Here's your chance! Join us for the upcoming weekly Fedora Sugar meetings in #fedora-olpc starting tomorrow, Dec 31 on 1500 UTC.

We're going to talk about packaging (especially Sugar Activities) and all kinds of stuff that helps us making the F13 Sugar experience better.

You don't know how to package things for Fedora? Don't worry, we've a Fedora Classroom session coming up on Jan 6 - more details here.

This post has been due for quite some time now, but I finally got to writing it. This is about teachers and the tools they're using. Mel Chua has attended the K12 Open Minds conference some time ago and transcribed a session on open source software teachers recommended. From this list, I've composed a wiki page, listing which applications have already been packaged and which not. The latter one gives us about twenty apps that are currently not in Fedora. So, what's next?

• Just go here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/K12_Open_Minds
• Look for an unpackaged app you're interested in.
• Do this (you'll probably know that already).
• If you run into trouble, just shoot the education-list an e-mail!

Last note: It's a wiki - go ahead and edit straight away and add comments, links and whatsoever.
