Possible Edu-SIG Meeting
by Sebastian Dziallas 29 Feb '08

29 Feb '08

Hi everybody, I just wanted to suggest a meeting on IRC related to the educational efforts of Fedora. Further details are yet to be announced, and this is just a first idea. So, what do you think? And how many people are here willing to participate in such a possible meeting (it makes IMHO not very much sense to have a meeting on IRC with only two people...)? Sebastian

Hello Everyone!

Hello Everyone, I am Brandon Thomas, a Systems Developer & Web Administrator. I had a few years of experience in working in a school district while I was still in High School and the district I worked in was really reliant on MS software. I'm interested in this group to see if there isn't a type of movement we can start within the U.S. Educational system to shift them to Fedora (or other linux distros) to reduce costs for districts and the whole educational system itself. Does anyone have access to any financial information in regards to a districts costs in usage of M$FT products annually? I think it would be very interesting to see a break down of how much a district uses for all of their M$FT licenses (Office, the OS, user-licenses, Server OS's, etc.) Here's to the hoping of a successful SIG!

Education SIG
by Sebastian Dziallas 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

Hi everybody, now, I am able to announce the establishment of an Education SIG. I have created a wiki page, which is currently placed here [1]. Again, I would like to encourage everybody, who is interested in education to join us on fedora-education-list and to add his or her name to the list in the wiki. In the near future, one topic might be, how to go on with educational work (e.g. in connection with K12LTSP). But this is only one part, so feel free to join and discuss. Best Regards, Sebastian Dziallas [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Education

Education SIG

Hi everybody, I wanted to welcome all those, who have recently subscribed to this list. Currently, there is not so much traffic here and it's quite calm, but maybe we can change this in the (near) future. As you may have noticed, I have submitted a spin proposal to release engineering and recently made a suggestion for an Education SIG [1]. I would like to ask everybody, who is subscribed to this list and interested in education to notify me and / or post here on this list. I have already received e-mails off the list from interested folks and I'd encourage you to do so, if you should have further questions. Maybe Warren could also get in touch with me, so that we can proceed with the work on this soon. Sebastian [1] https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-February/msg00624.ht…

Hi everybody, I have recently posted on Fedora Development List a proposal [1] concerning the establishment of an education SIG. Currently, I am investigating, how many people would really be interested and would like to join such a SIG. So, if you're interested, please let me know. Best Regards, Sebastian Dziallas [1] https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-February/msg00624.ht…
