Release manual for the Debian Edu / Skolelinux "Terra" 3.0r1 release
 http://maintainer.skolelinux.no/debian-edu-doc/

Note to the press and general public: Debian Edu 3.0r1 is not released yet. This wiki page is used to develop the press release for when we do so. So if you can read text below, consider the information there as not final.

This version copies the parts of the 3.0r0 PressRelease that are still valid and are worth repeating. Some new things had been added, but this still needs to be expanded and fixed, maybe reworked completely.

* Oslo - November XX., 2007

After four month of development the fist update to the 3.0 version of Skolelinux, released earlier this year, is finally available. This is a community release with comprehensive support from regional and national projects in Germany, Spain, France, Greece and Norway. The Skolelinux project is now a part of Debian under the name Debian-Edu. Several other projects have contributed additional functionality to Skolelinux, tailored for national needs. Skolelinux now supports 50 countries.

News in the Skolelinux 3.0r1 release

  • Updated release documentation
  • New mailinglist for announcements (like new releases or updated packages)
  • Fixes for bugs that where only known after 3.0r0

About Skolelinux

Skolelinux is the Debian Edu project's Custom Debian Distribution. It is installed in a great number of schools in Norway, Germany, France, and other countries. Municipalities and Commercial Service Providers run Skolelinux across multiple schools, operated and maintained centrally. Service providers report that the "lowfat clients" require half the maintenance cost of other desktop alternatives.

The next milestone of Skolelinux development will be to merge the Debian-based LinEx distro into Debian Edu[2]. Currently LinEx is used by more than 250,000 students and public employees in the region of Extremadura in Spain.
