rlameirohey scott-work :D14:17
scott-workhi rlameiro :)14:18
rlameiroscott-work: i was thinking on this yesterday, maybe we should integrate the calendar stuff on the website, maybe on the dev section, or maybe add a option to anyone interest to add his/her email to be warned/paged when meetings are comming14:19
scott-worki tried it briefly yesterday but the code didn't work correctly (well, at all actually)14:22
scott-workbut maybe i did something wrong, why don't you try it also14:22
scott-worki tried it on wiki.ubuntu.com.  maybe it might work on help.ubuntu.com14:22
rlameirohummm i think you would need to bypass the wiki parser thing14:23
rlameiroi dont know if that is allowed on ubuntu's wikis14:23
rlameirothat could do a lot of harm, or be used for malicious purposes14:24
scott-workwhen the website is updated we can always include the google calendar into it14:37
scott-workrlameiro: what do you teach at your university?14:37
scott-workaren't you working on a masters or doctorate also?14:38
rlameirofinishing master on teaching music14:38
rlameiroi am thinking on aplying next year for PhD on music14:39
scott-workdon't you use pure data at school?14:39
rlameiroinvestigating someting related with opensource/libre technologies for the use on music and show arts14:39
scott-workstudying the effects of open source/libre software in the university (benefits to students and university) would be a great meta-research paper :)14:41
scott-workrlameiro: take a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/ReleasePlanning14:41
rlameirowell, if i make, will be on a performance perspective, and how would it be used or if it can be usefull for a musical show performance14:42
scott-worki would like to explore developing some new, additional audiences which would include univeristy audio labs as we have discussed previously14:42
rlameiroalso, maybe develop, my own tools for it14:42
scott-worki'm hoping that you, stochastic and I can research their needs14:42
rlameiroscott-work: yeap, its a long run, but a worthy one14:42
rlameiroscott-work: i am thinking on creating a kind of debate group about this14:44
rlameiroi know ubuntu has edubuntu, but there are big differences on what we want to acomplish, and implement on a university14:44
rlameirothere is a lot of things to address on this point14:44
rlameirotechnically speaking and philosophically14:45
rlameiroscott-work: so, maybe a working group could be made to address this14:46
rlameirothere are a number of persons useing puredata on universities and a lot of them use it on ubuntu/ubuntustudio14:47
rlameirowe could group with software groups to ask what they would expect for a media distro on a college enviroment14:47
rlameiroand maybe we can "develop" a speciffic metapackage that address the speciffical needs14:48
rlameirofor instance, ubuntustudio doesnt come out of the box with super collider/ clam libs etc14:49
rlameirofaust and some other more in depth tools that are used on composition college courses14:49
rlameirogoing away now14:52
rlameirotests time14:52
scott-workrlameiro: technically speaking, i believe if a application (or suite of applications) is in the ubuntu archives then it could be included in a default installation with a few caveats15:07
scott-workone of those caveats might be restricted items, such as mp3 codecs15:07
scott-workbut my larger point is that we, as the Ubuntu Studio team, have latitude to include the applications that we feel serve the needs of our audiences15:08
astraljavaI like the idea of using tasks for that. Not perhaps in the default installation, but that should be discussed. I believe it is anyhow for this cycle?15:08
scott-workwe could use tasksel during the alternate installation to choose these things as well (heh, i think this might be what astraljava just said)15:10
scott-workastraljava: i'm not sure i understand your comment about this cycle?15:11
astraljavaExactly. :)15:11
astraljavascott-work: Well I assume that US is supposed to take a closer look at what it's trying to deliver, and most importantly, to whom.15:11
astraljava...or that's anyway what I understood of the little talk a while back with Troy et al.15:11
scott-worki was hoping that this cycle we could explore who are current audience is, what their needs are, and how are we addressing those needs :)15:12
astraljavaI think that's exactly what I was trying to say, but poorly. :D15:13
* astraljava isn't a native English-speaker, so doesn't always make his point clear.15:13
scott-worktowards the end of this cycle i was hoping that we might start exploring other additional audiences, just identifying them and what we think their charactersitics are and maybe decide which ones to research15:13
scott-workastraljava:  i don't think unclear points are limited to non-native English speakers due to this medium (IRC), there are several native English speakers that i routinely misunderstand ;)15:14
astraljavaHehe. :) I guess you have a point there.15:15
scott-worki'm wondering if we could use tasksel to allow the users to select items not included on the ISO to install as well, i'm thinking specifically of mp3 codecs?  would it download say, ubuntu-restricted-extras and install it?15:18
scott-workthis would be a potential way around "not shipping on the ISO" although a bit dodgy admittedly15:18
astraljavaIf the network gets configured before that, I don't see why not. Something to think about, anyway.15:22
astraljavaOff to a baseball game, see ya later. :)15:22
detrate-scott-work: have you read shuttleworths post about ubuntu light?15:23
scott-worki have detrate- , it seemed to address notebooks quite a bit (and interestingly freedesktop and kubuntu)15:24
scott-workoh, and 7 sec internet15:24
detrate-well for 10.10 it's strongly aimed towards netbooks but they have a desktop version planned15:24
detrate-btw, wordpress 3.0 is set to release this month15:25
detrate-and it makes some moves towards being more of a CMS15:25
scott-worki fear that eventually Shuttleworth, et all, are going to implement something so horribly invasive it's going to change Ubuntu Studio (re: changes in 10.10)15:26
scott-workgood news about wordpress 3.0 (unless it's horribly buggy)15:26
detrate-well, ubuntu netbook remix already starts LOCKING things down15:26
detrate-you cannot edit the main panel15:27
detrate-they call this a 'feature'15:27
detrate-because it's really a cheap workaround to stop conflicts if you change to "desktop mode"15:27
detrate-but I do not like the idea of being locked out of an open-system, feels very OS X like15:27
detrate-also scott-work, I think I've found someone to do the design of the new website15:33
detrate-which frees up more of my time to do the technical parts15:34
rlameiroscott-work: well, the software/tools i talked about are on the ubuntu repos, no restricted things, so it could be "easy" to make a specific metapackge that address that15:37
rlameiroalso we can "advertise" that on the upstream channels of each software/tool and look at the feedback15:38
rlameiroI think we should keep with ubuntu, but we cant forget mainstream, we are to little, and niche distro to only look at ubuntu as a "example"15:39
rlameirowe need to listen users, and needs, and i think we also have an moral obligation in the implementations of techonological things like jack2/lv2/pulseaudio/ etc15:40
rlameiroand making pressing on development circles to port software from OSS to ALSA/pulseaudio15:40
rlameiroor to support natively jack and etc15:41
rlameirothis will never be made by ubuntu, because we have the niche needs that ubuntu vanilla doesnt have15:41
scott-workdetrate-: hey, that's some good news!15:49
scott-workkeep in mind i will certainly be available do make copy, content, etc for the new website as well15:50
scott-workrlameiro:  all that you said sound good :)15:51
* scott-work is going to one of my weekly meetings :(15:52
rexbrondetrate-: To play devils advocate for a moment, the main reason that Shuttleworth is 'locking' things down like that is for the OEMs (which ubuntu Light is only available for irrc)  and the audience it is ment to serve17:09
* scott-work is back from meeting17:19
detrate-rexbron: NBR isn't ubuntu light18:14
scott-workabogani: ping18:18
aboganiscott-work: pong18:18
scott-workwe were discussing -rt kernel earlier and i got distracted, just to make sure i understand (sorry if i'm being dense or obtuse) a 2.6.32 -rt kenerl does *NOT* exist for either i386 or amd64?18:19
