New Meeting & Further Progress
Hi all,
I wanted to give you some kind of update (including announcements), what
is happening here right now, as well as in other efforts related to
education.
===
1. The most recent announcement outside the Education SIG, but still
related to education, might have been the foundation of the Fedora OLPC SIG.
Greg DeKoenigsberg announced the OLPC SIG here (for all those, who
haven't noticed yet ;)
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2008-July/msg00009.html
And here is the wiki page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OLPC
I applaud the OLPC project's efforts concerning education, including
those related to the Sugar desktop environment and would like to
encourage everyone, who is interested, to join this SIG (you'll meet me
there, too :).
===
2. Lets move to some of our internal topics: I would like to announce a
new meeting for...
tomorrow, Friday, July 25 at 1800 UTC on #fedora-meeting
If you're interested, please join us there. Further information can be
found here:

3. Our Fedora Education Math Spin... there are also some news concerning
this topic!
Finally, we moved away from our former plans to release a spin for F9.
We're now focused on publishing a spin for F10. But that doesn't mean,
that you'll have to wait until the final release of Fedora 10!
The spin (or more specifically the kickstart file) is already in the GIT
repository. If you want to have a look at it, any suggestions are
welcome. Here is the link:
http://git.fedoraproject.org/git/spin-kickstarts.git?p=spin-kickstarts.gi...
We're going to release a preview spin based on F10 Alpha very soon! So
stay tuned... work is still in progress! :)
By the way: I created also a Feature Page for the spin, which is
necessary to get it approved by FESCo later. It is located here:

Please come up with any ideas or suggestions you may have!
Thanks!
Best Regards,
Sebastian Dziallas
