Thanks for posting the meeting notes Robin, it was nice for me to be able to catch-up with this.
Note that if the cookbook ever gets printed, I will be the first to buy a copy :)) Regards to all JaneW -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robin Shepheard Sent: 16 June 2006 12:16 AM To: Edubuntu Mailing List Subject: Edubuntu Cookbook Meeting Notes -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 My turn to do the notes for the Edubuntu Cookbook Meeting, please be aware that I did not end up with this task until the end so I have tried to do the best I can. Please bear with me if I ramble as this is my first time with this responsibility :-) Summary of Edubuntu Cookbook Meeting 15/06/06 This meeting took place in a slightly shorter time span than the last meeting and involved a few less people, in fact turnout was fairly low for what ever reason. This did indeed have some benefits as it made it a bit easier to come to a consensus Following a fairly active discussion during the last meeting and a reasonable following exchange via the mailing list, the decision was made to use the docbook format for the cookbook following a quick vote of all the people in attendance. The basic layout of the book was suggested as follows :- Section I Welcome to the world of Edubuntu this will be kept to the existing basic layout of:- - --About the book, why we decided to write it etc. - --Ubuntu and its philosophy - --Concept behind Edubuntu - --Why Edubuntu with the addition of 2 new chapters called - --Networking basics - this will be a very basic intro to networks - --Choosing an install type - selecting which install to use LTSP or workstation Section II Edubuntu Computer Lab/LTSP Installation - --Pre-Install - --Installation - --Post-installation The pre-install section will cover hardware selection and requirements Installation is fairly self explanatory Post-installation will cover the configuration and settings required to secure and maintain you system there will be references to web pages and books either scattered through out the chapter or at the end of the chapter, no real decision was made except that they were a good idea Section III Using Edubuntu at home This will be laid out in the same manner as section II but will be covering the use of the workstation installation option Section IV Using Edubuntu This section will keep the same name as no one could really suggest a better name for it. This will contain information about the applications and how to use them with possible examples if possible Most of the existing "shiny bits" section will now become absorbed into the post-installation sections of the book with any remaining parts merged into section IV A wiki page documenting the layout will be available here (please give hedgemage a chance to write it, it should be available by approximately 21:00 UTC 16/06/06):- https://wiki.edubuntu.org/HowToCookEdubuntu/ A suggestion was raised about producing a standard template for each chapter to conform to, which will probably cover heading etc. It was suggested to start a wiki page for suggestions for the name for the book, but no page address was decided upon so this will have to wait for a bit more information from hedgemage or pygi I presume No further meeting has been arranged so watch this space for more information Cheers Robin RobinShepheard -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEkdwiwzedt4HfCqURApwWAJ4n4IV5e/+OzTCppbNLi1Ul0dtUqQCghcBI 19XDIcmcQJVyL24KMjNtG9E= =H+Fp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- edubuntu-devel mailing list edubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel -- edubuntu-devel mailing list edubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel
