Folks, there was a question on the list about qualification criteria. 
Would please someone comment on this? Is more than one local contact

Hi Marcus

thanks for hearing of you and for the offer. You may know that I've been 
part at the installation events at the ETH and accompagning sessions. It 
is a valuable experience to learn how many students are seeking better 
solutions for their working environment - compared to mainstream. Many 
of them are using used blade - and are conscious why they are doing so. 
Nice, isn't it?


I'd appreciate you joining the encounter as scheduled.

Dani

Zurich would be easier for me but I can make Bern work as well.

Hello Philipp

I remember the event. And lots of further contributions by puzzle which 
I highly estimate. Thank you very much.


Thanks also for this offer. And the idea about involving corporates to 
the event.


Since we recognize that GNU/Linux is on most mobile phones (not at its 
best), as basement of the internet, as underlying system of more than 
80% of all web presence, in the cloud, even on Azure - we should 
continue to make end users aware of the beauty, of freedom, of 
independence, of choice when it comes to desktop and laptop use.


And - as you mentioned below - we may invite and address developers. 
There are so many tools, debuggers, development environments - free of 
charge, free of registration, available at some fingertips.


Please schedule - tentatively - the 26th of january at your site. We'll 
keep you informed.


Dani

Hi all,

Puzzle ITC https://www.puzzle.ch is interested in hosting a Release 
Party in Bern and helping with the organisation. We would also offer 
some snacks and beer.

The release day, April 26 is a Thursday and would be suitable for a party.

10 Years ago we hosted a Ubuntu Release Party: 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SwissTeam/ReleasePartyGutsy 
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SwissTeam/ReleasePartyGutsy>
This year we moved to a new location with a nice Piazza, where we are

I would to invite some other corporate users of Ubuntu to the event. 
This could help to revive the community with professional users.
Perhaps the focus could extend/shift to the usage of Ubuntu as a 
development environment and server OS in IT.


We could also meet on January 26 in Bern at our location.

Hi list,

I'd like to start thinking about organising a "release party" for
18.04 "Bionic Beaver" as it's the next LTS and is the next big date
for Ubuntu.

Hopefully that will allow us to meet again in person since it seems
that doesn't happen very often anymore these days. I think more than 4
months should be enough to find something a majority agrees to.

As a strawman, I suggest meeting somewhere in Bern (it's relatively central).

Here's a wiki page for the event:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SwissTeam/ReleaseParty18.04

Feel free to contribute!

If other people are interested, we could meet before that as well (a
beer on a Friday or something would be nice).

Hello

I agree, this cleanup is important. I frequently do support - and people 
told, they had tried to contact other people on the list before who were 
not available or did not reply. If we can trust the list, we can 
reliably forward support inquiries to the person most suitable / closest

I would rethink this "cleanup".


What is a contact worth, if he/she does not react or is unavailable?

Better have 10 ppl in the list who can really act as contact person, 
then 100 where 90 are inactive.


Besides that, we lose nothing. This is a wiki and all revisions are

Re: [Ubuntu-ch] Kubuntu Swiss-french keys

2011-08-22 Thread Daniel Stoni


Hello Pablo

welcome on the list and thanks for the interesting piece of inquiry.

Since I recently gave support to spanish speaking people (latin america)
I try to give you some hints. But you might know already: my
recommendation is to use spanish layout - in particular as many
characters you need for french typing are a subset of the spanish charset.
If you are able to type blindly this is OK anyway. Otherwise you might
either use a desktop keyboard or stickers to pick onto the keyboard.

As an alternative, you might also like to deal with multiple keyboard
settings - through keyboard shortcut, you may switch between the
keyboard layouts configured, depending on the language you are using.

Regards, Dani

Re: [Ubuntu-ch] Ubuntu CH on Facebook

2011-03-19 Thread Daniel Stoni

Hoi Philipp

And Big Hello to all of you who joined the discussion, who gave feedback
and who shared their ideas so far.

It is great to feel your engagement and interest. We have power and the
potential to do more for Ubuntu in Switzerland. Nice, isn't it?

For the moment I shortly comment the facebook part. Viewed from distance
I recognize the importance of having presence on facebook, possibly on
other new media, too. It's great that people familiar with it took the
initiative to incorporate the page and who will likely fill the facebook
affiliate of ubuntu-ch with life ;-). Opening a Xing precense would be a
possible next step, no?

I'm also one of these guys working with 'old' channels. Even older
channels: I prefer meeting physically and talking. This brings me to one
crucial strength of this group: together, we are able to maintain any
channel from press, companies, schools, communities, old & new media. We
have tremendous skill - organizational, technical, other - on board and
we have a common interest, that faciliates internal communication.

That's cool. Thinking about our options and what we might achieve is
exciting. Let's continue the discussion and see what evolves ...

Have a nice weekend

[Ubuntu-ch] Fwd: Re: Legal Status questions

2011-03-16 Thread Daniel Stoni


Hello all / Grüezi mitenand (Übersetzung unten)

EN: as noted in the posting [1], the topic keeps popping up from time to
time. Here we are. Again.

I'm now very serious about strengthening our community in Switzerland by
acquiring a legal status, by having a banking account for the community
and by establishing representative contacts to 'world'. Recently,
several people have asked for another effort and as I agreed, you find
here the refresh of the original request.

Please note some explanations:

- there is some money gathered through SwissRemix activities which
belong to the community (>300 CHF)
- in case we decide to continue the work for another SwissRemix, it
looks as if we have to handle any upcoming activities by ourselves,
including fundraising and financials. Currently, there is no support of
any other swiss organization for this project.
- there is a real chance of acquiring more funds in order to support
activities by the swiss loco team (I wish we had access to a lot of
merchandising stuff ...)
- we might decide to organize a larger event 'open for the public'
(Release Party, other) in autumn 2011 which would demand sufficient base
and clear responsibilities.
- Canonical is about strengthening it's presence and activities in the
german speaking countries, there are new partnership models coming along
and we have established contact with some representatives. Although
focus is on business relationships, I keep emphasizing the importance of
the community and accompagning chances to have joint activities.
- we've observed different movements and engagements for Ubuntu which
should be coordinated

Some of us will meet at the Global Jam Event in Zurich. This would be a
good occasion to discuss this further. People interested would please
raise their hands. Just follow the discussion on the list to stay
informed about this activity.

Kind regards, dsto

***

DE: wie bereits im Kommentar [1] vermerkt: Das Thema poppt immer wieder
auf. So auch jetzt.

Ich halte es wirklich für nötig, unsere Community in der Schweiz zu
stärken. Sie soll einen rechtlichen Status erhalten, die Führung eines
Bankkontos ermöglichen und klar die verantwortlichen Menschen gegenüber
der Aussenwelt bezeichnen. Verschiedene Mitglieder und Beobachter haben
diesbezüglich schon Initiative ergriffen und so findet Ihr hiermit den
aufgewärmten Vorstoss. 

Dazu:

- aus den Aktivitäten von SwissRemix gibt es Cash, welcher der Community
gehört (etwas über 300 CHF)
- falls wir die Aktivitäten SwissRemix weiterführen möchten, so scheint
es, dass wir auf uns selbst gestellt sind, auch was die Finanzierung und
Abwicklung des Projekts betrifft. Derzeit erhalten wir von keiner
Schweizer Organisation irgendwelchen Support.
- Wir glauben, dass wir mit einem Verein Aussicht auf Unterstützung
unserer übrigen Aktivitäten erhalten können (gerne hätte ich z.B.
Zugriff auf tolles Merchandising Material ...)
- Wir könnten 'etwas grösseres' Stemmen, z.B. einen netten Event im
Herbst für ein grösseres Publikum (Release Party, sonst was) - das
erfordert aber auch eine solide Basis und klare Verantwortlichkeiten.
- Canonical ist gerade dran, Boden in den Ländern gut zu machen. Es gibt
neue Partnerschaftsmodelle und wir sind mit zuständigen Leuten in
Kontakt. Fokus ist schon auf der Business Seite, wir betonen aber
jeweils die Bedeutung der Community Arbeit im Land und die
Möglichkeiten. Es besteht also Aussicht, die Zusammenarbeit zu
institutionalisieren.
- auch gibt es verschiedene Initiativen und Bewegungen zur Unterstützung
von Ubuntu - wir sollten diese koordinieren.

Einige von uns werden sich am Global Jam in Zürich treffen. Wäre eine
tolle Gelegenheit, sich konkreter mit dem Thema zu befassen.
Interessenten bitte melden. Näheres folgt auf dieser Mailingliste.

Gruss, dsto

Hello all,

as discussed in IRC this week, I have forwarded Trib's request to
/ch/open also.

On the other side, having a proper legal status on our own (ubuntu-ch)
would be really useful. Founding a  formal non-profit association (Legal
Status: 'Verein') is not a big deal and would make sense in many regards:
- have determined structure/organization/decision making,
- ease communication with business contacts,
- pay expense, accept donations & do investments for useful things.
Can we have a discussion on this? a vote? Are there experienced people
on the list? Or is there anything in place I'm not aware of?

Hello all

some of you already know - there is a nice broker of used systems
located in Mels SG, near Sargans.

   http://www.benno-shop.ch

In the past, I've purchased systems for own use and to install at
customers sites. I have pointed a lot of people to Benno Shop. We all
are were very delighted with the material and the service provided.

Benno Shop is having a Christmas Event on Saturday, Dec 18. Since he is
an Ubuntu aficionado, he offered us to use his event as promotion
platform. I will be there for sure and hope to meet further Ubuntu
admirers and specialists to talk about our beloved software system and
to have a first glance at the upcoming swiss remix.

Looking forward to seeing you.

