Everything you setup at the server is eventually roam to the client desktop.
That's, if you configure a particular logo on user x login desktop, that is
what the user will see at the client when he/she logs in. So, if u want to
change the desktop to your school logo, use the logo as the desktop background
when you log in at the server. If you use this as your default desktop, that is
what everyone that logs in will see.

Now is a good time to talk about this. Matthew does have shell access to
the server, we just need to give him admin access on the site. I'll
co-ordinate this with him.

I talked to Matt about this last night, because I noticed that the
progress has been moving a bit slow. He said that he wasn't aware that
he needs to tweak the Ubuntu website theme for Edubuntu, so we came up
with a plan last night, he sent me the Ubuntu theme for some initial
customisation, and after that he will do some fine tuning. By next week
this time we should be able to have a preview of some sorts, and will be
able to receive comments and suggestions. If anyone is interested in the
progress of the next theme and layout, please try to attend the IRC
meeting next week Wednesday.

Great, thanks for this. Looking forward to it!
We chatted to Ken Wimer about this at UDS as well (admittedly under a
Kubuntu BoF) and a spec was born. I just cannot remember what it was
called since it changed name and I can't find it. Was more to do with
look 'n feel though but I thought I'd cc Ken in anyway.

Matt and I are having a conversation about ubuntu.com and getting
further community involvment, while reducing Matt N's burden on the
web stuff.

Jonathan, Matt already has admin access to Drupal.

Great. I hope you will check the theme into a versioned repo (bzr?) so
we can leverage Launchpad to track site/theme bugs (as done already for
the ubuntu.com site?).

I'm travelling until Monday, but I'll definitely try to make it for the
regular meeting on Wednesday.

I'm really looking forward to the modified theme based on ubuntu.com.
Besides that, I vote for doing a fresh install of Drupal 5.1 for
edubuntu.org (rather than an "upgrade") and cleaning up the (little!)
content that is currently on the site. Either Matt can do the
installation, or me. In the latter case, I even promise to provide a
clean documentation of the installation for Matt and Jonathan. :-)
Best,
Philipp

The server runs gdm. The thin clients run ldm, in the ltsp chroot.
Therefore to change the login screen on the thin clients you need to modify
ldm on the thin clients. There are several themes, all are in:
/opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/ldm/themes/
You should be able to make a copy of one and change it to suit yourself.
Then change the symlink
/opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/ldm/themes/default
to point to your modified one.
