| highvoltage | mhall119: you should probably remove README.debian and README.source from that package, since they aren't used | 00:04 |
|---|---|---|
| mhall119 | highvoltage: already did | 00:05 |
| mhall119 | dinda: awesome, thanks for the link | 00:06 |
| highvoltage | mhall119: ah, I probably had an old revu page open then | 00:22 |
| mhall119 | I may not have uploaded it, I can't remember now | 00:37 |
| mhall119 | nope, looks like the version up there doesn't have them | 00:38 |
| highvoltage | mhall119: uploaded, it's now in NEW | 02:05 |
| mhall119 | new? | 02:06 |
| mhall119 | what does that mean? | 02:07 |
| highvoltage | mhall119: it means that it's uploaded, and an archive admin will check if it's good (which it is) before adding it to the archive. they do it for all new ubuntu packages | 02:07 |
| mhall119 | okay, cool | 02:09 |
| mhall119 | not I just gotta make it work | 02:09 |
| mhall119 | any maybe add some options/configuration, etc | 02:09 |
| mhall119 | I'm zsync-ing the xubuntu and edubuntu isos now so I can test it on them tomorrow | 02:10 |
| highvoltage | stgraber told me about some serious python breakage coming soon due to the python 2.7 transition | 02:13 |
| highvoltage | so it might be one of the last daily builds we have for the next week or so :) | 02:13 |
| MephistoM | hey, has everyone checked this out: www.elderproject.knet.ca ? Anyone know Canadian Edubuntu/Ubuntu groups that would be interested in? | 02:45 |
| MephistoM | this guy uses some other distros too - QIMO, Edubuntu, and some other open source stuff for First Nations schools | 02:49 |
| mhall119 | MephistoM: dinda shared the link with us | 03:14 |
| mhall119 | I'm really pleased to see Qimo being used up there | 03:14 |
| * highvoltage looks at eldersproject | 03:15 | |
| MephistoM | oh thanks guys | 03:15 |
| MephistoM | I think it's really neat | 03:15 |
| highvoltage | cool, there's even a weblive link on that site :) | 03:16 |
| highvoltage | MephistoM: are you involved? | 03:16 |
| MephistoM | not really, but I know the guy | 03:17 |
| MephistoM | he goes to my university | 03:17 |
| mhall119 | MephistoM: make sure he knows we're here if he needs any help | 03:18 |
| MephistoM | yeah, he doesn't have much interent up there, so sometimes he wants to know if there are people in Canada who might be interested in helping | 03:19 |
| mhall119 | probably, but canada is a pretty big place, and I think most of their loco members are clustered around the cities | 03:19 |
| MephistoM | hmmmm, is there an IRC channel he can go to? | 03:20 |
| mhall119 | did you check loco.ubuntu.com? | 03:20 |
| mhall119 | http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ca | 03:20 |
| mhall119 | #ubuntu-ca is their channel | 03:21 |
| MephistoM | cool that's really awesome | 03:21 |
| MephistoM | I'll forward it to him | 03:21 |
| mhall119 | also http://ubuntu-ca.org/ | 03:22 |
| MephistoM | truly awesome | 03:22 |
| MephistoM | thank you mhall119 | 03:22 |
| MephistoM | what does everyone think of the project | 03:22 |
| mhall119 | no problem, and tell him I said keep up the awesome work | 03:22 |
| MephistoM | definitely will | 03:23 |
| mhall119 | I'm really excited about it, Qimo isn't in too many schools in the USA, but it was great watchin the kids in his video interacting with it | 03:23 |
| * mhall119 is the Qimo developer, btw | 03:23 | |
| MephistoM | mhall119! very cool, I'm deeply honoured | 03:24 |
| MephistoM | your distribution is lovely | 03:24 |
| mhall119 | thanks, it's going to be a part of edubuntu in 11.04 | 03:24 |
| MephistoM | very awesome | 03:24 |
| MephistoM | QIMO is a kid favourite | 03:24 |
| MephistoM | Mike (the ELDER developer) says that kids love it up there | 03:25 |
| mhall119 | I was wondering, where did he get those netbooks? they looked like they had ubuntu badges on the keyboards | 03:25 |
| MephistoM | which video? | 03:25 |
| mhall119 | http://meeting.knet.ca/mp19/mod/book/view.php?id=3298&chapterid=1333 | 03:25 |
| mhall119 | now, are these kids Inuit? We've had some people in the past tell us that the name "eskimo" is offensive to some native canadians | 03:26 |
| MephistoM | I believe those are a donation with the Lieutenant gov's office | 03:26 |
| MephistoM | no, they are Ojibway | 03:26 |
| mhall119 | ok | 03:26 |
| MephistoM | it actually speaks nicely to them | 03:26 |
| MephistoM | they appreciate the imagery | 03:26 |
| mhall119 | I'm glad | 03:26 |
