(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...

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.
