- 21:04 < white> ok i welcome all of you to the first communication hour about the future situation of an administration tool
- 21:05 < white> i prepared a small agenda
- 21:05 < finnarne> white: I have logs from 2004 :)
- 21:05 < white> i want to mention the following points tonight:
- 21:05 < white> 1. who has which ideas
- 21:05 < white> 2. how can we integrate these ideas (ldap scheme existing one, new one)
- 21:06 < white> 3. how can we cooperate with other distris and shall we share one
- 21:06 < white> 4. who wants to work on this field
- 21:06 < white> 5. deadlines for etch
- 21:06 < white> anyone else who wants to add points to this agenda?
- 21:06 < white> RalfG: please put them into the wiki as you are faster than me ;)
- 21:06 < RalfG> I will white
- 21:07 < k4x> i would like to know who is working on which tool
- 21:07 < white> RalfG: thanks
- 21:07 < RalfG> but should we discuss the order?
- 21:07 < RalfG> maybe there is objections (just in case)?
- 21:07 < k4x> i would loike to start with point 5
- 21:07 < finnarne> k4x: way to early to start discussing tools
- 21:07 < white> k4x: should be already inlcuded
- 21:07 < white> at first who has which ideas, i want to collect them
- 21:07 < white> who wants to start?
- 21:08 -!- georg [n=damm at C5475.c.strato-dslnet.de] has joined #debian-edu
- 21:08 < white> i can also start no problem :)
- 21:08 < k4x> what are the deadlines?
- 21:08 < finnarne> k4x that is point 5
- 21:09 < finnarne> k4x: that means it's the last point
- 21:09 < white> finnarne: can you start?
- 21:09 < white> k4x: then maybe you
- 21:09 < finnarne> white: you start
- 21:09 < RalfG> The Agenda wasn't discussed
- 21:09 < white> RalfG: we do not have time for that
- 21:10 < white> general ideas:
- 21:10 < white> i guess we have a german one called cipux is that right?
- 21:10 < finnarne> are we starting to talk about tools already ?
- 21:10 < C14r> yes CipUX
- 21:10 < white> finnarne: no general ideas but i don't want to start
- 21:10 < RalfG> "ideas" was propposed (and not discussed) to be 1.
- 21:11 < white> C14r: can you explain in short the idea behind it without going into details about the tool?
- 21:11 < finnarne> ok I'll start, since I guess I've been thinking about this for the longest time.
- 21:11 < C14r> finnarne: ok
- 21:11 < finnarne> Up until now, we've had things in various DB
- 21:11 < finnarne> some is text-files
- 21:11 < finnarne> some if in ldap
- 21:12 < finnarne> and ther have been no effort to join them.
- 21:12 < RalfG> example for text files?
- 21:12 < finnarne> Some people have even talked about adding som sql behind it all.
- 21:12 < finnarne> the following has been located in ldap:
- 21:12 < finnarne> - User account
- 21:13 < finnarne> - netgroups
- 21:13 < finnarne> the following has been stored in text-files:
- 21:13 < finnarne> - dns
- 21:13 < finnarne> - dhcp
- 21:13 < finnarne> - iptables rules (if any)
- 21:13 < finnarne> sorry, forgot about automount info in ldap
- 21:13 < RalfG> thanks for the sumary
- 21:14 < finnarne> continuing on text-files:
- 21:14 < finnarne> squid rules
- 21:14 < finnarne> anything els (klausade, please help me)
- 21:14 < k4x> munin
- 21:14 < klausade> would be nice to have email adresses in ldap
- 21:15 < finnarne> Well, we dont store email addresses so far.
- 21:15 < Werner> we don't need all the details .. please go on finnarne :)
- 21:15 < white> finnarne: ok for me the question would be how we will handle this in the future
- 21:15 < finnarne> there is even some data stored in some obscure files, but I dont remember which now.
- 21:16 < finnarne> well, almost all of this could be stored in ldap
- 21:16 < finnarne> And if we do ldap properly, it can even scale.
