mhall119dinda: are you going to be at UDS at all?19:21
dindamhall119: it's looking doubtful19:23
dindamhall119: just listening on the plenaries right now19:23
mhall119michelle says :(19:24
mhall119do you have anything prepared for your server in a box session?19:24
dindamhall119: will try to participate remotely - that is a general requirements discussion, to see what services would make sense for that product19:28
mhall119ok19:29
mhall119if you're not there, I'll try to keep it going19:29
dindamhall119: I can't believe neither jonathan or I could be there!  :(19:30
mhall119yeah, it's really a shame19:30
vmlintudinda: we've been working quite a bit on the user management and authentication side of what is listed in the "School Server in a Box" blueprint19:48
dindavmlintu: wonderful19:50
vmlintuThe goal was to have it all public by now, but production setup took longer than expected. The user management side is available here, though: http://github.com/opinsys/puavo-users19:50
dindavmlintu: I was trying to find more info on what OLPC has in their School server stack19:51
vmlintuWe are also LDAP+kerberos setup tools here: http://github.com/opinsys/puavo-tools19:51
vmlintuDevice management will be there too really soon19:51
dinda"LDAP, samba and kerberos"  awesome, all three and some of the most asked for19:52
vmlintudinda: what kind of setup does OLPC have?19:52
dindavmlintu: I didn't really find any specs at all, they list it on their wiki but that's about it19:53
vmlintudinda: Puavo is now in production use and it seems to work nicely in our environments. We have ltsp thin clients and fat clients + laptops + windows machines using the same setup. It's all kerberized too..19:55
vmlintuWe'll be next adding web authentication to the stack next, so after that it should be able to support most of the items listed in the blueprint20:01
vmlintudinda: are you aiming the blueprint to be more of a school management system or a user management system?20:02
dindavmlintu: both at the moment but more of an emphasis on schools. . .it would be ideal to have a $300- $400 device that could ship as a plug-n-play solution for small schools20:04
dindavmlintu: and those with little or no bandwidth20:04
vmlintudinda: the box would be a separate box with no other functions in it?20:05
dindavmlintu: at this stage, I see it as a stand alone box20:06
dindavmlintu: but that's what the blueprint is for to discuss all the possibilities20:06
vmlintudinda: the concept is certainly something I've never thought myself - we are ourselves relying on always-on good connections everywhere20:15
dindavmlintu: :) yes but the reality is that the majority of the world is still very bandwidth poor and schools even moreso20:16
dindavmlintu: you should have heard the flak we got for removing the modem dial-up software in recent releases20:16
vmlintudinda: scary.. I cannot remember last time I saw a modem..20:18
vmlintudinda: Puavo should run fine in a stand-alone box too, just have never tried it like that.20:20
vmlintuI really need to find time to cleanup the code and get the website up for it..20:21
highvoltagehey dinda, long time no talk!20:49
highvoltagedinda: my US visa got approved today, and I should get it tomorrow, I'm still undecided whether it's worth while going over for 2 days20:50
highvoltagedinda: but the LTSP BTS also starts on Friday and mgariepy would drive for 8 hours alone if I didn't leave on Thursday so I decidede to just do that20:50
vmlintuhighvoltage: big plans for BTS?21:09
dindahighvoltage: congrats!  I'm still uncertain - getting very tempted to hop on a plane wednesday night for last 2 days as well21:37
highvoltagevmlintu: nothing earth-shaking :)22:02
dindahighvoltage: who else from Revolution Linux is there?22:07
