From kde-promo Thu Feb 23 15:31:10 2012 From: Daniel Rohde-Kage Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2012 15:31:10 +0000 To: kde-promo Subject: [kde-promo] Spark and KDE and Tablet-Projects for Schools in Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony/Germany) Message-Id: <4F465BBE.9020506 () tu-dortmund ! de> X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-promo&m=133001111610592 Moinmoin to all of you, the federal state of Niedersachsen/Germany has started a tablet project in and for schools. Soon there will be an official invitation(German: Ausschreibung), where tablet-providers, the administration and schools come together and enter into contracts. The discussion about interactive elearning-media and schoolbooks is focussed very much on Apple with the Ipad. In this mailing list I heard the first time of the 'Spark-tablet'. I haven't found out whether this is - beside the software development of Plasma Active - a community or a commercial project. I think it could be a real chance for the Spark-tablet and KDE Plasma-Active - depending on the developmental stage. I tried to present the Wetab (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WeTab) with KDE PA2 in our media-consultant-community, but this hardware is pretty weak and PA2 didn't have a working office-suite. From what I understand, the Spark Tablet is presented at Cebit 2012. Perhaps KDE e.V. or someone else could try to join the negotiations (German: Ausschreibungsverfahren) or at least present this machine to offer an alternative to Apple, M$ and Android-tablets. What do you think?