| mhall119 | they may be the most northern users of Qimo | 03:27 |
| MephistoM | I believe so, when Mike went to Fort Severn he didn't install QIMO....he stuck mainly with ubuntu | 03:27 |
| MephistoM | Fort Severn is the most northern part of Ontario he visited | 03:28 |
| mhall119 | ask him if he'd mind me posting a couple of his videos on qimo4kids.com | 03:28 |
| MephistoM | sure thing, I don't think he does anyway, he's really open with sharing and stuff - true open source guy | 03:29 |
| mhall119 | cool | 03:29 |
| MephistoM | but I will send him a text | 03:29 |
| mhall119 | i'll make sure to link to the project's website too | 03:29 |
| MephistoM | sure, I'm sure he'll appreciate that too | 03:30 |
| MephistoM | interesting thing - mike doesn't have a computer background, his major is in health sciences. but he really would like to learn more so that he can go back and help | 03:31 |
| MephistoM | he tries his best to learn about distros and stuff and bring it to the communities | 03:32 |
| mhall119 | he's doing some great work, that's for sure | 03:33 |
| MephistoM | he says he feels like an idiot sometimes, | 03:33 |
| MephistoM | when he began he was like.....what's an iso | 03:33 |
| MephistoM | now he's quite good, and he loves experimenting - just he wishes he had the knowledge to write code to adapt it to the needs of the communities | 03:34 |
| highvoltage | having a good attitude (ie, willing to experiment and learn) is a great start :) | 03:39 |
| MephistoM | yeah XD he got a macbook this week, runs parallels to keep testing ubuntu and other stuff | 03:40 |
| MephistoM | hilarious guy | 03:40 |
| MephistoM | anyhow guys, thanks for all your help | 03:58 |
| MephistoM | Mike says thank you as well | 03:58 |
| MephistoM | bye | 03:58 |
| MephistoM | have a great night | 03:58 |

| mgariepy | good morning everyone. | 13:46 |
| highvoltage | good morning mgariepy | 15:01 |
| mgariepy | how you doing highvoltage ? | 15:06 |
| mgariepy | did you got out this morning to feel minus 12C ? | 15:07 |
| vmlintu | good afternoon | 15:10 |
| mhall119 | morning | 15:16 |
| MephistoM | morning everyone | 15:18 |
| MephistoM | this is mike from ELDER | 15:18 |
| MephistoM | I was wondering - the slider function during the installation method, is it as clean as the partitioning method (advanced)? | 15:26 |
| highvoltage | mgariepy: hmm, my weather applet says it's -12 here | 15:35 |
| highvoltage | mgariepy: I guess it must be lying :) | 15:35 |
| highvoltage | MephistoM: hey Mike | 15:36 |
| MephistoM | hey highvoltage | 15:43 |
| MephistoM | how are you? | 15:43 |
| highvoltage | MephistoM: good thanks and you? | 15:44 |
| vmlintu | highvoltage: hi | 16:11 |
| highvoltage | hey vmlintu | 16:13 |
| vmlintu | highvoltage: puavo is now public in github and it's doing magical things for us | 16:14 |
| highvoltage | vmlintu: oh, cool! | 16:15 |
| vmlintu | http://www.opinsys.fi/en/easy-linux-administration-for-schools-with-puavo | 16:15 |
| vmlintu | I'm working on more documentation now | 16:16 |
| highvoltage | vmlintu: what does it use for an administration UI, if any? | 16:16 |
| vmlintu | highvoltage: we built our own | 16:17 |
| vmlintu | highvoltage: it's built just for schools and the whole UI is built so that you can easily manage multiple schools | 16:17 |
| vmlintu | and oh, it's web based, if that's what you meant | 16:18 |
| vmlintu | we already built ltsp clusters on top of it | 16:21 |
| highvoltage | vmlintu: awesome, I'll give it a try! | 16:22 |
| vmlintu | I have to warn that the docs probably still have missing pieces | 16:22 |
| vmlintu | It relies also heavily on Puppet to do some dirty work | 16:22 |
| vmlintu | I try to get a public demo running shortly also | 16:24 |
| highvoltage | awesome | 16:35 |
| vmlintu | highvoltage: I'm still having hard time to explain everything shortly, but let me know if you help installing it | 16:40 |
| vmlintu | highvoltage: there's also more about the organisation model here: http://www.opinsys.fi/en/puavo-organisation-model | 16:48 |
| YokoZar | Gonna be on TV for a local access show about linux in education :) | 22:35 |
| YokoZar | *local news | 22:35 |
| highvoltage | YokoZar: awesome! | 23:05 |
| highvoltage | YokoZar: will you be able to youtube it? | 23:05 |
| === ogra_ is now known as ogra | ||
| YokoZar | highvoltage: I can DVR it, it's a whole hour long show though | 23:34 |
| mhall119 | YokoZar: where at? | 23:52 |
