Hi folks, I am wondering, what actual the status of Debia/Edu is. Some years ago I worked some time for ISERV, but IMO Debian/Edu is much much better. However, here in Germany the choice to ISERV was a political one, not a decision based of quality. They said: ISERV is German, we are German so we pressure schools to use it.
However, till this time I am watching Debian/Edu but do not see much changes. There are still only installer cd's for bullseye, but none for bookworm. And yes, there are still many bugs in latest version. But I think, this should not inhibit to release latest versions. People are not forced to use it in productive systems, but they could test it. And even if there are some bugs, they might to be able to be fixed during run. And the question also is, ho effected are people with some bugs. So, can it be, that Debian/Edu is dead? That it is no more developed because of the lack of developers and because are people more interested in other schoolservers like ISERV, linuxmuster.net, UCS and some more? Here in Germany Debian/Edu will not have a great chance to be used by many schools. ISERV got too much influence, and it is a political (and IMO dumb) decision, but I think, for children and pupils Debian/Edu is much better for learning, so I hope, Debian/Edu will rise again and it is not dead. I will be happy for any little feedback. Best Hans P.S. I am no coder, sorry, so I can not actively help.