Kind regards, Daniel Stoni

[Ubuntu-ch] Ordering PCs w/o OS

2010-12-16 Thread Daniel Stoni


Hello Swiss Ubuntu Fans

This is to inform you about a growing number of PC dealers and PC
manufacturers offering PCs or laptops without redmont-style preloads but
equipped with FreeDOS or Linux.

First of all I'd like to point to the list at FreieComputer (list is on
the german page only)
   http://www.freiecomputer.ch

Then there is Lincomp:
   http://www.lincomp.ch/shop/

In addition, there is a number of interesting options by
Maxdata/Belinea: PCs that can be ordered without Operating System or
with Ubuntu AND at a considerable price advantage.
   http://www.maxdata.ch/produkte/computer-standard/computer-maxdata.html

As mentioned earlier, there are good quality Used-PCs from Benno Shop.
They can be ordered w/o OS or with Ubuntu preinstalled
   http://www.benno-shop.ch

I'm also aware of Tell IT selling and installing used and new Lenovo
Laptops on request.
   http://www.tell-it.ch

If there are further shops worth mentioning, we should add all of them
to our wiki page. Is there any volunteer in the group willing to
maintain the list?

Any submissions welcome.

Kind regards/dsto

[Ubuntu-ch] SwissRemix: Call for Artwork

2010-11-30 Thread Daniel Stoni


Hello all

This is another request for the upcoming Ubuntu SwissRemix.

The SwissRemix includes much more software than a regular Ubuntu. A DVD 
is required to contain all the material selected. Yet there is room left 
which we used to fill up with extra material (Windows Programs, Texts, 
Movies).

There is this idea to fill the new DVD with Swiss Knowledge & Artwork, 
published under a free license. People interested may send links to 
their material via ML or directly to i...@teamubuntu.ch by end of this 
week. We will scan the material provided and decide what to include.

Artwork of Interest
- Wallpapers (to be transferred to the installations, material should be 
scaled and ready for use)
- Short Videos, Fotos, Drawings (only on DVD, /extras, open media 
formats preferred)
- Free Music (on DVD, /extras, oggs/mp3 preferred)
- Free Texts (on DVD, /extras, pdf/txt/odf preferred)
- Sound Themes (to be transferred to the installation)
Please ensure there is clear indication of the license attached to the 
work submitted.

Links to swiss websites containing material valuable for users of our 
free software desktop are welcome, too. (community sites, free media 
portals, other useful links and information sources)

Thank you for your contributions, kind regards, /dsto

Hello Myriam

Thanks for having shared your thoughts. I understand your concerns and I 
also wish to avoid having divisions. On the other side I appreciate the 
work done by people enthusiastic about Ubuntu who help to spread the 
message. There should be no flaming just because existing defined 
procedures haven't been followed - but of course we have to fix any 
issues soon. I don't mind if it is the list or the physical meeting.

Folks, would you mind to postpone the discussion to take place during a real
meeting? Next RP would be a good occasion ...


Which I can't attend, sorry. A bit very far away for me in my current
situation. So, weather you like it or not, this discussion is going to
happen on this very mailing list, as uncomfortable it might seem to
you. As far as I am concerned, all those subscribed to the mailing
list are team members, shifting the discussion to a party that most
people don't even know about or can't attend is excluding.

We used to have meetings on IRC, where we should normally coordinate
the work, and on the mailing list. Expecting people from all
Switzerland to flock to Winterthur, which, at least for those from the
Tessin and the Suisse Romande, is not exactly near or by any means
central, is a bit much, Especially for a release party that is still
not to be found on our wiki, nor have I seen any ads for it go to
other Swiss Free Software groups. So that RP you are talking about is
a local party by local people, but certainly not an official Release
Party by the Swiss Team, since the team has only been contacted once
by mail and nobody bothered to use the official media to do the
organisation, despite my explicit demand to do so.. But I guess it was
too much to ask for people who don't give a damn that there are people
not speaking German in this country...

Which reminded me only about that old discussion we had a few years
back where people were complaining that not everything was in German,
because of one single person not speaking English. I have spend 3 full
days preparing ALL the wiki pages for the portal in FOUR languages,
everything was posted to the mailing list, all the wiki pages are
there, NOBODY did ANYTHING since to make this work. Funnily enough the
same people who complained then are the ones organizing that party,
but by carefully avoiding to include the team. That's what I call
dividing. Now think about...

Just to remind you: The Ubuntu Swiss Team is an official LoCo Team of
the Ubuntu Community, with a wiki, a mailing list and an IRC channel.
There are no other official channels in my eyes, nor are there in the
eyes of the rest of the Ubuntu community or the LoCo council, so
whatever is done elsewhere and not notified to any of these
communication channels is not official at all. period. We aka the
founding members of this team have worked hard to bring it where it is
and make this a recognized official LoCo Team, and I very much hope
the following leaders will work in the Ubuntu spirit as well. But by
doing that outside of the Team is certainly not the best way to start
with...


Regards, Myriam.

