DebianEdu Announced

Posted by michael on from the apt-get-install-ucblogo dept.

Bill Kendrick writes "There's been an announcement on debian-devel-announce about a new subproject, DebianEdu, which "aims to make Debian the best distribution available for educational use." As a developer with some stuff in Debian Jr., I'm happy to see some focus on an honest-to-goodness education project!"

  1. Mandrake all over again? by h4mmer5tein · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Hmmmm, this follows on from the earlier posting of the interview with Gael Duval of Mandrake who said
    "GD: For one year, we had a so-called "World Class Management" team that left us in a very bad financial situation, and engaged the company in ventures (such as e-learning) that we should never have been involved with. But that's all part of our history now, so I'd prefer to not dwell too much on that. "

    I wonder if this is the kind of project he was talking about and if Debian have taken on board the Mandrake experiance.
