[12:49] <Tubai> hello any one there?
[12:49] <Tubai> hiii...?
[12:50] <Tubai> hello guys ne1 there?
[19:40] <th1a> highvoltage: ayt?
[19:40] <highvoltage> tya
[19:40] <th1a> You're working at Revolution Linux, right?
[19:41] <highvoltage> th1a: indeed
[19:41] <th1a> I just remembered that a few years ago we were talking to them about their system for integrating various applications on their servers.
[19:41] <th1a> They had some pluggable thingy.  ;-)
[19:42] <highvoltage> hmm, not sure what it was at the time. might have been webforge. or it might have been the configuration management system we use, bcfg2.
[19:42] <th1a> Well, it was for, say, keeping user databases in sync.
[19:43] <highvoltage> ah probably OAPS
[19:43] <th1a> That rings a bell.
[19:43] <highvoltage> http://www.revolutionlinux.com/Account-provisionning?var_recherche=OAPS
[19:44] <highvoltage> (I know the RL website is sucky, I take no responsibility in that :) )
[19:44] <th1a> lol
[19:44] <th1a> That's what edubuntu needs.
[19:45] <highvoltage> yeah unfortunately the "O" in "Open Accound Provisioning System" is a misnomer :-/
[19:45] <highvoltage> s/Accound/Account/g
[19:45] <th1a> Yes...
[19:46] <highvoltage> the main developer on that is pushing on changing that, so perhaps it might one day.
[19:47] <th1a> Yes, there was some possibility of it happening or we wouldn't have been talking about it at all.
[19:55] <th1a> We're going to have to come up with some kind of strategy -- even if it is just the simplest thing possible for the next release.
[19:56] <highvoltage> in schooltool?
[19:57] <th1a> I mean for integration between pieces in Edubuntu.
[19:58] <highvoltage> yes, indeed. at least most things seem to integrate quite well with AD/ldap, and we're really interested in running a domain on samba4
[19:58] <th1a> Some perl scripts written by the Zentyal guys...
[19:58] <highvoltage> but I know that that's not enough by far
[19:58] <th1a> Maybe we should just focus on LDAP.
[20:03] <th1a> Yeah, that might be the best approach as far as user and group management.
[20:04] <th1a> Just put the message passing architectures out of my mind.
[20:05] <highvoltage> OAPS is so complicated with that that I can't begin to wrap my mind around it.
[20:05] <th1a> Well, yes, that too.
[21:37] <vmlintu> is samba4 usable yet?
