| [00:04] <nubae> so being a member of edubuntu bugsquad means one gets all bug reports from a seed in edubuntu :-) | |
| [00:04] <nubae> straight to one's email box | |
| [00:04] <nubae> love it | |
| [00:05] <LaserJock> well, we have to specify the packages, but yeah | |
| [00:05] <nubae> I suppose its the only way to keep updated | |
| [00:06] <LaserJock> they don't change all that often | |
| [00:06] <LaserJock> so it generally works | |
| [00:58] <nothingman> sorry, had to leave the library | |
| [00:58] <nothingman> now I'm home and on to stay | |
| [00:58] <nothingman> so where's that list of tasks? | |
| [00:59] <LaserJock> nothingman: we're still building it: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/Devel/RoadMap | |
| [00:59] <LaserJock> nothingman: what kinds of things are you interested in? | |
| [01:00] <nubae> but for one, we could do with adding recommended apps in particular areas to the edubuntu wiki | |
| [01:00] <nubae> with a comparison to what one would normally use under windows and what the replacement app is under linux | |
| [01:01] <LaserJock> right | |
| [01:01] <nubae> I think we really need to target price concsious windows users looking for alternatives | |
| [01:02] <nubae> thats why I think wubi is important on the cd too | |
| [01:02] <nothingman> whose site is titled, "Careful with that axe, Eugene!"? | |
| [01:02] <nubae> ? | |
| [01:02] <LaserJock> nothingman: that's sbalneav's | |
| [01:02] <nubae> ah :-) | |
| [01:06] <nothingman> gotcha | |
| [01:08] <nothingman> have any of you heard of the Syracuse, NY company making "Fiddlehead" machines? | |
| [01:08] <nothingman> basically multiseat Linux with a python script to load VirtualBox with any OS inside | |
| [01:10] <LaserJock> I've not heard of that | |
| [01:13] <nothingman> now that I'm home, I got one of the laptops so I could enter the serial number on nexlink's web site | |
| [01:13] <nothingman> "no downloads found" is the only reply I get for typing it in | |
| [01:14] <nothingman> does anyone know who makes the H2Insyde BIOSes? my laptops use it, and some netbooks do | |
| [01:16] <nothingman> the Acer Aspire One, for instance | |
| [01:27] <LaserJock> nothingman: I don't, do you have an Aspire One? | |
| [01:34] <nothingman> no, but I work at RadioShack, and we have one there | |
| [01:34] <nothingman> so I've been studying it like mad | |
| [01:35] <LaserJock> cool | |
| [01:35] <nothingman> oh, never mind | |
| [01:36] <nothingman> the stupid logo has a circle | |
| [01:36] <nothingman> it's also out of order | |
| [01:36] <nothingman> I thought maybe it was h2o insyde | |
| [01:36] <nothingman> it's "insyde h2o" | |
| [01:37] <LaserJock> I've been reading Christopher Dawsons ZDNet Education blog | |
| [01:37] <LaserJock> he just got one | |
| [01:37] <LaserJock> http://education.zdnet.com/?p=2018 | |
| [01:38] <nubae> I tested a couple of them for olpc.at | |
| [01:38] <nubae> runs ubuntu real fast and works wonderfully with sugar | |
| [01:38] <nubae> best netbook on the market right now | |
| [01:39] <LaserJock> nubae: have you tried the Dell Mini 9 as well? | |
| [01:39] <nubae> nope... | |
| [01:55] <nothingman> nice | |
| [02:30] <nothingman> so, I installed Ubuntu LTSP from the Alternative disk | |
| [02:30] <nothingman> onto an older Dell | |
| [02:30] <nothingman> plenty of RAM, Intel graphics | |
| [02:33] <nothingman> it freezes when I log in | |
| [02:33] <nothingman> any thoughts | |
| [02:37] <LaserJock> nothingman: on the client or on the server? | |
| [02:50] <nothingman> on the server, actually | |
| [02:51] <LaserJock> hmm, that doesn't sound good | |
| [02:52] <LaserJock> you might google around a bit for the Dell model and ask #ubuntu | |
| [02:52] <LaserJock> i gotta run though so I'm not much help :( | |
| [02:52] <nothingman> no prob | |
| [02:52] <nothingman> was nice chatting! | |
| [02:53] <nothingman> my email's joshuaalm AT liamg.moc | |
| [02:53] <nothingman> I know the bot's working, so... | |
| === alkisg1 is now known as alkisg | |
| [16:59] <LaserJock> == Edubuntu meeting in 1hr! == | |
| [17:00] <nubae1> :-) | |
| [17:01] <LaserJock> I thought it was going to be in like 4 hours, don't know what I was thinking | |
| [17:04] <sbalneav> LaserJock: Here? Or in #ubuntu-meeting | |
