(προωθήστε το όπου νομίζετε επιπλέον) Με λίγα λόγια... Οι Γερμανικές σχολικές διανομές αποφασίζουν συμφωνίες για συνεργασία ώστε να αποφύγουν τον κατακερματισμό της αγοράς. Η Γερμανική αγορά είναι από τις πιο δυνατές στο χώρο του ελ/λακ, και ειδικά στα σχολεία κάνει πολύ δυνατές κινήσεις. Από τα χαρακτηριστικά τα οποία αναγράφονται (LDAP, ACLs, user administration, κλπ) δεν υπάρχει τίποτε το ιδιαίτερα "γερμανικό" (άλλωστε το Skolelinux είναι πλέον παγκόσμια προσπάθεια), και όλα μπορούν κάλιστα να λειτουργήσουν με λίγες ως καθόλου αλλαγές στα ελληνικά σχολεία... Κώστας ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: schoolserver meeting in nürnberg, germany, Dec 17 Date: Παρασκευή 23 Δεκέμβριος 2005 22:44 From: Andreas Schuldei <andreas [ at ] schuldei [ dot ] org> To: debian-edu [ at ] lists [ dot ] debian [ dot ] org hi! I participated in a schoolserver cooperation meeting in germany on the last weekend. (Petter was also invited but could not make it). Christian Kόkler from the german skolelinux team was also there. The other schoolservers prepresented were: OSS (open school server, ex SuSE), Arktur, IServ, and the Tirol-server (not sure which name it really has). The overall goal of the meeting was to arrive at a unified generic layout for LDAP, Filesystem and user-administration, and find ways to cooperate in other ways like come up with common black/whilelists for internet filtering, The important pay-off of cooperating is besides code sharing also to reach the marketshare at which school book publishing houses see it as feasable and perhaps even economical sensable to release educational software also for linux. If we fragment the linux market by haveing N different implementations they would have a hard time to do so. We talked about LDAP (schema, ACLs) and LDAP buissness logic as well as frontends and how we could cooperate on those. The overall (cautious) agreement was to cooperate. People also talked about the layout about the filesystem hirarchy layout (mostly for better windows-client/samba integration), to which i could not contribute a lot. I just found it confusing. The proposed layout will show up in a wiki soon. i will point you to it then. other issues discussed were: internet access control mechanism, central hardare data collection at install time, import format for students/users from the school-admin-software, usage of a central place to host development and cooperation tools like mailinglists, wiki, svn,..., webaccess whitelists/blacklists, imaging and restore of many machines. there is a german protocol available which is more verbose on all issues. is someone interested to translate it into english, so it can be posted here? (it is still preliminary) there should be a follow up meeting soon. perhaps during debconf in may. :-( It is entirely possible to attend even for non-german speaking people. i am told it should be no problem to talk english. Concluding i found the athmosphere at the meeting much more encouraging and open then expected. i hope this works out well. /andreas -------------------------------------------------------