- 21:16 < finnarne> But we need to avoid to define our own scheme
- 21:16 < finnarne> because that is something that breaks the upgrade-path
- 21:16 < white> finnarne: so you suggest all these information inside ldap?
- 21:17 < finnarne> as our primary storage, for the average school, yes
- 21:17 < white> finnarne: hmm we have to take care of the scheme
- 21:17 < C14r> LDAP was made to expand easily
- 21:17 < Werner> if we should move everything into ldap, we also need new tools to configure everything..
- 21:17 < white> and we should make sure that we follow the standard especially with other distros
- 21:17 < finnarne> then if someone needs to go beyond that they can add some sql if they need.
- 21:17 < RalfG> what advantage would you see? as administrating teacher I can rather edit ascii files than ldap contents
- 21:18 < white> finnarne: would this expand the administration effort?
- 21:18 < finnarne> and by using one common storage for everything, it would be easier to add some tool, both command-line and gui or web, to administer it all
- 21:19 < finnarne> RalfG: How do you add a new fileshare these days ?
- 21:19 < Werner> isn't it more important to discuss a framework for tools to configure all the services .. no matter how the underlying configuration is stored?
- 21:19 < klausade> RalfG: editing dhcp.conf files across 5-10 serveres is a pain.
- 21:19 < RalfG> klausade: I agree
- 21:20 < RalfG> it becomes clear, that this is desirable, but at same speed as moving config to ldap the admin tools have to be developped
- 21:20 < white> ok having all in the database
- 21:20 < white> it seems that we all agree in general to continue using ldap
- 21:20 < white> is that right, any objections?
- 21:20 < RalfG> I lack the survey of alternatives
- 21:20 < C14r> we do
- 21:21 < white> then finnarne's suggestion was to move every service into ldap
- 21:21 < RalfG> one by one are at once?
- 21:21 < white> Werner: you mentioned the framework part, can you expand it a bit?
- 21:21 < RalfG> s/are/or
- 21:22 < C14r> one by one i would suggest, if you do not whant a dead brain ;-)
- 21:23 < white> are there objections against finnarne's suggestion?
- 21:23 < k4x> German School distros: Arktur 4.x is putting all into ldap, BadenWuerttemberg is using a ldap and a postgres db
- 21:23 < C14r> SuSe is using LDAP
- 21:23 < C14r> white: this is not new!
- 21:23 < white> k4x C14r: everything in ldap or just parts?
- 21:23 < RalfG> in general it sounds good. the whereabouts are to discuss
- 21:24 < Werner> white: I believe we should agree on a common framework for making "tools" for each service we want to let the teachers configure .. kind of like webmin.
- 21:24 < C14r> white: if you have time enough you could stare everything in ldap but it may not be nessesary
- 21:24 < RalfG> how to get "clean" ldap schemes? is there a central team? yes, the framework as Werner says
- 21:24 < C14r> onle remote configurable data, or data for more then one server must go into the lDAP
- 21:24 < finnarne> Werner: I think we should start by having a command-line tools
- 21:24 < Werner> but of course the most important thing is that we agree on how to configure the services and if ldap is the choise, we need to agree on a common scheme to use..
- 21:24 < white> Werner: right
- 21:24 < C14r> finnarne: we have Comand line tools
- 21:25 < Werner> finnarne: do you believe the teachers agree?
- 21:25 < white> the scheme is very very important as it decides about many parts
- 21:25 < C14r> Werner: no
- 21:25 < finnarne> Werner: Yes, if we give them a command-line, and then a gui or web interface on top
- 21:25 < RalfG> finnarne: maybe command line tools, anyway something simple with open API and remote access
- 21:25 < white> we also need to discuss the scheme with other distros!
- 21:25 < C14r> white: you said you would not like to have an extra schema
- 21:26 < Werner> finnarne: hmm .. I kind of dislike gui's built on top of command-line tools..
- 21:26 < RalfG> Werner: why?
- 21:26 < white> let's keep on the scheme
- 21:26 < RalfG> this is the unix style
- 21:26 < C14r> white: we did
- 21:26 < k4x> there is a scheme as proposel what university are using
- 21:26 < Werner> RalfG: unix style is command-line tools only .. and I really like that.
- 21:26 < white> do we need to get an own scheme or share one with other distros as well?
- 21:27 < Werner> RalfG: e.g. password-handling is much better when using a library from the gui than a command-line tool.
- 21:27 < RalfG> is there a central scheme police? ;)
- 21:27 < Werner> white: scheeme for what?
- 21:27 < white> Werner: ldap
- 21:27 < finnarne> Werner: if the command-line tools have a library, that one can be used from the gui as well
- 21:27 < Werner> white: but we'll probably have to agree on one scheeme for userdb, one for netgroups, .. and so on.
- 21:27 < RalfG> Werner: I get your point, so maybe another simple remote protocol
- 21:28 < white> Werner: yes this was also my idea, but we have to think about it
- 21:28 < Werner> finnarne: now we are speaking :)
- 21:28 < finnarne> Werner: but first we need something that works
- 21:28 < C14r> Cipux works
- 21:28 < finnarne> C14r: I doubt it
- 21:28 < RalfG> white: how about putting the scheme for discussion on some wiki page?
- 21:29 < k4x> why not use the common scheme from universities?
- 21:29 < C14r> finnarne: look at the schools
- 21:29 < RalfG> finnarne: I can confirm that cipux works
- 21:29 < white> RalfG: good idea, please create a wiki page for that
- 21:29 < Werner> I believe we have two issues here .. the most important one is how we want to configure each service, where the configuration data should be stored (incl. schemes if ldap)..
- 21:29 < finnarne> C14r: is it upgradable ?
- 21:29 < da5id__> finnarne: why do you doubt? I've seen it!
- 21:29 < RalfG> white: you have the scheme
- 21:29 < Werner> the second is the tools to modify the config data.
- 21:29 < RalfG> finnarne: can you please explain your doubts
- 21:29 < C14r> finnarne: why not?
- 21:29 < white> Werner: right
- 21:30 < C14r> finnarne: yes please explain your doubts
- 21:30 < white> we should maybe add a wiki paget about the first point Werner
- 21:30 < finnarne> C14r: I have not taken part of the development :)
- 21:30 < C14r> finnarne: you are invited!
- 21:30 < RalfG> ah, so this is why you don't use ooo either
- 21:30 < finnarne> C14r: to late :)
- 21:30 < C14r> finnarne: never to late!
- 21:31 < C14r> finnarne: can you please explain your doubts technical?
- 21:31 < RalfG> what decisions whould you have done different finnarne
- 21:31 < finnarne> C14r: to be serious, I had a look at it, and the installation process gave me some doubts
- 21:32 < C14r> finnarne: yes this can be optimized. This should be done in the debian way.
- 21:32 < C14r> finnarne: do you write the installer?
- 21:32 < RalfG> thanks skolelinux cipux became a debian package
- 21:32 < finnarne> C14r: no, I've stopped contributing, like the rest of you
- 21:33 < C14r> finnarne: contributing to debian-edu?
- 21:33 < RalfG> I hear some disappointment here
- 21:33 < white> ok let's keep on our discussion
- 21:33 < white> instead of talking about other things
- 21:33 < RalfG> I think we are in the middle of it white
- 21:33 < white> Werner: can you please create a wiki page about the first point
- 21:33 < white> RalfG: no we are talking about old things
- 21:33 < C14r> white: I thing finnarne should have his time to contribute!
- 21:34 < Werner> white: I'll try..
- 21:34 < white> C14r: this is another point and it is up to finnarne to decide where he wants to contribute
- 21:34 < C14r> white: I mean in this discussion!
- 21:34 < RalfG> finnarne: as I undserstood you would like to develop that command line interface yourself? is this realistic?
