robbiewcjwatson: heh..yeah, I noticed a funky looking graphic at bootup now16:13
robbiewit's 4 boxes with dots inside each one...a reddish orange color...pretty at least :P16:14
robbiewbut hey...still booting DAMN fast!!!!!16:14
robbiew\o/16:14
cjwatsonfour boxes sounds like a corrupted version of the ubuntu-text splash16:14
cjwatsonI hate graphics16:14
evcjwatson: getting us ready for the ipv4pocalypse?16:14
* mvo also got a charles stross book last week that keeps him up at night, funny to see airsnort mentioned in a book16:14
cjwatsonmostly just trying to get to the point where I know what I'm talking about16:14
evheh16:14
cjwatsonI can ping6 ipv6.google.com, it must work perfectly now :P16:15
robbiewluckily slangasek runs ipv6 in his house...so we know it at least works16:15
robbiewlol16:15
barrycjwatson: how much of your home network infrastructure did you have to rebuild to do that? ;)16:15
robbiewit's not that hard really16:15
cjwatsonbarry: not actually as bad as you might think, though I did have to finally automate DNS zone file generation16:15
cjwatson6to4 is shonky though, can't wait for my ISP to get round to native v616:16
robbiewyeah...I recall setting up a DNS server to handle IPv6...was a PITA16:16
* robbiew remembers his days of testing AIX with ipv6....the HORROR!!!16:16

MootBotNew Topic:  Natty16:16
* cjwatson shudders16:16
robbiewAlpha 2 is this Thus...woot16:17
barryi'll have to start experimenting too tho my isp does not provide ipv6 yet, i just got converted to docsis3 so it's at least *possible* iiuc16:17
robbiewif you have any features or bugs you want mentioned in the release notes...update https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyNarwhal/TechnicalOverview16:17
robbiewor at least let skaet know16:17
barryrobbiew: main should be fully installable with python27 now16:18
mvo!!!16:18
slangasekrobbiew: most of the problems aren't with ipv6 working, but with our systems /thinking/ ipv6 should work when it doesn't :)16:18
robbiewsweet...lol, at first I misread and thought you wrote "unstable"16:18
barry(not just builds, but all depends: python in main should install.  does it work?  well, that's another matter)16:18

mgariepyhello19:03
stgraberhey mgariepy19:03
stgrabermgariepy: is highvoltage around ?19:03
=== Ursinha-lunch is now known as Ursinha
highvoltagehi!19:04
mgariepyhe's coming :)19:04
mgariepy:)19:04
stgrabergood, looks like we've everyone ;)19:04
highvoltageI'm having one of those days where people are telling other people to tell me that they're looking for me on jabber, and other people e-mailing me to tell me that they're looking for me on IRC, and people sending me messages on facebook telling me to read my email19:05
stgraber;)19:05
stgraberyeah, I've been poking you twice through mgariepy :) Don't worry, next week I'll do it in person :)19:05
JFohighvoltage, I hate those days19:05
highvoltagestgraber: heh, yes :)19:06
highvoltageJFo: It doesn't bother me anymore, people who are too impatient19:06
highvoltageoops,19:06
JFo:)19:06
highvoltageJFo: It doesn't bother me anymore, people who are too impatient (not stgraber just for the record) will just get deprioritized19:06
stgraber;)19:07
highvoltageespecially people msging me on facebook telling me to read my email, since I only get those notifications by email anyway19:07
highvoltagebut I digress.19:07
highvoltageEdubuntu time!19:07
JFoI know exactly what you mean highvoltage19:07
JFo:)19:07
highvoltageimages are currently being built for alpha 219:07
highvoltagehopefully the last spins for alpha 219:07
stgraberWe should have 20110202.1 on cdimage in the next 10mins or so19:08
stgraberbased on my guestimate of the build process (looking at the logs)19:08
highvoltagethey'll be listed on http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/ when ready so if anyone wants to help test this will be a good time to do so19:08
stgraberI'll publish them on the tracker as soon as they appear so people will get a mail asking for testing19:08
highvoltagegreat19:08
stgraberother than that, apw is working on my nbd issue and didrocks is fixing gnome-session. So we should have working LTSP for the next alpha ;)19:09
highvoltageI have the first alpha 2 release anouncement draft done on the website, it's not public there but I'm pasting it in a pastebin so long just for some feedback...19:09
stgraberhighvoltage: as we link to it from the wiki page, we may want to publish it but not promote to front page, so it's there but you need to know the URL19:09
highvoltageformatting, etc is lost and it looks horrible but this is what we more or less have: http://paste.ubuntu.com/561557/19:10
highvoltagestgraber: ok19:10
highvoltagestgraber: and it won't syndicate via rss either if it's not on the frontpage right?19:10
stgraberhighvoltage: "shouldn't"19:11
highvoltagehttp://edubuntu.org/2011-02-02/edubuntu-1104-alpha-2-released19:11
highvoltagea new librecad package has been uploaded to revu, I gave it a +1 and tumbleweed will review a bit later so if it's good we should have it in the archives after the freeze is over19:13
stgrabercool19:15
highvoltageI think I mentioned this in the last meeting, but we're replacing qcad with librecad19:15
