Hi sprints team, in accordance with sunweaver and h01ger, I would like to organise a 1-2 day sprint of the Debian Edu team, to take place during the MiniDebConf in Hamburg, and scheduled for 18th and probably 17th of May, 2018. The current list of participants includes: * natureshadow@ (myself, DD process approved, keyring update outstanding ;)) * sunweaver@ * holger@ * schweer * tg@ There are some goals we talked about in advance: * Look into bugs with the install media which broke the standard installation after one of the last stretch point releases, to prevent those for buster * Talk about an agenda for Debian Edu and the needs of German schools * Some other work in preparation for the buster development cycle As you might have heard, the community and "product" (as in support, etc.) for Debian Edu / Skolelinux i nGermany has moved to Teckids e.V., the free software youth organisation, and there is need for coordination between developers and the community of users. A subgroup of these people will also work on packaging Movim, a decentralised social network, for Debian. This will not happen during this sprint necessarily, but the projects overlap, especially since Movim is intended to be used in educational projects in Germany. The upstream developer of Movim, Timothée Jaussoin (edhelas) will attend the MiniDebconf and join in these efforts. Due to the relevance of the work for educational use, and probably parts being packaged within the Debian Edu packaging team, I would like to put this into the sprint planning nonetheless. The location is set as we use the framework provided by the MiniDebConf, also organised, among others, by h01ger. Travel costs, right now, amount to 287 € for tg and me (together) and, if his atendance can be covered, around 200 € for edhelas. We booked this through Teckids e.V., but there frankly is not any budget yet for Debian Edu. We hope to change that quickly, but right now, having travel costs covered would be very helpful. Cheers and thank you, Nik -- Dominik George (1. Vorstandsvorsitzender, pädagogischer Leiter) Teckids e.V. - Erkunden, Entdecken, Erfinden. https://www.teckids.org/