PS. May I point you to the current discussion on the LoCo-contacts
mailing list? All team leaders of the official teams will not only
have to sign the CoC, but also the LCoC. So think twice before doing
things without including the team in the discussion, there are not
many ways to do it right, but certainly a lot more ways to do it
wrong.

PPS. For digest subscribers, would you please read the digest mails
correctly and change the subject line to avoid breaking the thread, as
advised in the digest mail header? Thank you.

some real work done. But with that much help of a totally uninterested
community where people are more concerned about why the Swiss Team
doesn't speak German only, no wonder nothing substantial comes out of
it. Team leading is about getting a team together and working
together, not about dividing. The typical Swiss "Nabelschau", as
usual. I seriously give up on that country where everybody is only
interested about themselves and don't consider others. Remember what
Ubuntu actually means? Well, that is something a lot of the people who
pretend to be Ubunteros still have to learn apparently.

I do worry very much, since dividing a group for the simple purpose of
language is very bad. We are an official team, but with nobody doing
the work I did apparently you can as well bury the whole group. I have
yet to see real community work done...

As cool as you might find that website, it is dividing again, this is
now about the 5th website for Swiss Ubuntu users (and I am sure I
missed a few), while only one is the official one, and that is
certainly not ubunteros.ch. Might be less cool in your eyes, but
that's how it is, and official teams have official names. Either stick
to it or dissolve the team . If you people are not interested in doing
real community work but prefer to continue play in your remote corners
without a look at the whole picture, you are of course free to do so.
But then please stop pretending that there is a Swiss Team...


Regards, Myriam.

Re: [Ubuntu-ch] Ubuntu bad for Scribus?

2010-02-26 Thread Daniel Stoni

 

Hello Theo

two comments only:

many people recommend LTS versions for business use. I assess the situation
- and usually recommend to use current or last instead because LTS would be
bad for Ubuntu ;-) 

Since at least Jaunty there is a package called scribus-ng with a more
recent version of scribus. This is the edition chosen by default in the
SwissRemix. You might have a look if there is scribus-ng in Hardy also.

Kind regards

Dani

Re: [Ubuntu-ch] Release Candidate: SwissRemix for Karmic Koala

Hello Theo
Readme / Doc is the remaining part of the DVD, it looks all other open
items are now under control. The difficulty is: we have much to tell to
end users to explain the particularity of the free software world - but
we know that what we write is hardly ever read. Maybe I move the bigger
portions of the text to the ubuntu wiki.

[Ubuntu-ch] Release Candidate: SwissRemix for Karmic Koala

2010-02-15 Thread Daniel Stoni


Hello Swiss Ubuntu Community

you find a release candidate of the new DVD image here:
http://www.teamubuntu.ch/pub/9.10-desktop+swiss-remix/

Please have a look at it and send feedback until Friday, 19.2.2008, to
b...@teamubuntu.ch

## Softwareselection

* again, considerable time was spent for selecting most useful software.
One goal was to build a system, that has as much software as possible to
meet end-users everyday needs. The other goal was to include XFCE and
KDE desktops for demo & testing plus a bunch of educational software.
Please tell us your own favourites and recommendations of missing tools.
* the DVD now includes a text (alternate) installer. It is the original
edition of ubuntu w/o any updates.
* as there is less room left for extras, most videos were removed.
* the detailed list of additions to Ubuntu is stored with the ISO image
on the web.

## Testing

* I'm in particular interested in experience and hints on Windows 7 dual
boot machines? Is there any advice that should go into Readme.html?
* Any Intel Macs around? Question: Do we need refit and other efi/gpt
tools on the disc?
* postinstall script is a dirty procedure, anyone able to do this in a
nice way? Has anyone an idea if the firmware download is useful at all?
* you might nominate components from main/restricted/univers/multiverse
to be included in order to have support for particular popular hardware
* Do you suffer from odd behaviour or software bugs for which you
believe we need to implement a workaround in the SwissEdition?
* We have neither ATI nor nvidia graphics. Swissremix comes with free
graphics drivers which should run properly. I would like to document any
oddities you may find when applying proprietary drivers.

## Documentation

The german text of Readme.html is a complete rewrite. The update of the
english translation is in progress and will be available for the final
edition. Are there any helpers for a french and italian edition? You
might translate freely and also shorten the text as you like - as long
as the text is well readable by 'your' users.

Credits.html is also work in progress and will include the sponsor logos
in the final versions.

If you have valuable links to online help resources and ubuntu books for
beginners in de/it/en/fr, please send us a link.
 
Thank you for your help, kind regards, Daniel Stoni

Re: [Ubuntu-ch] OpenExpo Booth

2010-02-12 Thread Daniel Stoni


Hello Philippe

it is our pleasure to welcome you at the ubuntu booth. Too bad there is
no installation zone. Please note:

Concept has changed. Appearently, there is no table but a Bar and ONE
chair for either guests or yourself. Guest is supposed to be a business
customer. This leads us towards a new way of operation:
# if there is a person interested in Ubuntu, one should sit together
with the person somewhere else or in the restaurant to show Ubuntu or
some presentation material.
# The person at the booth should have mobile numbers and availability
information of people offering help, advice & information about Ubuntu
# As people show up at the booth being interested in a some talks, they
should be picked up by a 'helper'
# more directions to follow, maybe we should determine an additional
meeting spot for the ubuntu community
# I suggest to have Erwin taking the lead. If he feels comfortable ...

