[18:08] <ericb2> metrokid: I remember you missed the previous meeting. Is Nelle around ?

[18:09] <metrokid> ericb2: I don't know, but I don't think so

[18:09] <ericb2> metrokid: we use to present ourselves, shortly

[18:09] <metrokid> ericb2: Ok!

[18:10] <metrokid> Hi ! My name is Jonathan Winandy, I am a student from Ecole Centrale de Nantes, and I am currently working with a group of student to stabilize an annotation feature in presenter.

[18:11] <ericb2> metrokid: welcome to you and your group :)

[18:11] <ericb2> metrokid: how long will be the task ?

[18:12] <ericb2> metrokid: said differently, how many weeks will you work on that ?

[18:13] <metrokid> ericb2: it's a 10 weeks long task

[18:13] * FabienD (n=fabien@mla78-1-82-240-16-110.fbx.proxad.net) has joined #education.openoffice.org

[18:14] <ericb2> metrokid: you are in the 2nd week, right ?

[18:14] <metrokid> ericb2: I don't know exactly when it should stop. Something like end of november, early december.

[18:14] <ericb2> metrokid: ok, noticed

[18:15] <metrokid> ericb2: I am not the one who is managing the schedule, sorry  ;-)

[18:16] <ericb2> metrokid: are other people of the group unable to join ? I'd like to meet them all, or at least have some contact with them

[18:16] * metrokid :-/ looking for a way to reach them all

[18:18] <ericb2> metrokid: ok.

[18:18] <ericb2> other new devs or students joining ?

[18:19] <ericb2> Next point : present the tools we use

[18:19] <ericb2> ?

[18:21] <ericb2> Ok, let's start

[18:22] <ericb2> in the tasks / projects we propose to the students

[18:22] <ericb2> there are several tools

[18:22] <ericb2> we'll try to present them, one after the other, soon

[18:24] <ericb2> the list is not that long : first diff and patch, gdb, dmake, and the last one : mercurial, aka hg

[18:24] <IZBot> News from mws: OOO320_m2 ready for use.

[18:25] <ericb2> for hg presentation, we are lucky : Heiner Rechtien, who did the migration svn toward hg, will present us a ClassRoom

[18:25] <metrokid> ericb2: today ?

[18:25] <ericb2> the date is not fixed, but this will very probably be a tuesday

[18:25] Matt1_ metrokid mmu_man

[18:26] <ericb2> metrokid: no :)

[18:26] <ericb2> for the other tools, we presented them already, but we'll redo

[18:26] <ericb2> as a ClassRoom too

[18:26] <ericb2> for the one discovering the concept, a ClassRoom is sort of course, around 20 to 30 minutes

[18:27] <ericb2> and questions, and practice (if time allows) at the end

[18:27] * metrokid will look for a classroom about gdb.

[18:28] * [BLUG]_Julien is now known as Julien_BLUG

[18:28] <Julien_BLUG> Are we still at the presentation phase?

[18:29] <ericb2> Julien_BLUG: no, but you can present you if you want :)

[18:29] <Julien_BLUG> quickly then

[18:30] <Julien_BLUG> Name is Julien, live in Beijing working for Dexxon China and I am managing OSS based educational solutions deployment in schools here. Regarding OOo, I am mostly interested in: 1. l10n in Chinese 2. MIPS port 3. GUI simplifications

[18:31] <ericb2> Julien_BLUG: be welcome too :)

[18:31] <Julien_BLUG> I do not code (or just some very small modifications) and OOo is way to complex for me but I can test, build and provide feedback

[18:31] <Julien_BLUG> ericb2, thank you

[18:32] <ericb2> Julien_BLUG: are you porting distributions to gdium too ? And wich one ?
