I think it’s time now for an status update on the Fedora Education project - what has happened so far and what needs to be done? Well, first of all, I’ve set up roadmap giving you a general overview. There are further topics related to it and I want to you point you to some of them. There are some news on the F9 spin: This bug is still open, since the KDE SIG still discusses, how to proceed with the different kdeedu sub-packages. In my talks to Rex we agreed on postponing the spin’s release, since we’re going to wait for KDE 4.1, which is going to include major improvements for the users.

...or: Fedora in Education - a true story
In the last weeks, I’ve been working on a software solution "based on Fedora" for my school. To give you a rough overview, I’ll try to sum the most important facts up. Please note that this is just a report and not an announcement of a new product or so ;).
