Hello, I was last week in Paris for the Educ@tice trade show: an event dedicated to IT in the education world. Christian Perrier and myself were representing the Debian project. See the full report: http://lists.debian.org/debian-events-eu/2005/11/msg00030.html The good news is that almost all education-specific distributions are now based on Debian. The sad news is that most of their work is not reintegrated in Debian and as such there's a bit of duplication of effort. That's why we need several (french-speaking) Debian Developers willing to : - mentor/sponsor some members of those projects - help create Debian Policy compliant package of their software - follow the projects, and give them good technical advice in order to ease their integration into Debian Here's a non-exhaustive list of things that should be done (IMO) : - Integrate packages created by AbulEdu Contact: Eric Seigne <eric.seigne _AT_ ryxeo.com> - Integrate packages created by Ofset Contact: Georges Khaznadar <georgesk _AT_ ofset.org> - Integrate packages created by Skolelinux.fr / Schlossgul - Merge work of Skolelinux.fr back into the main debian-edu Contact: Thierry Stauder <sthierry _AT_ free.fr> Don't hesitate to contact me if you want me to introduce you to the relevant persons (or if you want more details). Thanks for your help ! Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog Premier livre français sur Debian GNU/Linux : http://www.ouaza.com/livre/admin-debian/
