10:06 JaneW oic ok 10:06 JaneW yes I recall that is was pretty sudden and unannounced 10:06 highvoltage quite 10:06 ogra its way too short time to get the CDs in shape, since a package from upload to archive currently takes ~4h === cbx33 too 10:06 JaneW do you think we needed it though? 10:07 JaneW edubuntu has been fairly static for a while now 10:07 ogra nope, it has changed a lot the last days 10:07 JaneW ok, so 8 should be good? 10:07 cbx33 i tested a daily a few days ago 10:07 cbx33 seemed fine 10:07 ogra i.e. the gcompris guys provided a patch that actually shrinks the package by 5M 10:07 JaneW how many more flight will there be do you think? 3 week to release now... 10:07 cbx33 ah excellent 10:07 ogra 8 should be great ! 10:07 highvoltage wow! that's great of them 10:07 JaneW ogra: cool 10:08 ogra i think that'll be the last flight before RC 10:08 cbx33 w00t 10:08 highvoltage hopefully gcompris will be more stable and less memory consuming too 10:08 JaneW ogra: can we implement that patch? 10:08 ogra but i'm not the release manager ;) 10:08 ogra JaneW, already done 10:08 cbx33 JaneW, I think it's already done isn;t it ogra ? 10:08 JaneW ok, good 10:08 highvoltage gcompris in our tuxlabs often gets the load average to 80 on the server 10:08 ogra we need to drop *something* from amd64 10:08 ogra (3.5M oversized) 10:08 JaneW ogra: so you are happy to put you name in shining lights on Edubuntu 6.06?

10:18 ogra yep 10:19 JaneW ogra: but we saw examples, and you designed at least one... 10:19 ogra mdz, yep, thats why i answered we could take the old one 10:19 ogra JaneW, me ? 10:19 ogra not the usplash, no 10:19 JaneW ogra: well you showed me a few, in any event 10:19 ogra i mean, i designed the current one, yes 10:20 ogra JaneW, are you sure you are talking about usplash ?

