But I'm just fantasizing. ok, so much about the CD ... we'll have a install CD ready 01:12 ogra for flight2, i cant promise a liveCD before lamont came back to me ... please start testing 01:12 ogra kjcole, as long as the base is not there, i cant do much ... 01:13 ogra local apps is not on my list for this release 01:13 ogra development in general : 01:13 ogra i inspected willow .... anybody know willow ? 01:13 kjcole ogra: I wasn't suggesting you create it.

Sound is optional in a crowded classroom 01:27 ogra i.e. the faster boot spec 01:28 kjcole flint: especially since they're all listening to their iPod's anyway. 01:28 flint kjcole, or talking on their cell phones... 01:28 ogra the local device spec is a= not done yet and b) depending on work of others who are very busy currently 01:28 Yagisan what has the boot time been reduced to ? 01:29 ogra Yagisan, hard to predict, i totally depend on Keybuks fixes of udev that havent hit dapper yet 01:29 highvoltage ogra: the default edubuntu installer for release, will it use the ncurses d-i or u-e? 01:29 ogra currently my thin client here (a very slow one) produces a bootchart with 50seconds 01:30 highvoltage 50seconds not too bad. 01:30 ogra highvoltage, we'll have two ... 01:30 flint highvoltage, I thought they used whiptail 01:30 kjcole d-i or u-e? also, would multicast tftp help speed the boot process ? It 01:30 Yagisan could allow etherboot systems to load the kernel more efficently 01:30 ogra the liveCD will have u-e but only install the workstation version 01:30 spacey kjcole, debian installer or ubuntu-express 01:30 highvoltage kjcole: debian-installer / ubuntu-express 01:30 ogra te install cd will have d-i and install the server 01:30 highvoltage kjcole: sorry, a bit lazy to type 01:30 Yagisan ogra: after meeting - please tel me how to bootchart my terminals 01:31 ogra Yagisan, sudo apt-get install bootchart in the chroot ;) 01:31 ogra (works only in dapper) === Yagisan makes note to backport it 01:31 kjcole spacey, highvoltage: That's what I get for being an rpm guy in an obviously deb universe. Thanks. 01:31 ogra Yagisan, you cant 01:31 ogra it depends on certain features of initramfsafaik === highvoltage wonders if we could get the flying penguins thingie in ubuntu-express, or something similar, at least 01:32 ogra highvoltage, feel free to chat with Kamion about that, i hav no extra dev time for working on express at all 01:32 highvoltage cool. 01:32 ogra ltsp is more important currently 01:33 highvoltage completely agreed. ok, thats all from my side for now ... if Kamion calls out 01:33 ogra for flight 2 tests, please start testing our CD, it should be fine by then ... 01:33 JaneW thanks ogra 01:34 ogra oh, in a sidenote, the gobby main inclusion report is written and waiting for approval through pitti 01:34 JaneW I can;t belive none of my beaurocratic stuff came through int he beginning - maybe there's an admin filter here ;) 01:34 highvoltage seems like you're way ahead of everyone, ogra. 01:34 JaneW ogra: yay :) 01:34 ogra as soon as thats done i'll add it to the desktop 01:34 flint ogra, thanks for all the hard work, I have been rebuilding my Lab here in Vermont 01:34 jelkner ogra: thanks a 10**6! 01:34 ogra flint, cool 01:35 JaneW ogra: yes well done you have been quietly working away haven't you? 01:35 ogra JaneW, yup... 01:35 spacey hard worker :) 01:35 ogra but my merge bugs take a lot time currently 01:35 kjcole ogra: such a busy boy! 01:35 JaneW understood 01:35 ogra so i cant as much as i would like :) 01:35 JaneW ogra: did you have a prepared summary? 01:35 flint America interrupted all meaningful work here with Thanksgiving Holiday 01:35 mhz ogra: bis from here 01:35 jelkner i need to run (students arriving)... same time next week? 01:36 ogra JaneW, nope, i'll merge it together from the log ... 01:36 JaneW ogra: if so please dump it in a PM for me - if not I'll distill from the logs... 01:36 highvoltage can we talk about the website? 01:36 JaneW highvoltage: yes shoot 01:36 ogra after the meeting 01:36 flint jelkner, go get 'em tiger! 01:36 JaneW ogra: ok 01:36 mhz jelkner: did the how to work? 01:36 JaneW jelkner: bye, thanks 01:36 ogra ciao jelkner 01:36 kjcole jelkner: Same Bat-Time, Same Bat-Channel 01:36 highvoltage ok, let's do the biggest part first. 