| shapr | greetings! | 17:03 |
|---|---|---|
| shapr | It looks like I'll be writing a series of small articles about Open Source in the European Union, and schooltool looks interesting. | 17:04 |
| shapr | I just installed the debian packages and set up my own simple school. | 17:05 |
| shapr | The features I've found so far are rosters, timetables, abscence checking, and resource scheduling. Is there more functionality I'm missing? | 17:06 |
| shapr | Also, what features are planned for the future? | 17:06 |
| shapr | I looked at the Schooltool bounty list, the scheduling via genetic algorithms bounty looks nifty. | 17:07 |
| shapr | anyone awake? | 17:08 |
| shapr | Also, there was a very motivational quote about schooltool in Mark Shuttleworth's EP2004 keynote, but I can't find an exact quote. | 17:09 |
| shapr | Something like "I toured the schools in South Africa relative organization was far more important than relative funding for the quality of education in a school" | 17:10 |
| *mgedmin is slightly awake | 17:16 | |
| -->alga (~alga@office.pov.lt) has joined #SchoolTool | 17:16 | |
| shapr | hiya albertas | 17:16 |
| mgedmin | shapr: I don't think you missed any features | 17:17 |
| gintas | hi shapr | 17:17 |
| mgedmin | perhaps calendaring deserves a mention on its own | 17:17 |
| shapr | right, true. iCal stuff is nifty. | 17:17 |
| gintas | did you get the latest debian package? | 17:18 |
| shapr | mgedmin: thanks for forwarding the tmda bounce to me. | 17:18 |
| gintas | we've released milestone 8 just a few days ago | 17:18 |
| shapr | I think so, I'm using debian/unstable, and I installed it last night from the local debian mirror. | 17:18 |
| gintas | I think that's a bit outdated | 17:18 |
| shapr | ah, I see. | 17:19 |
| shapr | milestone 6? | 17:19 |
| gintas | yep, really outdated | 17:19 |
| gintas | does it even have the web calendar interface? | 17:20 |
| shapr | where can I download the latest milestone? | 17:20 |
| gintas | www.schooltool.org I guess | 17:20 |
| gintas | just extract it somewhere and run it | 17:20 |
| gintas | hmm | 17:21 |
| shapr | schooltool.org mentions milestone 6 as the latest. | 17:21 |
| <--alga has quit (Client Quit) | 17:21 | |
| gintas | yeah... | 17:21 |
| gintas | you could check out the latest subversion stuff | 17:22 |
| shapr | I'm actually using 0.7.2 | 17:22 |
| gintas | got to go | 17:23 |
| shapr | ok, cya | 17:23 |
| <--gintas has quit (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out)) | 17:32 | |

| -->th1a (~hoffman@dsl093-119-225.blt1.dsl.speakeasy.net) has joined #schooltool | 19:13 | |
| shapr | hey th1a, are you the main website guy for schooltool.org ? | 19:14 |
| th1a | Yes. | 19:14 |
| th1a | Is it down? | 19:14 |
| shapr | No, but I think the latest milestone release isn't mentioned in the Downloads section. | 19:14 |
| th1a | I see what you mean. | 19:15 |
| -->bskahan (~bskahan@dsl093-119-225.blt1.dsl.speakeasy.net) has joined #schooltool | 19:16 | |
| th1a | Oh, actually, that's just a SchoolBell release, so it is under SchoolBell. | 19:16 |
| shapr | Oh, I see. | 19:16 |
| shapr | ok, my confusion :-) | 19:16 |
| th1a | The distinction will be more clear going forward. | 19:16 |
| shapr | What sort of future features are planned for schooltool? | 19:17 |
| shapr | Will it start dealing with online e-education? | 19:17 |
| shapr | Or is it just for school organization? | 19:17 |
| th1a | Not e-education. | 19:19 |
| shapr | Now that I think about it, I'm surprised there isn't a standard for distributed meeting request/confirm, and same for resource allocation. | 19:19 |
| th1a | Calendaring standards are a mess. | 19:19 |
| shapr | MS Exchange has had that for awhile (not that I would use MS) | 19:19 |
| shapr | I think that there are a few open source apps that can do distributed meetings/resources. | 19:19 |
| shapr | Just seems like a bunch of schooltool installations should be able to coordinate with each other. | 19:20 |
| shapr | I see schooltool is using both twisted and zope. Are you using the twisted distributed object broker as well? | 19:21 |
| shapr | If you are, then distributed schooltool instances probably can already coordinate. | 19:21 |
| mgedmin | no, we're not using that | 19:29 |
| pere | shapr: regarding meeting request/confirm. I believe evolution support this using iCalendar and IMAP. | 19:37 |
| shapr | yes, good point | 19:51 |
