=== joerg is now known as Guest15623 [19:16] hi! [19:16] any one with magic access to the website around [20:14] apachelogger: have you found a bug? [20:14] well yes [20:14] because we have a new website rolling out soon === Guest15623 is now known as joerg [20:14] well it is the content [20:14] not the site itself [20:15] http://edubuntu.org/Screenshots [20:15] so outdated info/bugs on the old site arent our highest priority I think.. :/ [20:15] it is not kde edutainment anymore [20:15] but just "KDE Education" [20:15] hi... [20:16] 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] joerg: a timetable..? [20:16] not sure if thats what you mean [20:16] nope [20:17] 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] apachelogger: im not sure if this will be acted upon due to the new website being worked on at the moment... [20:18] 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] bencrisford: so it could be fixed in the new website :) [20:18] in a forum I read the word "cover plan"? [20:18] but people weren't sure about it... [20:18] apachelogger: I imagine it will be.. :) I'm not one of people working on the new website [20:19] joerg: a cover plan does sound right actually yeah [20:19] joerg: something like that :), in an administrative context it definately makes sense [20:19] ok, thx.... [20:20] bencrisford, I am implmenting a portal server for schools [20:20] and well, everything is german here of course :) [20:20] but I use to develop in english [20:20] 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] joerg: cool! :) [20:20] and later let somebody translate to german or do it myself. [20:21] bencrisford, well, in my old school it was like this: you came in you went straight to the "cover plan" [20:21] in the hope that you can sleep longer next day [20:21] because maths in the 1st and 2nd lesson don't take place [20:21] or something like this [20:22] joerg: ok I see, that does make sense [20:22] a big blackboard where students and teachers can find out where the regular schedule changed for a particular lesson/day [20:23] the guys who make that plan use some windoze software that can generate html tables from it. [20:23] and I'm trying to parse the data out. [20:23] apachelogger: but thank you for letting us know about the error :) [20:23] to make them available on the page, as news feed and to provide an automatic email notification [20:24] joerg: nice :), what are you coding in? [20:24] 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] and then come to school at 8, even though the first lesson doesn't take place [20:24] python / django [20:27] good idea, that sounds pretty cool [20:29] I'll provide a demo very soon [20:29] it is more like a social network with intranet capabilities. [20:30] not long ago I started work on a similar project with someone i met through an unrelated FOSS project [20:31] but I lost contact with him and haven't really tried for a while :P [20:31] 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] if that makes sense.. [20:32] 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] lmfg47sk [20:32] awesome :) [20:32] \o/ [20:32] not my gmail one [20:32] doh! [20:32] bencrisford, we haven't found anything suitable for us... [20:32] except a proprietary thing [20:33] where I sometimes get inspiration and ideas from :) [20:33] joerg: im not saying you shouldnt work on this! it sounds very exciting! [20:33] but my project was very similar to moodle [20:33] so I decided it wasnt really necessary [20:33] hmm, well, I am more trying to integrate all that stuff. [20:33] most of them don't want moodle, but if, they can simply integrate it.... [20:34] 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... [20:35] same thing hopefully for the library thing... [20:35] I am currently watching koha (www.koha.org) which seems to be a very nice ILS and OPAC... [20:36] ...but at present it neither supports CAS nor LDAP [20:36] and has no german translation which is probably the easiest thing to fix [20:38] :) [20:39] good even4ning joerg and bencrisford [20:39] highvoltage: evening :) [20:40] 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] hey highvoltage [20:41] 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] highvoltage: oookay then :) [20:41] apachelogger: I don't mind filing one for you.? unless you'd like to? [20:42] :) [20:42] 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] 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? [20:43] Ubuntu bug 571836 in Edubuntu Website "Edubuntu FAQ has horribly outdated information" [Medium,In progress] [20:43] I have a couple I need to report [20:43] so that could be like a list of all the outdated information..? [20:43] actually, thats about the FAQ [20:43] maybe not then [20:43] unless I updated the summary [20:45] If I made it "Edubuntu website has horribly outdated information" [20:45] kept the FAQ stuff and added the new bugs to the description [20:46] then as many bugs as possible would be in the same place [20:46] and thus making it easier for anyone working on the new site [20:59] ill just file a new one ;) :) [21:11] highvoltage: im making a new one with a long list of bugs which I have just found [21:18] bug 584717 [21:18] Launchpad bug 584717 in Edubuntu Website "edubuntu.org contains outdated information" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/584717 [22:51] * joerg is tired [22:57] vmlintu, hey....are u there? [22:59] would anybody be interested in testing my school portal server? ;) [22:59] I announced it a couple of months ago....on the edubuntu-devel mailinglist [23:00] and well....after almost four months there is finally a little bit to see and to try out... [23:01] 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] to get some feedback, fix bugs, improve things....it is still in a very early phase of development