aboganiscott-work: rt for 2.6.32 never exist neither for Ubuntu nor for any others.18:21
aboganiscott-work: Don't worry feel free to request as you needs.18:21
detrate-is it safe to use ext4 for /boot these days?18:22
aboganidetrate-: Yes safe for me at least.18:24
aboganilittle doubt: "I suggest to you" or "I suggest you" ?18:24
detrate-:-P I'll be a risk taker, whatever18:25
detrate-I haven't had any problems using it as / or /home for the past few months18:25
aboganijussi: I think than we should evaluate an "exit strategy" for rt kernel into Studio/18:25
scott-workabogani: how is your PPU application proceeding?18:27
aboganidetrate-: The best is place /boot on a different partition with a simple fs like ext2 and use it ro.18:27
aboganiscott-work: My application was the only one rejected.18:29
aboganiscott-work: little doubt: "I suggest to you" or "I suggest you" ?18:29
detrate-yeah, I've been using ext3 for my /boot18:30
detrate-but I figured I'd give ext4 a shot18:30
scott-workabogani: i'm really, really sorry to hear that about your application :(18:31
aboganiscott-work: And I don't found a job yet. :-(18:33
aboganiscott-work: What is the right: "I suggest to you" or "I suggest you" ?18:34
scott-workdepends on context really, it could be "I suggest you jump off a building" or "I suggest that you consult a medical professional"18:35
scott-workyou could also say "I would suggest to you that she is the reason it is wrong"18:36
aboganiscott-work: Ok. Thanks.18:37
scott-workabogani: glad to help.  anytime you need help just let me know18:39
aboganiscott-work: Thanks your kindness.18:39
aboganiscott-work: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-studio-users/2010-May/006243.html18:44
scott-worklol abogani, you responded to the email that reminded me of our conversation18:57
aboganiscott-work: :-)18:57
aboganiscott-work: If you notice (now and in the future) some big errors let me know, please!18:58
scott-workabogani: i thought your email response was quite fitting and well stated18:59
aboganiscott-work: By the way (and last thing) Is there a Lead for UbuntuStudio?19:00
scott-workabogani: I have requested to be lead19:04
aboganiscott-work: Could you give me 15 min?19:04
scott-workcertainly19:04
aboganiscott-work: Ok :-)19:04
scott-workokay19:30
aboganiscott-work: Please go ahead!19:33
scott-workoh, okay :)19:34
scott-workso far several people have given me encourangment and their support19:37
scott-workbut i haven't really made a formal declaration either about my intent19:37
scott-workbut of course since this a logged channel i suppose i have now :P19:37
scott-workquadrispro: when I was working on the zynjacku package i noticed that two binaries were built: zynjacu and lv2rack19:39
scott-workfrom the debian bug report i didn't notice any mention of lv2rack, is it included still?19:40
scott-workabogani: i'm sorry if that seems anticlimatic after possible buildup derived from the delay19:41
quadrisproehy scott-work, I'm leaving right now, however I don't know, i will see later19:43
scott-workquadrispro: okay, no rush, i was just curious19:44
aboganiscott-work: Sorry Scott but I'm not sure to have well understand what are you trying to say me. 19:44
astraljavascott-work: Yeah you can't back down now. :)19:44
scott-worklol astraljava19:46
quadrisproscott-work, lv2rack is powerful jack rack for lv2 plugins 19:46
quadrisproand yep, it's included19:46
scott-workquadrispro: i had built and submitted zynjacku for REVU but persia slayed me with comments :P19:48
scott-workall deserved i'm sure as it was my first reall attempt at packaging19:48
scott-workbut yes, i agree about lv2rack, which why i was so concered ;)19:49
scott-workand thanks for looking so quickly19:49
quadrisproyou're welcome, we still have a lot of work to do19:51
quadrisproscott-work, now I'm working together with Jaromir, that guy demonstrates everyday his great packaging skills19:52
quadrisproscott-work, many packages are arrving through NEW queue :)19:53
quadrisproguys, see you later19:54
aboganiscott-work: :-?20:01
scott-workabogani: is that question in response to my "anticlimatic" statement?20:12