01:36 jelkner mhz: i'll look it over today, and get back to you 01:36 mhz ok 01:37 highvoltage Philip has convinced me that we should use Drupal for CMS on Edubuntu. 01:37 flint kjcole, Same Chat-Time, Same Chat-Channel :^) === PBurkholder_ [n=chatzill@vpn19.ucar.edu] has joined #ubuntu-meeting 01:37 highvoltage the biggest reason not to use it is because it's php based, and that can potentially open security vulnerabilities. 01:37 highvoltage but ubuntu already uses php for some of the sites. 01:37 ogra highvoltage, have fun with weekly php secuity updates ;) 01:38 Yagisan s/weekly/daily 01:38 ogra heh 01:38 highvoltage ogra: sure 01:38 highvoltage ogra: and it also runs alone on the edubuntu server, the risks are quite low, imo. 01:38 highvoltage hno73 has some great ideas with the wiki. 01:39 ogra if you got a security hole and little scriptkiddies put porn on the frontpage ..... and while i think it will work perfectly with people 01:39 highvoltage familiar with wiki's, I don't think it will work well with our target market 01:39 ogra :) 01:39 highvoltage i.e. overworked underpaid teachers 01:39 highvoltage ogra: i'll know it was you :P 01:39 ogra hahaha 01:39 mhz highvoltage: has he wikied his ideas? (i'd love to read them) 01:39 ogra i have no clue about php :) 01:40 highvoltage mhz: yes, he has 01:40 flint highvoltage, johnathan, you nailed it with the market description. 01:40 mhz highvoltage: cool 01:40 highvoltage http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuSitePublishingTools 01:40 ogra i stay away from it as far as i can... dont fear me... fear 20yr younger kids ;) 01:40 highvoltage http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuWebsitePlan 01:40 highvoltage http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuCommunityIntegration 01:40 mhz highvoltage: duh! I wasn't subscribed :( 01:41 highvoltage ogra: i avoid php too wherever i can, i do think drupal is the best tool for the job though 01:41 highvoltage flint: ;) 01:42 JaneW highvoltage: I have heard good things about it 01:42 highvoltage drupal will make it easier for us to manage the edubuntu documentation too. 01:42 highvoltage and for the web team to add content. 01:42 ogra highvoltage, http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=drupal 01:42 mhz highvoltage: we could have a meeting about moin or something else? 01:42 highvoltage wiki makes it easy too, but then we get back to our target market question 01:43 ogra you should monitor the above page if you use it 01:43 mhz highvoltage: drupal will not make it easier to remember PageNames :( drupal, IIRC also gets grades ffrom the politically 01:43 kjcole progressive crowd. Don't know much about drupal other than a lot of the radical, hippie, Green, etc progressives seem to drift towards it. === hunger [n=hunger@p54A63C9A.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-meeting 01:43 spacey why not stick to the same as ubuntu? 01:43 mhz kjcole: that's true and good feature === jsgotangco [n=jsg@ubuntu/member/jsgotangco] has joined #ubuntu-meeting 01:44 flint kjcole, takes a hippie to know a hippie! :^) 01:44 jsgotangco heya 01:44 mhz hey jsgotangco 01:44 kjcole flint: Tune in, turn on (your computer), drop out. 01:45 flint kjcole, I mean that in the nicest way (damn hippie :^) 01:45 Yagisan brb -sending kids^monsters to bed 01:45 kjcole jsgotangco: Hiya 01:46 jsgotangco are we meeting? 01:46 mhz yup 01:46 flint indeed 01:46 kjcole jsgotangco: yup. 01:47 jsgotangco ok 01:47 highvoltage geez, i must say, i'm a bit torn on this one (usually being a good decision maker) 01:47 mhz highvoltage: what decision? 01:47 spacey why not stick to the same as ubuntu? drupal will suite our needs very well, but like ogra says, 01:47 highvoltage we don't want to end up with a site with porn on the front page 01:47 mhz exactly 01:47 highvoltage mhz: drupal as CMS for edubuntu 01:48 mhz highvoltage: why can't we work closer to Moin wiki devels? 01:48 ogra if someone cares for weekly updates of the server drupal is fine .... 01:48 spacey its not really straight forwarded if edubuntu has everything completely different from ubuntu? 