Kind regards, Dani

[Ubuntu-ch] Ubuntu in the News

2010-01-14 Thread Daniel Stoni


Hello all

you might want to have a look at today's press. WOZ has published a full
one-pager about Open Source in Switzerland and Ubuntu. During their
investigations, they have contacted Markus, Myriam and me.

Link to the article:
http://www.woz.ch/artikel/2010/nr02/wirtschaft/18808.html  (in german)

I explained and shared a lot of information - and there was not enough
room for everything ;-) So I decided to publish some additional insight
and some of my lessons learned:

http://www.stoni.ch/cms/de/node/92   (also in german, I'm afraid)

I want to emphasize the importance of media relations for us. People are
so much influenced by advertisements and marketing campaigns of the
shiny world 'there', that they easily miss the value of a full featured
and fully legal open source software system - be it Ubuntu or something
comparable.

As a matter of fact, we don't have the power to compete with commercial
giants. We neither have ambitions towards that direction because it's
our believe that people should have the freedom of choice. But in order
to reach the end user, we have to make use of the options to spread our
message in an efficient way.

When you encounter press activity about Ubuntu or if you carry along
some nice ideas for media related work, please share it here or on the
/Ideas page in the wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SwissTeam/Ideas

Best regards, Daniel Stoni

[Ubuntu-ch] Help needed to improve Ubuntu

2010-01-06 Thread Daniel Stoni


Hello all

As you might know we have this nasty behaviour on SwissRemix with the
Keyboard Default Settings. It is easily possible to select Swiss German
or Swiss French Keyboard in the boot menu and to choose the language
preferred. But not as default.

The origin of this is in gfxboot-theme, which works with some input
files and accepts a few parameters:  language packs, default language.
ch is not an option, yet.

My question now: Is there anyone in Switzerland with capacity and
knowledge to work with the gfxboot team to make this functionality
available for us? It might be just a matter of a small hack. I can give
guidance to ease development and testing, but I have no knowledge of
perl which seems to be the language in use.

You may find more details about the expected behaviour in Launchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/uck/+bug/497804

If you can help, please send a short reply and subscribe to the bug.

Thank you very much, kind regards, Dani

Re: [Ubuntu-ch] Linux Install Event Experience

2009-11-03 Thread Daniel Stoni


Hello Stephen

thank you for the feedback. We were following similar approach but had
to give up investigations towards that direction early in development.

there are planned options for swissremix:
- structure & content of the dvd remains the same more or less
- if there is anyone around who knows how to achieve desktop selection
at boot time we will implement it. The chain of gfxboot menu,
preseeding, kernel variables handling and ubiquity behaviour is not
quite easy to manage while maintaining one installation source and the
current strengths at the same time.
- menu options useless on certain desktop variants should be hidden
- users can extend an original ubuntu installation with swissremix ppa
- if they do, they can select groups of suggested packages for installation

Please send further ideas and observations to b...@teamubuntu.ch

Kind regards, dsto

Re: [Ubuntu-ch] Problems with USB-Sticks and Swiss Remix

2009-10-26 Thread Daniel Stoni


Hello Theo
dear colleagues

I did some further investigations in order to respond to your inquiry
and due personal interest - you might remember the discussion at the
event "OSS an Schulen" and the concepts & architectures sketched.

The Ubuntu installed on a stick 'somewhere' (very old PC) could easily
be used when attached to various systems (very modern Laptops, for
example). Sound, compositing effects, WLAN do work right away.

BUT: on all systems tested, performance compared to booting from
internal harddisks is considerably degraded. You should carefully study
data transfer rates of the stick in use as this becomes crucial. Due to
these base conditions you might also question the solution proposed to
your friend - is it worth to waste about 30-50% of a machine's
performance for the sake of the mobile-system-on-a-stick? What about
having only /home/ on the stick?

In practise one must understand that there are different ways how usb
sticks are driven by the BIOS. There is not the level of reliability
comparable to usb disks. The combination of PC and stick does matter.
Occasionally, sticks are recognized as CDROMs instead of as harddisks.
It can depend also on the way how they the sticks are partitioned. Then
I've heard of suspend/resume not working.
>From own testing - with original 9.04 - I can confirm that installation
from CD onto the stick seems shaky (on a 4 year old PC) and,
interesting, very time consuming.

OSes have much developed since. One remaining area of concern is
/etc/X11/xorg.conf - in case you find one on the stick you might want to
remove it in order to force video detection. Other recent hardware -
sound or networking equipment in particular - is recognized during boot
process and very few specific settings are made during installation. In
short: The chances are good to find this working. I will do some tests
on my own and collect some stories from the web. I'll let you the results.

