[00:35] <pleia2> stgraber: nicely done :)
[00:35] <ajmitch> stgraber: very apt, I keep on hearing of schools in NZ that mandate ipads for their students
[00:41] <mhall119> stgraber: congrats!
[00:41] <mhall119> 1 millionth bug
[00:42] <stgraber> so now Edubuntu has its own big bug to try and fix :)
[00:45] <ajmitch> so now we just need an edubuntu image for that zatab that I can boot & use, right? :)
[00:46] <highvoltage> that would be a good start. we'll need the apps and eco-system too.
[00:46] <highvoltage> but I hope we get some backing and help from the community team *wink* *wink*
[00:46] <ajmitch> having a bootable image to hack on & which displays stuff is probably the first step
[00:47] <highvoltage> yeah, I'm working on getting a few of them. you're lucky to already have one on your desk :)
[00:47] <ajmitch> yeah it's sitting beside me, just running android right now though
[00:47] <highvoltage> I first thought the resolution was low, but on wikipedia I see it's the same resolution than the ipad2
[00:47] <highvoltage> so it's not that bad actually
[00:48] <ajmitch> main things that it lacks is 3g, bluetooth & gps afaik
[00:48] <ajmitch> not really showstoppers
[00:49] <stgraber> these are features you usually don't want in a school environment anyway
[00:50] <highvoltage> hmm, yeah at least it would make sharing files between studends during exams/tests harder :)
[00:51] <highvoltage> we could make edubuntu server firewall them off from one another during tests.
[00:51] * highvoltage is getting ahead of himself
[00:51] <ajmitch> big red lockdown button
[00:51] <stgraber> highvoltage: blocking network should be done through epoptes, I know quite a few people who'd like it

[12:37] <mhall119> stgraber: highvoltage: do you guys have trello accounts?
[12:38] <highvoltage> mhall119: I created one during UDS when I saw dholbach using it
[12:38] <highvoltage> it seems useful, I just haven't gotten in to it yet
[12:39] <mhall119> what's your username?
[12:40] <highvoltage> checking...

[12:41] <mhall119> thanks, I've added you to the upstream app developers board
[12:41] <highvoltage> great
[12:42] <mhall119> so any educational apps you want us to try and get submitted to MyApps, just add them to the first column
[12:43] <highvoltage> ok thanks a lot! we're migrating to drupal 7, after that we want to put out a call for apps that people really want to see in edubuntu, we should be able to get a good list out of that
[13:09] <highvoltage> *sigh* at http://www.perrier.eu.org/weblog/2012/05/16#lp-1000000
[13:20] <vmlintu> there's been a lot of politics in the air lately
[13:23] <highvoltage> well, I tend to agree with him about the langauge stuff, that is indeed quite sucky, but in edubuntu we've always been proud of our debian herritage.
[13:24] <highvoltage> we could perhaps be more clear about it, but I think we've been quite reasonable.
[13:26] <vmlintu> highvoltage: now that I remember, was there any work done last year on using lightdm instead of ldm? There was discussion about it, but I couldn't find else
[13:30] <vmlintu> the systemd discussion flamed also quite a bit last week..
[13:35] <highvoltage> vmlintu: yep, sbalneav made really good progress on libpamssh. maybe after next BTS lightdm could actually be used for LTSP :)
[13:37] <vmlintu> We did some testing using ssh w/kerberos logins which takes away the need for libpam-ssh/libnss-ssh. Logins work nicely, but getting everything else needs definitely work
[13:37] <vmlintu> this was with lightdm
[13:39] <vmlintu> I could probably spend some time on getting things working better once schools are out
[13:48] <highvoltage> stgraber: do you remember where the map is and all the information for the greece schools using ltsp?
[13:57] <stgraber> highvoltage: google says: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=el&msa=0&msid=110322056715625861481.0004948b9931c4181a66d&z=7
[13:58] * highvoltage eventually found it via google too (for some reason I thought it would've been harder to find, d'oh)
