[opensuse-edu] Education projects in the openSUSE Buildservice
by Thorsten Wagner 14 Nov '08

14 Nov '08

Hi First: my Name is Thorsten and I'm a trainee teacher in a school in germany. I'm currently trying to migrate some of our PCs to openSUSE - which works very well! Thanks to all! While searching for additional apps which are not part of the openSUSE-Education Add on DVD, I found a lot of "Education" projects in the openSUSE Build Service and now I'm a bit confused about the state of these different projects. I hope, somebody here can help me to get an overview about the different repositories. (Note: I know the official Education repository on www.opensuse-education.org already - I just want to get an overview how things work together in openSUSE ;-) I found the following projects (and I hope my suggestions about there status are true - otherwise, please correct me): 1) "Education" ...which is IMHO the "original" project (?) 2) Education:deskop ...which is the project for Desktop applications as described in the wiki. But this project doesn't contain so much packages as the Education project (?) 3) Education:server:Factory described as "This project is used by jfehlig to prepare packages for openSUSE:Factory submissions. Usually all package changes should get submitted here for review and testing first." But the project just contains the package moodle and two Novell employees as maintainers. What's the meaning of this project? 4) Education:server:OSS Announced as "Packages for the current stable Open School Server." - What is the "Open School Server"? Is this the Server from Extis? 5) isv:hp:education The description of this project sounds very interesting to me: "HP and Novell have joined forces to create the most compelling open source desktop solution for Schools. From the tremendous work of the openSUSE Education community, HP and Novell are looking to leverage the openSUSE Build Service to create a central place where educators and students alike will be able to find all the greatest open source software for Education." Currently I miss the announcement of this cooperation on the Novell or HP side. Can someone please point me to such an official press announcement? Does this mean, packages in this repository will be official maintained? But I'm a bit confused as I just see one maintainer of the Education project being part of the isv:hp:education project - and most of the project-members in isv:hp:education are from Novell or HP. But many packages in the HP-Repository are just symlinks to the Education or other projects. Is this intended? Why? 6) home:* Some home-Projects also "talk" about Education - some of those home-project maintainers are already part of the Education or HP-Project - so I think these are their "development" repositories. But other home-Project maintainers are not part of any project - what's the status here? Thanks in advance for your answers!

[opensuse-edu] isv:hp:education

Hi all, On Nov 8, opensuse-edu subscriber Thorsten Wagner posted the following question that I'd like to respond to... +++++ 5) isv:hp:education The description of this project sounds very interesting to me: "HP and Novell have joined forces to create the most compelling open source desktop solution for Schools.

But many packages in the HP-Repository are just symlinks to the Education or other projects. Is this intended? Why? +++++ For now, what I can say about this is that we've started this repo as a proof of concept and are working closely with HP to create something that we hope to work on collaboratively with the opensuse education community. When we have more details and a concrete plan in place, we'll let everyone know. You can expect another update within a few weeks. Good news, of course ;)!
