Edubuntu community improvements
During the last development cycle, the Edubuntu community evolved quite a bit. First of all by getting a refreshed governance body,
cleaning up the existing teams and trying to get the community more involved and expand it.
The idea of this session is to look back at what happened over the past 6 months and see how we can improve for the 6 to come.

Whiteboard
= UDS Session - 12 May 2010 =
Blueprint: https:/
Agenda:
1. What happened during the last 6 months? What improvements do we need in our
community and what can we do for the maverick cycle?
2. Edubuntu Advocacy team and getting educators / non-technical users involved
3. Check existing LP teams and whether it needs re-organising
== What's been happening the last 6 months ==
* New Edubuntu Council (6 new members), Edubuntu teams are now owned by
Edubuntu Council
* We now have regular weekly meetings (every Wednesday)
* We have an Edubuntu package set where edubuntu-dev team members can upload to
Suggestions:
* Feed aggregators from user blogs on edubuntu.org
== Edubuntu Advocacy Team ==
* Maybe a feed on our website for users/teachers?
* Edubuntu section for Ubuntu Forums?
* Bring ubuntu-education list to Edubuntu umbrella
* Edubuntu meetings not ideal for teachers, perhaps a seperate kind of meeting
for them?
* A lot of feedback is already given and available, we should check for existing
platforms for educator communication and perhaps present Edubuntu there
* Facebook group specifically for teachers/
* Page for tips and what do do with Edubuntu... ability for teachers to add
their own tips and howto pages with educational resources
== LP Teams ==
Currently Edubuntu teams edubuntu-council is member of:
1 Edubuntu Advocacy
-# Edubuntu Artwork - Should merge with edubuntu-dev and ubuntu-artwork
2 Edubuntu Bugsquad
3 Edubuntu Developers
4 Edubuntu Documentation Team
-# Edubuntu Handbook Contributors - Should merge with edubuntu-doc
-# Edubuntu iTalc devel team - Should merge with edubuntu-dev
5 Edubuntu Members
-# Edubuntu Menu Editor development team - Should merge with edubuntu-dev
6 Edubuntu Website
== Edubuntu-dev PPA ==
* Make stable release versions for big packages like Gcompris available
* Make users aware of PPA
== Edubuntu Menu Editor ==
== Get our users/partners to tell us what they use ==
* Ask Guadalinex/
currently using and aren't in Ubuntu so we can package them and have them on
the DVD.
* Guadalinex will soon have statistics on application usage on 10.04
== Edubuntu target market ==
* Edubuntu is currently targeted at lower-resourced environments, mostly
primary and secondary schools that seek a turn-key solution.
* Tertiary environments tend to have dedicated sysadmins and IT staff that
will tailor Ubuntu to their needs and install only required packages.
* Tertiary related packages would fall in the scope of being maintained by
Edubuntu but not necessarilly included on the Edubuntu disc
* Some of the server-side tools, such as moodle and schooltool may be
appropriate for tertiary use, it will be included for server task.
tertiary use
Meta-package for tertiary use is being discussed at:
