Here's the summary of the first IRC Meeting this year.
1.) Open action items
Christmas vacation prevent us from doing as much as wanted/needed.
Neither Jordi nor JDSN are present, so we don't know anything about
their action items. Lars has written some documentation about the ISO
creation of the Edu-CD, but is currently not ready yet. Furthermore
there exists a first working GUI for the YaST-SquidGuard module - but
the backend part is missing.
2.) Status of the Edu-CD
In spite of the official Release of the openSUSE-Education 1.0 for
openSUSE 10.2 we've got not so much feedback from outside. Lars has
extracted some statistics from the webserver logfiles, but they have to
be taken with a pinch of salt because it looks like many people tried
to download the ISO more than once using download managers or something
else. This in mind we have over 400 downloads for the
openSUSE-Education-1.0-for-10.2.iso in the last two weeks! But only 20
hits for the online repository.
Happily we can announce a first big deal for openSUSE-Education: as a
result of a cooperation between Novell and Exits, german, austrian and
swiss schools can order free openSUSE 10.2 boxes containing the
openSUSE-Education 1.0 DVD! Schools just have to pay for shipping and
handling (which is currently 6 Euro for 10 Boxes). As an additional
result, we've a DVD Layout for our Edu-CD!
Update: Since this week, the "openSUSE-Education 1.0 for openSUSE 10.2"
ISO is added to the official openSUSE Bittorrent tracker!
Because of lacking time we have to skip the release date of the
openSUSE-Education 1.0 for 10.3. Now we've new release dates for 10.3:
* 02/08/2008 for the first release candidate (RC1)
* 02/22/2008 for the second release candidate (RC2) which should be
the final version
Until RC1, the developers want to add some packages (amongst others
gambas and pascal) and fix some of the current ones.
An outstanding problem is the translation of patterns and package
descriptions into different languages. Currently the patterns are
available in german, english and russian. Package descriptions are
currently just in english. Lars tries to develop a webfrontend
(called "PDB: Package Database") on openSUSE-Education.org until RC2 -
so people can submit package translations easily with a webfrontend -
don't burden the developers with asking for integration into the
packages (which btw. would bloat the rpm database on the users
computer).
3.) Packaging questions
Should there be an update tree for the openSUSE-Education 1.0 release?
In theory this is already possible. But that would lead to additional
work for the developers as they should not only fix their packages but
also submit a patch description. And we currently didn't have an easy
solution for the last one - especially when the patches should provide
translated informations as the official openSUSE ones.
So the decision is to skip patches for the 1.0 release and focus on
finishing the 1.0 release for all distributions and the package
database. But patches will be a topic for the next release of
openSUSE-Education.
At least: we've updated the packages stardict, stardict-tools,
galculator, tuxmath and tuxtype. New packages: atomix and fbreader
