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
