http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/DesignService?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=fedora_astronomy_nicu1.png
16:46 stickster_a | changes nick to stickster
16:46 marek let me know what do you think about the logo
16:46 sergiopr very nice
16:46 marek I think the idea is good but need some work, for
example I don't like the little blue planet
16:46 marek I'll contact Nicu and ask if he can help us
16:46 sergiopr perhaps in other color?
16:46 marek sergiopr: yes, true
16:47 marek or as the moon
16:47 sergiopr I like the eclipse-fedora logo
16:47 sergiopr The idea is simillar
16:47 marek oh, do you have one around? I don't thave eclipse
instaled
16:48 sergiopr let me see
16:49 marek http://sourceware.org/eclipse/ this one?
16:50 sergiopr Yep
16:50 marek ok
16:50 marek and what do you think about the wallpaper?
16:51 sergiopr I like it also
16:52 marek ok
16:52 sergiopr I have used also a landscape of mars as a wallpaper
16:52 sergiopr But this is ok I think
16:52 marek the good thing is that's already in fedora
16:52 sergiopr Yes
16:53 marek regarding packaging, redmode is already approved
16:53 marek I've also created fedora-bookmarks package
16:53 marek waiting for review
16:53 marek anything new on your side?
16:53 sergiopr I have abandoned midas :(
16:53 marek why?
16:53 sergiopr It's kind o nightmare
16:53 marek I belive that =)
16:54 sergiopr I can compile it
16:54 sergiopr BUt not install it in a sane way
16:55 sergiopr There lots of files left, source code, object files,
binaries with rpath set
16:55 marek uhm, ugly
16:55 marek but that's not a problem
16:55 sergiopr empty files,
16:55 marek ok
16:55 sergiopr I can give you my specfile, if you wan to try
16:56 marek do you count to take anythin else for packaging?
16:56 marek sergiopr: ok, send it to me please
16:56 sergiopr I know you wolud ask that :)
16:56 marek =)
16:56 sergiopr I have packaged cloudy
16:56 sergiopr A photoionization modeling tool
16:57 marek yup, saw it in under review section
16:57 marek who was interested in gnu/radio maintaining btw?
16:57 sergiopr I don't know
16:58 marek ok, I took vacation from work next week
16:58 marek so I'm planning to do some major work
16:58 marek changed the topic of #fedora-meeting to: Fedora Astronomy
SIG Meeting -- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Astronomy | Free
discussion, mind storming
16:59 marek ok
16:59 marek I thought to register fedora-astronomy.org and
redirect it to fedora wiki page
16:59 marek what do you think?
16:59 marek would be easier to refer to that when you speak of
the spin
16:59 marek but I'm not sure about domain name
16:59 sergiopr Do you think it's necessary?
17:00 marek well, few days ago I've told my friend about the
project and he asked me, where can I find it. I though it may be a good
idea to have this kind of redirect
17:00 marek or maybe I can ask infrastructure team to have
astronomy.fedoraproject.org redirect
17:01 marek not sure what's better
17:01 sergiopr Well, it's easier to remember a simple name
17:01 sergiopr I would prefer the astronomy.fedora thing
17:01 marek true
17:01 sergiopr It makes more evident the conexion with fedora
17:01 marek because I would like to have short address for
priting on DVDs, banners etc...
17:01 marek http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Astronomy is too
long :)
17:02 sergiopr Yes, its tru
17:02 sergiopr true
17:03 sergiopr We could try first the astronomy.fedorablablah thing,
and if it's not possible, then register other domain
17:03 marek ok
17:03 marek reggarding the time like, I would like to have our
first test ISO with Fedora 9 beta release
17:04 marek so, I will try to get it week, two before Fedora 9 beta
17:04 sergiopr Fedora beta is due to...
17:04 marek 13 March 2008
17:04 sergiopr Less than one month
17:05 marek yup
17:05 marek but after Fedora 9 release our work is not finish :)
17:05 marek we will roll-out spin with Fedora 10 too...
17:05 marek with more packages!
17:05 marek :)
17:05 sergiopr Yes, of course
17:05 marek I think Fedora 9 will have a good feedback from community
17:05 sergiopr It's only the begining!
17:06 marek in question of what package is missing etc..
17:06 marek I count to contact meade, bressers etc... after Fedora 10
17:07 marek and push in order to distribute the spin with their
telescopes
17:07 marek for free
17:07 sergiopr Very nice
17:07 marek I had an email exchange with one guy from celestron,
he told me if I have something solid they will consider it for 100%
17:08 marek fact I didn't know that celestron have one small team
for open source stuff
17:08 sergiopr Good move
17:08 marek (how to integrate their scopes with open source etc...)
17:09 marek ok
17:09 sergiopr My spec of midas is in
http://sergiopr.fedorapeople.org/midas.spec
17:09 marek that's all I had for today
17:09 marek sergiopr: thanks!
17:09 sergiopr What about openuniverse
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=426302
17:10 Sparks < [n=Sparks at fedora/Sparks] quits [Read error: 113 (No
route to host)]
17:10 marek sergiopr: I count finish this one next week
17:10 sergiopr ok
17:11 marek ds9 is working fine?
17:11 marek I had no chance to play much with it
17:11 sergiopr yep
17:11 marek cool
17:11 sergiopr the people in my department it's using it without
complain
17:11 marek cool!
17:12 marek it's sad that iraf is not complatible
17:12 sergiopr iraf it's other nightmare
17:12 sergiopr I'm collaborating with a japanesse guy porting it to
x86_64
17:12 marek sergiopr: nice
17:13 sergiopr it has things like a duplicated libm
17:13 marek but it's still not fedora-complatible?
17:13 sergiopr or libc
17:13 sergiopr no
17:14 sergiopr the problem it's ncar grapics
17:14 sergiopr http://ngwww.ucar.edu/
17:14 sergiopr I don' know if ncar it's free now
17:14 marek so, why is iraf incompatible?
17:15 marek it's not clear to me
17:15 marek because of ncar?
17:15 sergiopr because the version harcoded in iraf is 20 years old
17:15 marek :)
17:15 sergiopr and then it was non free
17:15 marek hmm
17:15 marek did you tried it with never version?
17:16 marek maybe not the newest one, but the first open source one
17:16 sergiopr it's mixed with the iraf code
17:16 sergiopr it's not trivial to change it
17:16 marek ah
17:17 marek is iraf license permitting fork?
17:17 sergiopr iraf it's written in a strange language
17:17 sergiopr called SPP
17:17 sergiopr mixture og C and fortran
17:17 sergiopr the license it's MIT
17:18 sergiopr does it permitt fork?
17:18 marek not sure, I guess not :(
17:18 marek I'll investigate it
17:18 * marek notes
17:20 marek ok good
17:20 marek anything else?
17:20 sergiopr http://sourceforge.net/projects/iraf64/
