Hi,

The maintainer of KITE GNU/Linux[1] OS will be coming to DebConf. KITE GNU/Linux OS is the operating system that is used in public schools in Kerala state for ICT Education[2]. The latest KITE GNU/Linux OS is derived from Ubuntu 20.04.

We are planning to spend a day with him to discuss about how to collaborate with KITE Kerala. It would be great if people from Debian Edu community also join that discussion.

We are planning for a day in DebCamp, let us know if anyone has preferred date if they would like to join the discussion.

Possible steps we see,
1. Get a list of software used in kite gnu/linux and prepare list of unpackaged software. Then ask community for help in packaging them.
2. Help Hakkim mash generate KITE iso from Debian Edu as base.
3. Create a space in Debian Edu salsa group for KITE specific things or have an option to have multiple profiles.

Thanks Kannan for taking the initiative. I think this would be a good opportunity for Debian to connect with one of the largest GNU/Linux deployments in schools. This is one of the inspiring success stories of GNU/Linux adoption.
