No, i like the name skolelinux much more than Debian Edu. But for international purposes perhaps it is better to show the Debian Basis. In Germany we had other schoolservers without linux on desktop.

Hilaire (skolelinux.fr or ofset) has startet to use squidguard with the packets included in skolelinux. (squid, squidguard and blacklist) He uses a blacklist server for schools in Toulouse. You need only the redirect line in squid.conf: redirect_program /usr/bin/squidGuard -c /etc/chastity/squidGuard-chastity.conf Benedict has startet to build a debian packet with a perl frontend (Webmin like). The goal is, to allow an admin tu choose different blacklist servers and to allow an automatic update of the squidguard database. Benedict (skolelinux.de) sent me the alpha version. If anybody is interessed to test and to develope with us, please send me an email. We need this in germany as soon as possible. The host based filter is realized by other german school servers with an iptable script. It enables to cut off the internet connection roomwise. So if a terminalserver has his thinclients in only one room, it is easy to open or close the internet connection. It would be nice to have something in the netgroup webmin tool.

The german team has planed every month one weekend. http://www.skolelinux.de/wiki/Arbeitstreffen This dates do not conflict with other linux events in germany.

Skolelinux provides free software from the server to the desktop, at school or at home. Skolelinux is in use in many schools worldwide. Furthermore, Skolelinux turns out to be over 60% cheaper than comparable proprietary solutions, thanks to Skolelinux's very efficient maintenance system. Skolelinux is based on Debian, a GNU/Linux distribution which is developed by a international community of volunteers. It also comes with a fully configured network out of the box, complete with Server/Tjener, Workstation, Terminalserver/Thinclientserver, Terminal/Thinclient. Skolelinux means: - easy installation - complete, preconfigured networking - stability and security - thinclient server, working out of the box - Clients/Workstations, working out of the box Skolelinux is free, stable, sustainable and helps the environment by using old computers: - no licence problems - save time with easy administration - quick security updates available - simple to upgrade - improved software package administration - old PCs can be used as thinclients - no commercial interest - no monopolies This makes Skolelinux the perfect IT choice for the education sector. Skolelinux can be downloaded for free from the internet. The project is open to all!

german skolelinux.de team
Dear Skoletuxe, dear Debian-Eduans, On behalf of the German Skolelinux team, we wish a happy new year to you all! We thank everyone who supported us in the year 2004. We have to mourn the passing of our friend Ralf Niemand who succumbed to his disease. The fight for free software in education has just begun for our project. It turns out more and more which important strategic role schools play. After having gained a lot of public interest during the passed year, it is time for us to focus on appilications as we change to Sarge. Our german [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailinglist has now more than 200 members and our newsletter more than 130. Skolelinux (Debian-Edu) addresses users in school and at home. Therefore we would like to advertise all the applications that are already available with Skolelinux (Debian-Edu) now, or will be available with Sarge. NX for example makes it possible to work quite easy from home. Some developers expect an increase of publicity for their own software through Skolelinux (Debian-Edu). Owing to Debian this is quite easy. All schoolars, all teachers and all administrative staff should be able to use Skolelinux (Debian-Edu) in their schools and in private. We still need more well documented examples from educational practice. Perhaps an international exchange programme between Skolelinux using schools could be started. No Debian developer in the world should be unaware of Skolelinux (Debian-Edu) by the end of 2005. And as this year ends, we shall have the 100th school using Skolelinux (Debian-Edu) in Germany. Our learning and working-weekends at Guetersloh shall create personal contacts by means of common learning and working, in order to boost the idea of Free Software, but also for social life. Let's have fun and achieve good results! During the next meeting at Guetersloh we'll squash bugs in Sarge according to our knowledge. All Debian Developers are most sincerly invited. These topics are planed: January 14 to 16: Usage of Mambo for Skolelinux (Debian-Edu) February 11 to 13: E-learning with Ilias and Skolelinux (Debian-Edu) March 18 to 20: Moodle as pedagogical-electronical teaching aid Several expert agreed to join us for these weekends and share their knowledge. The topics are of special interest for teachers. Please add yourself to our Wiki, if you would like to participate: http://www.skolelinux.de/wiki/ArbeitTreffen Join us! Regards/Viele Gruesse!

