Začelo se je resno delo. Po temeljiti predstavitvi na konferrenci, 16. 11. (v sredo popoldne) so že prvi odzivi:

* anleščina (matematika v angleščini)
* ŠV (Lovro Beranič)
* sodelovanje z zgodovinskim arhivom (Meli) matematične naloge skozi 135 let!?
* Društvo Lugos (Aleš Košir) InstallFest ali nekaj takega.

Pravzaprav zelo dober odziv in zelo dober začetek. Upamo lahko samo, da se bo tako nadaljevalo.
Že prej sem "odprl" Mambo domačo stran za ta projekt - to je Stran matematičnega aktiva Gimnazije Ptuj in sedaj jo bomo lahko začeli zapolnjevati z vsebino.

Rumor has it that today Sun and Google will announce a web-based version of OpenOffice.This would be a wonderful evolutionary step for personal computer users. I don't know and don't care what OS my telephone uses. I want to pick up the handset, push some buttons and have it work. Basic computer software should be just as easy. I'm hoping that Sun & Google will announce a free, open source product today. In looking at what is already out there for simple word processing I found Writely.com. They have a great solution for word processing. Users can save files and even share them.

The Squeezbox2 wireless, streaming audio server is pretty cool. I don't even have
one but since the software it runs is based on GNU/Linux, I don't need one. I can install the SlimServer streaming server right on my home (or school) PC running Red Hat Fedora Linux. This is just how open source software licensing is supposed to work. Posted on the SlimServer download page is this notice, “Supported by an international team of developers, SlimServer is released under the Open Source GPL license.” This means that I can freely download it, adapt it to suite my needs and redistribute it to others. It also happens that the Squeezebox would be a good product for schools to purchase. Read on...

DrupalED is a group of Drupal users looking at how it can be used in educational settings. I use Drupal for both the K12EdCom.org site and for our school newspaper site, The Maverick.

Quoting from the DrupalEd folks, "What is DrupalEd? Well, its aim is to be a central gathering space for efforts around using Drupal in educational settings. Short term goals are to gather requirements and recommendations for different modules and configurations, with the long term goal of having downloadable install profiles for different types of educational uses, from primary school to high school or post-secondary. More input and contributors are welcome!"