- 21:35 < finnarne> C14r: My point is that we should not start by using something existing, we should start thinking about our needs, then find what solution is closest.
- 21:36 < finnarne> RalfG: I have my own command-line interface, which even have a gui if needed
- 21:36 < RalfG> Even though I am using CiPUX daily and think it gives all we need, I am open in my decision.
- 21:36 < finnarne> I also have my own CD
- 21:36 < C14r> finnarne: CipUX was designed for university an school, how close it can get?
- 21:36 < finnarne> and I never use kde
- 21:36 < white> right seems that everyone wants to talk about tools
- 21:36 < RalfG> finnarne: I believe you, but why don't I use them?
- 21:37 < finnarne> because they are reserved for those who pay me to make them better
- 21:37 < white> well it is the first open meeting to get a small overview, so if you want to discuss tools :)
- 21:37 < RalfG> now we are at businuess models
- 21:37 < finnarne> RalfG: I'm starting to loose faith in the Open Source model
- 21:37 < Werner> finnarne: released under what license?
- 21:37 < RalfG> I can feel it
- 21:38 < finnarne> Werner: GPL
- 21:38 < da5id__> finnarne: what do you mean by "for those who pay me to make them better"?
- 21:38 < C14r> white: the concepts behind that tools are very similar, look at the CipUX page http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/CipUX/
- 21:39 < finnarne> da5id__: I try to do this for a living, but someone tries to put my business out.
- 21:39 < RalfG> finnarne: this is an interesting topic - but for us it leads to much astray
- 21:40 < Werner> can we please concentrate on admin tools, not business models?
- 21:40 < da5id__> finnarne: Do you think CipUx is a threat to your business?
- 21:40 < finnarne> nope
- 21:40 < RalfG> so what is your offer? can't we use GPL whilst still getting paid?
- 21:40 < finnarne> I know my user wont touch CipUX
- 21:40 < finnarne> but lets foxus on the topc
- 21:40 < finnarne> s/topc/topic
- 21:41 < RalfG> we could have another database to collect money from schools for features
- 21:41 < C14r> RalfG: good point!
- 21:41 < Werner> RalfG: that is a completely different discussion :)
- 21:41 < white> RalfG: well i don't think that it is the right meeting to talk about commercial money stuff
- 21:41 < RalfG> free money I meant
- 21:41 < RalfG> :)
- 21:41 < C14r> :)
- 21:41 < da5id__> white: I agree, lets have another meeting for business models and money stuff
- 21:42 < RalfG> k, can we find an agenda for now?
- 21:42 < white> RalfG: another point and beside we don't have the infrastructure :)
- 21:42 < white> we have 20 minutes left
- 21:42 < RalfG> php/mysql?
- 21:42 < white> RalfG: strange agenda? :)
- 21:42 < k4x> please lets concentrate
- 21:42 < C14r> white: are you the leader?
- 21:42 < RalfG> okay: so we need a set of schemes
- 21:42 < RalfG> Werner puts them in the wiki
- 21:43 < white> Werner agreed in creating the wiki page
- 21:43 < finnarne> C14r: Yes, white is the leader of this meeting
- 21:43 < RalfG> white: is the moderator
- 21:43 < C14r> please add the cipux schema
- 21:43 < white> did somebody talked with other distros?
- 21:43 < white> i guess it is important to collaborate or?
- 21:43 < C14r> white: yes
- 21:43 < C14r> white: not very
- 21:43 < RalfG> C14r: everybody can add content to the wiki
- 21:43 < white> for that we need the same ldap scheme
- 21:43 < Werner> I will make a page where we can fill in suggested schemes/configuration models for each service.
- 21:43 < white> Werner: goodie ;)
- 21:44 < C14r> white: that is nearly impossible
- 21:44 < white> C14r: why?
- 21:44 < finnarne> C14r: because everyone is depending on their own schema's ?
- 21:44 < white> i got some mails from suse school server and they want to collaborate
- 21:44 < georg> Is there a possibility to define an abstraction layer between the ldap-scheme and the tools, that makes it possible to use various schemes/databases? It would be interesting for collaboration?