Skolelinux wins Linux New Media Award
dear Skoletuxe we published today the following: Press Release: Skolelinux is deeply grateful The Skolelinux project with its over 200 voluntary contributors, is deeply grateful for the Linux New Media Award for Best Newcomer Linux Distribution 2004. For us, this is a recognition of the enormous challenges faced by the schools, which -- with their very limited resources -- must offer a huge variety of subjects to many age groups. We often say: reuse of code is a tonic for reused computers. Our main goal is to provide computer programs in the pupils' native language for their journey on the information highway. The pupils should be given the freedom to create their own future by learning from source code written by expert programmers. To achieve widespread adoption, we insist on the following concept: a teacher with as little as 1-4 hours a week should be able to operate and maintain a network with 40-90 terminals and 300 user accounts. The work done by Skolelinux would be impossible without all the help from the Debian community, and all the free software developers who take back our freedom, securing the right to learn and create. The value of creation is far greater than the value of software purchased from a single vendor. We stand on the shoulders of giants - and this prize is a recognition of the team effort which has made Skolelinux what it is today. By Knut Yrvin 28th october 2004 Project manager Skolelinux Norway Presseerklärung --- Das Debian-Edu/Skolelinux - Projekt mit seinen über 200 Freiwilligen ist sehr dankbar für den "Linux New Media Award for Best Newcomer Linux Distribution 2004". Dieser Preis ist eine besondere Anerkennung für unsere Arbeit an Schulen, die mit sehr beschränkten Mitteln ein weitgefächertes Spektrum an Aufgaben für verschiedene Altersgruppen anbieten müssen. Wir sagen oft: Freie Software tut auch alten Computern gut. Das Hauptziel unseres internationalen Projektes ist, Computerprogramme für Schüler/-innen in deren Muttersprache zur Verfügung zu stellen, die sie auf ihrer Reise auf der Datenautobahn nutzen können. Die Schüler/-innen sollten die Freiheit haben, ihre eigene Zukunft zu gestalten, indem sie aus dem Quellcode lernen können, der von Programmierexperten geschrieben wurde. Die Maxime von Skolelinux ist: Ein Lehrer oder eine Lehrerin sollte nicht mehr als 1-4 Stunden pro Woche benötigen, um eine Netzwerk von 40 bis 90 Terminals und 300 Nutzern zu verwalten. Das Werk von Skolelinux wäre ohne die große Hilfe der Debiangemeinschaft und all den Entwicklern Freier Software nicht möglich. Sie geben uns die Freiheit zurück und sichern uns das Recht zu lernen und kreativ zu sein. Teure Software, die auch noch die Kreativität behindert, ist sicherlich weniger wert, als Freie Software, die zu Kooperation und zum Lernen anregt. Wir stehen auf den Schultern von Giganten - und dieser Preis ist eine Anerkennung der gemeinsamen Leistung, die aus Skolelinux das gemacht hat, was es heute ist.

resume athen
hi skoletuxe i wrote for the announce of my talk at athen a resume use it! Free Software in schools Skolelinux provides an excellent base. "Skole" is Norwegian for "school". So Skolelinux is a GNU/Linux which has been customized for schools. The project has been started in Norway in 2002 and later has been applied to German and other countries' languages, too. Skolelinux provides applications in more than 15 native languages, including Greek since some weeks ago. Skolelinux consists in about 900 packages of Free Software and is included with Debian-edu, a Custom Debian Distribution (CDD). So it belongs to the worldwide Debian Community with more than 1,000 official developers. Skolelinux is sustainable: installation, upgrading, maintenance and support over the internet is warranted today and in future times (esp. fast security fixes). Skolelinux is gratis. This means no cost for licences and no worries for teachers, pupils and parents. It contains a lot of educational software, office applications, browsers and email-clients. One of the main advantages of Skolelinux is the preconfigured scalable network with more than 15 services out of the box. So you can use it in primary schools, eg with 1 server and 30 thin clients or up to many servers and computers in universities. Skolelinux is easy to install and delivers a main-server, a thin client server and also a workstation on a single CD. Skolelinux reduces the needs for system administration and increases the computer availability while demonstrating the qualities of Free Software. Sharing software is sharing knowledge. Software has to be free! Please spread Skolelinux, the international schoolserver. Regards Kurt -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG Key ID E263 FCD4

Linuxtag 2009
Dear developers, dear friends, for your information: Press Release regarding strategic cooperation of three communities Declaration of cooperation: Linux4Afrika, Skolelinux.de and x2go As part of FreiOSS.net, Linux4Afrika had been collecting and overhauling used hardware since 2006, in order to send it to school projects in Africa. So far, several containers each filled with 200 pc, monitors, keyboards and mice has been sent to Tanzania and Mosambique. The next recipients will be schools in Kenia and Malawi. Skolelinux has been developed in Norway in 2002. It is based on Debian and by now used all over the world. Next to several local initiatives, so far, 2 German provinces, Hamburg and Rheinland-Pfalz, support Skolelinux as official linux solution for schools. X2go has been developed since 2006 and is used by Linux4Afrika. X2go is the terminal server solution that allows old hardware to work as thinclients with new software. Skolelinux schools are called to collect used hardware that can be send to Africa through Linux4Afrika. Beside these hardware donations it is planned to develop partnerships between Skolelinux and Linux4Afrika schools in Afrika and Europe. This is obvious as both projects are based on equal systems. X2go gives the opportunity for skolelinux schools to work from home on the pc at school using the internet. It also offers clients for Windows, Mac and Linux. Additionally x2go makes the exchange between different schools possible e.g. if they are working on a common project.

