Hi all, I'm feeling a bit sad about the slowness of Debian Edu development lately.
Yes, I can sense that. Quite the same here. But differently, as well. As one of the potential developers I recently have not much spare time to look into Debian Edu nor haven't I had project funding to work on it recently.
However, we will be able to contribute a little on project budget to Debian Edu: My plan is to add a tablet installation profile using Lomiri to the Debian Edu Installer.
Also, I know people in the Netherlands looking more deeply into Debian Edu. They want to propose it as an alternative solution to the widely spread Google Chromebooks that Dutch schools use nowadays.
For example, almost two months after artwork for Debian Edu 13 was added to debian-edu-artwork, the installation medium debian-edu-13.1.0- amd64-netinst.iso still contains artwork for Debian 12. Therefore, I still can't upgrade the screenshot images in https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Trixie to Debian Edu Trixie.
Sorry for that. The Debian Edu artwork for trixie is fully in place (or at least should be). @Phil: Do you have an idea Debian-Installer-wise why artwork from debian-edu-artwork-ceratopsian is not used by the Debian (Edu) 13 Installer?
I'd really like to help speed things up a bit. My skills and my time are limited, so I wil never be able to contribute substantially, but I might be able to help in solving some very simple problems or in performing simple tasks. However, I don't want and intend to do this uncoordinated, so as not to interfere with the core developers' plans and schedules.
Frans, I dearly appreciate the offer. I'll try to be more responsive and active on Debian Edu again.
