Just got back to Bend.(7:15PM)
Thank you for a great meeting!
Cordially;

I will cogitate on our discussion and try write a list of "ideas" Here
are a few that pop to mind:
* 1-)I think that I will detail the steps I use to make a remix and
maybe put it on the wiki. ( know sdz has his version already and do not
want to interfere with it, but I personally found it hard to
use/understand.)
* 2-)Your ideas on remix submissions from users as an extension of Soas
V4 are great.
- Letting a teacher submit a list of applications and have the .ks file
be returned to him/her by e-mail after check out is a great Idea
*3-) Hosting Remixes: how about sourceforge? ( I could not remember its
name)
- here are listings hosted for OpenSuse-edu: (Cyberorg set this up)
-- http://sourceforge.net/projects/opensuse-edu/files/Sugar/
-- http://sourceforge.net/projects/opensuse-edu/files/
*4-) Maybe have a listing on the wiki of the "Best 10 Remixes" and maybe
a a fixed set similar to:
>prebuilt remix images with keyboard and languages set for most used
languages
>plus spins directed (for example) towards:
+young kid to 6 th grade
+6-12th grade Socialcalc-5 Physics 4 Oo4Kids words-4
+e-books Get I A Books-6 (Firefox-6 ?)
+Games
+Revive the EDU spin Gnome/sugar
+a version with a flash (Gnash?) for social exchanges on web (Firefox-6 ?)
* 5-)Generating an .img or .raw file of a non compressed version of Soas
as part of the Nightly-Composes:
- 1. for dd to USB in terminal (because of the ext3 file system there
would be persistence by default)
- 2. Develop a graphical liveusb-creator to write a ext3 structured USB
which expands to fit the USB size: ie: 4/8/16 GB (or a USB Hard Drive of
250-or 500GB size)
--This can be done with gparted resize/move function on a unmounted USB
Stick I used it with Bernie's Direct-Blueberry:

*6-)Here is the link I said I would send that I use to install livecd-tools:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_a_Live_CD
Clipped from page:
......................................
"To create a live image, the *livecd-creator* tool is used. Super user
privileges are needed. The tool is more or less self-documenting, use
the /--help/ option to see options.
The *livecd-creator* tool is part of the |livecd-tools| package. If it
is not installed on your system, add it with:
su -c 'yum install livecd-tools spin-kickstarts'
If you are interested in localized live cd files, install also
*l10n-kickstarts*."
....................
Unfortunately this installs files in /usr/share/spin-kickstarts which
requires root access to edit. Not easy for a Teacher to re-spin her own .iso
one has to open gedit from root terminal to edit and save the .ks files
I use this entry in terminal to build in a booted USB 500GB HD with
f14(rawhide) installed.
