Clear message
Ideas
Artwork
- Plymouth text-fallbacks
- * Have both text and vga16 logos for fallback on non-KMS hardware
- Split edubuntu-artwork package to edubuntu-art, edubuntu-livecd and edubuntu-settings
- * Migrate the slideshow to ubiquity-slideshow-edubuntu and have it merged inside the same source branch as the others (ubiquity-slideshow)
LTSP
- Edubuntu remote network installer
- * Basically like Live LTSP but booting the DVD, letting you install more computers from a single DVD
- Quiet down PXELinux
- * Not really Edubuntu-specific but a good idea generally, would be interesting to poke upstream about it
- Split LTSP packages so that scripts is not in main package
- * LP: #xxxxxx (that'll make lamont happy ;))
Installer
- Remove less fonts at end of the installation (takes quite long currently)
- * Find a way to optimize removing of a lot of software (session/talk with Colin about that at UDS-M)
- Move our current post-install scripts to actual ubiquity code
- * Get them translated
* Have them use nice screenshots to show the various options
Packaging/seeds work
- Sugar

- Migrate Edubuntu packages to bzr branches ("they already are", lp:ubuntu/edubuntu-artwork for example with the new branch-based package management)
- OpenLDAP/Kerberos integration (server team stuff initially but then to be used for edubuntu) (see mail to edubuntu-devel from Velli-Matti Lindu)
- Kiwix / Wikipedia
Translations
- Edubuntu-specific translations (like ubiquity-slideshow)
- * For that specific case, it'll be solved by merging our slideshow with the "upstream" package (ubiquity-slideshow)
Wiki
Game listings and details (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/AppTemplate)
Community
Review and consolidate the current education groups in launchpad (https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/education-launchpad-groups)
- Encourage use of scripts in bzr script repository, also documentation of this and eventual packaging
Actions
- Stéphane (stgraber) to schedule something with Colin (or a beer ? ;)) at UDS to discuss optimizing the installer
- Jonathan (highvoltage) Group above tasks into sessions for UDS