[Ubuntu-ch] Ubuntu 9.04 SwissRemix d-f-i-e [OT KDE]

2009-08-29 Thread Daniel Stoni


Hello all

Please note this information about SwissRemix.

- so far, we have about 3000 downloads - 80% from Switzerland and almost
20% from Germany
- some people did regret there was no 64-bit edition. Since yesterday,
we have a 64-bit flavour available for download. Please note: the shrink
wrapped, printed, pressed DVDs will be 32-bit only.
- although it is nice having DVDs, I suggest to load the ISO image onto
a 4GB USB Stick with USB Creator. It is much faster anyway and suitable
for most modern systems including laptops/netbooks without optical drive.

Have a nice weekend, best regards, dsto

[Ubuntu-ch] Ubuntu 9.04 SwissRemix d-f-i-e

2009-07-14 Thread Daniel Stoni


Hello Ubuntu Team

As we had to apply major changes after the last announcement, it took a
while to make this build ready. Thanks for your patience.

There is now the second release candidate of Ubuntu 9.04 SwissRemix
d-f-i-e ready for testing. Unless you find severe bugs, this is the
edition to be used for the DVD Master by July 25.

The ISO of current Build 11 can be downloaded:

http://www.teamubuntu.ch/pub/9.04-desktop+swiss-remix/

The SwissRemix
- brings Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu desktops on one media (DVD)
- contains current fixes and language files for d/f/i/e
- is fine for demonstration AND installation
- carries additional free media - documentation, audio, movies
- contains a lot of education material and a selection of games
- contains additional productivity tools and internet utilities
- offers a larger choice of multimedia tools and codecs
- has a set of (command line) tools included for professionals
- works as live CD - also in virtual systems
- and can used as source for live USB Sticks

The SwissRemix is not
- a lean Ubuntu setup! Please reserve more than 6 GB harddrive space.


Apart from this, Ubuntu SwissRemix is a nice example how
organisations/schools/companies may customize an own Remix with Ubuntu
Customization Kit.

One major goal of the SwissRemix was to bundle what we blieve to be
useful on most user PCs. It should set a standard when comparing with
other platforms urging users to gather tools, drivers and software from
many different sources. To meet this goal, many community members have
already contributed their lists of favourite tools and 'must-haves',
thanks a lot.

Please let me know if you find any precious piece of software missing
from the Remix!

I hope you have time to spend for another testing of 'our' Remix and
report your observations before July 20.

Best regards, dsto

[Ubuntu-ch] Certificed Ubuntu Professionals

2009-06-14 Thread Daniel Stoni


Hello Swiss Ubuntu Community

I'm working with an education company based in Zurich which is
interested in providing Ubuntu Certification workshops (test on top of
LPI). I personally like the idea - having certifications and certified
professionals available seems to make products more accepted in the market.

Do we already have any Certified Ubuntu Professionals in Switzerland?
Anyone of those available, interested and experienced in teaching? Which
is currently the preferred documentation (english / german) to be used?

In case of interest, please send mail to d...@stoni.ch with your short
BIO, or link to your launchpad/linkedin/xing profile, and some reference
how you can be contacted by phone.

Have fun, take care, regards

[Ubuntu-ch] [Fwd: Re: Ubuntu 9.04 SwissRemix RC]]

2009-06-06 Thread Daniel Stoni

Hello Hassan

OK, thank you for the interest, feedback and offer.

I'm getting in touch with Linalis in order to include their graphics.
But I won't activate - SwissRemix uses standard Jaunty look & feel. It
was nasty work anyway to reset it after kubuntu & xubuntu stuff was
installed - FYI: /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom has two entries to be adjusted:
> GraphicalTheme=Human
> GraphicalThemes=Human

I'm quite happy with other default settings, the combination of language
chooser at gfxboot and timezone preseeding allows nice defaulting of
ubiquity values, saving many mouseclicks at installation time.
One piece of resistence remains: default keyboard is german. If I switch
to ch, default language on the surface turns to english. Need to further
study the logic of gfxboot in use and possibly initiate a change request...

Regards, Dani

Your mail was only for me and Tormod is it right?. Did you forgot to

Thanks Tormod for the explanation.

Daniel, You have right, I think it should be really enough. We'll
provide to the users Ubuntu but remixed for Switzerland. So let's keep
keep everything like is it. And just add more info in our documentation.


What did you decide about (GDM/Gnome/Gfxboot/Timezone)?

P.S: Sorry Daniel, I don't get any time to test the DVD, since I'm back
from the UDS I have a lot to do at work. If some translation is needed
from German to French let me know. I will ask our secretary to do it for
us ;)

[Ubuntu-ch] Ubuntu 9.04 SwissRemix RC]

2009-06-06 Thread Daniel Stoni


Hello Ubuntu Swiss Team - below some updates regarding our DVD:

PPA: discussions reveal that using the swiss team ppa is not the best
idea from a security perspective - due its openness. Replacement is
under way.

