[10:59] <cloph> Hi *

[10:59] <chacha_chaudhry> cloph: hi

[10:59] <cloph> I uploaded my slides - link is on the agenda-page, or go straight to http://muenchen-surf.de/lohmaier/misc/

[10:59] * lgodard (n=lgodard@AGrenoble-152-1-65-106.w86-193.abo.wanadoo.fr) has joined #education.openoffice.org

[10:59] <ericb2> cloph: FYI, vincent vikram informed me there is a firewall, and some of his students will read the log afterwards

[10:59] <cloph> Not many people here yet... :-) but getting more apparently...

[11:00] <ericb2> cloph: and they will ask using mail or mailing lists

[11:00] <ericb2> cloph: even IRC is difficult at some places

[11:00] <chacha_chaudhry> cloph: yes it is ... at some universities

[11:02] <cloph> Just shout "Go" when I should start/when you got the slides :-)

[11:03] <ericb2> cloph: thanks for your slides

[11:03] <ericb2> as .pdf : http://muenchen-surf.de/lohmaier/misc/All_about_Tinderbox.pdf

[11:03] <ericb2> as .odp : http://muenchen-surf.de/lohmaier/misc/All_about_Tinderbox.odp

[11:03] <ericb2> cloph: we are ready :) you can start when you want

[11:03] <chacha_chaudhry> cloph: Go

[11:03] <chacha_chaudhry> :)

[11:04] <cloph> OK then - as you already read the agenda, you know what this talk is about: Tinderbox :-)

[11:05] <cloph> You can see how the talk will proceed on the contents slide - but as you can read faster than I can type, I'll not read it to you :-) <flip/>

[11:05] <cloph> If you have questions in the meantime, don't hesitate to interrupt me, feel free to ask without rising your hand first

[11:06] <cloph> The question: "What is tinderbox?" can be answered fairly easily: It is a system that collects build stati from various sources and displays those in a hopefully clear and eady to understand way.

[11:07] <cloph> This is the basic task that tinderbox has. To reach that goal, it has other features, like integration with bonsai (or other tools).

[11:07] <chacha_chaudhry> sources means ? -- various platforms or OS?

[11:07] <cloph> In that case it means both.

[11:08] <cloph> There are multiple clients that build the code, those clients run on different OS/Platforms, have a different build-setup and build different cws

[11:09] <cloph> So while there might be two builders that run linux, one can use Sun's JDK, the other can use gcj, or one can use gcc 3.4, the other gcc 4.3 - that sometimes can make a big difference.

[11:10] <cloph> For those who don't know what bonsai is: Bonsai is a tool that collects commit-information, it is a more advanced "CVS viewer" - it allows you to query for commits in a given period of time, or associated with a specific tag or file.

[11:10] * ericb2 suggests to read : http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Education_ClassRoom/Practice#Bonsai_use

[11:11] <cloph> Not OOo developed tinderbox, it merely modified Mozilla's tinderbox2 (rather slightly modifications only). Mozilla is a great project when it comes to such stuff (think of Bugzilla and stuff)

[11:11] <cloph> Ah, great :-)