=== Riddell disagrees with highvoltage there 10:21 highvoltage Riddell: you would :) 10:21 ogra highvoltage, not anymore ... in fact it looks quite cold and uncomfortable ... 10:21 JaneW erk, let's not have a derivative war! 10:21 JaneW we are all shiny 10:21 ogra i'm trying what i can to compensate that but i only have the window borders and the menu highlight color 10:21 JaneW (but some are shinier than others) 10:21 highvoltage ogra: ok, the shiny red theme not default theme anymore? 10:21 cbx33 we are all ubuntu after all 10:21 ogra highvoltage, i think we'll keep that 10:22 ogra it works with the chalkboard 10:22 JaneW ogra: do you need further artwork help? 10:22 ogra JaneW, nope 10:22 JaneW ogra: and can Lisa do designs for the U & gnome splashes etc? 10:22 ogra apart from the final homies pic if lisa wants to d more on it === HedgeMage is finishing the cookbook stuff she signed up for as we speak 10:22 HedgeMage Anything useful I can do once that's finished? === ogra applauds HedgeMage 10:23 JaneW HedgeMage: great we'll discuss that next 10:23 ogra :) 10:23 sladen a black and white chalkboard for the edubuntu usplash would work very well 10:23 JaneW ogra: so are you happy you have artwork under control? 10:23 cbx33 ogra, what's the deadline for the homies stuff 10:23 ogra sladen, please not more chalkboards 10:23 highvoltage cbx33: you said you had a jw homie, could you upload that too? 10:23 cbx33 will do, :D 10:23 JaneW sladen: we are not terribly fond of chalkboards anymore :) 10:23 ogra JaneW, for some kind of minimal value of control, yes 10:23 ogra (very minimal) 10:24 cbx33 ogra, cease this mumbo jumbo :p 10:24 ogra i have the artwork and we can go with the old usplash 10:24 JaneW ogra: LOL (understood) 10:24 cbx33 minimal values blah...make sme think I'm back at uni 10:24 LaserJock cbx33: the Edubuntu uni ;-) 10:24 cbx33 :p 10:24 JaneW ogra: surprise us 10:24 ogra all i have to do is packaging it and make sure we have the space on the CD 10:24 highvoltage ogra: just not naked people again please 10:24 JaneW ok artwork - discussed, TBC soon 10:25 JaneW ok documentation 10:25 JaneW let's talk about TDC 10:25 JaneW The Dreaded Cookbook 10:25 cbx33 heh 10:25 JaneW where are we with that? 10:25 ogra i was approached at linuxtag by some guys who want to make a german translated printed edition of it :) 10:25 HedgeMage ogra told me it was due on the 10th, so naturally I'm doing it at the last possible moment. 10:25 HedgeMage But, it'll be done in a couple of hours :) 10:26 JaneW spacey and pygi took ownership... 10:26 ogra HedgeMage, i told you ? 10:26 HedgeMage where it = my parts 10:26 highvoltage ugh. it's the 10th today 10:26 HedgeMage ogra: I think it was you 10:26 JaneW ogra: awesome, ... now we just need to finish it 10:26 highvoltage HedgeMage: you mean pygi 10:26 highvoltage pygi is going to kick my ass tomorrow 10:26 ogra unlikely, i tend to ignore deadlines where i'm allowed to === cbx33 is happy to proof and make corrections if that's needed? 10:26 HedgeMage highvoltage: could have been, it was near dawn my time when the discussion was had 10:26 highvoltage i'll have to stay up late to work on the cookbook then 10:26 ogra and edubuntu docs is something where we can slip 10:26 HedgeMage cbx33: I'd like that when mine goes up 10:26 JaneW ogra: how much? 10:27 JaneW ogra: to the end of the week? 10:27 LaserJock ogra: the doc team is starting a lulu.com store for print copies of doc team material 10:27 ogra i'd say until short before RC 10:27 cbx33 HedgeMage, just ping me or mail me a link : silentkeystroke@googlemail.com 10:27 highvoltage also on docs, cbx33 is going to do some wiki cleanup (which is *much* needed) 10:27 highvoltage cbx33: perhaps you'd like to mention your plans? 10:27 HedgeMage cbx33: okay, will do 10:27 cbx33 indeed i am 10:27 JaneW ogra: but we need time to proof and finalise, so the sooner the better 10:27 ogra but given that we might need to get corrections in, probably end of the week is better 10:27 JaneW what's the likelyhood that this beast is going to be done? 10:27 HedgeMage cbx33: what kind of plans? World domination? 10:27 cbx33 I've started a clean up wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdubuntuWikiCleanup 10:28 cbx33 please if you have any comments on pages just add them below 10:28 cbx33 I intend to make a new mockup of the wiki front page ~ASAP 10:28 JaneW cbx33: great thanks, that will help a lot 10:28 HedgeMage cool 10:28 cbx33 any ideas comments just mail em to me, I'll setup a mock page tomorrow morning 10:28 JaneW we need to make the content valid for the dapper release 10:28 cbx33 indeed 10:28 cbx33 that is the main plan 10:28 ogra note that we need to make the ltsp docs common, they are not edubuntu specific 10:28 JaneW good 10:28 cbx33 also there is a lot of redundnt data in the old one 10:28 ogra even if i always put them below edubuntu docs 10:28 JaneW ogra: yes 10:29 cbx33 see the cleanup 10:29 highvoltage ogra: noted 10:29 cbx33 ogra, noted about the ltsp 10:29 cbx33 i will edit mine 10:29 highvoltage ogra: so they should stay out of the /Edubuntu namespace? 10:29 cbx33 think we need to pull these together 10:29 ogra i think Applicationselectin can go === highvoltage agrees with cbx33 10:29 cbx33 into a kind of ltsp manual 10:29 cbx33 cookbook possibly 10:29 highvoltage all the seperate ltsp pages is a bit confusing 10:29 ogra in favor od the ESA === juliux_ [n=juliux@141.30.211.86] has joined #ubuntu-meeting 10:30 ogra *of 10:30 cbx33 ogra, yes - and ther eare several others like that 10:30 ogra it was a crappy page i used as a dynamic list while we did the first appselection 10:30 ogra edubuntu desktop can go as well 10:30 ogra -software too 10:30 cbx33 mark them on the cleanup if you could ogra :p 10:31 ogra ok 10:31 highvoltage most of the original wiki can go. some parts need to be redone. 10:31 Burgwork when cleaning up the wiki, remember to look for pages that link in, if you are going to delete 10:31 ogra yep 10:31 highvoltage but i trust cbx33 with it :) 10:31 cbx33 thanks highvoltage 10:31 cbx33 I'll not be deleting anything....but moving for now 10:32 ogra the *goals pages are worth archiving 10:32 Burgwork cbx33, moving == deleting in moin 10:32 highvoltage Burgwork: if we'd want to delete some pages, do we just ping on -doc, or should it just be marked as a category for deletion? 10:32 Burgwork highvoltage, just delete them 10:32 JaneW yes app selection was hacked together at the summit, I think it' largely irrelevant now 10:32 Burgwork we trust you 10:32 ogra err 10:32 JaneW although we should have a list of packaged apps 10:32 cbx33 :D 10:32 ogra DapperGoals are the ubuntu dapper goals 10:32 ogra how did that end up there = 10:32 ogra ? 10:32 cbx33 ogra, its a wiki :p 10:33 highvoltage check the history? 10:33 ogra our pages are all prefixed with Edubuntu 10:33 cbx33 if the majority of the cleanup page is approved by you guys I'll start on that tomorrow hopefully 10:34 ogra please make things like TeachingTools EdubuntuTechingTools 10:34 LaserJock JaneW: all package on the Edubuntu CD or just the edubuntu specific ones? 10:34 ogra *Teaching 10:34 JaneW LaserJock: relevent ones I think 10:34 cbx33 ogra, yes will do 10:34 ogra LaserJock, even the science packages from universe 10:35 cbx33 JaneW, does the ESA cover it ? 10:35 JaneW so mostly the edu stuff and then mention the other main ubuntu app like OOo xchat etc 10:35 ogra i looked at the german edubuntu wiki page today, it links to UbuntuScience ;) 10:35 cbx33 so ESA should voer it 10:35 JaneW yes 10:35 cbx33 xchat isn't it edubuntu is it?

10:48 JaneW ogra: shall we try to use it somehow 10:48 JaneW ? 10:48 ogra we should advertise it, yes 10:49 cbx33 anyone seen the plethora of edubuntu videos on goolge? 10:49 highvoltage yep 10:49 HedgeMage nope, I'll have to look 10:49 ogra http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/splash_05a.png 10:49 JaneW ok I think we should link to some of the better tutorials, esp Chris's one which is very good 10:50 JaneW it made me want to install it! 10:50 ogra and: http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/edubuntu/dapper_art/chalkboard.png 10:50 cbx33 ogra, nice splash 10:50 ogra imagine the splash on the chalkboard :) 10:50 ogra makes me freezy 10:50 JaneW ogra: that splash matches at least 10:50 cbx33 JaneW, my point 10:50 highvoltage JaneW: what did you mean about that osdir page?