- 21:44 < white> and share one scheme
- 21:44 < da5id__> I think we can all agree that ldap is a good place to store everything and that we should have an ldap scheme that is as compatible as possible with other distros and suits the requirements of schools, right?
- 21:44 < C14r> This is the distinction of the school server it thouches the buisniss modell Wy bing Suse if it can the same as Skole?
- 21:44 < k4x> lets take the CipUx scheme and look what is missing
- 21:45 < Werner> georg: then we'll have problems with common upgrades..
- 21:45 < RalfG> we are discussing 1+2 simultaneously. are there further ideas besides CiPUX anyway?
- 21:45 < C14r> k4x: goot point!
- 21:45 < white> RalfG: we are not talking about tools
- 21:45 < Werner> isn't cipux using the same ldap schemes that we are in the standard installation?
- 21:45 < finnarne> k4x: lets start by finding what we need, and see if we find something that matches
- 21:45 < white> we are talking about the way we want it
- 21:45 < C14r> white: Suse will not whant to
- 21:45 < k4x> white: which distros do you think we should look at?
- 21:46 < C14r> Werner: yes an one additional schema
- 21:46 < white> suse, edubuntu, openschoolserver
- 21:46 < jever> Why thinking about colaboration without having a tool in our hands that fits our needs?
- 21:46 < Werner> do we really need one additional?
- 21:46 < white> especially edubuntu as we have a good cooperation with them
- 21:46 < finnarne> Werner: no
- 21:46 < white> C14r: for what is the additional one?
- 21:46 < C14r> white: yes i think so!
- 21:46 < white> jever: because we should talk about what we need and not which car we want to buy
- 21:47 < white> jever: at first which needs do we have then buy the right car
- 21:47 < k4x> edubuntu is starting with ldap, will you wait on Mark?
- 21:47 < white> k4x: who talks about waiting?
- 21:47 < RalfG> C14r: do you have a documentation of your scheme?
- 21:47 < C14r> machines, roles, rooms, images, mac address (did you know that the standard mac address schema is broken?)
- 21:47 < white> k4x: i am talking about cooperation
- 21:47 < jever> Our needs are discoussed every day on the lists
- 21:47 < C14r> RalfG: the schema by it self
- 21:47 < C14r> white: I took part in Nurnberg
- 21:48 < white> jever: here we are talking about the developer needs and how we can come cllose to the user needs to adjust them
- 21:48 < white> C14r: i also got a report from nurnberg and some other talks with canonical, oepn school server ...
- 21:48 < C14r> white: i disagree, we should see the case from the teachers view!
- 21:48 < k4x> Nuernberg = Suse and Arktur and Openschoolserver Meeting
- 21:48 < Werner> C14r: if something standard is broken, we should fix rather than creating our own workaround that will make us suffer when it comes to upgradeability..
- 21:48 < jever> do the developer know what the users want, I doubt
- 21:49 < white> jever: do the users know what is posisble, secure, upgradable and the best for them? i doubt
- 21:49 < finnarne> jever: some developers is also running multiple installations.
- 21:49 < C14r> Werner: ok a agree, but most features new.
- 21:49 < RalfG> user requirements should be the starting point
- 21:49 < jever> finnarne: but developers can help themselves
- 21:49 < white> jever: while administrating 1000 of machines?
- 21:49 < C14r> Werner: But is LDAP was made for extension. Its only a Debian Problem, the upgrade.
- 21:49 < jever> users are comming from distros like MS
- 21:50 < jever> they often want it easy clicking
- 21:50 < white> anyway when we have a cooperation we would have move manpower working and improving that
- 21:50 < C14r> Werner: I never had problems with CipUX on Trustix or Suse that way
- 21:50 < white> well upgradeability is a must
- 21:50 < RalfG> the GUI is a matter of itself, we rather need use cases
- 21:50 < white> anyway
- 21:50 < finnarne> jever: Since I do this for a living, and have been a Debian-edu eveloper for some years, and I earn my money by supporting users of Debian-edu, I think I know what users want, and I think I know about keeping things secure and upgradable
- 21:50 < white> we need to fix the ground, writing a guy in qt, gtk or whatsoever isn't that effort
- 21:51 < C14r> white: Its a OpenLDAp Policy problem, why do they not have a schema add script?
