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. 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? +++++ 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 ;)!
