LoCo Teams and Education : How to help with Ubuntu and the Education Sector
Ubuntu Education Programme : Introduction
RichardWeideman is the Education Programme Manager for Ubuntu. He is a dedicated head focusing on our engagement with the Education Sector and the requirements of this niche sector.
Richard is the 1st line contact for all Education enquiries across all Ubuntu variants:
- Ubuntu
- Edubuntu
- Kubuntu
- Xubuntu
Education users and stakeholders are interacting with the whole range of Ubuntu products under various academic and education support scenarios. Although they may be using different installs, configurations and desktop interfaces, there are two areas in which they all share common issues:
- Below the Desktop
- All the Ubuntu variants are based on the core Ubuntu operating system
- Above the Desktop
- Education Tools
- Education Applications
- Education Content
- Open Source in Education issues
Ubuntu and Education : Community
We are currently building a community around Ubuntu and Education.
We are looking to engage the various users and stakeholders in the Education Sector a way which:
- brings them into our community according to their needs
- assists them to find guidance and solutions for their specific requirements
- allows them to share their learnings
- and helps them to contribute towards an integrated and comprehensive end-to-end Open Source Education solution which is widely adopted and well supported.
Ubuntu Education Programme and the LoCo Teams
Education Contact for each LoCo
We would like to ask each loco group to nominate an Education Contact for their territory, to:
act as the 1st line Education Contact for their LoCo, and to channel requests to Richard
- to be listed as the education contact for their territory
- on this page
- on their loco page
- on the Ubuntu Education community space which is being built
The nominated person would not need any Education background or experience; just a willingness and the patience to field enquiries from education people, and to introduce them to the Ubuntu and Education community resources and contacts.
Please contact JonoBacon or RichardWeideman if you would be willing to volunteer !