- 21:51 < RalfG> and become independend of webmin
- 21:51 < jever> finnarne: but you are 1 person who knows, what about the rest?
- 21:51 < C14r> white: We should fix openldap!
- 21:51 < finnarne> C14r: gor ahead
- 21:51 < white> C14r: that is buggy anyway :)
- 21:51 < finnarne> s/gor/go
- 21:52 < C14r> But we are uning it!
- 21:52 < RalfG> finnarne: and you are one person who hestitates (with reasons) sharing his knowledge ;)
- 21:52 < white> but yes openldap in debian needs some improvements i agree
- 21:52 < C14r> s/uning/using/
- 21:52 < finnarne> RalfG: I can go away, if that makes you feel better ?
- 21:52 < white> maybe someone is interested to contact thorsten (openldap maintainer) about that and talk to them?
- 21:52 < RalfG> no finnarne this wasn't meant in a bad way
- 21:53 < white> s/them/him/
- 21:53 < k4x> white: good idea
- 21:53 < C14r> white: So if you have the opinion to fix problems at the root then tehre should be a Debian policy conform way of installing and deinstall schemas!
- 21:53 < white> well it was a question who wants to contact thorsten?
- 21:53 < white> i am right busy with 3.0 development preparations
- 21:54 < k4x> white: i can contact him
- 21:54 < k4x> white: i will contact hin ;-)
- 21:54 < finnarne> k4x: Great
- 21:54 < k4x> s/hin/him/
- 21:54 < white> k4x: good, maybe he has a roadmap about the scheming stuff in debian
- 21:55 < k4x> white: lets continue
- 21:55 < white> last point
- 21:55 < white> to get a solution for 3.0 ready we need to get it into etch
- 21:55 < white> just beside
- 21:55 < k4x> white: ok, deadlines now!
- 21:55 < RalfG> unless we want to have our own repository like now
- 21:55 < white> etch will be frozen around this summer i guess, someone with the exact days?
- 21:56 < white> RalfG: which repository do you mean?
- 21:56 < finnarne> there was a mail to debian-devel@ the other day.
- 21:56 < white> RalfG: haven't we one?
- 21:56 < C14r> white: summer is very specific ...
- 21:56 < white> C14r: i guess july
- 21:56 < finnarne> N-117 = Mon 30 Jul 06: freeze essential toolchain, kernels
- 21:56 < finnarne> N-110 = Mon 7 Aug 06: freeze base, non-essential toolchain (including
- 21:56 < finnarne> e.g. cdbs)
- 21:56 < finnarne> N-105 = Mon 14 Aug 06: d-i RC [directly after base freeze]
- 21:56 < finnarne> N-45 = Wed 18 Oct 06: general freeze [about 2 months after base
- 21:56 < finnarne> freeze, d-i RC]
- 21:56 < finnarne> N = Mon 4 Dec 06: release [1.5 months for the general freeze]
- 21:56 < white> well it would cost me a lot of chocolate to talk to aba to get something else included :)
- 21:57 < RalfG> yep
- 21:57 < RalfG> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etch_(Debian)
- 21:57 < white> ok until etch
- 21:57 < RalfG> this leaves us 4 month
- 21:58 < white> you all know about the ArchivePolicy i guess and you know how to do things, just beside there shouldn't be any reason for other repositories
- 21:58 < finnarne> Does this mean that we have to have things done by August 7., or October 18. ?
- 21:58 < Werner> but not 4 months until uploading something into unstable..