01:48 ogra the thing is that the security stuff requires someone to care for it all the time 01:48 JaneW seems to labour intensive 01:48 mhz highvoltage: this way we'll include what's missing 01:48 highvoltage ogra: does the ubuntu-updates cover the security vulnerabilities for php? 01:48 JaneW is there another good option? === JaneW shudders ... that Kewl next gen thing? 01:49 ogra highvoltage, i dont know the priority of drupal here ... but it should, yes 01:49 mhz JaneW: sure, MoinMoin :) 01:49 flint highvoltage, my favorite dream app is a php interperter running in zope... 01:49 ogra JaneW, Kewl is something else ... 01:49 Yagisan well, if it isn't in main, someone needs to work full time on keeping it going, and secure 01:49 ogra and has no security monitoring at all ... 01:49 highvoltage so, let's try Drupal, if it gives us problems we change it. 01:49 JaneW ogra: from the demo I saw it seemed to have CMS stuff...? 01:50 highvoltage JaneW, ogra: you fine with that? 01:50 flint you have to keep php patched for moodle... 01:50 JaneW highvoltage: if you are prepared to own it and keep it up to date and running... ;) 01:50 Yagisan does anyone here know how to use Drupal ? 01:50 ogra JaneW, yes, but its php based and has no big community yet ... so vulnerabilitys wont be found or known ... 01:50 ogra there drupal is the better option 01:50 mhz highvoltage: what about the 'scroring' feature of Trac (Trac is based in moin) 01:50 highvoltage Yagisan: i've used drupal before 01:50 spacey what was wrong with moinmoin? 01:50 JaneW ogra: ok (for the record I don't like it anyway) 01:50 ogra heh 01:51 JaneW ogra: I'd rather go with drupal 01:51 mhz Yagisan: i tried it twice 01:51 highvoltage mhz: apparently drupal is quite good at those kind of things Philip talked alot about it. i think he called it taxonomy. 01:51 mhz twice =2 diff. sites 01:51 ogra JaneW, yes, but highvoltage will have a lot of work through it ... 01:51 spacey JaneW, you don't like what? 01:51 mhz highvoltage: yup 01:51 Yagisan ok - I just don't think you should use anything that you can't administrate 01:51 JaneW spacey: KEWL.nextGen 01:51 mhz highvoltage: taxonomy could easily be implemented in Moin, afailk 01:51 ogra JaneW, if he's fine with potential weekly updates etc, it shouldnt be a problem 01:52 spacey right, rings a bell, can't remember, and sounds nasty :P 01:52 jsgotangco mhz: let's not be too enthusaistic about Moin 01:52 jsgotangco :) 01:52 mhz jsgotangco: not possible for me :) JaneW, ogra: we can have it as a non-live site, 01:52 highvoltage proto.edubuntu.org with a htpassword, and once we're happy with it, it goes live. 01:52 jsgotangco mhz: i just find it creepy sometimes 01:52 JaneW highvoltage: cool 01:52 flint highvoltage, remember how you identify the pioneer, he is the guy with the arrow in his back... === JaneW finds moin finctional, but not mindblowing JaneW, my only concern is that it needs someone who 01:52 ogra continiously has the time to fix stuff probably on a weekly base 01:52 mhz highvoltage: jsgotangco: have you ever subscried to a page in Drupal === jsgotangco doesn't like Drupal 01:53 spacey whats wrong with the stuff which edubuntu uses atm? in the meantime, i'll educate myseld on the common problems 01:53 highvoltage with drupal, and php, and make sure our system starts out as secure as it can be === jsgotangco is *still* a zope person === Yagisan is still a plain html person - no sec worries there === highvoltage would like to be a zope person 01:53 JaneW highvoltage: would we have a regression path is we change our minds? 01:53 JaneW s/is/if 01:53 flint jsgotangco, oh thank you for the zope plug, and there is always plone! === highvoltage is currently a cgi .py person 01:54 jsgotangco flint: including plone of course 01:54 highvoltage JaneW: we can have 2 backups 01:54 flint highvoltage, how external :^) === spacey likes dokuwiki ;x 01:54 JaneW ok no more free advertising guys :P 01:54 highvoltage JaneW: we can more or less maintain our current site as a fallback, 01:54 highvoltage and we can copy and paste from the drupal site to a new one, if we want. Haven't personally tried anything but MoinMoin, but I've 01:54 kjcole liked being able to understand the source I've looked at and tweak it a bit. Rare for me. (Done some of that with Mailman as well.) 01:54 JaneW ok, well then lets try and see how it goes, given that you have the time and inclination 01:54 highvoltage we could also save some pages as .html and link them up, but that's just yucky. 