Hi, I'm happy to announce our decision to adopt Debian Edu for GNU/Linux in Schools. This is part of i...@school project of Karnataka state in South India. We are still in the initial stages of the project. We would like to work closely with debian edu and bring an official flavour (not sure if it the correct terminology - it would be like skolelinux or linex). With some help from irc, I have been able to build cd images (lenny test dvd). I am currently maintaining Malayalam translations of debian installer and some debconf templates. I have been following many debian lists for some time.
Some immediate targets I have in mind, 1) We would like to have Open Office 3 from backports as default. I made a dvd image using local hooks for including backports (pointed LOCALDEBS to backports repository and renamed section and code name to local and lenny), but any help in doing it as another optional hook similar to LOCAL would be great. 2) Is there a list of artwork customisation done by debian edu that we can use? We would like to use our on artwork. Looking forward to working with you.
