Ubuntu in Education resources from Canonical
You should probably be aware that almost all of Spain is using Linux in the educational sector with Ubuntu being the leading provider in that area. Every public school in Andalucia (Southern Spain) for example, which include about 5000 servers and 1 million+ computers run Guadalinex-edu which is a direct distro copy of Ubuntu + educational apps chosen for this market sector.
Further East, the region of Extremadura, the entire region uses LTSP based Debian for all their public schools. In Cataluña, opensuse-edu is being used for the entire school region, Madrid uses Ubuntu for its public school system, Castilla and Leon uses Ubuntu too.
The entire country of Portugal uses Caixa Magica LTSP which is based on Mandriva.
So for the Iberic peninsula (Spain + Portugal) I would estimate a good* 6-7 million computers running Educational Linux (mostly ubuntu)
kind regards,
David Van Assche
P.S. I manage a couple of private schools in Southern Spain running LTSP Edubuntu.

Is there a list of the educational software that Andalucia has choosen?
Do they have any software for student management/account creation?*
Is it all LTSP or are there netbooks or other configurations too?
Thanks!

You should probably be aware that almost all of Spain is using Linux in the educational sector with Ubuntu being the leading provider in that area. Every public school in Andalucia (Southern Spain) for example, which include about 5000 servers and 1 million+ computers run Guadalinex-edu which is a direct distro copy of Ubuntu + educational apps chosen for this market sector.
Further East, the region of Extremadura, the entire region uses LTSP based Debian for all their public schools. In Cataluña, opensuse-edu is being used for the entire school region, Madrid uses Ubuntu for its public school system, Castilla and Leon uses Ubuntu too.
The entire country of Portugal uses Caixa Magica LTSP which is based on Mandriva.
So for the Iberic peninsula (Spain + Portugal) I would estimate a good* 6-7 million computers running Educational Linux (mostly ubuntu)
kind regards,
David Van Assche
P.S. I manage a couple of private schools in Southern Spain running LTSP Edubuntu.

Hi
Belinda,
You might want to talk to Maine Open 1 to 1 (open1to1.org) they are
a Ubuntu netbook remix remix that is being used by a couple thousand
students in Maine on netbooks.* There are also deployments in NH and
VT.* They just started last year, this year they are working on being
more involved in the Ubuntu community.* We are also working to put
Sugar, which is currently being ported to Ubuntu (Ubuntu Sugar Remix)
into this remix also.
I am working with the Boston area Ubuntu community and folks from Tufts
and Harvard to do a stick based deployment in Somerville where we will
give families in housing projects refurbished computers and each person
in the family a bootable USB sticks with Open 1 to 1 (or maybe a
different mix of software for the parents).* We will work with
community computer centers to give classes and use these spaces to
provide internet access.
Hope that helps!
Thanks for doing this work.

Ubuntu in Education resources from Canonical
Belinda, have you heard anything back about the request for Canonical
to relicense the desktop course material at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training
via CC-BY-SA?
That might enable more partnerships between for-profits and
not-for-profits to update it to 10.04 and improve it.
Cheers,
Neal McBurnett http://neal.mcburnett.org/
