### Topic: status lenny
Holger mentioned, that only 6 bugs are left!
http://tinyurl.com/edulenny-releaseview
Daniel did a netinst testinstall of mainserver+workstation+ltsp which was
sucessful but he did not yet test the thinclient part. He reported that
there is still a problem with the bootstrap of ldap for samba and samba in
general which may also require a change in lwat (to add some more samba
attributes for new users and hosts) Daniel has a test setup now and is
working onthe samba issue. Finn-Arne asked about pdns-ldap, if we should
have used strict method instead if tree-method. Ronny used tree mode
when he initialy concived the powerdns way. since i needed zone transfers.
Petter would love to have one object for each computer in LDAP.
Petter tested the lenny install, and failed to find tjener as a host in LDAP
using lwat. Holger: this bug blocks our release ;)
### Discussion about samba group maps follows.
Ronny: this is something samba did in a different way in etch so it
was working in etch Daniel: there are groupmaps for admins, jradmins,
teachers and students now
(debian-edu-config/ldap-tools/samba-debian-edu-admin), and adding
groupmap information would be nice Ronny: the groups we provide out of
the box are working. This is only for new groups made thru lwat /
import and it works if you run the command i mentioned in the bug
http://bugs.skolelinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1270 after making the
groups. I have allways kept it identical for the user generated
groups, and does not see a need to change it. With the exception of
the groups that have special meanings:
http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/groupmapping.html#WKURIDS
Petter: we should avoid regressions if this was working in etch.
Finn-Arne: I'll look into it.
### PXE
Short question about PXE:
Petter asked Holger: did you fix the PXE stuff with DVDs?
Holger: pere, no
### Discussion about test releases:
Kurt asked: Who is able to do this? Holger: ftpteam and drift Petter:
gautehk, ronny, pere, olea, herman, lis, joeyh, holger, builder, akai,
werner, ragnar, jever, finnarne
Ronny: Wording the announcement is the main work. There may be other bugs we
do not know about. And the announcement should mention the blocking bugs to
avoid duplicates.
Kurt will help to draft the announcement, Holger and Daniel will help too.
Petter proposed an example:

### Topic: developer gathering october
Finn-Arne is waiting for an answer of FRISK. His company will sponsor some
NOK for gathering if it is not the 3rd weekend in october.
At the same time there should happen a new general assembly and elections of
the board of FRISK.
Petter proposed to use the wikipage:
http://www.friprogramvareiskolen.no/Gathering to collect the possible date.
So everybody how likes to join the meeting should put his name and his
available weekend in october in that page.
### Topic: other buisness
