisford: I think he is, yes17:18
mhall119UDS just wrapped up for the day17:18

bencrisfordmhall119: oh course :)17:19

bencrisfordtoday i mean :P17:30
bencrisfordthe meetings are wednesday yes17:31
mhall119yeah, I wish the week were halfway over too17:36
dimes_I don't know if anyone in this chanel is someone who would care about this, but the edubuntu FAQ page is b0rked(http://edubuntu.org/FAQ). I sent an email to webmaster@edubuntu.org, but it apparently is not a valid email....which, probably should be fixed too.18:26
HedgeMagethanks, dimes_ :)18:31
HedgeMagedimes_: We actually have a new site about to roll out in the next few days, so lots of things will be fixed/changed18:32
dimes_Cool18:32
dimes_Now an actual question =) Does Edubuntu built in or as an add on have some kind of basic pr0n site filtering?18:33
dimes_nothing draconian, just something to keep an 8 yearold from stubling on redtube, etc18:33
dimes_?18:33
HedgeMageI'm not sure...I have an extremely low opinion of such software (and my 7yo has been using the internet since he was 3)18:34
HedgeMageSince we don't use it, I don't track it.18:34
dimes_no worries18:35
dimes_Ill just go look for a hosts list18:36
dimes_a friends daughter did a google search for lady gaga and got seriously pr0n bombed18:36
highvoltagemhall119: I assume you've seen the unity screenshots by now?19:06
mhall119yup19:24
isforinsectsHedgeMage: I have a low-ish view of filters as well, but they are something that Edubuntu needs to address proactively if we want to get into schools and libraries in the US.19:33
mhall119Dan's Guardian is a good content scanning filter for Linux19:34
isforinsectseeer, how about proxy based: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/k12/19:34
mhall119that's only DNS blacklisting though, isn't it?19:35
isforinsectsI prefer blacklisting to content filtering.19:35
isforinsectsIMO19:35
mhall119I suppose it would be enough for most schools too19:35
mhall119I should setup an open wifi connection at home, and play with dan's guardian with my neighbors19:36
isforinsectsThere was a study from the University of Washington a few months back saying that 1/3 of people in the US accessed the internet via a Public Library.19:40
isforinsectsall of those computers were required by law to have filtered internet.19:40
isforinsectsThis is completely ignoring k-12 use of filtered internet.19:41
isforinsectsTONS of people in US only access the net through filtered web.  It's a defacto internet censorship regeme.19:41
isforinsectsThe problem is, no one has any broad sense of what is being filtered.19:41
HedgeMageisforinsects: I know that ubuntu does have it available, I just haven't read up on the various types.  Sadly, the school where I volunteered was in Illinois, where the state, not the school, controls filtering (whole can of worms there).19:44
HedgeMageisforinsects: I would never use that sort of software at home, so it's not one of my areas of expertise.19:45
isforinsectsHedgeMage: Sorry, I shouldn't have come across as saying that -you- should be doing something different.  That should have been a questioning tone.20:10
isforinsectsI might be doing some research on web filters in US k-12 and libraries this summer.20:11
HedgeMageisforinsects: np, I just wasn't sure if you got that I'm not against them existing, I just don't currently have any particular interest in them20:11
isforinsectsmhall119: you around?20:14
mhall119for now21:02
isforinsectsmhall119: what do you think about project euler?21:30
isforinsectsre: the python game idea?21:30
