Hi all,
i am an It Operations Manager (admin of 180 servers over 3 platforms) a Michelin company specialized in e-commerce (popgom.com) in 15 countries and i decided to join the project trying to help you with my competences and experiences. a quick look behind me would show that i am into the opensource community since 1998, i've been part of official knoppix support during 3 years (2002-2005) , i also created the first 100% opensource cyber coffee and created beside it a complete solution for cyber coffees (2006) including captive web portal. i belong to the admin group of the Proxmox PVE group (on IRC/ Fb), to the FreeBSD france community and some other ones. i think i'll be able to help in shell scripting, functional study, docs writing, commuincation. In fact i have tried DDL for my 6 y old daughter and, first on usb key and then tried to install it (i gave her an eeepc 701) there are quiet a lot of things i'd like to talk about but if i would resume i would say : - impossible to install it on eeepc 701 using the installer (it does'nt see the disk i had to modify the PCI script) and can't chroot so won't boot at the end. > i installed it from minimal Debian install which worked great after a couple of tricks - the main page is not (to my point of view and after my daughters remarks) logically functional > ex : gcompris is a main entry menu, when you get into it you have the internal gcompris menu with its own categories, but the other ones get into an openbox profil with icons which are not at all like the gcompris ones which is normal, but could disturb a child dued to the graphical different interface. To my point of view it would need that all the entries of the main page get into an openbox one, even if there is only one entry, so all would be iso in term of logical - network manager doesn't keep connections dued to keyring manager and local profil rights -removing packages not configurable, removing some, and adding some - adding a real installer (which is a need but has to be really deeply rethought) there are plenty of existing installers - for eeepc 701 (there are plenty which could be used for DDL in school) adding a kernel module for eeepc control giving the ability to overclock, or modify the light and the fan speed > it could be automatically done with a script recognizing the eeepc701 - writing docs > it needs a doc for the children themselves, devs, or simply non-geeks parents - communication over the project >identifying the most intrested countries (from ips) and communicate on generic specialized sites to keep inform community (ex : distrowatch for the distrib, linuxfr france, facebook group, etc etc) it a simple first mail but i am pleased to help you all Ludovic L'HOIR
