Hi everybody, In accordance to the IRC conversation I had with some of you , I just signed the Ubuntu Code of Conduct.
I have a couple of things I want to talk about on the next meeting/this list/IRC/however you guys see fit: 1) Major wiki clean up / scrap wiki to make sure stuff is up-to-date. Currently, information for Edubuntu is very, very scattered around many different pages/sites with varying degrees of maintenance. Mostly, they contradict each other because rather dramatic changes have been made in recent (Edu)buntu version which breaks some stuff that was previously valid. I therefore suggest settings up a scrap wiki as *the* one definitive place for information to rework old information and make it work with 9.10. Alternatively, a major wiki cleanup could take place in the regular wiki. 2) It is of utmost importance to decide whether Edubuntu is to become a DVD or not. This isn't just a side decision, this is a major hold-up. Going DVD enables a lot of good stuff which is simply impractical on a CD. Additionally, Edubuntu should provide an USB image. 3) Decide on a release cycle. Release every LTS? Release every regular release? Address the target groups' needs properly here. Put together a practical software package. Maybe take a look at Skolelinux's installer that lets you choose different profiles (even though I think Skolelinux is basically in a poorer state than current Edubuntu). This was pretty much what I thought up as well as it makes sense. 4) Think REAL HARD about integration of management software. There should be one definitive, profile-based, pre-installed application to do one thing and that application should do its thing best. For example, I'd put iTalc on it to give teachers some power. 5) Decide definitive goals for 9.10 6) If I'm to get active revamping the Edubuntu site and cleaning up the wiki, I'll need some kind of write access. 7) Think about which kinds of management tasks need to be taken care of. Do applications exist for these? If not, plan these applications out. For example, is there an application to enable kiosk mode and therefore disable a restricted user's (student) access to rearranging the desktop? Is there an application for setting up a user's desktop workspace without having to login? Is there some way to mass manage users efficiently? -- Sven-Hendrik Haase -- edubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel
