- <div class="date">26th June 2012</div>
- <div class="body"><p>I've been too busy at home, but finally I found time to wrap up
-another interview with the people behind
-<a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu and Skolelinux</a>.
-This time we get to know José Luis Redrejo Rodríguez, one of our great
-helpers from Spain. His effort was the reason we added support for
-several desktop types (KDE, Gnome and most recently LXDE) in Debian
-Edu, and have all of these available in the recently published
-<a href="http://www.debian.org/News/2012/20120311.html">Debian Edu
-Squeeze</a> version.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p>
-
-<p>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</p>
-
-<p><strong>How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux/Debian Edu
-project?</strong></p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian
-Edu?</strong></p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux/Debian
-Edu?</strong></p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p>
-
-<p>Debian, of course, and due to my kind of job I am most of my time
-between Iceweasel, <a href="http://www.geany.org/">Geany</a> and
-<a href="http://www.ohloh.net/p/gnome-terminator">Terminator</a>.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
-get schools to use free software?</strong></p>
-
-<p>I think there is not a single strategy because there are very
-different scenarios: schools with mixed proprietary and free
-environments, schools using only workstations, other schools using
-laptops, netbooks, tablets, interactive white-boards, etc.</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>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
-multi-platform 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.</p>
