[00:04] mhall119: you should probably remove README.debian and README.source from that package, since they aren't used [00:05] highvoltage: already did [00:06] dinda: awesome, thanks for the link [00:22] mhall119: ah, I probably had an old revu page open then [00:37] I may not have uploaded it, I can't remember now [00:38] nope, looks like the version up there doesn't have them [02:05] mhall119: uploaded, it's now in NEW [02:06] new? [02:07] what does that mean? [02:07] 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] okay, cool [02:09] not I just gotta make it work [02:09] any maybe add some options/configuration, etc [02:10] I'm zsync-ing the xubuntu and edubuntu isos now so I can test it on them tomorrow [02:13] stgraber told me about some serious python breakage coming soon due to the python 2.7 transition [02:13] so it might be one of the last daily builds we have for the next week or so :) [02:45] hey, has everyone checked this out: www.elderproject.knet.ca ? Anyone know Canadian Edubuntu/Ubuntu groups that would be interested in? [02:49] this guy uses some other distros too - QIMO, Edubuntu, and some other open source stuff for First Nations schools [03:14] MephistoM: dinda shared the link with us [03:14] I'm really pleased to see Qimo being used up there [03:15] * highvoltage looks at eldersproject [03:15] oh thanks guys [03:15] I think it's really neat [03:16] cool, there's even a weblive link on that site :) [03:16] MephistoM: are you involved? [03:17] not really, but I know the guy [03:17] he goes to my university [03:18] MephistoM: make sure he knows we're here if he needs any help [03:19] 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] probably, but canada is a pretty big place, and I think most of their loco members are clustered around the cities [03:20] hmmmm, is there an IRC channel he can go to? [03:20] did you check loco.ubuntu.com? [03:20] http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ca [03:21] #ubuntu-ca is their channel [03:21] cool that's really awesome [03:21] I'll forward it to him [03:22] also http://ubuntu-ca.org/ [03:22] truly awesome [03:22] thank you mhall119 [03:22] what does everyone think of the project [03:22] no problem, and tell him I said keep up the awesome work [03:23] definitely will [03:23] 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] mhall119! very cool, I'm deeply honoured [03:24] your distribution is lovely [03:24] thanks, it's going to be a part of edubuntu in 11.04 [03:24] very awesome [03:24] QIMO is a kid favourite [03:25] Mike (the ELDER developer) says that kids love it up there [03:25] I was wondering, where did he get those netbooks? they looked like they had ubuntu badges on the keyboards [03:25] which video? [03:25] http://meeting.knet.ca/mp19/mod/book/view.php?id=3298&chapterid=1333 [03:26] 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] I believe those are a donation with the Lieutenant gov's office [03:26] no, they are Ojibway [03:26] ok [03:26] it actually speaks nicely to them [03:26] they appreciate the imagery [03:26] I'm glad [03:27] they may be the most northern users of Qimo [03:27] I believe so, when Mike went to Fort Severn he didn't install QIMO....he stuck mainly with ubuntu [03:28] Fort Severn is the most northern part of Ontario he visited [03:28] ask him if he'd mind me posting a couple of his videos on qimo4kids.com [03:29] sure thing, I don't think he does anyway, he's really open with sharing and stuff - true open source guy [03:29] cool [03:29] but I will send him a text [03:29] i'll make sure to link to the project's website too [03:30] sure, I'm sure he'll appreciate that too [03:31] 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] he tries his best to learn about distros and stuff and bring it to the communities [03:33] he's doing some great work, that's for sure [03:33] he says he feels like an idiot sometimes, [03:33] when he began he was like.....what's an iso [03:34] 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] having a good attitude (ie, willing to experiment and learn) is a great start :) [03:40] yeah XD he got a macbook this week, runs parallels to keep testing ubuntu and other stuff [03:40] hilarious guy [03:58] anyhow guys, thanks for all your help [03:58] Mike says thank you as well [03:58] bye [03:58] have a great night === ogra_ac is now known as ogra === ogra is now known as Guest42462 === ogra_ is now known as ogra [13:46] good morning everyone. [15:01] good morning mgariepy [15:06] how you doing highvoltage ? [15:07] did you got out this morning to feel minus 12C ? [15:10] good afternoon [15:16] morning [15:18] morning everyone [15:18] this is mike from ELDER [15:26] I was wondering - the slider function during the installation method, is it as clean as the partitioning method (advanced)? [15:35] mgariepy: hmm, my weather applet says it's -12 here [15:35] mgariepy: I guess it must be lying :) [15:36] MephistoM: hey Mike [15:43] hey highvoltage [15:43] how are you? [15:44] MephistoM: good thanks and you? [16:11] highvoltage: hi [16:13] hey vmlintu [16:14] highvoltage: puavo is now public in github and it's doing magical things for us [16:15] vmlintu: oh, cool! [16:15] http://www.opinsys.fi/en/easy-linux-administration-for-schools-with-puavo [16:16] I'm working on more documentation now [16:16] vmlintu: what does it use for an administration UI, if any? [16:17] highvoltage: we built our own [16:17] highvoltage: it's built just for schools and the whole UI is built so that you can easily manage multiple schools [16:18] and oh, it's web based, if that's what you meant [16:21] we already built ltsp clusters on top of it [16:22] vmlintu: awesome, I'll give it a try! [16:22] I have to warn that the docs probably still have missing pieces [16:22] It relies also heavily on Puppet to do some dirty work [16:24] I try to get a public demo running shortly also [16:35] awesome [16:40] highvoltage: I'm still having hard time to explain everything shortly, but let me know if you help installing it [16:48] highvoltage: there's also more about the organisation model here: http://www.opinsys.fi/en/puavo-organisation-model [22:35] Gonna be on TV for a local access show about linux in education :) [22:35] *local news [23:05] YokoZar: awesome! [23:05] YokoZar: will you be able to youtube it? === ogra_ is now known as ogra [23:34] highvoltage: I can DVR it, it's a whole hour long show though [23:52] YokoZar: where at?
