openSUSE Education openSUSE in schools and educational projects
Welcome at openSUSE Education
This is a place for Educators and Technologists who use openSUSE.
Our goal is to support schools using openSUSE, create and describe additional software-packages for educational projects and create an "add-on" CD for the regular openSUSE distribution. As this is a community driven project, we need you and your help to bring openSUSE into the schools.
As a community driven project, everyone is invited to join and help us. This project is not meant to in any way create a duplication of effort to what is already on openSUSE, but rather to enhance it more for Educators and Technologists.

6 JUNE 2012 - please mark this day in your calendar, as this is the World IPv6 day. This day is meant to call attention to the fact that IPv4 addresses have run out and the web has to move on to IPv6. openSUSE-Education will be part of this initiative, joining the ranks of Google, Yahoo and Facebook in making sure its infrastructure is IPv6 capable on June 6th.
The openSUSE-Education team is working hard to bring IPv6 services up. They started a few weeks ago and plan to be ready on June 6th, the World IPv6 day. On that day, all external services will be reachable via both IPv4 and IPv6. This includes this webpage, rsync and also the Email system.

Starting with the release of openSUSE 11.3, we changed our own release cycle. We can use the openSUSE-Buildservice now for building not only packages but also a complete Live-Media - so whenever we add a new package to the media or fix something inside a package, the openSUSE-Buildservice automatically starts a new build and finished by upgrading the resulting ISO-Image automatically.
So if you want to help us testing (or just want to use always the latest ISO), just use this URL: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Education/images/iso/
Tested ISO-Images are also placed here: http://www.opensuse-education.org/download/ISOs/
We've decided to start with a new moodle webpage to collect online courses about openSUSE, openSUSE in Education and other interesting stuff for teachers and students.
- For people with an account on this page: you can log in using your credentials.
- For people without an existing login: don't worry - just create a new moodle login! All you need is your Email address.
So let's start moodle'ing on http://www.opensuse-education.org/moodle/!
The openSUSE Project is running a Community Week from May 11 through May 17 and the openSUSE-Education is part of it. Learn how to get involved with the openSUSE(-Education) Project and become a contributor to openSUSE(-Education). You can help promote the use of Linux everywhere and help make openSUSE the best Linux distro for new and experienced Linux users.
You don’t have to be a developer to participate. We’re looking for all kinds of contributors: writers, translators, artists, teachers, and (of course) developers to help shape openSUSE in Education and the openSUSE Linux distribution.