aboganiscott-work: No. Simply I don't understand your statement. And FIY I never heard "anticlimatic" word. :-)20:13
abogani*FYI20:14
aboganiscott-work: Don't worry to be polite with me :-)20:14
rlameirolol20:14
aboganiscott-work: but please be simple to understand for stupid person like me ;)20:14
aboganiscott-work: If you think that your statement is simply too rough for channel you can send it via private message.20:16
scott-workabogani: a climax (can be sexual) but also a dramatic point in a movie involving suspence...it usually builds up to quick, sharp resolution, that resolution is a climax20:23
scott-worki thought perhaps you had left the channel to get a drink and some popcorn waiting for a good story or intrigue and felt like my explanation of the lead situation was rather meager20:24
aboganiNo way I don't understand at all...20:28
* abogani run to read all back logs20:28
aboganiAhhhhhhhhh20:28
* abogani missed _totally_ that: "scott-work: abogani: I have requested to be lead"20:29
aboganiscott-work: Sorry without that sentence there isn't a chance for me to understand all follow statements  :-)20:30
* abogani is stupid20:30
rlameiroabogani: you are to hard with yourself...20:31
* abogani surprised he ever supposed that stochastic became lead and Scott follow him as "right arm".20:32
abogani"Right arm" is comprehensible for you?20:33
aboganirlameiro: Never enough20:33
rlameirohehe, well Right arm is also a portuguese expression, i do get it20:35
aboganirlameiro: :-)20:36
aboganirlameiro: Portuguese du Brasil?20:36
rlameirono, from Portugal20:36
aboganirlameiro: Beautiful 20:37
rlameiroIIRC you are from Milan, aren't you?20:37
aboganirlameiro: No. I'm live in Prato at 17 km near Florence in the middle of Italy.20:37
rlameirohummm Florence :D are you a Fiorentina fan?20:38
aboganirlameiro: No I don't like "calcio" (football soccer) at all :-)20:38
aboganirlameiro: Coimbra?20:38
rlameiroabogani: i am teaching here at Coimbra, but I live in Porto, and i am from Aveiro20:39
rlameirodid you checked my IP?20:39
aboganirlameiro: No I prefer request directly.20:39
rlameiroabogani: i thought you checked my ip GEO, because i am in Coimbra :D20:40
aboganirlameiro: I force myself from use whois or other trace tools.20:40
aboganirlameiro: No simply it is my favorite city in Portugal ;-)20:41
rlameiroabogani: its tempting, isnt it :D20:41
rlameiroyea, really beautifull, but there are others too20:41
aboganirlameiro: For example?20:41
rlameiroEvora, Braga, Some parts of Porto and Lisbon, Aveiro, and some more small cities/places20:42
rlameiroabogani: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89vora20:43
aboganirlameiro: I'm prefer Coimbra over Braga. About Porto and Lisboa beautiful cities but I don't like "metropolis". Evora I missed it.20:45
aboganiscott-work: In any case I'm very happy to know that you'll became new Leader. I regret that probably I don't see the result of you work. Good luck for all! :-)20:46
rlameiroabogani: yea, thats the reason i mentioned parts of it :D, Aveiro its also beatyfull, people call it the portuguese venice20:46
rlameirowell need to go20:46
scott-workabogani:  i was hoping stochastic would transition into the lead position also, and as you say I was expected to support him as much as i could (ala "right arm")20:52
scott-workbut it appeared to no one was assuming the leadership role20:52
scott-works/to/that20:52
scott-workubuntu studio is too important to me so i am happy to fill the position as i best can20:53
scott-workabogani: why do you say you probably will not see the result of the work?20:56
aboganiscott-work: Simply because I sell my things and the next are: ADSL, laptop and car. 21:00
aboganis/sell/'m selling21:01
aboganiscott-work: Accept an suggestion: please be essential. Don't do too much things and don't let yourself overwhelmed by Studio needs.21:06
scott-workabogani: i didn't realize that your situation was that dire!  that is upsetting to hear21:08
aboganiscott-work: Unfortunately life isn't easy without a job. :-)21:09
andyzwebis there anything about the 10.04 ubuntustudio i386 ISO that I should know about before doing a fresh install23:27
