mhall119o/20:00
highvoltagehello20:01
highvoltageEdubuntu meeting time, who else besides mhall119 is present? :)20:01
dinda0/20:01
highvoltageall I really have to update on is that I uploaded the gartoon-redux icon theme. I talked to the author and he said he'll prioritise any icons that's missing in Edubuntu20:02
highvoltageI'll poke him a big about the folder icons, they're still a bit annoying. if that's fixed it could be quite a good icon theme for young kdis20:03
highvoltageI replaced the old gartoon theme with gartoon-redux in edubuntu too20:03
highvoltageand tested yesterdays daily build, it seems ok, we have the slideshow back although I still need to update it20:03
highvoltagefor the next few days the only ubuntu work I've got planned is reviewing some zope packages for Schooltool, and mhall119's xdg-launcher package20:04
dindaso schooltool is planned to be included in Natty?20:04
mhall119\o/20:04
mhall119highvoltage: how long do I have to push new versions of xdg-launcher?20:05
highvoltagedinda: yep, there's a good chance of it making it in this time20:05
dindanice!20:05
highvoltagemhall119: what do you mean?20:05
mhall119it's on 0.0.2 right now, and pretty rough20:05
mhall119there's still a lot of code work to go into it20:05
highvoltagemhall119: it works right?20:05
mhall119sometimes ;)20:06
* charlie-tca is late, but here too20:06
mhall119it works on ubuntu/gnome, but not Xfce or qimo-session20:06
mhall119because, evidently, they use different xdg menus20:06
mhall119:(20:06
highvoltagemhall119: heh, ok. well I think when it more or less works, then it should get uploaded (sounds like now is a good time already though), and then after that we should just make sure you have upload rights for that package. are you a membed of edubuntu-dev yet?20:06
highvoltagecharlie-tca: :)20:07
mhall119highvoltage: not yet, haven't had a quorum20:07
highvoltagecharlie-tca: we're probably not going with faenza anymore, just because pretty much everyone else is doing it :)20:07
mhall119wait, it edubuntu-dev a member position?20:07
charlie-tcaheh20:07
highvoltagemhall119: that should be fixed quite soon20:08
charlie-tcaXubuntu will go with it20:08
highvoltagemhall119: I suggest just applying for both at the same time20:08
mhall119highvoltage: I'm already an Ubuntu member20:08
highvoltage(brb)20:09
mhall119highvoltage: I'm not on edubuntu-dev20:09
mhall119and it's a restricted team, so you'll have to add me20:09
highvoltagenixternal: are you around perhaps?20:10
dindahighvoltage: what about Moodle 2.0? who I poke to get it packaged?20:10
mhall119I have dynamic-sizing on xdg-launcher now, so it'll shrink in height as it grows in width20:10
stgraberdinda: hmm, not sure, it proved to need a lot of work maintaining it last time someone wanted to package moodle. I certainly won't have any time to look at it at least.20:11
stgrabernow if someone else wants to do the work and can commit on maintaining it, especially for security and bugfixes (which are extremelty frequent last time I checked), we might consider having it in Edubuntu again20:12
dindastgraber: I can ask in the Moodle groups if someone will take the maintainer role20:12
highvoltagestgraber: I poked you on jabber to poke sbalneav, would be nice if we could get ec quorum and sort out mhall119's request20:12
stgraberideally it'd be nice to have something coordinated with Debian. See what they have there, it'd probably reduce the work quite a lot.20:13
dindaI know the Moodle Core contrib coordinator so he may recommend someone20:13
dindathat makes sense, having at the Debian level20:13
mhall119I thought moodle got a new debain maintainer a while back20:13
mhall119I remember getting a bunch of emails on the mailing list20:14
stgraberwe'll also need someone with good understanding of Ubuntu's security and bugfix policy, as last time I checked, moodle wasn't really doing proper security releases20:14
stgraberand instead tend to bundle a lot of unrelated changes20:14
dindaI know Remote Learner uses it on their Ubuntu servers so they might be the ones doing the packaging20:14
stgrabermaking it very painful for packagers to extractthe patches and apply that to older releases20:14
dindaI'll check with them20:14
