| mhall119 | so, I think identifying all the games/apps that provide some kind of "lesson plan" concept, and working on some documentation on how to use those for teaching, would be a good idea | 19:03 |
| mhall119 | also, I definitely want to see Laby included in the ubuntu-edu-* packages | 19:04 |
| sebsebseb | HI | 19:07 |
| mhall119 | hi | 19:07 |
| mhall119 | highvoltage: what's the state of moodle? | 19:08 |
| sebsebseb | mhall119: hi | 19:08 |
| mhall119 | is that something that can be included in the default install? | 19:08 |
| highvoltage | mhall119: debian has made great progress in the last ubuntu release cycle, but unfortunately it wasn't ready in time for maverick | 19:08 |
| highvoltage | mhall119: we'll most likely have it soon in natty after the archives open | 19:08 |
| mhall119 | cool | 19:09 |
| highvoltage | mhall119: and quite possibly a backport and at the very least also have it in the Edubuntu stable PPA | 19:09 |
| mhall119 | also, there were a couple of public sites collecting moodle courses, depending on licenses maybe we could package some of them up for inclusion or installation | 19:09 |
| highvoltage | mhall119: as for having it in the default install, it would be nice in an edubuntu-server metapackage, we're having a session for that at UDS | 19:09 |
| mhall119 | is that the "school server in a box" blueprint that dinda made? | 19:10 |
| sebsebseb | highvoltage: In South Africa.... in South Africa.... in South Africa, for the open week session you just did :D ,but made me wonder where you were actsually from | 19:10 |
| sebsebseb | highvoltage: taking a guess | 19:10 |
| sebsebseb | Germany or something | 19:10 |
| sebsebseb | plus you used the euro sign | 19:10 |
| mhall119 | he's Canadian now, eh? | 19:12 |
| highvoltage | mhall119: yes | 19:12 |
| mhall119 | highvoltage: cool, I'm already subscribed to that one | 19:12 |
| highvoltage | sebsebseb: I'm from South Africa :) | 19:12 |
| highvoltage | living in Canada at the moment, but I'm not a Canadian :) | 19:12 |
| sebsebseb | oh ok | 19:13 |
| highvoltage | (or as stgraber pointed out, I'm in Quebec, which is a differents story alltogether) | 19:13 |
| stgraber | ;) | 19:13 |
| highvoltage | maybe I'll live in Germany next though :) | 19:13 |
| mhall119 | oh, so you're French then? | 19:13 |
| highvoltage | mhall119: oui! | 19:13 |
| mhall119 | eh? | 19:13 |
| sebsebseb | mhall119: the real French are from France :D | 19:14 |
| highvoltage | mhall119: no :) | 19:14 |
| stgraber | he's pretending to be | 19:14 |
| mhall119 | Faux French? | 19:14 |
| highvoltage | mhall119: yes, but don't tell the Quebeccers that ;) | 19:14 |
| mhall119 | is that like being Dutch? | 19:14 |
| stgraber | highvoltage: too late, mgariepy is here ;) | 19:14 |
| sebsebseb | and ubuntulog :D | 19:15 |
| highvoltage | mhall119: well, my first langauge is Afrikaans, which is much closer to Dutch :) | 19:15 |
| sebsebseb | who mgariepy ? | 19:15 |
| mhall119 | so you're French-Canadian-Dutch-African? | 19:16 |
| highvoltage | sure why not. | 19:16 |
| stgraber | sebsebseb: mgariepy is an actual quebeccer | 19:17 |
| mgariepy | french-canadian-wannabe-Dutch-african imo | 19:17 |
| mgariepy | i'm a french canadian. | 19:17 |
| stgraber | (and currently sitting just next to highvoltage and I) | 19:17 |
| highvoltage | :) | 19:17 |
| mhall119 | is that (french-canadian-wannabe)-dutch-african, or french-canadian-(wannabe-dutch-african)? | 19:17 |
| * mhall119 is so confused | 19:18 | |
| mgariepy | it's (french-canadian-wannabe)-dutch-african, since he doesn't speak french yet. | 19:18 |
| highvoltage | French logic is kind of weirds like that | 19:18 |
| highvoltage | they write things backwards | 19:18 |
| stgraber | (wannabe-french-canadian)-south-african (or -afrikaans) | 19:18 |
| mhall119 | I'm just going to think of you as Asian and be done with it | 19:18 |
| highvoltage | it's not a web site. it's a site web | 19:18 |
| highvoltage | they do it with everything. | 19:19 |
| highvoltage | and don't get me and stgraber started with taps and doorhandles | 19:19 |
| stgraber | (though, the taps and doorhandles issue seems to be quebec-specific, not french related) | 19:20 |
| mhall119 | highvoltage: you want fun, get a Brit and someone from the southern USA to talk about biscuits | 19:20 |
| mhall119 | or tea for that matter | 19:20 |
| sebsebseb | mhall119: uh what? | 19:21 |
| mhall119 | british biscuits and USA biscuits are totally different things | 19:21 |
| sebsebseb | uhmm USA calls them cookies | 19:22 |
| highvoltage | american biscuits is more like rusks, right? | 19:22 |
| sebsebseb | here now as well sometimes | 19:22 |
| mhall119 | no, cookies are sweet pasteries | 19:22 |
| mhall119 | with chocolate chips in them | 19:22 |
| mhall119 | you eat them with a glass of milk | 19:22 |
| sebsebseb | well there are both ehre, biscuites and cookies :D | 19:23 |
| mhall119 | we have both here too | 19:23 |
| * highvoltage attempts to get back to work and salvage some productivity from this afternoon | 19:23 | |
| sebsebseb | whats that about tea? | 19:23 |
| mhall119 | only what you call biscuites we call crackers | 19:23 |
