Linuxtag 2009
Dear developers, dear friends,
for your information:
Press Release regarding strategic cooperation of three communities
Declaration of cooperation: Linux4Afrika, Skolelinux.de and x2go
As part of FreiOSS.net, Linux4Afrika had been collecting and
overhauling used hardware since 2006, in order to send it to
school projects in Africa. So far, several containers each
filled with 200 pc, monitors, keyboards and mice has been sent
to Tanzania and Mosambique. The next recipients will be schools
in Kenia and Malawi.
Skolelinux has been developed in Norway in 2002. It is based on
Debian and by now used all over the world. Next to several
local initiatives, so far, 2 German provinces, Hamburg and
Rheinland-Pfalz, support Skolelinux as official linux solution
for schools.
X2go has been developed since 2006 and is used by Linux4Afrika.
X2go is the terminal server solution that allows old hardware
to work as thinclients with new software.
Skolelinux schools are called to collect used hardware that can
be send to Africa through Linux4Afrika. Beside these hardware
donations it is planned to develop partnerships between
Skolelinux and Linux4Afrika schools in Afrika and Europe. This
is obvious as both projects are based on equal systems. X2go
gives the opportunity for skolelinux schools to work from home
on the pc at school using the internet. It also offers clients
for Windows, Mac and Linux. Additionally x2go makes the
exchange between different schools possible e.g. if they are
working on a common project.
