Hello to all, I am the author of the German language book "Linux in der Schule" (Linux in schools). I would like to point you to Xplora, the European Gateway for Science Education, where we think that Open Source is a great tool. Have a look at http://www.xplora.org Karl James Tremblay schrieb:
Hello all, We could use some help with the http://en.opensuse.org/Education project. Help with all aspects would be appreciated. I have included in the text of the site some goals. I'd like to ask that people with RPM building , PHP programming, postgresql, LDAP, and installation script experience , i.e. manipulating config files during the install process, please contact us.
Schools all over the world could use help mainstreaming their records keeping process so that students can have the benefit of those records and their achievements, should they be in a position to go on to college. Shouldn't it be as easy as possible for students to have access to computers and the possibilities they provide. Wouldn't it be nice for some rural school district to be able to build a small network based on OpenSUSE and LTSP, that hosts all student management, course delivery and testing services as well as provide demographics, achievement and testing records that are recognized world wide? All these tools exist in opensource today, what is missing is the distribution to host them, together we can solve this issue.
Topics for volunteers: 1) creating a complete installation system for Centre 2) adding LDAP to Centre 3) creating a "databridge" to Moodle 4) anything I haven't thought of yet James
