  • Action: July 4, 2012 - Looking for information and evaluating the adaptation of the proposal



Adjustment of the proposal

  1. See Re: Mageia 3 LTS to Educacional Linux 5.0 - Brasil/MEC/UFPR/ Postby macxi » Aug 10th, '12
  2. The Feature:Educational Distro LTS about "Brazilian Education Linux" was excluded from my proposal because, Initially is necessary to create a Mageia Education for all languages. Only after this Mageia General Education will be suitable for Brazil, in the future.
  3. The proposal to create a Mageia LTS (long term support) require much more structure, I do not know how make possible, so this aspect of my proposal is being excluded.
  4. The proposal to create a "Mageia Education", will be limited to adding educational software packages to the repository's official Mageia (see Mageia Educational Project - Edu SIG), and add others package, like Klavaro (see bug 2682), or "userful-multiplier" (see Bug 6960), in the official repository Mageia, because it is a useful package, to be a low cost solution for educational projects.
  5. This proposal aims to create a version of "Mageia Education," with tools to be useful for schools.



  • Note:
  1. This proposal is not mine. I just submitted a proposal that already exists, which is the "Mageia educational project", started on November 9, 2011, with the contribution of Marja, Andre999, Matteo, Obgr, Anaselli, Dieter, Malo.
  2. According to page Edu_Sig, the "Mageia educational project" aims to:
  3. This a proposal to improve educational programs in Mageia.
  4. The purpose of this page is to present a list of educational packages that can be imported in Mageia, or that are already in.
  5. The project could grow as follows:
    1. add missing educational programs
    2. group educational programs in specialized meta-packages (such as math, chemical, primary school, etc)
    3. build one (or more) live cd -or improve draklive specs to make it buildable- to give to schools.
  6. Another proposal was presented in the Forum Mageia (see Mageia 3 LTS to Educacional Linux 5.0 - Brasil/MEC/UFPR/C3SL, in Jun 16th, '12), which was modified to fit the available resources.
