Debian Edu and Skolelinux + + José Luis Redrejo Rodríguez + + * Who are you, and how do you spend your days? + + I'm a father, teacher and engineer who is working for the +Education ministry of the Region of Extremadura (Spain) in the +implementation of ICT in schools + + * How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux/Debian Edu project? + + At 2006, I verified that both, we in Extremadura and Skolelinux +project, had been working in parallel for some years, doing very +similar things, using very similar tools and with similar targets, so +I decided it was time to join forces as much as possible. + + * What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian Edu? + + A community of highly skilled experts working together, with a +really open schema of collaboration and work. I really love the +concepts of Do-ocracy and Merit-ocracy and the way these concepts are +been used everyday inside Debian Edu. + + * What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux/Debian Edu? + + Sometimes the differences in the implementations, laws or +economical and technical resources in the different countries don't +allow us to agree in the same solution for all of us, and several +approaches are needed , what is a waste of effort. Also , there is a +lack of more man power to be able to follow the fast evolution of the +technologies in school. + + + * Which free software do you use daily? + + Debian, of course, and due to my kind of job I am most of my time +between Iceweasel, Geany and Terminator. + + + * Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to get schools + to use free software? + + I think there is not a single strategy because there are very +different scenarios: schools with mixed propietary and free +environments, schools using only workstations, other schools using +laptops, netbooks, tablets, interactive whiteboards, etc. + + Also the range of ages of the students is very broad and you can +not use the same solutions for primary schools and secondary or even +universities. So different strategies are needed. + + But, looking at these differences, and looking back to the things +we've done and implemented, and the places were we have spent most of +our forces, I think we should focus as much as possible in free +multiplatform environments, using only standards tools, and moving +more and more to Internet or network solutions that could be deployed +using wireless. I think we'll see more and more personal devices in +the schools, devices the students and teachers will take home with +them, so the solutions must be able to be taken at home and continue +working there. + + * Who should be interviewed with this questions in the future? + + Petter Reinholdtsen, of course. I also think Nigel Barker can give +very interesting points of view, since he's working daily inside the +classroom. + + +
