- Who can write the summary?
20 minutes after the begin of the meeting I joined it and so the summary writer was found
In the meantime it was explained by sepski, why a summary is so important: '... the log is allways put on the wiki. But the summaries are posted on the mailinglists in addition to the wikies. and of course the summaries only contains the meat of the meeting and not all the discussion.'So the summary is very important to let those not present know what was discussed here.
- Status of press coverage
- Pere suggested that we should try to merge the different lists of press coverage into one list, and join forces to keep that list updated.
The Lists can be found here: http://wiki.skolelinux.no/Presse which links to the other lists too. If someone can merge and redirect http://wiki.skolelinux.de/Presse/Texte into http://wiki.skolelinux.no/Presse it would be great and perhaps translate it to english.

- Preparing for release 3.0r1
- 3.1 rough schedule for rc1
There is a roadmap here: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/roadmap It consists of the points made by pere some time ago in an e-mail to debian-edu@l.d.o danielsan remarks that it would be nice, if people could add their points and claim points they are working on. pere asked, if anyone is interested in collecting windows installers of free software for the live DVD images like openoffice.org, GIMP and so on. danielsan thinks that we should create a subpage and list software with direct links to the downloads there. If enough gets in, it may be worth including it. jever asked if one can have something like a portal server as an install profile. winnie and sepski said that the barebone install profile is the right place for such services. pere wants to make a new release (r1) at the and of this month. So the the roadmap has to be checked, the bugzilla for verifying new bugs and fixing of verified bugs has to be done. While finnarne has made it clear that he very rarely look at the bugzilla bugs, so we should not wait for that to happen. So winnie looked over the bugzilla bugs of lwat and he thinks some of them are closed now. danielsan would like to see lwat with updated german translation and offers to add it if. Overall it is docu missing as winnie remarks.
- 3.1 rough schedule for rc1
- version number and code name for the next release
- r1 have no new name and lenny is to far ahead to bother with it now. So we should move this to a meeting after r1 and put it on hold until we start working on lenny stuff.
- developing a development strategy for lenny
- danielsan said that last meeting it was sugested to handle this point at the meeting in Extremadura. pere would like us to start building lenny images as soon as r1 is out, from our own repository. This will give us working images while we spend time to reduce the amount of packages in our repository. h01ger want us to not build from our own repository, in the belief that it will make us more focused on fixing stuff in lenny. sepski said that this is a good plan for integration into debian, but it makes it harder for non DD's to test their stuff since they need a sponsored upload first. The further discussion will be made in extremadura.
- 5.1 cd builds
- sepski thinks that he can spend some time on it.

- Extremadura 2007
There is a wikipage url where people can sign up/mark the dates that fits the best: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Extremadura2007 winnie collects info from everyone about when they _can't_ join, and then try to find such holes.
Common CDD tools (AndreasTille)
- andreas is working on converting debian-edu to use the common CDD tools, trying to converge the different CDDs to use a common set of tools. pere believes this is a good idea. Andreas' strategy so far is to take the debian-edu tools, remove the debian-edu specific hardcoded stuff and make it more configurable. Next convert our packages to use the new tools. The positive effect is that we can get help from other cdds to maintain and improve the tools. The negative effect is that it become slightly harder to modify the tools (have to send then through the cdd-tools maintainer). Luckily, we can all become part of the cdd project and do the work directly there, so it is not a big problem.
- 7.1 Separating Debian-Edu specific data from general code (partly done) 7.2 Usage of SVN (trunk?)
- pere believes it is ok to work on trunk, but only if we are careful.
