| 10:11 Mrfai | It seems that the next ubuntu version will not include a newer FAI version. Noone is able (or has time) to work on this. That's a pitty. Hey Ubuntu FAI developers, it would be nice to change this situation. |
| 10:16 lazyb0y | hey, ubuntu company, it would be nice to sponsor someone working on this :) |
| 10:17 mgoetze | hey, ubuntu users, you're welcome to switch to debian ;) |
| 10:19 lazyb0y | but yeah, it woul be really nice to have this, and I have it on my list - but I don't run Ubuntu on servers, so it's not for me... |
| 10:20 lazyb0y | ... and so, there are some other things I need to work on for myself |
| 10:20 mgoetze | is the problem just that you can't run fai-server on ubuntu, or that newer ubuntu versions can't be installed nicely (from a debian server) |
| 10:22 Mrfai | the problem is that someone needs to test it, and it will take some time to run it as smooth as with Debian |
| 10:23 lazyb0y | mgoetze: when thomas talks about the package version in ubuntu, it's the former |
| 10:23 Mrfai | Yes, it would be nice to have a customer which likes to pay for the ubuntu port |
| 10:23 lazyb0y | and yes, both things take time. and that makes only sense when you use it yourself or see a business case. |
| 10:25 lazyb0y | yeah, customers. but ubuntu users like nice looking things, and fai doiesn't even have a logo, nor a professional looking website. so it's hard to sell them fai. |
| 10:30 sep | lazyb0y, ubuntu users go for bling ? :) |
| 10:31 oz_ | if someone can give me a hand a bit, I'd be willing to sacrifice a WE for this |
| 10:31 oz_ | I have it running at home |
| 10:31 oz_ | but I see no sense in running ubuntu servers |
| 10:32 h01ger | aint it to late for jaunty anyway? |
| 10:32 oz_ | to be honest: I think ubuntu server sucks, ubuntu desktop is nice. |
| 10:32 h01ger | (or whatever the next release is called) |
| 10:32 oz_ | think so, yes |
| 10:34 lazyb0y | sep: they do. and apart from them, it would not harm the fai image in any way if there would be a logo and nice web design - an old topic, but a good point to mention it again :) |
| 10:35 sep | lazyb0y, design and logo's is hard in the FOSS world. you need someone that can spot the difference in colour nuance between Red Green and blue |
| 10:37 h01ger | we have a very nice proposal for a website |
| 10:37 lazyb0y | we have very nice proposals for logos, too :) |
| 10:38 mgoetze | and where can these proposals be viewed? |
| 10:41 h01ger | wiki |
| 10:41 h01ger | search for logo |
| Action: oz_ would close down the website an only maintain the wiki |
| 10:44 oz_ | I still have the script for conversion. ;) |
| 11:05 Mrfai | oz_: the fai website is maintain, and up-to-date. The content in the wiki is not maintained, and a lot of pages are outdated. |
| 11:07 Mrfai | IMO outdated information is really disappointing for the users. |
| Action: h01ger btw is a very happy asciidoc user nowadays |
| 11:08 Mrfai | h01ger: fine. This is another reason to move to asciidoc in the future |
| Action: mgoetze really likes the online manpages for grml generated by asciidoc |

| 11:54 DarKnesS_WolF | hello i am installing a nice small ubuntu lab , here right now using fai but i need lettle help, the main idea of fai is installing from img ? or it can get the source from nfs over pxeboot and the configurations " like users / package selection / partining " from the 1st installed machine ? |
| 11:55 mgoetze | uhm, have you tried reading any of the documentation? |
| 11:56 DarKnesS_WolF | mgoetze: to be honest nop but i am looking around , did read the ubuntu " multi-distribution " one but didn not giv eme any good idea |
| 11:57 mgoetze | see first link in topic |
| 11:58 DarKnesS_WolF | k |
| 12:20 lazyb0y | Mrfai: wiki's are never totally accurate. but anyway, I am wqith you that a _website_ for a product is not the same as a _wiki_ - and both are needed. |
| 12:21 lazyb0y | but also, both look better when they have a nice design, and give potential users a good feeling. |
| 12:21 oz_ | ack ack |
| 12:21 oz_ | and one could define a set of pages which can only be changed by Admins |