| [17:04] <LaserJock> in #ubuntu-meeting | |
| [17:04] <LaserJock> so it gets logged there | |
| [17:08] * LaserJock frantically trying to finish the strategy doc | |
| [18:02] <LaserJock> everybody ready for the meeting? | |
| [18:03] <nubae1> yup | |
| [18:07] <sbalneav> LaserJock: Ready, willing and able | |
| [18:08] <LaserJock> ok everybody ---> #ubuntu-meeting | |
| [18:11] <LaserJock> RichEd: ping | |
| [18:11] <RichEd> LaserJock: pong | |
| [18:12] <RichEd> and a happy new year etc. | |
| [18:15] <Lns> is this chan like, hanging out in the hallway during class? | |
| [18:27] <sbalneav> Smokers hallway | |
| [18:30] <Lns> heh | |
| [18:47] <Ahmuck> meeting now ? | |
| [18:47] <Ahmuck> here ? | |
| [18:47] <LaserJock> in #ubuntu-meeting | |
| [18:47] <LaserJock> alkisg: ^^ | |
| [18:47] <alkisg> Ah, right, thanks! :) | |
| [19:59] <LaserJock> I'm gonna have to go mostly IRC-silent for a while | |
| [20:00] <LaserJock> I really really gotta get this dissertation done and IRC is a wonderful time sink | |
| [20:01] <LaserJock> I'll be in good email contact though | |
| [20:01] <LaserJock> nubae: this is part of my "get edubuntu-devel jumpstarted" plan ;-) | |
| [21:11] <Ahmuck> sorry, i had to step away | |
| [21:11] <Ahmuck> from the meeting | |
| [21:19] <LaserJock> calimer: you around? | |
| [21:19] <calimer> yep, hi! | |
| [21:20] <LaserJock> calimer: I'm just watching the Sandbox youtube tutorial | |
| [21:20] <LaserJock> very nifty stuff | |
| [21:20] <calimer> ah awesome | |
| [21:20] <calimer> btw we have an edubuntu version just sitting and waiting | |
| [21:20] <LaserJock> a package? | |
| [21:20] <calimer> I really want it in there but the person packaging it is taking a while | |
| [21:21] <calimer> this is a version that meets debian free standards | |
| [21:21] <LaserJock> do you know if the person was able to get a package onto REVU? | |
| [21:21] <calimer> they just have been "busy" I guess, for some time | |
| [21:22] <calimer> I think you gave me a bunch of recommendations previously that I wrote down as far as people that might help package it | |
| [21:22] <calimer> I need to track them down | |
| [21:22] <calimer> I have personally used it to teach in various schools and the kids LOVE it, and this is elementary kids to college | |
| [21:23] <LaserJock> cool yeah, let's target getting that into Universe for Jaunty | |
| [21:23] <calimer> if you check out the sandbox interview there is some work from the kids at the summer camp | |
| [21:23] <Ahmuck> link to video ? | |
| [21:23] <calimer> I don't know what that means but I'm on board! | |
| [21:24] <calimer> here is the tutorial | |
| [21:24] <calimer> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g44Ww2bg2_E | |
| [21:24] <LaserJock> Feature Freeze is Feburary 19th so we need a package a bit before then | |
| [21:24] <calimer> and here is the interview | |
| [21:24] <calimer> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WztnXKda4fI | |
| [21:24] <calimer> if you have any specific e-mail addresses I can hit I will send it out today | |
| [21:25] <calimer> as a note I started working on this for kids that were in my after school program at an elementary school | |
| [21:25] <calimer> so for me the reward really is just getting it to the kids | |
| [21:25] <LaserJock> calimer: basically we need to get the package up for review by the MOTU before the 19th, preferably at least a week before | |
| [21:25] <calimer> well I have the zip just sitting there, it just needs to be packaged | |
| [21:25] <calimer> and maybe 2.3 can get packaged in the non free version? | |
| [21:25] <sbalneav> LaserJock: You pingied me? | |
| [21:26] <LaserJock> sbalneav: yeah, just wanted to catch up | |
| [21:26] <calimer> or repo i mean | |
| [21:26] <sbalneav> I'm at work atm, you gonna be on tonight? | |
| [21:26] <LaserJock> calimer: how non-free is it? can we distribute it freely? | |
| [21:26] <LaserJock> sbalneav: yeah | |
| [21:27] <calimer> 2.3 has some content that doesn't fit the debian free license | |
| [21:27] <calimer> but yeah you can distribute it freely | |
| [21:27] <LaserJock> ok, then I think that should be ok for Multiverse | |
| [21:27] <calimer> I also came across an awesome site recently that has all debian free textures | |