01:54 highvoltage JaneW: but yes, we can have fallbacks. 01:55 highvoltage (and we will) 01:55 JaneW kjcole: me too, but it seems it's to try and 'technical' for the averegae teacher, from what I hear 01:55 mhz kjcole: what can i say? i agree :) 01:55 jsgotangco i'll afk for 5 minutes go to rush to the drugstore 01:55 kjcole jsgotangco: Zope's a bit heavy for edubuntu, no? 01:55 jsgotangco kjcole: pretty much yeah highvoltage, if you were really mad and blind with ambition, 01:56 flint you would propose writing a python script which would update the current site to drupal. 01:56 flint you need zope if you are running schooltool 01:56 highvoltage flint: if i were really mand and blind with ambition, i would write a python app that replaces drupal entirely :) 01:57 ogra kjcole, why ? 01:57 spacey are you mad and blind? 01:57 flint highvoltage, excellent point! i admire the mad. 01:57 highvoltage spacey: only on wednesdays highvoltage: are you sure that working with Moin devel guys 01:57 mhz won't let us have the missing features (still understand which, though) 01:57 spacey :) 01:57 flint ok sleepy and blind with ambition 01:57 highvoltage mhz: it will, but at a time price. mhz: hno73 has lots of cool ideas, and have been following 01:58 highvoltage moinmoin quite extensively, and you can do everything we want to, but not quite yet. ogra: In my limited experience, zope + plone just seemed to 01:58 kjcole be "big", whereas moin seemed "small". No actual empirical evidence (other than watching the install process for both in RHEL3.) 01:58 highvoltage some of the features take some extra coding, some are still being developed. 01:59 highvoltage what it comes down to currently, is the usability. 01:59 highvoltage that's more important to me now that functionality. 01:59 ogra kjcole, but zope/ploe is safe ... 01:59 ogra *plone 01:59 spacey thats what we have now right? 01:59 highvoltage i think it's better to have less features, but have a system that's easier to use. 01:59 ogra kjcole, and requires nearly no admin work after being set up ... 01:59 highvoltage spacey: ubuntu is partially plone highvoltage: the only features I understand Drupal have over 02:00 mhz Moin is Forum, Voting, and Polls. The rest I think are all implementavle. But IMHO, drupal has less total features than moin. 02:00 JaneW ok time's up, and we only discussed technical and webiste... 02:00 JaneW was there anything else? 02:00 highvoltage can we have more time? personally i don't like plone, but i do think it is quite 02:00 spacey nice to have the same system as ubuntu, not to confuse endusers with different systems 02:00 JaneW what happened in the ally meeting last week? 02:00 flint JaneW, I agree enough about the factory back to the product === PBurkholder__ [n=chatzill@vpn2.ucar.edu] has joined #ubuntu-meeting === PBurkholder__ is now known as PBurkholder 02:00 mhz highvoltage: good point usability v/s funcioanlity ogra: Safe is good. ;-) But after setting up both, I found 02:01 kjcole myself regularly updating my Moin pages, and fearing Zope/Plone. Three books on Zope, and no books on Moin. 02:01 JaneW highvoltage: sure, thing is I have a commitment at 15:10 each day, so the meetings need to be pretty punctual 02:01 kjcole ` 02:01 highvoltage okay, for those interested, please join the web team on launchpad 02:01 highvoltage https://launchpad.net/people/edubuntu-website 02:01 JaneW please guys feel free to update the tables in http://wiki.edubuntu.org/MeetingRecords 02:01 flint JaneW, why so obsessive about lunch? 02:01 JaneW even if we don;t get to discussing the stuff it can still be in the status reprts 02:01 kjcole ogra: (I mean I have three books on Zope, and no books on Moin). So from a non-techie point of view... also, from the TSF side, i'm working on some documentation 02:02 highvoltage for Edubuntu for our Edubuntu roll-out in April/June next year 02:02 ogra in a sidenote, edubuntu has a booth, a installtion workshop and i'll hold a talk at the linuxtag essen on saturday ... 02:02 spacey you should make it a subteam of edubuntu 02:02 JaneW flint: heh, no it's my turn to fetch kids :P 02:02 mhz JaneW: i'll reply to patrizzio 02:02 flint I want to beg forgiveness for not doing any documentation...

