[17:04] highvoltage, stgraber: are you around? [17:04] hi dholbach [17:04] no alkisg, sbalneav or mgariepy here [17:04] hey highvoltage [17:04] #topic catch-up with the Edubuntu Council === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: catch-up with the Edubuntu Council [17:05] how are you doing? [17:05] we spoke with pleia2 just a little earlier, the date kind of crept on us so we didn't have anything prepared [17:05] I think we can just chat, if you don't mind - personally I didn't expect a huge team report :) [17:05] dholbach: doing good. the project is doing ok, from a technical perspective 12.04 was a great release for us [17:05] that's great to hear :) [17:06] I remember your presentation from UDS - did you get feedback from Edubuntu contributors or possible future contributors? :) [17:06] we've been extending the edubuntu community a bit too with active contributors. something that's really hard. [17:07] yes, we have 2 people from zentyal doing some work for edubuntu server [17:07] nice [17:07] highvoltage: great stuff! [17:07] specifically, they're doing integration between zentyal and schooltool [17:07] 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] it will be very nice [17:07] wow, that sounds like advanced rocket science [17:08] 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] great [17:08] 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] we have around a dozen interview lined up for the website to showcase what schools and organisations are doing with edubuntu [17:09] currently it's a bit on hold since we're upgrading the website to drupal 7 [17:09] wow, nice - that will hopefully bring in another bunch of new contributors [17:09] In which areas of Edubuntu do you feel are contributors mostly interested in working on? [17:09] 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] 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] (but it just happens to be that way) [17:11] on that note though, there's some nice school features being worked on by alkis [17:11] we have lots of request for things like an imaging solution for classrooms (like fog, clonezilla, etc) [17:11] so alkisg is working on getting something like that built right into ltsp. [17:12] our long-term aim for 14.04 is having a complete school solution, technology wise. Thin clients, work stations, tablets and servers. [17:12] take an Edubuntu DVD and set up your entire infrastructure [17:12] on the server side we'll be using LXC to containerize everything [17:13] sweet :) [17:13] one day we'll be able to tackle content and educational specific stuff better [17:13] but for now we want to make the entire technology layer really simple and easy to use [17:13] 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] 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] the goals and plans for 14.04 is something I'd like documented and put together in some form of a document [17:15] almost like xubuntu did with their strategy document [17:15] so the EC will have some work to do soon, at least [17:15] that sounds good - if there's a coherent vision, that might also attract new people [17:15] czajkowski, pleia2, beuno, Gwaihir: do you have any more questions? [17:15] 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] *destinction [17:16] no, I'm good [17:16] dholbach: we get a *lot* of feedback from the edubuntu contact form on the website [17:16] (around 5-10 emails a week) [17:16] wow, is it contributors? folks interested in using Edubuntu? [17:17] 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] you could try to invite them to public hangouts [17:17] 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] (as mailing lists are not for everybody) [17:18] yes! hangouts is definitely something I want to try [17:18] cool [17:18] is there anything the CC could do for you? [17:18] * beuno is impresses [17:18] *impressed [17:18] * dholbach too [17:18] 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] highvoltage, door is always open [17:19] just get back to us if you come up with something :) [17:19] take it as an invitation to email us back! [17:19] :-) [17:19] actually there is one thing, but we need to discuss it internally first. expect some email from us :) [17:19] excellent [17:20] if beuno, Gwaihir and czajkowski don't have any more questions, I'd like to thank highvoltage [17:20] keep up the good work and keep the world informed of new stuff in Edubuntu land [17:20] I'm good [17:20] are the Edubuntu news on Planet? [17:20] thanks! [17:20] yep [17:20] awesome [17:20] * dholbach hugs highvoltage [17:20] thanks again :) [17:20] I want to do more regular reports on what's happening [17:21] great [17:21] if it's been too long since a last update, anyone is free to poke me any time about that [17:21] (well, at least once the new site is up) [17:21] :-) [17:21] dholbach: *hug* [17:21] alright, let's move on then :) [17:21] we have the following item on our agenda: JC Hulce -- Defining support -- TBD [17:21] is anybody here to discuss it? [17:22] we might want to drop them an email to see if they are interested in coming to our next meeting [17:22] yes, that might make sense - do we have contact details? [17:23] yes, we do [17:23] yeah [17:23] #action dholbach to mail ~soaringsky about Defining support [17:23] ACTION: dholbach to mail ~soaringsky about Defining support [17:23] #topic Any other business === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Any other business [17:23] Does anybody have any other business? [17:24] in terms of our TODO, I'll take another action [17:24] #action dholbach to talk to sabdfl about the CoC update [17:24] ACTION: dholbach to talk to sabdfl about the CoC update [17:24] (we still have some modifications to squeeze in since UDS) [17:24] * pleia2 nods [17:24] thanks dholbach [17:24] anything else which is currently stuck or needs to be discussed? [17:25] nothing that comes to my mind [17:25] nope [17:25] ok, then we just need to figure out who wants to do the minutes/wiki dance :) [17:26] 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] ok, shall we do it collaboratively in a pad after the meeting? [17:27] dholbach, sounds better [17:28] ok, great [17:28] thanks a lot everyone [17:28] can someone email the forums council to remind them of the next meeting? [17:28] ah, good point [17:29] I can do that [17:29] thanks Gwaihir [17:29] #action Gwaihir to mail Forums Council about next meeting [17:29] ACTION: Gwaihir to mail Forums Council about next meeting [17:29] thanks a bunch [17:29] alrightie - have a great rest of your day [17:29] #endmeeting === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Ubuntu Meeting Grounds | Calendar/Scheduled meetings: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/calendar | Logs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs | Meetingology documentation: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology [17:29] Meeting ended Thu Jun 7 17:29:24 2012 UTC.
