| apachelogger | hi! | 19:16 |
|---|---|---|
| apachelogger | any one with magic access to the website around | 19:16 |
| bencrisford | apachelogger: have you found a bug? | 20:14 |
| apachelogger | well yes | 20:14 |
| bencrisford | because we have a new website rolling out soon | 20:14 |
| === Guest15623 is now known as joerg | ||
| apachelogger | well it is the content | 20:14 |
| apachelogger | not the site itself | 20:14 |
| apachelogger | http://edubuntu.org/Screenshots | 20:15 |
| bencrisford | so outdated info/bugs on the old site arent our highest priority I think.. :/ | 20:15 |
| apachelogger | it is not kde edutainment anymore | 20:15 |
| apachelogger | but just "KDE Education" | 20:15 |
| joerg | hi... | 20:15 |
| joerg | how does the english speaking world call a schedule/plan in a school where you can see if a lesson is not taking place or held by a supply teacher? | 20:16 |
| bencrisford | joerg: a timetable..? | 20:16 |
| bencrisford | not sure if thats what you mean | 20:16 |
| joerg | nope | 20:16 |
| joerg | I mean something that says: class 5a, lesson 1 and 2 on monday (biology) will not take place because the teacher is ill, stay at home ;) | 20:17 |
| bencrisford | apachelogger: im not sure if this will be acted upon due to the new website being worked on at the moment... | 20:17 |
| joerg | or: mr. foobar is on a business trip to the ministry of education, mr. barfoo will held the math lesson in the 3rd and 4th lesson | 20:18 |
| apachelogger | bencrisford: so it could be fixed in the new website :) | 20:18 |
| joerg | in a forum I read the word "cover plan"? | 20:18 |
| joerg | but people weren't sure about it... | 20:18 |
| bencrisford | apachelogger: I imagine it will be.. :) I'm not one of people working on the new website | 20:18 |
| bencrisford | joerg: a cover plan does sound right actually yeah | 20:19 |
| bencrisford | joerg: something like that :), in an administrative context it definately makes sense | 20:19 |
| joerg | ok, thx.... | 20:19 |
| joerg | bencrisford, I am implmenting a portal server for schools | 20:20 |
| joerg | and well, everything is german here of course :) | 20:20 |
| joerg | but I use to develop in english | 20:20 |
| bencrisford | joerg: if you are talking in terms of telling students about absent teachers, then it might not be as appropriate..? i'm not sure :/ sorry | 20:20 |
| bencrisford | joerg: cool! :) | 20:20 |
| joerg | and later let somebody translate to german or do it myself. | 20:20 |
| joerg | bencrisford, well, in my old school it was like this: you came in you went straight to the "cover plan" | 20:21 |
| joerg | in the hope that you can sleep longer next day | 20:21 |
| joerg | because maths in the 1st and 2nd lesson don't take place | 20:21 |
| joerg | or something like this | 20:21 |
| bencrisford | joerg: ok I see, that does make sense | 20:22 |
| joerg | a big blackboard where students and teachers can find out where the regular schedule changed for a particular lesson/day | 20:22 |
| joerg | the guys who make that plan use some windoze software that can generate html tables from it. | 20:23 |
| joerg | and I'm trying to parse the data out. | 20:23 |
| bencrisford | apachelogger: but thank you for letting us know about the error :) | 20:23 |
| joerg | to make them available on the page, as news feed and to provide an automatic email notification | 20:23 |
| bencrisford | joerg: nice :), what are you coding in? | 20:24 |
| joerg | because it sometimes happens that somebody gets ill, the plan changes an evening before and the students don't look on the website... | 20:24 |
| joerg | and then come to school at 8, even though the first lesson doesn't take place | 20:24 |
| joerg | python / django | 20:24 |
| bencrisford | good idea, that sounds pretty cool | 20:27 |
| joerg | I'll provide a demo very soon | 20:29 |
| joerg | it is more like a social network with intranet capabilities. | 20:29 |
| bencrisford | not long ago I started work on a similar project with someone i met through an unrelated FOSS project | 20:30 |
| bencrisford | but I lost contact with him and haven't really tried for a while :P | 20:31 |
| bencrisford | i kind of figure now, that my contributions would be more valuable working on existing projects rather than writing new ones that already have a working counterpart | 20:31 |
| bencrisford | if that makes sense.. | 20:31 |
