[opensuse-edu] Congratulations!

Hi http://news.opensuse.org/2009/01/29/hp-builds-on-the-opensuse-education-pro… Tells most of the story already. From my point of view, I just can say it again: "Thanks to all for your hard work and patience!" With Novell, HP, Linkat, Extis and (very important from my point of view:) more local partners in our "Team" - supporting schools using Linux will be much easier these days. FYI: I'm currently in contact with people inside Novell, people from HP, Jordi from Linkat and people from Extis to "get some balls rolling". It may take some time - but even if it takes years, I think it's really worth to get it done...

It would be nice to see if I can build a newer Which image kiwi-ltsp images? use kiwi-ltsp-setup after mounting 11.1 DVD iso at /mnt/11.1 and configuring /etc/sysconfig/kiwi-ltsp according to your setup. > set of images to use with 4.x than the Gnome/debian they were based on > to have a standardized look and feel.

I have no clue about building LTSP4.2 images, but running LTSP5 + LTSP4 on the same server should be possible. Document it on our wiki if you manage to get it going.

[opensuse-edu] Need advice
by James Tremblay aka SLEducator 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

He guys, I have added openSIS to our project and configured the spec file correctly (as far as I can tell) why does it not appear in the repo or on the RC for 11.1?

[opensuse-edu] Meeting schedule
by James Tremblay aka SLEducator 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Hello everyone, I have changed jobs recently and I will be working even harder to get the server portions of our project closer to the dream I have had for it. I expect that openSIS will become the tool that will congeal my efforts to compile an ERP for education based on open source technologies and I am still hoping that the gentleman from Extis will help with this too. I have to admit that I have been seriously lacking in my participation and I am hoping that I can turn that around this year. If it's at all possible could we communicate, at least weekly, here so that meeting schedules and tasks can be more public knowledge. I am looking forward to my new openSUSE.org blog and I hope to be able to detail our work in an effort to generate more publicity. Again thank you all for your dedication to this effort.

[opensuse-edu] Locking down workstations in 11.1
by Doug Glenn 10 Jan '09

10 Jan '09

Greetings, I have spent this week installing the new RC1 candidate and tweaking things. I am currently trying to hunt down how to see what the swap file size is, and any other thing that can help improve performance aside from doubling the memory in the system. That is on the way. It isn't a huge setup, but it was classic in the ease of setup. Kudos to all of the team who worked on it. I still have to get the printers working, but in all, it was a simple setup in comparison to working with Edbuntu and the other *buntu releases. I have to document it all over the next couple of weeks, and I will post it for review when I am finished so I can get comments on it. After that, you all are welcome to take it over to the EDU's wiki and post it. That is about all I can contribute to the project. I also have a question where the client configurations are pulled from, and any other comments on tweaking individual workstation setups for KDE.

[opensuse-edu] SALOME project
by Andrea Florio 03 Jan '09

03 Jan '09

hi folks... i'm working on SALOME: http://www.salome-platform.org a fantastic project, who doesn't know here some features: SALOME is a free software that provides a generic platform for Pre and Post-Processing for numerical simulation. It is based on an open and flexible architecture made of reusable components available as free software. It is open-source (LGPL), and you can download both the sourcecode and the executables from this site. Salome Platform: * Supports interoperability between CAD modeling and computation software (CAD-CAE link) * Makes easier the integration of new components on heterogeneous systems for numerical computation * Sets the priority to multi-physics coupling between computation software * Provides a generic user interface, user-friendly and efficient, which helps to reduce the costs and delays of carrying out the studies * Reduces training time to the specific time for learning the software solution which has been based on this platform * All functionalities are accessible through the programmatic integrated Python console * Create/modify, import/export (IGES, STEP), repair/clean CAD models * Mesh CAD elements, check mesh quality, import/export mesh (MED, UNV, ASCII) * Handle physical properties and quantities attached to geometrical items * Perform computation using one or more external solvers (coupling) * Display computation results (scalar, vectorial) * Manage studies (creation, save, reload) well we are working to provide you rpms in our repository, because right now it is still a work in progress all progess are available here: OBS:Education:Salome:Factory repositories links: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Education:/Salome:/Factory/ i'm founding several problems building it, so i wrote also to salome developers: http://www.salome-platform.org/forum/?groupid=10&forumid=9&thread=2337&mess… any help from your side is really appreciate. Andrea And best wishes for that holidays!
