Since it has been somewhat calm for some time here, I felt it would be time for another status update, on what is currently going on in the Fedora Education efforts.
First of all, I wanted to thank Jeremy, Jordan and Rahul for their replies and the warm words on my last post. There hasn't been a large response, though. Work will continue and we'll see, how this evolves. I'll keep you posted.
There has been a kind of progress on the Fedora Education Math spin in the last time, even if we weren't able to do some things due to the infrastructure downtime (by the way: thank you all, who were involved in resolving these issues - I believe you're doing great work!). For example, we got the spin approved by all necessary bodies - Spin SIG, Board, Rel-Eng - and have now a feature page. There are still some things, which need to be fixed on this page, but I'm going to work on this soonish (sorry, I was recently somehow short of time). Hopefully, we'll be able to have a preview of the spin ready in the next weeks.
I've also been working with Greg DeKoenigsberg and Jim Gettys and getting Fedora on the XO. This is one of the projects, which had been started after the foundation of the OLPC SIG. We're not yet ready, but there is also Daniel Drake's effort to make Fedora run from a SD card on the XO. Please see his blog post for further details.
So far, the news... seems to be again the place to invite the interested ones of you to join the Fedora Education (we've now also an IRC channel - just head over to #fedora-edu and join us!) and the OLPC SIG. Come, get on board!
