i dont care in which german state. preferably close to other german skolelinux people. i talked to debian developers at debconf, who i belive to have the potential to both care and productively work with german teachers. > How do you want to get german teachers involved (any offer to them)? the problem is that mostly teachers (aka non-technical people and not knowlegeable about how to work in a team over the net) are involved right now in skolelinux-de. little to no reusable code or documentation flows back to the bigger community. Some quality ensurance effords are in the works, and a german wiki was created, but no reoccuring efford is made to push it upstream. (one could blame the new website, which is still not up, and which is intended as a way of providing an international forum and help to solve that problem.) as far as i am concerned those developers and teachers should work in close proximity, and the developers task would probably be to observe where the teachers struggle and 1) communicate that in a usable way to the other developers 2) solve the problem in a reusable fashion 3) educate the teachers and enable them to become multipicators (to help others) > In which position / task shall teachers be involved (existing doc's / info > material about that for interested teachers)? i guess the most interesting teachers would be those with a developer around. (c: all the rest could try to get over their mindset of "i want this, provide it for me now!" (which i notice more in german teachers then elsewhere) towards "i need this, how can i help to make it happen and where can i contribute?". i am german myself.