- 21:58 < white> it should be uploaded 1 month before the freeze
- 21:59 < white> faster is better i guess
- 21:59 < RalfG> base freeze is Aug 7 I think. Oct 18 might be string freeze
- 21:59 < white> RalfG: i guess base freeze will affect us :(
- 21:59 < k4x> white: what does this mean? Give a date please!
- 22:00 < white> k4x: around 10 september i guess
- 22:00 < RalfG> white: I guess that it would be good to have the official package name up there anywhere
- 22:00 < white> one last point
- 22:00 < white> will we keep the "stable" package as we did with wlus? or will we use svn versions?
- 22:00 < RalfG> Mon 7 Aug 06: freeze base, non-essential toolchain (including e.g. cdbs)
- 22:00 < Werner> I believe uploading a new package into unstable a month before general freeze 10th of September is too late..
- 22:00 < white> i just want to collect it
- 22:00 < k4x> Werner: what is the date for last upload into unstable?
- 22:00 < white> Werner: yes might be
- 22:01 < white> k4x: well there is no *exact* date
- 22:01 < white> it depends on the package
- 22:01 < Werner> k4x: depends on the mumber of RC-bugs :)
- 22:01 < Werner> and the new queue processing..
- 22:01 < RalfG> usually it gets postponed by 1-6 months ;)
- 22:01 < Werner> and probably some other things as well..
- 22:01 < k4x> Werner: ok, openldap is it ready?
- 22:01 < white> what about the "stable" svn issue?
- 22:02 < white> i recommend to use svn version here as we have -test and stable pool
- 22:02 < white> k4x: openldap is buggy hehe
- 22:02 < Werner> http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/05/msg00000.html
- 22:02 < white> k4x: RC bug :)
- 22:02 < k4x> who knows about RC bugs in openldap?
- 22:02 < finnarne> well, the sarge release of debian-edu was full of svn-versions, and that should not happen again
- 22:02 < white> finnarne: there aare many open wlus bugs,which are fixed in svn
- 22:02 < white> anyway we can discuss this issue later on
- 22:03 < finnarne> white: i dont want to be responsible for letting a new wlus out.
- 22:03 < white> :)
- 22:03 < C14r> :) I would like to thank you all participiants
- 22:03 < white> ok the meeting is over now, you are invited to continue
- 22:03 < RalfG> can we settle donw on a URL in wiki where to collect schemes and further steps with deadlines?
- 22:03 < white> but this is the official end, thanks for all the information input on this first overview meeting
- 22:03 < k4x> i think openldap » scheme » CupUX or openldap » CipUx » adding scheme is the way
- 22:04 < white> k4x: is there *a* way in life?
- 22:04 < white> *justkidding*
- 22:05 < RalfG> ways are made by walking, as kafka said
- 22:05 < k4x> thanks to all! goog night
- 22:05 < white> RalfG: kafka was interesting
- 22:05 < finnarne> wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Ldap is created
- 22:05 < Werner> http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Admintool
- 22:06 * white goes back to contribution on 3.0 development
- 22:06 < C14r> http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/CipUX/
- 22:06 < Werner> should we gather everything under Admintool/... ?
- 22:06 < Werner> well .. probably not.
- 22:06 < RalfG> mh shouldn't his be more connected?
- 22:06 < finnarne> Werner: good idea
- 22:06 < RalfG> or under Ldap?
- 22:06 < finnarne> Werner: you were choosen to decide
- 22:06 < RalfG> AdminTool would be a better WIkiName
- 22:07 < finnarne> AdminTool is a good name, and then under there, there should be AdminTool/LdapSchemas
- 22:07 < RalfG> very well
- 22:07 < RalfG> Schemas or Schemes?
- 22:07 < RalfG> grammer?
- 22:07 < RalfG> e/a
- 22:08 < RalfG> or Schemata?
- 22:10 < RalfG> Maybe we also want to create a subpage /Team. You might want to use the TaskForceTeamTemplate ;)
- 22:10 < RalfG> white: of course the team page should have a link as well
- 22:11 < white> RalfG: i am looking forward to see you expanding the Team page ;)
