[00:04] <highvoltage> mhall119: you should probably remove README.debian and README.source from that package, since they aren't used
[00:05] <mhall119> highvoltage: already did
[00:06] <mhall119> dinda: awesome, thanks for the link
[00:22] <highvoltage> mhall119: ah, I probably had an old revu page open then
[00:37] <mhall119> I may not have uploaded it, I can't remember now
[00:38] <mhall119> nope, looks like the version up there doesn't have them
[02:05] <highvoltage> mhall119: uploaded, it's now in NEW
[02:06] <mhall119> new?
[02:07] <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
[02:09] <mhall119> okay, cool
[02:09] <mhall119> not I just gotta make it work
[02:09] <mhall119> any maybe add some options/configuration, etc
[02:10] <mhall119> I'm zsync-ing the xubuntu and edubuntu isos now so I can test it on them tomorrow
[02:13] <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 :)
[02:45] <MephistoM> hey, has everyone checked this out: www.elderproject.knet.ca ?  Anyone know Canadian Edubuntu/Ubuntu groups that would be interested in?
[02:49] <MephistoM> this guy uses some other distros too - QIMO, Edubuntu, and some other open source stuff for First Nations schools
[03:14] <mhall119> MephistoM: dinda shared the link with us
[03:14] <mhall119> I'm really pleased to see Qimo being used up there
[03:15]  * highvoltage looks at eldersproject
[03:15] <MephistoM> oh thanks guys
[03:15] <MephistoM> I think it's really neat
[03:16] <highvoltage> cool, there's even a weblive link on that site :)
[03:16] <highvoltage> MephistoM: are you involved?
[03:17] <MephistoM> not really, but I know the guy
[03:17] <MephistoM> he goes to my university
[03:18] <mhall119> MephistoM: make sure he knows we're here if he needs any help
[03:19] <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
[03:20] <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
[03:21] <mhall119> #ubuntu-ca is their channel
[03:21] <MephistoM> cool that's really awesome
[03:21] <MephistoM> I'll forward it to him
[03:22] <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
[03:23] <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
[03:24] <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
[03:25] <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
[03:26] <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
[03:27] <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
[03:28] <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
[03:29] <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
[03:30] <MephistoM> sure, I'm sure he'll appreciate that too
[03:31] <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
[03:32] <MephistoM> he tries his best to learn about distros and stuff and bring it to the communities
[03:33] <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
[03:34] <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
[03:39] <highvoltage> having a good attitude (ie, willing to experiment and learn) is a great start :)
[03:40] <MephistoM> yeah XD he got a macbook this week, runs parallels to keep testing ubuntu and other stuff
[03:40] <MephistoM> hilarious guy
[03:58] <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
[13:46] <mgariepy>  good morning everyone.
[15:01] <highvoltage> good morning mgariepy
[15:06] <mgariepy> how you doing highvoltage ?
[15:07] <mgariepy> did you got out this morning to feel minus 12C ?
[15:10] <vmlintu> good afternoon
[15:16] <mhall119> morning
[15:18] <MephistoM> morning everyone
[15:18] <MephistoM> this is mike from ELDER
[15:26] <MephistoM> I was wondering - the slider function during the installation method, is it as clean as the partitioning method (advanced)?
[15:35] <highvoltage> mgariepy: hmm, my weather applet says it's -12 here
[15:35] <highvoltage> mgariepy: I guess it must be lying :)
[15:36] <highvoltage> MephistoM: hey Mike
[15:43] <MephistoM> hey highvoltage
[15:43] <MephistoM> how are you?
[15:44] <highvoltage> MephistoM: good thanks and you?
[16:11] <vmlintu> highvoltage: hi
[16:13] <highvoltage> hey vmlintu
[16:14] <vmlintu> highvoltage: puavo is now public in github and it's doing magical things for us
[16:15] <highvoltage> vmlintu: oh, cool!
[16:15] <vmlintu> http://www.opinsys.fi/en/easy-linux-administration-for-schools-with-puavo
[16:16] <vmlintu> I'm working on more documentation now
[16:16] <highvoltage> vmlintu: what does it use for an administration UI, if any?
[16:17] <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
[16:18] <vmlintu> and oh, it's web based, if that's what you meant
[16:21] <vmlintu> we already built ltsp clusters on top of it
[16:22] <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
[16:24] <vmlintu> I try to get a public demo running shortly also
[16:35] <highvoltage> awesome
[16:40] <vmlintu> highvoltage: I'm still having hard time to explain everything shortly, but let me know if you help installing it
[16:48] <vmlintu> highvoltage: there's also more about the organisation model here: http://www.opinsys.fi/en/puavo-organisation-model
[22:35] <YokoZar> Gonna be on TV for a local access show about linux in education :)
[22:35] <YokoZar> *local news
[23:05] <highvoltage> YokoZar: awesome!
[23:05] <highvoltage> YokoZar: will you be able to youtube it?
[23:34] <YokoZar> highvoltage: I can DVR it, it's a whole hour long show though
[23:52] <mhall119> YokoZar: where at?