| [21:27] <calimer> so I want to update the debian free version with those textures if I can | |
| [21:28] <LaserJock> I would suggest first doing the free one, then the non-free version should be pretty easy | |
| [21:28] <calimer> openfootage.net I think for anyone else | |
| [21:28] <calimer> is there anyone you know that you think would do it? | |
| [21:28] <calimer> the packages from my end are all set | |
| [21:28] <LaserJock> let me poke #ubuntu-motu a little | |
| [21:28] <calimer> but they need to be converted into the linux packaging deal that I don't know much about | |
| [21:29] <calimer> I should probably update the code database for the free one at some point | |
| [21:29] <calimer> it might take some time though | |
| [21:46] <LaserJock> calimer: do you have a download link for your dfsg-free version? | |
| [21:46] <LaserJock> calimer: is it possible to create the free version from your regular version? | |
| [21:47] <calimer> not a public one but yeah its on my webpage, let me grab the link | |
| [21:47] <calimer> its kinda old codebase wise | |
| [21:48] <calimer> but I don't know how long it would take me to update it | |
| [21:48] <calimer> and this is a lot better than nothing | |
| [21:48] <calimer> and anyone if they really like it they can just get the 2.3 version :D | |
| [21:48] <calimer> http://platinumarts.net/sandboxlite2.1TEST1.zip | |
| [21:50] <LaserJock> now this version pretty much is just missing "content" stuff, right? | |
| [21:51] <calimer> yeah it basically has all the non debian free content removed | |
| [21:51] <calimer> and it is an older codebase | |
| [21:52] <LaserJock> so Sauerbraten and Cube2 source is debian free? | |
| [21:52] <calimer> yeah zlib | |
| [21:53] <calimer> for some reason that version that page seems like it is dated much older than it should be | |
| [21:53] <calimer> er | |
| [21:53] <calimer> that file I mean | |
| [21:53] <calimer> but I'm pretty sure that's where I put the updated version | |
| [21:54] <calimer> I had to update the license to meet all the good ol debian free stuff | |
| [21:54] <calimer> and had some help | |
| [21:55] <LaserJock> there's still some stuff that we might need to take care of | |
| [21:56] <calimer> yeah that's fine I'm willing to do whatever | |
| [21:58] <LaserJock> how do I build this thing? :-) | |
| [21:59] <calimer> there is a makefile | |
| [22:00] <calimer> in src | |
| [22:01] <LaserJock> ok right, I see it | |
| [22:04] <LaserJock> calimer: you might want to email [email protected] | |
| [22:04] <calimer> okay | |
| [22:04] <LaserJock> I'd love to package this up for you but I really just don't have time unfortunately | |
| [22:04] <calimer> how long does it usually take? | |
| [22:04] <LaserJock> that varies tremendously | |
| [22:05] <LaserJock> from real fast to ..... forever :-) | |
| [22:05] <LaserJock> but I'll try to put some pressure on it ;-) | |
| [22:05] <calimer> I just want to get it out to the gremlins :) | |
| [22:05] <LaserJock> yeah | |
| [22:05] <calimer> I get to watch them use it first hand and see how happy they get, both boys and girls | |
| [22:06] <calimer> so it is really rewarding to hear about other kids enjoying it too | |
| [22:06] <calimer> going to put that message to the ubuntu list on the todo | |
| [22:07] <calimer> I think if I can update the codebase that'd be awesome | |
| [22:07] <calimer> even if it has textures that aren't super pretty at least it has all the features | |
| [22:07] <calimer> and people can always add in their own easily | |
| [22:07] <calimer> relatively easily anyway :D | |
| [22:08] <LaserJock> well, getting something in helps | |
| [22:08] <LaserJock> people can try it out, get excited, etc. | |
| [22:08] <calimer> yeah and even just check out the videos | |
| [22:08] <LaserJock> even if it's slightly outdated to start with | |
| [22:09] <LaserJock> it's fairly easy to update things | |
| [22:09] <calimer> yeah people were into much older versions of what was in that code | |
| [22:09] <calimer> especially if we can make it obvious that 2.3 also exists | |
| [22:11] <calimer> my local library is interested too and I want to try to get it in the local museum because it can be used to recreate historical landscapes | |
| [22:11] <calimer> people could take a 3D tour through historical sites | |