highvoltagemhall119: I'll send out an email today so that we do it via email. edubuntu-members is free, edubuntu-dev I believe we should vote on, but I'll try to sort that out today. we could then have your launcher as part of the edubuntu package set and you should then have upload rights to it once it's in the archives20:14
mhall119highvoltage: cool, thanks20:15
stgrabermhall119: if they do, then maybe we've got hope of having something that's well enough maintained to actually be shippable on the DVD without the security team and release team poking edubuntu-release regularly for unfixed security issues :)20:15
mhall119can we put the qimo-* packages under edubuntu-dev too?20:15
highvoltagemhall119: just add to your wiki page that you're also applying for edubuntu-dev, if you haven't already20:15
mhall119highvoltage: to my page?20:15
highvoltagemhall119: I can't see why not. it should be fine, right stgraber?20:16
stgrabermhall119: we basically need to have it added to a seed20:16
mhall119ok20:16
highvoltagemhall119: your wiki page, just a sentence saying that you're applying for edubuntu-dev and which packages you're interested in (include the qimo ones and the launcher)20:16
stgrabermhall119: so as soon as we start shipping them on the DVD we can poke colin and have it included to our packageset20:16
highvoltagedinda: ah, you're applying for edubuntu-members too right? it's not completely clear on the meeting agenda page. if so I can add that to the email ass well20:19
highvoltagedinda: you're already an ubuntu member right?20:19
dindahighvoltage: yes already an Ubuntu member20:20
highvoltagedinda: ok, that makes it easy20:20
mhall119highvoltage: updated my wiki page to list packages that I maintain, and also that I'm applying for Edubuntu membership20:21
highvoltagemhall119: add that you're applying for edubuntu-dev (or Edubuntu Developers), that's the important part to add since that's the only one requiring a vote technically20:23
mhall119ok20:23
dindastgraber: is there some place I can go online to see who the current deb packager for Moodle is?20:26
mhall119Original-Maintainer: Moodle Packaging Team <moodle-packaging@catalyst.net.nz>20:26
mhall119might try that email20:26
stgraberdinda: for Debian, the PTS is probably the place to look at. For Ubuntu, I can quite safely say that it's nobody (or auto-synced from Debian) :)20:26
mhall119highvoltage: done20:27
dindamhall119: ok, I know someone who works there so will CC her20:27
stgraberit'd be nice if someone could test the package that's in Debian and if it works correctly, then file a sync request20:27
highvoltageok email sent20:27
mhall119is the version in debian different from the version in ubuntu?20:28
stgrabermhall119: yep20:28
mhall119ok20:28
stgraberpackaging was quite different20:28
stgrabernow Ubuntu is quite a bit behind20:28
stgraber1.9.4 in Ubuntu vs 1.9.9 in Debian20:28
stgraberUbuntu didn't update the major version since jaunty20:28
highvoltageah, so that's still the packaging that canonical paid for?20:29
stgraberhighvoltage: I guess so20:29
stgraberI dropped it from main to universe with lucid20:29
stgraberas we don't ship it anymore and we don't have the requirement for main anyway20:29
highvoltageweb apps that can't be maintained properly shouldn't be in main anyway, imho :)20:29
mhall119charlie-tca: how much do you know about XDG menus?  I may need help getting xdg-launcher to recognize the Xfce configs20:31
=== Ursinha is now known as Ursinha-bbl
charlie-tcaI don't know much about them20:33
charlie-tcaI know the menus got a re-write in Xfce4.820:33
charlie-tcamr_pouit will know more about it than me20:34
mhall119ok, I'll ask in #xubuntu-dev when I know what questions to ask20:35
highvoltageanything else?20:36
stgrabernope20:36
highvoltagemhall119: I'll be around (although I'm a bit distracted with other stuff atm too) and look at that package between today and tomorrow, it has a needs-packaging bug open already, right?20:38
mhall119sure, there's no rush (yet)20:38
charlie-tcamhall119: I am still stumbling on some stuff.20:39
highvoltagewell, let's call it an end to the meeting and move back to #edubuntu20:45
highvoltagethanks for joining!20:45
alkisgThanks :)20:45
highvoltagestgraber pointed out to me that we did it an hour late20:45
charlie-tcaooops?20:45
highvoltageheh, indeed20:45
highvoltageI guess since a lot of us are in a timezome where we have stupid DST, we didn't really notice20:46
