Previous Education Meetings logs/October 2009/22nd October

[18:00] <ericb2> Meeting time ? [18:01] <Kamots> so if there's a problem that they had a tough time figuring out, it would be nice to have it documented (unless they do it on their blog) [18:02] <ericb2> Kamots: that's a true problem : lot of people from Seneca post on blogs, and do not keep us informed. And some do a great job, we discover randomly .. [18:02] <ericb2> Kamots: and since Sun does the proxy with Seneca, we have no news [18:02] <ericb2> Twarz: thanks, got you rmail :) [18:03] <ericb2> Ok, let's start the meeting ?

[18:12] <Charitha> Im not using OpenOffice.org wiki [18:12] <Charitha> how can I show you my plan then? [18:13] <ericb2> Charitha: yes sure. Can we do that in misc ? ( point 4 if I'm not wrong) [18:15] <Charitha> up to now we have written our document [18:15] <Charitha> not done anything realated to coding [18:16] ChanServ Charitha [18:16] <ericb2> Charitha: but you are not in a hurry, are you ? [18:16] ChanServ Charitha [18:17] <Charitha> From next week we are supposed to start the real implementation of our programme [18:17] <Charitha> therefore in a bit hurry [18:18] <ericb2> Charitha: I think the code should not be that big to write [18:18] <ericb2> Charitha: and you'll inish in time [18:19] * FabienD (n=fabien@mla78-1-82-240-16-110.fbx.proxad.net) has joined #education.openoffice.org [18:19] ChanServ Charitha [18:19] <Charitha> the issue is that I have to do this project along with the other projects and studies in the university [18:19] <Charitha> yes Im hoping to finish it on time [18:19] <ericb2> Charitha: that's the hard student way of life :) [18:19] <Charitha> :) [18:20] <ericb2> anybody new in the project, and who would like to present himself ? [18:22] <ericb2> ok, let's start with Point 2. (to be confirmed) ClassRooms list [18:23] <ericb2> About mercurial : I don't have Heiner Rechtien answer, because he's awfully busy. So I'll announce the ClassRoom on te list and on my blog once defined [18:23] <ericb2> the most probable day should be a wednesday. Else it will be later (around 26th nov)

[18:23] <ericb2> IMPORTANT: any suggestion for a ClassRoom ?

[18:26] * ericb2 wondering why people do not participate more

[18:28] * thorsten proposes one about the OOo Eclipse integration, and looks to cbosdonnat as the expert resource here ;)

[18:28] <Twarz> Maybe a classroom about gdb ? It might be useful for newcomers that maybe aren't familiar with debugging

[18:28] <Kamots> sorry, this is during class for me. but i am paying attention to everyone

[18:28] <ericb2> Twarz: yes, good idea

[18:29] <ericb2> Twarz: what about start together with a workout , exchanging tips, and whatever, and providing a ClassRoom together for the other at meeting hour ?

[18:29] <cbosdonnat> thorsten, what do you mean? a classroom on developing the ooeclipse or using it ?

[18:29] <thorsten> using it! :)

[18:29] <thorsten> or, whatever you feel is worth talking about ;)

[18:30] <Twarz> ericb2, sure, I'm sure I can help, I've been practicing a lot since during those 4 monthes

[18:30] <Twarz> -since

[18:30] <ericb2> Twarz: ok, you got hired :)

[18:30] <cbosdonnat> thorsten, why not :)

[18:30] <thorsten> cbosdonnat: speaking of gdb - did we have that gdbinit of ours at a public place?

[18:30] <Twarz> great :)

[18:30] <cbosdonnat> yes

[18:31] * thorsten is hopelessly un-informed

[18:33] <ericb2> ok, then let's propose a short plan, in disorder  : mercurial (Heiner Rechtien) , OOo source code discovery, organisation and build model + important links on the wiki , then gdb (and how to proceed for debugging OOo) and one fourth one about Eclipse use ?