LinuxDay Geneva: Talking with Linalis people and visiting their webpage
I've learned about SwissOS: http://www.swissos.ch

SwissOS is a Remix based on Ubuntu 8.10 developed by Linalis with some
local customizations and some nice graphics for usplash, gdm and gnome.
They are using some own meta debs on http://www.swissos.ch/main. SwissOS
has some preseeding, too (default settings for gfxboot, timezone,
language, keyboard).
I'm interested in joining efforts, but we have to sort out some points first
- Naming: SwissOS - vs. Ubuntu SwissRemix. There are good reasons for
either approach
- SwissOS includes free and non-free software. This is conflicting with
the current SwissRemix approach which tries to be 'clean' from a legal
perspective.
Action: The free packages used will be added to SwissRemix, too.
Reference to  non-free Software installation is being added to the
postinstall documentation.

I still collect votes and ideas for default SwissRemix packaging. Should
the kernel sources be in the remix? Wine is not in - any objections?


I keep you informed. Regards, DSTO

[Ubuntu-ch] Ubuntu 9.04 SwissRemix RC

2009-06-01 Thread Daniel Stoni


Hello all

As announced earlier, we are in charge of building a Ubuntu SwissRemix.
There is now a version ready for testing which can be downloaded from

http://www.teamubuntu.ch/pub/9.04-desktop+swiss-remix/

At the moment, you may use ubu...@stoni.ch for feedback about the
SwissRemix.

Please note:
- the product follows the philosophy defined for the 8.04 remix: combine
the different desktops and add most useful & current software and local
languages. This should make the Remix suitable for demonstration or many
offline installation purposes.
- there should be no change of behaviour compared to the original Ubuntu
product.
- documentation of the SwissRemix has been slightly updated and some
additional extras ("The official Ubuntu Book") are now included. Content
 limited to non-commercial-use-only has been removed.
- the website for the DVD is planned for availability by June 4. Until
then use ubu...@stoni.ch for communication. Please use this mail address
for SwissRemix related questions/submissions only.

How you can help:
- check if your favorite program is included. If not, let us know. We
are highly interested in your requirements and enumeration of
'must-have-tools'. For example you can vote for a preinstall of the
kernel sources  We have special interest in hints by people using
OEM install. Target date for any feedback: June 6, 2009.
- there is a readme on the desktop - which is stored in
/etc/skel/Desktop. Not the prettiest approach, I know. Suggestions?
- Readme is in english only, I will translate to german myself - is  any
volunteer out there for an italian or french (short) edition?

About customizations:
- there are plenty of ideas how to ease/automate customization of the
Software. Swiss Bookmarks, OpenOffice Settings, Mail configuration
or dial-up samples, dictionaries, furthermore. To allow distribution and
maintenance of such scripts and configurations, we have initialized the
swiss ppa archive on launchpad (contribution by Logintas AG). The PPA
is activated in the SwissRemix - along with 'restricted', 'multiverse'
and 'medibuntu'.

Best regards, dsto

[Ubuntu-ch] ubuntu cd swiss remix

2009-04-14 Thread Daniel Stoni


Hello Ubuntu Swiss Team

Ten days to go, ten days until Ubuntu 9.04 will be generally available. By end 
of month, we also would like to have a Swiss Edition of Jaunty Jackalope. As 
noted earlier, ownership of this production is transferred from /ch/open to 
ubuntu-ch community and I offered my help to get the DVD ready in time. This is 
a tight schedule and I'd like to inform you about the current activities:

Main tasks:
- collect money by sponsors for the production. Due by end of this week. About 
4000 CHF are to be collected.
- gather swiss specific requirements for the new release by ensuring continuity 
from the previous (8.04) edition. Due by  April 23 the latest.
- build DVD ISO using final code, do thorough testing and hand the ISO to a DVD 
pressing company. Due by about April 27. 

Some more information about the project is currently under 
http://www.stoni.ch/cms/de/node/67 
(in german only). 

Wiki/Forum to be prepared by tomorrow. The goal is to port full information to 
ubuntu-ch community website at a later date.   

Looking forward to seeing your feedback and reading about your ideas. Any offer 
for assistance is appreciated.

Kind regards

2009 as part of OpenExpo in Berne.
We are now ready to coach and inform helpers and supporters willing to 
prepare and advertise the event.
Please note availability of the new website and mailing list as outlined 
below (note in german).


ML:

installzone2009...@lugbe.ch
http://maillists.lugbe.ch/mailman/listinfo/installzone2009-be

Org-Team Email:
installz...@openexpo.ch


Announcement (external)

http://installzone.openexpo.ch

Help/Wiki

http://atomnet.dyndns.org/installzone


Any help is apreciated, thank you.

Best Regards, Daniel & Philippe


***

Der Countdown läuft: Genau in einem Monat, am 2. April, geht das ganze 
über die Bühne. Das heisst, langsam gehts ans eingemachte!


