Ian, are your offerings in the openSUSE build service, are they included in the openSUSE education repository? If not your part of the problem I'm trying to eliminate, that is, educational offerings of OSS are dispersed over the net with no cohesive location to find and choose the pieces that meet "your" schools need. An individual repository for software can hold a goldmine of offerings but if it's address is unknown to the masses, What potential does it have? If the school looking for tools has limited Internet access then providing a CD can be a Godsend and if the versions on that CD are well tested, then the fear of downloading a "beta" version can be reduced if not eliminated. As you have pointed out most educators glaze over at the sound of tech speak and those that don't still want the implementation of their choices to be as painless as possible, which provides fuel to my fire. Provide a Add-ON CD\repository to openSUSE that does exactly that, make it painless. I ask you to include your software in our repositories and if time permits help catalog the pieces already there by writing description pages with "How to's" that include installation, and usage tips. You can easily get a build service account and I will gladly add you as a maintainer of packages. I offer this same invitation to anyone who can provide evidence of being capable of building RPM's. -- James Tremblay Director of Technology Newmarket School District Newmarket,NH http://en.opensuse.org/Education "let's make a difference" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-edu+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-edu+help@opensuse.org
