This weeks news, I have officially taken my new roll at os4ed.com. I am
the community leader and product specialist for openSIS our core effort
to supply schools throughout the world with a cost efficient, standards
complaint, localizable student information management and reporting
suite. I took this position because I know it is the best way for me to
help further the goals of the server portion of the opensuse edu
project. One of my first goals will be to learn how to set up a
subversion repository or other community development location. I believe
what I need is in the dev site at Novell but I am not sure of that. I am
hoping to learn this quickly so I can start to recruit other fans of the
open source SIS (student information system) idea.
I am hoping to start the kind of development community for our core work
on openSIS, so all suggestions are welcome
and any help recruiting php developers and postgres to mysql specialists
would be appreciated.
I can be reached at james(at)os4ed.com

Hello Community
I am happy to announce the availability of KIWI-LTSP 0.7.0, LTSP5
implementation on openSUSE 11.1 using KIWI imaging technology.
Here are the highlights of this update:
* We now have full Nomad[1] support, including local sound, USB/CD/DVD.
* All LTSP components updated to bzr snapshot of 090128.
* LDM now offers password prompt immediately if wrong password is given
This update is thanks to all the hard work by LTSP Team[2] and for
working on getting nomad support in LDM: Proj-Uron[3] team.
To install this release you need openSUSE 11.1 installed, follow the
Quick_Start guide[4] or see this link[5]
Have a lot of fun...
-J

Kevin,
I am sorry , we don't have any "official" disks yet. We will certainly
be looking to
have some made soon. we still have some "pattern" and categorization
work to do
before we can ask for those to be made. Our project is still young , but
great things are
happening. ;)
