Hi

Just a short update today: 1) Edu-CD

The first Alpha4 for the Edu-CD should be available for testing this weekend! This Alpha4 will be compatible to the openSUSE-10.3-Alpha4. You can add it as "add-on" media.

SUPER NEWS!!!!!! Glad I downloaded alpha4 this week!

As this media is _not_ from SUSE/Novell, you would get a Popup-Warning, that this media contains an "untrusted" GPG-Key. This is the new openSUSE-Education GPG key. Just import it and you should be able to see the two new patterns for "Education Desktop" and "Education Server Applications" and install the packages.

this is fine!

2) Logo

Thanks to Andreas Ochs for a first openSUSE-Education Logo! If no one comes up with a better proposal, we can take it for the openSUSE-Education project as a whole, I think.

Yes thanks you very much.

3) Wiki-pages

See: http://en.opensuse.org/Education

I got two Emails about an overloaded Education start page in the openSUSE wiki. So I reduced the size by splitting of subpages. We should remember that this page is the "signboard" of the whole Education project which is hopefully a bit more than links to other projects...

So I vote for a rewrite of the =Goals= Section (last part of the second paragraph) with a focus on targets we could reach until 10.3 is out. This should just be an overview (containing a link to the "Education - To do" list) and not repeating the whole information which is covered on the other sites.

shortened

We can go into details an a general future view later on - on other wiki sites. But having a page which doesn't even fit into a 3200x1600 resolution can't be the goal in my eyes ;-)

Any objections? Any proposals?

Lars, I have been spending my time on KIWI and Sabayon and I can't get very far with either, the KIWI netboot image does not adjust itself to hardware very well yet and I may be miscommunicating the problems. I have hardware that I know works with LTSP5 but not with kiwi, yet!!! These guys are brilliant and busy like you so work is slow but fun. Sabayon needs some work, I cannot edit the "main menu" with the "Menu Layout" application within sabayon but I can on the host. I have contacted the package maintainer and filed a bug. I don't know gconf very well so I can't figure out how to do it manually. I do have a desktop background, Icons and menu scheme, for the elementary group. I will look for some other grade level backgrounds this week. -- James Tremblay Director of Technology Newmarket School District Novell CNE 3\4\5 CLE \ NCE in training. http://en.opensuse.org/education -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-edu+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-edu+help@opensuse.org
