DebianEdu is about improving Debian to make it the best distribution for educational use.

The coordination of this project happens on debian-edu@lists.debian.org. You can subscribe to it by using the form available here (public archives of the list are at the same place) : http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/

You can also use the gmane.org news or webforum gateway. nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.education http://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.education

How to help

You can help in many ways :

  • package and maintain the software listed in ?DebianEduToPackage

  • package and maintain any software listed in [http://www.ofset.org Ofset] that is not yet in Debian

  • sponsor non-Debian developers who are packaging education related software
  • integrate existing external packages into Debian : ?DebianEduToIntegrate

  • help with DebianInstaller to get a friendly installer for people with limited computer-skills

  • write good documentation for the education related software
  • (...)

Metapackages

  • ?EducationAstronomy

  • ?EducationBiology

  • ?EducationChemistry

  • ?EducationDesktopGnome

  • ?EducationDesktopKde

  • ?EducationElectronics

  • ?EducationServices

Feel free to propose enhancements to those metapackages on the mailing list.

Goals

  • Classify and package all free software related to education.
  • Write documentation to explain how to use the various software (in the educational context).
  • EyeCandiness aims at beautifying DebianEdu by creating eye candy graphics for it (contact: SurajKumar)

  (Q: How about Localization / Internationalization?)

This Debian sub-project should collaborate with many other entities which are interested in free software for education : <a href="http://www.google1.net">Google&#25490;&#21517;</a> <a href="http://www.dnp.cn">&#25628;&#32034;&#24341;&#25806;&#25490;&#21517;</a> <a href="http://www.datahf.com/">&#25968;&#25454;&#24674;&#22797;</a> <a href="http://www.amxcn.com/">&#25968;&#25454;&#20462;&#22797;</a> <a href="http://comdata.51.net/">&#30828;&#30424;&#25968;&#25454;&#24674;&#22797;</a> <a href="http://googleactfor.51.net">Google&#20195;&#29702;</a> <a href="http://googleseo.51.net">&#25628;&#32034;&#24341;&#25806;&#20248;&#21270;</a> <a href="http://googlecn.51.net">Google&#25512;&#24191;</a> <a href="http://googlerank.51.net">Google&#25490;&#21517;</a> <a href="http://googledmoz.51.net">&#32593;&#31449;&#25512;&#24191;</a> <a href="http://conjecture.51.net">&#34394;&#25311;&#20027;&#26426;</a> <a href="http://ticketcn.51.net">&#26426;&#31080;</a> <a href="http://dmozchina.51.net">&#32593;&#31449;&#22823;&#20840;</a> <a href="http://chinadmoz.51.net">&#32593;&#31449;&#20043;&#23478;</a> <a href="http://baidudmoz.51.net">&#30334;&#24230;&#22823;&#20840;</a> <a href="http://dmoznet.51.net">&#32593;&#22336;&#20043;&#23478;</a> <a href="http://dmozcn.51.net">&#25628;&#32034;&#22823;&#20840;</a> -- please add the links again, someone replaced them with spam --
