After contacts with the different branches of the DebianEdu project and some of the cooperating projects, we have put together a draft application for OLPC developer boards. To sum it up we have the following parties that said they could contribute:
- The LinEx people and Christian Perrier from the Debian installer team could help out with the installer (getting a Debian distro install with Linux-bios) - Anton Borisow could help out with power management and bios issues - Skolelinux Germany is currently waiting for shipment for some boards from Brightstar that would be located at their tests center. - Knut Yrvin will help out getting a debloated KDE desktop to work. He will cooperate with student projects at universities and university colleges making a more light weight desktop of standard GUI applications and components tailored for use inn education. We really need people also working with the mesh network (IPv6). And it would be nice with some person(s) that could help out with documentation on a wiki. To use the wiki as a tool for simple status reports an such is really working. So it would be nice if someone would join the effort making the mesh network work out of the box, and the effort with maintaining and updating documentation and small status reports on a wiki. Please give feedback so that we can improve the application for boards, the plans, or if you would participate. Link to the draft application: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/OLPC The development of a Debian OLPC solution will almost certain to be done under the DebianEdu umbrella, but it is really a cross project activity to get this working. I'll e-mail this to the debian custom list as I announced earlier. But a lot of development coordination will also be done on other lists, by IRC and the wiki. I'll present this plan on Thursday at the DevCamp 2006 at Forbach in France with 50 Skolelinux developers and contributors. So please join our common effort to make OLPC a success! http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/DevCamp2006 Best regards Knut Yrvin from the Skolelinux project Norway -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
