dholbachaccording to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncilAgenda we catch up with the Edubuntu Council today17:03
dholbachdo we have anybody from the Edubuntu Council here?17:03
dholbachhighvoltage, stgraber: are you around?17:04
highvoltagehi dholbach17:04
dholbachno alkisg, sbalneav or mgariepy here17:04
dholbachhey highvoltage17:04
dholbach#topic catch-up with the Edubuntu Council17:04
=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: catch-up with the Edubuntu Council
dholbachhow are you doing?17:05
highvoltagewe spoke with pleia2 just a little earlier, the date kind of crept on us so we didn't have anything prepared17:05
dholbachI think we can just chat, if you don't mind - personally I didn't expect a huge team report :)17:05
highvoltagedholbach: doing good. the project is doing ok, from a technical perspective 12.04 was a great release for us17:05
dholbachthat's great to hear :)17:05
dholbachI remember your presentation from UDS - did you get feedback from Edubuntu contributors or possible future contributors? :)17:06
highvoltagewe've been extending the edubuntu community a bit too with active contributors. something that's really hard.17:06
highvoltageyes, we have 2 people from zentyal doing some work for edubuntu server17:07
dholbachnice17:07
czajkowskihighvoltage: great stuff!17:07
highvoltagespecifically, they're doing integration between zentyal and schooltool17:07
highvoltageso if you create a user in schooltool, they'll be able to log in on a service that authenticates against the samba4 domain set up on there17:07
highvoltageit will be very nice17:07
dholbachwow, that sounds like advanced rocket science17:07
highvoltagewe have some collaboration with the kubuntu folks too, on the zatab that we'd like to support: http://zareason.com/shop/zatab.html17:08
pleia2great17:08
highvoltageexcept we're going with unity instead of plasma active. they're at least doing a lot of the heavy lifting for us17:08
highvoltagewe have around a dozen interview lined up for the website to showcase what schools and organisations are doing with edubuntu17:09
highvoltagecurrently it's a bit on hold since we're upgrading the website to drupal 717:09
dholbachwow, nice - that will hopefully bring in another bunch of new contributors17:09
dholbachIn which areas of Edubuntu do you feel are contributors mostly interested in working on?17:09
highvoltageso the current drupal 6 instance is frozen until version 7 goes live (we were originally hoping for this week, but it will probably be up next week instead)17:09
highvoltagedholbach: it varies greatly from person to person. on average, currently, in edubuntu... I'd say it's LTSP. which doesn't really have anything to do with education specifically17:10
highvoltage(but it just happens to be that way)17:10
highvoltageon that note though, there's some nice school features being worked on by alkis17:11
highvoltagewe have lots of request for things like an imaging solution for classrooms (like fog, clonezilla, etc)17:11
highvoltageso alkisg is working on getting something like that built right into ltsp.17:11
highvoltageour long-term aim for 14.04 is having a complete school solution, technology wise. Thin clients, work stations, tablets and servers.17:12
highvoltagetake an Edubuntu DVD and set up your entire infrastructure17:12
highvoltageon the server side we'll be using LXC to containerize everything17:12
dholbachsweet :)17:13
highvoltageone day we'll be able to tackle content and educational specific stuff better17:13
highvoltagebut for now we want to make the entire technology layer really simple and easy to use17:13
dholbachI remember when we last talked, you mentioned that the Edubuntu Council did not have too much to do governance-wise. Is this still the case? Did you get to approve a few Edubuntu members since last time?17:13
highvoltagewe re-approved ogra_, who just expired before and we didn't notice. besides that, the Edubuntu Council doesn't have much work.17:14
highvoltagethe goals and plans for 14.04 is something I'd like documented and put together in some form of a document17:14
highvoltagealmost like xubuntu did with their strategy document17:15
highvoltageso the EC will have some work to do soon, at least17:15
dholbachthat sounds good - if there's a coherent vision, that might also attract new people17:15
dholbachczajkowski, pleia2, beuno, Gwaihir: do you have any more questions?17:15
highvoltagemost of the Edubuntu work actually happens through the edubuntu-dev group. it's pretty much the same people but I like to make the destiction17:15
highvoltage*destinction17:15
pleia2no, I'm good17:16
highvoltagedholbach: we get a *lot* of feedback from the edubuntu contact form on the website17:16
highvoltage(around 5-10 emails a week)17:16
dholbachwow, is it contributors? folks interested in using Edubuntu?17:16
highvoltagewe want to figure out how to get those people involved. I have a bunch of tags labeled for them in my inbox and I hope that we could get them to do some work too and eventually get them to be edubuntu members17:17
dholbachyou could try to invite them to public hangouts17:17
highvoltagedholbach: it's a big mixed back of people using edubuntu already, educators, people who want to sell edubuntu DVDs in their country, random support questions, people who wrote a howto or blog entry...17:17
dholbach(as mailing lists are not for everybody)17:17
highvoltageyes! hangouts is definitely something I want to try17:18
dholbachcool17:18
dholbachis there anything the CC could do for you?17:18
* beuno is impresses17:18
beuno*impressed17:18
