We will make an effort to contribute to BOFs most important to Ubuntu Education - either by dividing them up amongst us, or attending them jointly. === Missing Specifications === 1. Edubuntu Configurations * Existing : Current Edubuntu "bundle / package" is for Primary Schools * Required : Need Edubuntu "bundle / packge" for Seconday Schools * Required : Need Edubuntu "bundle / packge" for University 2. Edubuntu-Product-and-Add-On * Does it make sense to see Edubuntu as: Ubuntu base + Edubuntu Add-On * Would this approach assist for the 3 bundle / packages: * Edubuntu Primary * Edubuntu Secondary * Edubuntu University * Would this approach assist with the single CD size constraints 3. Ubuntu-Education-Network-Integration * {bring requested features in here} 4. Edubuntu-Desktop-Applications * {bring requested applications in here} 5. Edubuntu-Web-Applications * {bring requested applications in here} 6. Ubuntu-Education-Content * {expand this} === Concepts to Promote / Explain at UDS === * Which features requested by Education apply to all Ubuntu audiences * ''Can we drive these features upstream to Ubuntu ?'' * Take advantage of a bigger development team * Feature Benefits become available to all variants * Ubuntu and Education Community Space * We are creating an Ubuntu and Education Community Space'' * This space will host: 1. user discussions on '''current use of Ububuntu in Education''' * Ubuntu * Edubuntu * Kubuntu * Xubuntu 2. '''3rd party education applications''' in current use by the community * where to get them * some unofficial guidelines to usage * forums for unofficial peer support 3. '''3rd party education tools''' in current use by the community * where to get them * some unofficial guidelines to usage * forums for unofficial peer support 4. '''Content Sites''' in current use by the community * where to get them * some unofficial guidelines to usage * forums for unofficial peer support * This '''unofficial space allows people to share and discuss and test''': * broader than of current *buntu bundles * outside of official Ubuntu policy * usage is on an "as is basis" * licence issues are up to the individual * outside of official policy or blessing of: * Canonical * Ubuntu * Edubuntu * This space allows us to '''identify Applications, Tools or Content''' that prove to be: * Broadly adopted * Well supported * Of significant benefit to education * Compliant with our licence and philosophy * Applications, Tools or Content that fit the criteria will have a chance to '''move upstream''' through a formal process i.e. * consider bundling * consider integration * consider partnerships === BOFs not to be missed (participate) === '''Processes, Community, Web Infrastructure (*buntu)''' *
