[17:03] <dholbach> according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncilAgenda we catch up with the Edubuntu Council today
[17:03] <dholbach> do we have anybody from the Edubuntu Council here?
[17:04] <dholbach> highvoltage, stgraber: are you around?
[17:04] <highvoltage> hi dholbach
[17:04] <dholbach> no alkisg, sbalneav or mgariepy here
[17:04] <dholbach> hey highvoltage
[17:04] <dholbach> #topic catch-up with the Edubuntu Council
[17:05] <dholbach> how are you doing?
[17:05] <highvoltage> we spoke with pleia2 just a little earlier, the date kind of crept on us so we didn't have anything prepared
[17:05] <dholbach> I think we can just chat, if you don't mind - personally I didn't expect a huge team report :)
[17:05] <highvoltage> dholbach: doing good. the project is doing ok, from a technical perspective 12.04 was a great release for us
[17:05] <dholbach> that's great to hear :)
[17:06] <dholbach> I remember your presentation from UDS - did you get feedback from Edubuntu contributors or possible future contributors? :)
[17:06] <highvoltage> we've been extending the edubuntu community a bit too with active contributors. something that's really hard.
[17:07] <highvoltage> yes, we have 2 people from zentyal doing some work for edubuntu server
[17:07] <dholbach> nice
[17:07] <czajkowski> highvoltage: great stuff!
[17:07] <highvoltage> specifically, they're doing integration between zentyal and schooltool
[17:07] <highvoltage> so 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 there
[17:07] <highvoltage> it will be very nice
[17:07] <dholbach> wow, that sounds like advanced rocket science
[17:08] <highvoltage> we have some collaboration with the kubuntu folks too, on the zatab that we'd like to support: http://zareason.com/shop/zatab.html
[17:08] <pleia2> great
[17:08] <highvoltage> except we're going with unity instead of plasma active. they're at least doing a lot of the heavy lifting for us
[17:09] <highvoltage> we have around a dozen interview lined up for the website to showcase what schools and organisations are doing with edubuntu
[17:09] <highvoltage> currently it's a bit on hold since we're upgrading the website to drupal 7
[17:09] <dholbach> wow, nice - that will hopefully bring in another bunch of new contributors
[17:09] <dholbach> In which areas of Edubuntu do you feel are contributors mostly interested in working on?
[17:09] <highvoltage> so 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)
[17:10] <highvoltage> dholbach: 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 specifically
[17:10] <highvoltage> (but it just happens to be that way)
[17:11] <highvoltage> on that note though, there's some nice school features being worked on by alkis
[17:11] <highvoltage> we have lots of request for things like an imaging solution for classrooms (like fog, clonezilla, etc)
[17:11] <highvoltage> so alkisg is working on getting something like that built right into ltsp.
[17:12] <highvoltage> our long-term aim for 14.04 is having a complete school solution, technology wise. Thin clients, work stations, tablets and servers.
[17:12] <highvoltage> take an Edubuntu DVD and set up your entire infrastructure
[17:12] <highvoltage> on the server side we'll be using LXC to containerize everything
[17:13] <dholbach> sweet :)
[17:13] <highvoltage> one day we'll be able to tackle content and educational specific stuff better
[17:13] <highvoltage> but for now we want to make the entire technology layer really simple and easy to use
[17:13] <dholbach> I 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?
[17:14] <highvoltage> we re-approved ogra_, who just expired before and we didn't notice. besides that, the Edubuntu Council doesn't have much work.
[17:14] <highvoltage> the goals and plans for 14.04 is something I'd like documented and put together in some form of a document
[17:15] <highvoltage> almost like xubuntu did with their strategy document
[17:15] <highvoltage> so the EC will have some work to do soon, at least
[17:15] <dholbach> that sounds good - if there's a coherent vision, that might also attract new people
[17:15] <dholbach> czajkowski, pleia2, beuno, Gwaihir: do you have any more questions?
[17:15] <highvoltage> most of the Edubuntu work actually happens through the edubuntu-dev group. it's pretty much the same people but I like to make the destiction
[17:15] <highvoltage> *destinction
[17:16] <pleia2> no, I'm good
[17:16] <highvoltage> dholbach: we get a *lot* of feedback from the edubuntu contact form on the website
[17:16] <highvoltage> (around 5-10 emails a week)
[17:16] <dholbach> wow, is it contributors? folks interested in using Edubuntu?
[17:17] <highvoltage> we 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 members
[17:17] <dholbach> you could try to invite them to public hangouts
[17:17] <highvoltage> dholbach: 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)
[17:18] <highvoltage> yes! hangouts is definitely something I want to try
[17:18] <dholbach> cool
[17:18] <dholbach> is there anything the CC could do for you?
[17:18]  * beuno is impresses
[17:18] <beuno> *impressed
[17:18]  * dholbach too
[17:18] <highvoltage> I wish I had more time to think about that :)
[17:19]  * highvoltage can't say no to someone offering any kind of help to the Edubuntu project
[17:19] <beuno> highvoltage, door is always open
[17:19] <dholbach> just get back to us if you come up with something :)
[17:19] <beuno> take it as an invitation to email us back!
[17:19] <dholbach> :-)
[17:19] <highvoltage> actually there is one thing, but we need to discuss it internally first. expect some email from us :)
[17:19] <dholbach> excellent
[17:20] <dholbach> if beuno, Gwaihir and czajkowski don't have any more questions, I'd like to thank highvoltage
[17:20] <dholbach> keep up the good work and keep the world informed of new stuff in Edubuntu land
[17:20] <Gwaihir> I'm good
[17:20] <dholbach> are the Edubuntu news on Planet?
[17:20] <highvoltage> thanks!
[17:20] <highvoltage> yep
[17:20] <dholbach> awesome
[17:20]  * dholbach hugs highvoltage
[17:20] <dholbach> thanks again :)
[17:20] <highvoltage> I want to do more regular reports on what's happening
[17:21] <dholbach> great
[17:21] <highvoltage> if it's been too long since a last update, anyone is free to poke me any time about that
[17:21] <highvoltage> (well, at least once the new site is up)
[17:21] <dholbach> :-)
[17:21] <highvoltage> dholbach: *hug*
[17:21] <dholbach> alright, let's move on then :)
[17:21] <dholbach> we have the following item on our agenda: JC Hulce -- Defining support -- TBD
[17:21] <dholbach> is anybody here to discuss it?
[17:22] <pleia2> we might want to drop them an email to see if they are interested in coming to our next meeting
[17:22] <dholbach> yes, that might make sense - do we have contact details?
[17:23] <dholbach> yes, we do
[17:23] <pleia2> yeah

[17:24]  * pleia2 nods
[17:24] <pleia2> thanks dholbach
[17:24] <dholbach> anything else which is currently stuck or needs to be discussed?
[17:25] <Gwaihir> nothing that comes to my mind
[17:25] <beuno> nope
[17:25] <dholbach> ok, then we just need to figure out who wants to do the minutes/wiki dance :)
[17:26] <dholbach> I'd appreciate if somebody else could do it - if I do it, it'll at least take until the next CC meeting
[17:26]  * beuno is jumping off to a pair-programming session
[17:27] <dholbach> ok, shall we do it collaboratively in a pad after the meeting?
[17:27] <Gwaihir> dholbach, sounds better
[17:28] <dholbach> ok, great
[17:28] <dholbach> thanks a lot everyone
[17:28] <pleia2> can someone email the forums council to remind them of the next meeting?
[17:28] <dholbach> ah, good point
[17:29] <Gwaihir> I can do that
[17:29] <pleia2> thanks Gwaihir
