https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=229216 ------- Comment #2 from jt@newmarket.k12.nh.us 2006-12-16 17:52 MST ------- 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 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Is it envisaged that this will include the desktop similar to the ideas of Edubuntu? Or are we just talking School Administration? " The direction is indeed to have this "add-on" cd that works as a part of all three SUSE environments. (a total vertical sales solution approach) first: as a set of "install Patterns" for OpenSUSE that include both desktop and server\edu-administration materials. second: as set of patterns to make SLED more education centric. third: as a set of patterns to make SLES more education management centric. With OpenSUSE we get a chance to "reach the world" by keeping this approach in mind , we should build the cd to minipulate the build process to produce one machine that is both desktop\ltsp and adminstrative, giving even the poorest of schools the ability to transmit student records electronically, even if it's on a floppy. With the SLE variants we should be thinking about specific network functions i.e. will this be the SLED\LTSP box or the SIS server , the CMS server , the LAS server, the internet gateway, the website, the e-mail server, will there be M$ boxes on the network, etc. Remembering that a lot of schools have money for technology but it's limited and the persons in charge are more likely to be technology passionate educators , not technologists who are passionate about education. (I, being the latter and still rather rare). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

The best way would be to create product independent projects, including patterns and so on which is valuable for openSUSE and SLE customers, which we could also announce via opensuse. I suppose we continue to discuss this in private mail, so I close this bugzilla entry. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
