[18:43] <dgroos> alkisg: time to try what you mentioned yesterday, about using the epoptes directly on a fatclient and not via ltsp-remoteapps?
[18:44] <alkisg> Hi dgroos, hm....
[18:47] <alkisg> No - we've done some related changes, but we're not finished yet,
[18:47] <dgroos> I just finished installing epoptes on the other server as well, and thought that it would be good if the 2 teachers at that school only saw their own clients--that was the purpose of this technique (as well as faster performance)?
[18:47] <alkisg> and I'd like to have them finished so that I could do what you want with a couple of lines
[18:47] <alkisg> (now it would need e.g. 10 lines in 3 different files)
[18:48] <alkisg> No, that would be "groupping"
[18:48] <alkisg> If you see the screenshot in the site, it's actually a mockup
[18:48] <dgroos> There isn't a big rush from my end so that's fine.
[18:48] <alkisg> The left pane doesn't exist in epoptes 0.2, it'll be there in 0.4
[18:48] <alkisg> There, you'll see all the autodetected computers
[18:48] <alkisg> Then, you'd right click and create a group called "dgroos_class"
[18:49] <alkisg> You'd drag from the autodetected computers the computers that belong in that class, and that would be saved in your user config file
[18:49] <dgroos> I see.
[18:49] <alkisg> The other teacher would do the same, so you'd be seeing only your class
[18:49] <alkisg> (no more filtering needed)
[18:49] <dgroos> Nice!
[18:50] <alkisg> You'll be able to create as many groups as you want, but "autodetected computers" will always be there
[18:51] <dgroos> How many classrooms are currently using v. .2?
[18:52] <alkisg> No idea, schools here will probably continue with sch-scripts until 12.04 arrives, where sch-scripts there won't have classroom monitoring anymore
[18:52] <alkisg> It'll only be a set of scripts like gnome-controlc-center
[18:53] <alkisg> And they don't care about i18n, and they've already set up their labs, so until then epoptes will mostly be tested by non-greek users
[18:54] <dgroos> sch-scripts will contain the lab set-up and server maintenance functions for Greek schools in your program?
[18:55] <alkisg> Yes
[18:55] <dgroos> When you say 250 schools, is that in your district/region or is it an affiliation of like-minded schools? (could be both of course :))
[18:55] <alkisg> http://goo.gl/maps/nOoQ
[18:56] <alkisg> They are schools that decided to adopt "our" solution of sch-scripts/ubuntu/ltsp
[18:57] <alkisg> Each school can decide by itself what it wants to use, there's no central policy for enforcing specific installations...
[18:57] <alkisg> Only guidelines are given (that's what the team I'm in does, writes guides etc)
[18:58] <alkisg> (less that half of the schools show up on the map, that too is voluntary)
[18:58] <alkisg> *than
[18:58] <dgroos> Focus is on technology--any component team working on related pedagogy?  (and any way to change that map to english labels :))
[18:58] <dgroos> Nice and nice.
[19:00] <alkisg> We have lots of teams that focus on pedagogy, but the technical + pedagogical teams usually don't mix up :)
[19:01]  * alkisg has been in 3-4 pedagogical teams and 1 technical team so far
[19:03] <alkisg> any way to change that map to english labels => no, unfortunately each school just writes its name there, it's not maintained by someone
[19:03] <dgroos> Right, I was referring to the Shulman, technology-pedagogy-content knowledge perspective. http://www.tpck.org/
[19:04] <dgroos> OK, I guess I just need to learn Greek.  Or brush up on my google-translate skills :)
[19:05] <alkisg> Hehe in a 350h seminar I'm doing these months they mentioned tpck a couple of weeks ago
[19:05] <alkisg> dgroos: you're just supposed to glance at some pins there, not read the map :)
[19:09] <dgroos> I know--always diving in :)  Looking for political boundaries on the map and can guess at some names pretty well but...