Was gibts zu tun?

- Helfer suchen
- Werbung machen
- Event vorbereiten

Wie könnte Ihr helfen?

- Als erstes möchte ich euch bitten, euch folgender Maillingste zu 
registrieren:


installzone2009...@lugbe.ch/http://maillists.lugbe.ch/mailman/listinfo/installzone2009-be

Ich möchte versuchen den ganzen Informationsaustausch darüber zu regeln, 
damit hoffentlich nichts verloren geht.



- Helfer suchen && finden: Könnt Ihr selbst kommen? Kennt Ihr Leute die 
helfen könnten? Wisst Ihr wo man nach mehr Helfern "betteln" könnte? Wer 
schreibt in welche Maillinglisten?


Ich möchte versuchen, Cross- und Multi-postings in Maillinglisten zu 
vermeiden. Schickt mir daher doch bitte eine Liste mit vorschlägen oder 
Listen wo ich|Ihr reinposten könntet.


Leute die beim installieren oder sonst für den Event mithelfen können, 
schicken doch Bitte ein Mail an mich (siehe Absender) oder an 
installz...@openexpo.ch mit Angaben zu welcher Zeit Sie anwesend sein 
können und zu welchen Distributionen Kenntnisse vorhanden sind. Es wäre 
auch toll, wenn jemand da sein könnte der "nur" den Empfang macht. Da 
müssten nicht zwingend technische Kenntnisse vorhanden sein.




- Werbung machen: Falls möglich und sinnvoll, informiert doch euer 
Umfeld über die InstallZone! Die Website 
(http://installzone.openexpo.ch) ist aufgeschaltet und Anmelden ist möglich.



- Event vorbereiten: Wer kann am 2. April vor 10:00 vor Ort sein um die 
Infrastruktur aufzubauen?


Bemerkung: Der Bedarf für einen Mirror-Server wurde bereits angemeldet. 
Ich kann eine Kiste mit 250GB und 1GBit Netzinterface zur Verfügung stellen.



Weitere Informationen?
Findet Ihr unter http://atomnet.dyndns.org/installzone
Ich werde da sobald erste Helfer und Anmeldungen vorhanden sind auch 
entsprechende Listen/Timetables führen.


Vielen Dank!!!
Philippe

Re: [Ubuntu-ch] Legal Status questions

2008-12-19 Thread Daniel Stoni


Hello all,

as discussed in IRC this week, I have forwarded Trib's request to
/ch/open also.

On the other side, having a proper legal status on our own (ubuntu-ch)
would be really useful. Founding a  formal non-profit association (Legal
Status: 'Verein') is not a big deal and would make sense in many regards:
- have determined structure/organization/decision making,
- ease communication with business contacts,
- pay expense, accept donations & do investments for useful things.
Can we have a discussion on this? a vote? Are there experienced people
on the list? Or is there anything in place I'm not aware of?

Regards, Dani

[Ubuntu-ch] InstallZone at OpenExpo

2008-12-19 Thread Daniel Stoni

Dear ubuntu-ch community

you might have read today's communication about the InstallZone at the
OpenExpo taking place on April 1/2 in Bern. BEA has has approved the
InstallZone as announced in the latest openexpo newsletter:
http://www.openexpo.ch/newsletter/newsletter-9/
The InstallZone is planned to be open to the public on the second day
and I have already confirmed my personal support to Philippe Seewer (who
organizes the InstallZone).

The reason for this mailing: It was decided to put advertisement of the
swiss linux "Community Partners" on the flyer. Requests are to be
forwarded to LugBE, Ubuntu and Fedora.

I've been asked to inform ubuntu-ch about the plan. I believe it is a
nice marketing opportunity for ubuntu-ch and we should definitely be
part of it. There will be an Ubuntu Booth anyway. I suggest to approve
and support the idea. There is no obligation to staff the InstallZone,
although any help is estimated and I'm very positive that we will have a
nice delegation available.

Here you can find last year's flyer - it might give you a picture of
what is planned (there should be room for the logos of the 'Community
Partners' ):
http://openexpo.ch/fileadmin/images/2008Bern/InstallZone/OpenExpo_2008Bern_LinuxInstallZone.pdf

Any comment or votes are appreciated. ubuntu-ch feedback is expected by
next Monday and to be forwarded to organizers - unless we have severe
things to discuss.

Thank you for your support, best Regards
dsto/Daniel

Re: [Ubuntu-ch] Last Todos before Saturday

2008-11-13 Thread Daniel Stoni

Hello Myriam, dear colleagues

As discussed sponsoring for the softdrinks is confirmed. People in
charge for preparation may order (with return option) - if not already
done. Please give me a phonecall if we have to agree to certain
selection or amounts - or in case you need billing details (Ramon?). 
Unfortunately there is no possibility for me to come to ZH before Sat
afternoon, 15:30 pm. 

Looking forward, kind regards

Daniel Stoni
