Hi James, @ll

How are you? How is the Baby?

Currently my whole family is moving from Göttingen to Nuernberg (about 400km). All family members are alive and kicking (especially my daugther - just two months old and it seems to me she's becoming her first teeths...). So this is the last time I can send an email from our old apartment.


I'm wondering about the 905 mb size of the new disk. Is it programs or
dependencies pushing us into dvd size?  I'm not in the poorest school
district that I know of, but even my IBM servers still all use cd's.


This is the result of some sleepless nights (currently 140 source packages in Education:desktop and Education:server).

But I've created an online repository, so you can use the URL below to add the Education-Repository to your installation sources:

   http://www.opensuse-education.org/download/Beta1/

Just a short ls -lrSh in the rpms directory shows some packages with over 10MB:
 10M  pysycache-lang-pt-3.0-9.7.noarch.rpm
 10M  kde4-marble-3.92.0.svn700953-2.1.i586.rpm
 11M  grass-6.2.2-17.1.i586.rpm
 11M  maxima-5.12.0-3.12.i586.rpm
 11M  XaraLX-devel-0.7r1777-9.1.i586.rpm
 12M  python-wxGTK26-2.6.3.3-44.1.i586.rpm
 12M  hydrogen-0.9.3-79.1.i586.rpm
 15M  pysycache-photographies-3.0-3.6.noarch.rpm
 16M  celestia-1.4.1-7.5.i586.rpm
 17M  clisp-2.41-2.9.i586.rpm
 18M  scilab-4.1.1-59.4.i586.rpm
 28M  qcad-2.0.5.0-53.13.i586.rpm
 29M  kdeedu3-3.5.7-33.2.i586.rpm
 29M  muse-0.8.1-3.1.i586.rpm
 31M  pysycache-3.0.1-17.2.i586.rpm
 31M  stellarium-0.9.0-10.13.i586.rpm
 44M  gcompris-8.3.2-24.6.i586.rpm
170M  XaraLX-0.7r1777-9.1.i586.rpm

Perhaps now it's a good time to test _all_ applications and decide if they should stay on the CD or just reside in the repository.

The german Education team has already started to test some applications. I think we can clone their wiki page:
 http://de.opensuse.org/Bildungswesen_Desktopprogramme
into the english wiki.

The page is splitted into two parts: one for young children (up to 12 years) and one for older ones.

For each part, there are some categories like "computing", "languages", "mathematics", "natural sciences", "art".... (try to place a application into one or more of these categories - you can create a new one if none fits your application, but this should not be necessary).

The table titles are:

* Pakagename (with link to a detailed description) - links to en.wikipedia.org pages, if possible

* Description - short description of the application

* Homepage - the original homepage of the project

* Note - links to other websites who have good articles about this application

Greetings,
Lars