The bzr branch is up on Launchpad now, but this morning jelkner said "Let's not do this docbook stuff. Let's do lore." 02:04 highvoltage i can keep further info for next meeting. 02:04 mhz highvoltage: I'd be glad to jump in in that Edubuntu doc 02:04 kjcole He's very into lore. 02:05 jsgotangco kjcole: please write as you will, I can easily move to docbook as needed 02:05 highvoltage mhz: excellent :) we'll manage that through our new drupal site, the proto site should be up within the next week 02:05 jsgotangco just focus on content 02:05 flint kjcole, openoffice 2.0 outputs docbook as a save option... 02:05 jsgotangco flint: not good enough 02:05 jsgotangco i'd rather have you guys write in ODF 02:06 highvoltage jsgotangco: do you prefer ODF? 02:06 jsgotangco and i'll slave on the actual code transformation 02:06 mhz highvoltage: grrrr, okis I'l try to be objective (very difficult :D ) 02:06 jsgotangco highvoltage: flexible enough to move to other formats === highvoltage didn't realise that 02:06 JaneW ok, it;s going to be very hard for me to document this weeks meeting... 02:06 JaneW are we agreed that we'll TRY drupal? jsgotangco: Since I have the docbook and reST sources already, (for tuxLab Cookbook) and that's what we're basing 02:06 kjcole off of, it seemed easier to edit the existing, rather than convert, but I'm not particularly committed to any particular method. 02:06 highvoltage JaneW: yes 02:07 JaneW and all accountability and responsibility for it is on highvoltage (no pressure) ;) 02:07 mhz JaneW: hmm, yes 02:07 highvoltage JaneW: we will install it on a prototype platform, and put in content and evaluate how it works for us 02:07 JaneW cool, works for me 02:07 jsgotangco kjcole: let's focus on content first, the coding would be easier 02:07 highvoltage JaneW: then, if we're happy that it covers our old site, we move across to the drupal site for our main site 02:07 jsgotangco *trust me* 02:07 kjcole jsgotangco: Fine by me. 02:07 highvoltage jsgotangco: i have a policy to never trust anyone who says "trust me" 02:08 jsgotangco highvoltage: lol ok i take that as a compliment 02:08 jsgotangco :D 02:08 highvoltage JaneW: meeting notes better? 02:08 kjcole In any case, we made good progress, hand-editing hard-copies, and trimmed quite a bit. JaneW: yesterday night, I mentioned to Seveas that not 02:08 mhz having edubuntu-es or anything regarding ubuntu, may cause newcomers a little problem IF we find no proper conduct in there (we can't slap or kick) === JaneW must go back in 30 mins or so JaneW: so I'll ping him on friday if the person who 02:09 mhz registered edubunt-es doesn't show up, and Seveas is working on some 'guidlines' 02:09 JaneW mhz: I'll pick up in #edubuntu when I return ok? 02:09 mhz okis 02:09 ogra mhz, we normally dont slap or kick people ... 02:10 flint highvoltage, my feeling about drupal is "once a philosopher, twice a pervert" what can it hurt to try... 02:10 JaneW mhz: sounds like you need a CoC 02:10 mhz ogra: hehehe, you know what i mean 02:10 mhz CoC? 02:10 ogra mhz, first target is to convince by talking ... 02:10 highvoltage flint: naked people is part of ubuntu's heritage 02:10 flint JaneW, enjoy the kidos i'm for coffee for 5 minutes... 02:10 mhz ogra: sure, that's why i said IF 02:10 JaneW flint: k, send me pics of yours! mhz and another fellow (toxictoadz) have joined the Edubuntu 02:10 kjcole Cookbook Cooks, and I'm probably looking at them for translation work... 02:10 ogra mhz, we kicked exactly one troll in #edubuntu it its whole existance .... after trying to convince 2 weeks 02:10 kjcole mhz, yes? 02:11 highvoltage wow, not bad. 02:11 mhz ogra: really? who? 02:11 highvoltage bill gates? he's been trolling a lot lately. 02:11 Seveas ghe, in #ubuntu the kick rate is somewhat highrt :) 02:11 mhz kjcole: sorry, lost me... what? 02:11 jsgotangco i remember that.... 02:11 ogra mhz, kicking should be the very last resort ... and you should be able to contact the owner within this timeframe 02:11 flint I was hoping to be elected troll... 02:12 ogra mhz, she was called JenniferX 02:12 mhz ogra: indeed 02:12 highvoltage meeting finished? 02:12 flint I am a troll befor coffee. back in 5 02:12 ogra meeting finished ! 02:12 spacey ok:) 02:12 ogra thanks all