| joerg | e.g. you can found a group, invite others to join, have friends. share folders and files (read/write) with a group, your friends or everybody at your school. you can design your own profile which is a public discussion board as well, add (google/opensocial) gadgets to your profile or your start page, use it as rss reader, send messages etc. | 20:32 |
| apachelogger | lmfg47sk | 20:32 |
| bencrisford | awesome :) | 20:32 |
| apachelogger | \o/ | 20:32 |
| apachelogger | not my gmail one | 20:32 |
| apachelogger | doh! | 20:32 |
| joerg | bencrisford, we haven't found anything suitable for us... | 20:32 |
| joerg | except a proprietary thing | 20:32 |
| joerg | where I sometimes get inspiration and ideas from :) | 20:33 |
| bencrisford | joerg: im not saying you shouldnt work on this! it sounds very exciting! | 20:33 |
| bencrisford | but my project was very similar to moodle | 20:33 |
| bencrisford | so I decided it wasnt really necessary | 20:33 |
| joerg | hmm, well, I am more trying to integrate all that stuff. | 20:33 |
| joerg | most of them don't want moodle, but if, they can simply integrate it.... | 20:33 |
| joerg | my portal acts as a single sign on provider (CAS) as well....with ldap in the back you can simply add a link to the moodle stuff and load it in an iframe or new window... | 20:34 |
| joerg | same thing hopefully for the library thing... | 20:35 |
| joerg | I am currently watching koha (www.koha.org) which seems to be a very nice ILS and OPAC... | 20:35 |
| joerg | ...but at present it neither supports CAS nor LDAP | 20:36 |
| joerg | and has no german translation which is probably the easiest thing to fix | 20:36 |
| bencrisford | :) | 20:38 |
| highvoltage | good even4ning joerg and bencrisford | 20:39 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: evening :) | 20:39 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: apachelogger found a bug in the website, I wasn't sure what to do.. Are we ignoring bugs now because the new website is coming up soon? | 20:40 |
| joerg | hey highvoltage | 20:40 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: nope, best is probably to file a bug on LP so that we can make sure it gets fixed in the new site as well | 20:41 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: oookay then :) | 20:41 |
| bencrisford | apachelogger: I don't mind filing one for you.? unless you'd like to? | 20:41 |
| bencrisford | :) | 20:42 |
| apachelogger | nah, if you have time, feel free to file one :) | 20:42 |
| * apachelogger is currently at a dev meeting and brainstorming like wild ^^ | 20:42 | |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/edubuntu-website/+bug/571836 - how about I update the description of that bug report to include the information about tonights one? | 20:42 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 571836 in Edubuntu Website "Edubuntu FAQ has horribly outdated information" [Medium,In progress] | 20:43 |
| bencrisford | I have a couple I need to report | 20:43 |
| bencrisford | so that could be like a list of all the outdated information..? | 20:43 |
| bencrisford | actually, thats about the FAQ | 20:43 |
| bencrisford | maybe not then | 20:43 |
| bencrisford | unless I updated the summary | 20:43 |
| bencrisford | If I made it "Edubuntu website has horribly outdated information" | 20:45 |
| bencrisford | kept the FAQ stuff and added the new bugs to the description | 20:45 |
| bencrisford | then as many bugs as possible would be in the same place | 20:46 |
| bencrisford | and thus making it easier for anyone working on the new site | 20:46 |
| bencrisford | ill just file a new one ;) :) | 20:59 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: im making a new one with a long list of bugs which I have just found | 21:11 |
| bencrisford | bug 584717 | 21:18 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 584717 in Edubuntu Website "edubuntu.org contains outdated information" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/584717 | 21:18 |
| * joerg is tired | 22:51 | |
| joerg | vmlintu, hey....are u there? | 22:57 |
| joerg | would anybody be interested in testing my school portal server? ;) | 22:59 |
| joerg | I announced it a couple of months ago....on the edubuntu-devel mailinglist | 22:59 |
| joerg | and well....after almost four months there is finally a little bit to see and to try out... | 23:00 |
| joerg | gonna post it on the mailing list again, but I'd like to give access to the demo to just a few people first.... | 23:01 |
| joerg | to get some feedback, fix bugs, improve things....it is still in a very early phase of development | 23:01 |
