+ <div class="title">Debian Edu interview: Angela Fuß</div>
+ <div class="date">13th November 2012</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>After begging for a long time, I finally managed to lure another
+one of the people behind the German "IT-Zukunft Schule" project out
+from maternity leave to conduct an interview. I am happy to present
+Angela Fuß to you. :)</p>
+
+<p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p>
+
+<p>I am a 39-year-old woman living in the very north of Germany near
+Denmark. I live in a patchwork family with "my man" Mike Gabriel, my
+two daughters, Mikes daughter and Mikes and my rather newborn son.
+
+<p>At the moment - because of our little baby - I am spending most of
+the day by being a caring and organising mom for all the kids.
+Besides that I am really involved into and occupied with several inner
+growth processes: New born souls always bring the whole familiar
+system into movement and that needs time and focus ;-). We are also
+in the middle of buying a house and moving to it.</p>
+
+<p>In 2013 I will work again in my job in a German foundation for
+nature conservation. I am doing public relation work there. Besides
+that - and that is the connection to Skolelinux / Debian Edu - I am
+working in our own school project "IT-Zukunft Schule" in North
+Germany. I am responsible for the quality assurance, the customer
+relationship management and the communication processes in the
+project.</p>
+
+<p>Since 2001 I constantly have been training myself in communication
+and leadership. Besides that I am a forester, a landscaping gardener
+and a yoga teacher.</p>
+
+<p><strong>How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux / Debian Edu
+project?</strong></p>
+
+<p>I fell in love with Mike ;-).</p>
+
+<p>Very soon after getting to know him I was completely enrolled into
+Free Software. At this time Mike did IT-services for one newly
+founded school in Kiel. Other schools in Kiel needed concepts for
+their IT environment. Often when Mike came home from working at the
+newly founded school I found myself listening to his complaints about
+several points where the communication with the schools head or the
+teachers did not work. So we were clear that he would not work for
+one more school if we did not set up a structure for communication
+between him, the schools head, the teachers, the students and the
+parents.</p>
+
+<p>Together with our friend and hardware supplier Andreas Buchholz we
+started to get an overview of free software solutions suitable for
+schools. One day before Christmas 2010 Mike and I had a date with Kurt
+Gramlich in Gütersloh. As Kurt and I are really interested in building
+networks of people and in being in communication we dived into
+Skolelinux and brought it to the first grammar schools in Northern
+Germany.</p>
+
+<p>For information about our school project you can read
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Debian_Edu_interview__Mike_Gabriel.html">the
+interview with Mike Gabriel</a>.</p>
+
+<p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux / Debian
+Edu?</strong></p>
+
+<p>First I have to say: I cannot answer this question technically. My
+answer comes rather from a social point of view.</p>
+
+<p>The biggest advantage of Skolelinux / Debian Edu I see is the large
+and strong international community of Debian Developers in the
+background which is very alive and connected over mailinglists, blogs
+and meetings. My constant feeling for the Debian Community is: If
+something does not work they will somehow fix it. All is well
+;-). This is of course a user experience. What I also get as a big
+advantage of Skolelinux / Debian Edu is that everybody who uses it and
+works with it can also contribute to it - that includes students,
+teachers, parents...</p>
+
+<p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux / Debian
+Edu?</strong></p>
+
+<p>I will answer this question relating to the internal structure of
+Skolelinux / Debian Edu.</p>
+
+<p>What I see as a major disadvantage is that there is a gap between
+the group of developers for Debian Edu and the people who make the
+marketing, that means the people that bring Skolelinux to the
+schools. There is a lack of communication between these two groups and
+I think that does not really work for Skolelinux / Debian Edu.</p>
+
+<p>Further I appreciate that Skolelinux / Debian Edu is known as a
+do-ocracy. Nevertheless I keep asking myself if at some points a
+democracy or some kind of hierarchical project structure would be good
+and helpful. I am also missing some kind of contact between the
+Skolelinux / Debian Edu communities in Europe or on an international
+level. I think it would be good if there was more sharing between the
+different countries using Skolelinux / Debian Edu.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p>
+
+<p>On my laptop I am still using an Ubuntu 10.04 with a Gnome Desktop
+on. As applications I use Openoffice.org, Gedit, Firefox, Pidgin,
+LaTeX and GnuCash. For mails I am using Horde. And I am really fond of
+my N900 running with Maemo.</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 am really convinced that in our school project "IT-Zukunft
+Schule" we have developed (and keep developing) a great way to get
+schools to use Free Software. We have written a detailed concept for
+that so I cannot explain the whole thing here. But in a nutshell the
+strategy has three crucial pillars:</p>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li>We really take time to get what sort of stories, questions and
+concerns the schools head and the teachers have about using different
+kinds of IT and we take time to enrol them into Free Software.</li>
+
+<li>Our solution for schools is never just technical. In the centre
+are always the people who are going to use the software. From the very
+beginning of the planning for a school, we tell the schools head that
+they are paying us not only for a technical solution for their school,
+they also pay us for leading all the communication processes
+needed. If they do not want that, we are not working with them because
+we cannot give a guarantee for the quality of our work then.</li>
+
+<li>Another focus lies in the training of teachers and students in
+co-administrating the IT-System at their school. They start getting in
+contact with the Skolelinux / Debian Edu community and they get the
+offer to become more and more independent from us.</li>
+
+</ul>
+
+<!--
+
+* Who should be interviewed with this questions in the future?
+
+I think Stefan Makiewicz should be interviewed for your blog. He is
+one of the teachers at the first school we are working for in our
+school project. He gave us the hint to check Skolelinux / Debian Edu
+and is very creative in enrolling people into Free Software. His mail
+address is it@maskiewizc.de
+
+If you have not interviewed Kurt Gramlich already I would suggest to
+interview him as well. He is one of the main persons in the Skolelinux
+community in Germany and I think he would have to say a lot toyour
+questions. His mail address is kurt@skolelinux.de