stgraberI have it on my todolist too but I got quite a lot of stuff before that ;)19:15
highvoltageyeah I know you're way too busy, don't worry about that19:16
highvoltageanything else we need to do for the alpha?19:18
highvoltageseems like we just have to test those images (upgrades are already tested), fine-tune the release notes a bit and we should be good to go?19:18
stgrabersounds good19:22
stgraberapw has a fix for the nbd hang, so that's already fixed :)19:23
stgraberstill have an issue where I can't disconnect from nbd19:23
highvoltageI wish there was a way to make nfs as fast as nbd, if it wasn't for the performance difference we probably would've been better off with nfs.19:26
highvoltageI don't think I have anything further, btw :)19:28
highvoltagemgariepy had a question about menueditor and patches for the qimo-launcher, but I guess mhall119 could answer then when he's around19:29
* mhall119 is around19:30
mhall119listening to jono's livestream19:30
mhall119UDS-P will be back in Orlando19:30
* mhall119 is happy19:30
mgariepymhall119, will you need help testing that edubuntu-menueditor would work with qimo-launcher ?19:31
mhall119mgariepy: all qimo-launcher needs it the ability to point it to a .menu file to edit19:31
mhall119if it can do that, then I'm 99% sure it'll work19:31
mgariepywe will probably need to patch desktop-profiles for this to work19:32
stgrabermhall119: cool, I really like UDS-N, will be great to be back in Orlando !19:32
mhall119edubuntu-menueditor uses desktop-profiles?19:32
mgariepymhall119, yes to apply profiles to group19:32
highvoltageOrlando sounds cool, just a pity it's in the US :) (at least I figured out the whole US visa thing now)19:33
mhall119highvoltage: just pass yourself off as a Canadian and we'll be less afraid of you19:33
mgariepybut i don't think it would be a big problem to add support to qimo-launcher into this code if qimo support XDG_DATA_DIRS and XDG_CONFIG_DIRS correctly,19:34
mhall119mgariepy: it'll probably need your help with it then19:34
mhall119qimo sets those at login, yes19:34
mgariepyok19:34
mhall119Xfce honors them, so it should be good19:34
highvoltagemhall119: heh :)19:34
mgariepymost DE honor them :)19:35
mhall119I'm going to build Qimo 3 alpha 2 basesd on the Xubuntu alpha 2 ISO this weekend19:35
mhall119so I'll know more then19:35
highvoltagewe also still don't have much of a plan for artwork. the artwork team has made some suggestions, but to be frank I'm not excited about any of them (not that I'm the target market, even)19:35
mhall119Qimo isn't likely to have new artwork this cycle either19:36
stgraberEdubuntu DVDs are ready for testing !19:36
mhall119\o/19:36
highvoltagereceiving incremental file list...19:37
highvoltagewe missed some alpha 2 goals, like getting acire, python-snippets and openteacher in the archives. not a big deal though, there's still time before feature freeze19:38
highvoltage"Integrate seeded package list with Software Center for comments and ratings" <- stgraber I think you suggested that, what exactly needs to be done there?19:38
stgraberhighvoltage: wasn't that for the website ?19:38
mhall119I'll submit the qimo 3 packages to revu once I've got them working on my alpha 219:39
mhall119then we can start working on getting something ready for edubuntu/gnome19:39
stgraberhighvoltage: I think it was the idea of getting our package list on the website and show data from mvo's Review and Ratings thing19:39
=== bjf is now known as bjf[afk]
mhall119stgraber: I've got the package list on the wiki, I can look at pulling ratings and comments into that19:40
stgrabermhall119: that could be a good first step19:41
stgrabermhall119: the idea for edubuntu.org was to merge the work you did (get description and stuff based on the seeds), use the Software Center's web service to get reviews&ratings and integrate with WebLive19:41
stgraberso someone could easily browse the educational software list, check the reviews, ratings, screenshots, ... and try it in WebLive if they want to19:42
mhall119stgraber: do you have a link to the software center web service?  I can start looking into it19:42
stgraberbased on a quick grep, http://reviews.staging.ubuntu.com/reviews/api/1.019:43
highvoltagesorry I was distracted by my boss coming to my desk to speak to me and another IRC and jabber conversation :)19:43
mhall119oh django, even better19:44
highvoltagestgraber: I'm not familiar with mvo's Review and Ratings thing, is there a wiki page or something for it?19:44
mhall119I'll look to see if it's in launchpad19:44
highvoltageah, I see19:44
stgrabermhall119: yep, my guess is that it's an xml-rpc service, so as the software list on edubuntu.org will very likely be a drupal module and I already use xml-rpc for WebLive, that'll be simple19:44
mhall119cool19:45
stgraberbasically just need to implement what you did on the wiki (parse the seeds and stuff, grab the package info and put it in the DB) and then grab the rest using xml-rpc (doing some caching so I don't kill the server)19:45
stgraberanything else for the meeting ?19:50
mgariepynot for me.19:50
mhall119nor me19:50
highvoltagenor me19:51
stgraberok, well, thanks everyone, happy testing ! :)19:52