meeting 090812
dear Skoletuxe take time to read this summary from our IRC meeting 2009-08-12 Protocol debian edu meeting 2009-0812 Our meeting startet at UTC 19:06:10 and was joined by * danielsan = Daniel Hess * h01ger = Holger Levsen * k4x = Kurt Gramlich * finnarne = Finn-Arne Johansen, BzzWare AS * pere = Petter Reinholdtsen * sepski = Ronny Aasen * klausade = Klaus Ade johnstad ### Topic: status lenny Holger mentioned, that only 6 bugs are left! http://tinyurl.com/edulenny-releaseview Daniel did a netinst testinstall of mainserver+workstation+ltsp which was sucessful but he did not yet test the thinclient part. He reported that there is still a problem with the bootstrap of ldap for samba and samba in general which may also require a change in lwat (to add some more samba attributes for new users and hosts) Daniel has a test setup now and is working onthe samba issue. Finn-Arne asked about pdns-ldap, if we should have used strict method instead if tree-method. Ronny used tree mode when he initialy concived the powerdns way. since i needed zone transfers. Petter would love to have one object for each computer in LDAP. Petter tested the lenny install, and failed to find tjener as a host in LDAP using lwat. Holger: this bug blocks our release ;) ### Discussion about samba group maps follows. Ronny: this is something samba did in a different way in etch so it was working in etch Daniel: there are groupmaps for admins, jradmins, teachers and students now (debian-edu-config/ldap-tools/samba-debian-edu-admin), and adding groupmap information would be nice Ronny: the groups we provide out of the box are working. This is only for new groups made thru lwat / import and it works if you run the command i mentioned in the bug http://bugs.skolelinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1270 after making the groups. I have allways kept it identical for the user generated groups, and does not see a need to change it. With the exception of the groups that have special meanings: http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/groupmapping.html#WKURIDS Petter: we should avoid regressions if this was working in etch. Finn-Arne: I'll look into it. ### PXE Short question about PXE: Petter asked Holger: did you fix the PXE stuff with DVDs? Holger: pere, no ### Discussion about test releases: Kurt asked: Who is able to do this? Holger: ftpteam and drift Petter: gautehk, ronny, pere, olea, herman, lis, joeyh, holger, builder, akai, werner, ragnar, jever, finnarne Ronny: Wording the announcement is the main work. There may be other bugs we do not know about. And the announcement should mention the blocking bugs to avoid duplicates. Kurt will help to draft the announcement, Holger and Daniel will help too. Petter proposed an example: https://init.linpro.no/pipermail/skolelinux.no/linuxiskolen/2007-May/017697.html ### Topic: developer gathering october Finn-Arne is waiting for an answer of FRISK. His company will sponsor some NOK for gathering if it is not the 3rd weekend in october. At the same time there should happen a new general assembly and elections of the board of FRISK. Petter proposed to use the wikipage: http://www.friprogramvareiskolen.no/Gathering to collect the possible date. So everybody how likes to join the meeting should put his name and his available weekend in october in that page. ### Topic: other buisness Sponsoring Holger to travel to Taiwan in September Holger should ask at FRISK board. ### Topic: Next IRC Meeting Next meeting will be at Monday, 14 of september Kurt closed our meeting at 20:13:02 Regards/AmicaLinuxement/Saludos/Viele Gruesse!

Skolelinux in Linux User
dear Skolelinux friends, I am happy to announce: our new release is in the German Linux User Magazin. It is on the DVD and there is also an artikel about our project: Page 12: "Debian for pupils and teachers" The article is written by the editor in chief Joerg Luther. The magazin will be available tomorrow and so Skolelinux will be widely spread in Germany. Regards/AmicaLinuxement/Saludos/Viele Gruesse!

I take your question as a chance for me personaly to say: many many thanks for the hard work to bring skolelinux to Lenny. the development products of Rheinland-Pfalz Project has to go the normal way of Debian packages ;-) we are working on it, but as you know, it will need more time as estimated ;-) > > - Jonas thanks for the helpfull question.