| mhall119 | sebsebseb: tea should be served in a large glass with lots of ice, and milk is in no way involved | 19:24 |
| sebsebseb | tea with ice? | 19:24 |
| mhall119 | yes | 19:24 |
| mhall119 | sometimes sugar | 19:24 |
| sebsebseb | tea is meant to be hot | 19:24 |
| mhall119 | sometimes not | 19:24 |
| sebsebseb | and it can have milk or sugar in it | 19:24 |
| sebsebseb | I mean can have no milk at all, or milk, and sugar can be in it | 19:24 |
| mhall119 | hot tea is only consumed when you're sick | 19:24 |
| sebsebseb | theres also iced tea which is something else | 19:24 |
| mhall119 | and I mean really sick, not just feeling a bit sniffly | 19:25 |
| sebsebseb | tea and cofee :) | 19:25 |
| sebsebseb | tea or coffee | 19:25 |
| sebsebseb | and loads of differnet types of tea there are as well | 19:25 |
| mhall119 | we have iced coffee too, but that's really a yuppie thing | 19:25 |
| sebsebseb | yuppie thing? | 19:25 |
| mhall119 | for starbucks customers | 19:25 |
| mhall119 | people who drink over-priced coffee because it's trendy | 19:26 |
| sebsebseb | oh | 19:26 |
| mhall119 | come to UDS, I'll expose you to all of our culinary faults | 19:27 |
| sebsebseb | well whilst we are on about differences, Americans are wrong, British Engish is the correct one :D | 19:27 |
| sebsebseb | mhall119: no I won't be going to UDS | 19:27 |
| sebsebseb | Florida is all the way over there | 19:28 |
| sebsebseb | and going some where else that week anyway | 19:28 |
| mhall119 | too bad, I'd have bought you a pickled pig's foot | 19:28 |
| mhall119 | if I'd have, I'd even treat you to some homemade BBQ | 19:28 |
| sebsebseb | plus 1. not a develoepr 2. don't like Ubuntu that much anymore. so yeah UDS isn't really for me | 19:28 |
| sebsebseb | and yes I know non devs can go as well | 19:29 |
| mhall119 | non-Ubuntu people can go too | 19:29 |
| highvoltage | 14:24 < mhall119> hot tea is only consumed when you're sick | 19:29 |
| highvoltage | lol | 19:29 |
| mhall119 | highvoltage: that's really a matter of taste though, lots of people here still stick with coffee when they're sick | 19:29 |
| sebsebseb | mhall119: well Ubuntu for a bit again for me, but only since I am trying out Unity on my desktop | 19:29 |
| mhall119 | I wish Unity ran better on my EeePC 701 | 19:30 |
| mhall119 | highvoltage: any plans or thoughts on making an Edubuntu Netbook interface for 11.04? | 19:31 |
| sebsebseb | it would be great if it didn't crash when opening applications, well I guess the clean install maybe help, since I also installed netbook packages/s when I shoudn't have realy, so that could be to do with it | 19:31 |
| sebsebseb | plus started with the RC last Saturday and got all the updates, so yeah, not done it again with final | 19:31 |
| sebsebseb | just yet | 19:31 |
| mhall119 | something that'll work well on the Intel ClassMates | 19:31 |
| sebsebseb | mhall119: or Edubuntu could use Gnome Shell :) | 19:31 |
| mhall119 | I'm not sure how all the Gnome-dependent stuff like Sabayon will work with Shell | 19:32 |
| sebsebseb | remind me what Sabayon is, other then that Gentoo based distro | 19:32 |
| mhall119 | desktop profile editor | 19:32 |
| sebsebseb | I remember this was mentioend in open week before, I guess Edubuntu session | 19:32 |
| mhall119 | lets you customize the desktop for different users | 19:33 |
| mhall119 | menus, panels, etc | 19:33 |
| sebsebseb | the forks/patches will be interesting to see Ubuntu develoeprs working to move over to Gnome Shell :D | 19:33 |
| sebsebseb | however I am expecting their may be some excuse, to use the old interface with Gnome 3 under the hood | 19:33 |
| mhall119 | sebsebseb: yeah, that doesn't sound like a pleasant job | 19:33 |
| sebsebseb | and using the old interface won't be good, when basically all the other popular distros are doing shell | 19:34 |
| sebsebseb | mhall119: probably won't have Internet access when I am away, well I might, but if not, i'll find out about UDS stuff when getting back ,one of the first things :D | 19:35 |
| sebsebseb | mhall119: 2011 should be a rather interesting year for Desktop LInux :) | 19:36 |
| sebsebseb | since Gnome 3 | 19:36 |
| sebsebseb | and also btrfs I guess | 19:36 |
| mhall119 | I'm not sure what's going to happen with btrfs, ext4 has gone beyond the stop-gap measure it was originally supposed to be | 19:37 |
| sebsebseb | stop-gap measure? | 19:37 |
| sebsebseb | yeah Ext4 was only meant to be for a bit | 19:38 |
| sebsebseb | anyway Ext4 is pretty good really | 19:38 |
| sebsebseb | so I was going to try out btrfs in this 10.10 install, thinking I probably woudn't really get any advantage, since not even sure how to use the snapshots. However since how my partitions are, I coudn't just make a /boot and the / in the space I had, so went with Ext4, not worth sorting out my partitions, more properly, at this time, for btfs I guess, since probably woudn't really notice any advantage. Plus in Ubuntu it woudn't be | 19:41 |
| sebsebseb | properly stable anyway I guess and all that. | 19:41 |
| highvoltage | mhall119: we ship with unity, it's quite horrible atm though | 19:42 |
