Re: What do you want to do



Greetings all.  I work at a small liberal arts college in Western Massachussetts (USA).  We use debian for all of our non-windows servers (web, firewall/gateway, dns, ldap, mail, backup).



1. Are you a debian developer ?

no


2. If no, would you like to become a developer in order to
   maintain some packages ?

maybe


3. Do you have packaging skills/experience ?

no


4. If you're a Debian developer, are you willing to sponsor
   people who packages educational software ?

5. Are you willing to write/translate documentation for educational
   software ?

yes



6. What area in the big educational landscape are of special interest
for you (math, physics, biology, languages, etc.) ?


mathematics and maybe music (though those are personal preferences, nothing that i do yet in an official capacity at work)


7. Freetyle question. What else would you like to do within DebianEdu ?

Something to do with LDAP or maybe web-based courseware.

   What do you expect from DebianEdu ?

I don't even know.


At the same time, if you can put a little resume on your personal page
on the wiki by registering under http://wiki.debian.net/WikiUsers that'd
be great. :) It's optional though.

Cheers,



Just to say a little bit more about myself, my main focus at work so far has been working with openldap to create a single login for all college-related services. So far we've implemented this with regard to email, shell accounts, and a few web-based (php) applications. We've done this almost entirely (but not quite) within the debian woody (stable) framework. I'm definitely interested in courseware solutions (preferrably with php, but we'll consider anything that can authenticate via ldap), so that we could offer professors (and students) the ability to easily create their own course web-spaces, discussions lists, chat forums, etc....

Also, i've checked out the irc channel and will probably be there quite a bit -- i'm 'dort' there.

	be well,
