Hi, below is a dump from our notes from the community UDS session this afternoon, it's unfiltered and raw but we'll put together something nicer later on...
= UDS Session - 12 May 2010 = Blueprint: https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/community-maverick-edubuntu-community Agenda: 1. What happened during the last 6 months? What improvements do we need in our community and what can we do for the maverick cycle? 2. Edubuntu Advocacy team and getting educators / non-technical users involved 3. Check existing LP teams and whether it needs re-organising == What's been happening the last 6 months == * New Edubuntu Council (6 new members), Edubuntu teams are now owned by Edubuntu Council * We now have regular weekly meetings (every Wednesday) * We have an Edubuntu package set where edubuntu-dev team members can upload to Suggestions: * Feed aggregators from user blogs on edubuntu.org == Edubuntu Advocacy Team == * Maybe a feed on our website for users/teachers? * Edubuntu section for Ubuntu Forums? * Bring ubuntu-education list to Edubuntu umbrella * Edubuntu meetings not ideal for teachers, perhaps a seperate kind of meeting for them? * A lot of feedback is already given and available, we should check for existing platforms for educator communication and perhaps present Edubuntu there * Facebook group specifically for teachers/educators/users/etc - mhall : http://k12opensource.ning.com/ ? * Page for tips and what do do with Edubuntu... ability for teachers to add their own tips and howto pages with educational resources == LP Teams == Currently Edubuntu teams edubuntu-council is member of: 1 Edubuntu Advocacy -# Edubuntu Artwork - Should merge with edubuntu-dev and ubuntu-artwork 2 Edubuntu Bugsquad 3 Edubuntu Developers 4 Edubuntu Documentation Team -# Edubuntu Handbook Contributors - Should merge with edubuntu-doc -# Edubuntu iTalc devel team - Should merge with edubuntu-dev 5 Edubuntu Members -# Edubuntu Menu Editor development team - Should merge with edubuntu-dev 6 Edubuntu Website == Edubuntu-dev PPA == * Make stable release versions for big packages like Gcompris available * Make users aware of PPA == Edubuntu Menu Editor == == Get our users/partners to tell us what they use == * Ask Guadalinex/RL/others to provide us with the list of applications they are currently using and aren't in Ubuntu so we can package them and have them on the DVD. * Guadalinex will soon have statistics on application usage on 10.04 == Edubuntu target market == * Edubuntu is currently targeted at lower-resourced environments, mostly primary and secondary schools that seek a turn-key solution. * Tertiary environments tend to have dedicated sysadmins and IT staff that will tailor Ubuntu to their needs and install only required packages. * Tertiary related packages would fall in the scope of being maintained by Edubuntu but not necessarilly included on the Edubuntu disc * Some of the server-side tools, such as moodle and schooltool may be appropriate for tertiary use, it will be included for server task. tertiary use Meta-package for tertiary use is being discussed at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/Specifications/HigherLevelEduPackages -- edubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel
