I'm on debian/unstable (desktop and laptop) and confirms that openboard is working, not perfect, but good.
With the compile-steps from Mike, I could compile all the openboard-packages, after installing a lot of dependencies (I saved the list).
openboard - Interactive White Board Application
openboard-common - Interactive White Board Application (common files)
openboard-dbgsym - debug symbols for openboard
openboard-fonts-nonfree - Interactive White Board Application (non-free fonts)
As a electric teacher in corana-times, I'm using openboard everyday as my main tool to teach.
Once in a while there is a crash, but after a quick restart, nothing is lost.
I would like to use this also after they find a vaccin against corona.
Then I would like to use it more often to evaluate papers, instead of printing them (saving the trees).
Also bought a wacom tablet to draw sketches, graphics, ... The wacom pen-top is melting fast ;-)
So, it would be great to have this software in debian repositories.
My software-knowledge doesn't go further than some hobby-programming on arduino.
I'm willing to donate some developping-time ?
Keep up the good work !
