Sorry for not being able to make it for the meeting. 

Here my homework:

As I told you last year, the first beta of Linkat2.0, based on
SLED10SP1, was released before christmas. Despite the fact that a lot of
work has been done, the release for the second beta and, after that, the
final release, have been postponed and I can not tell you the new
release plan, as it is not yet decided. However, I expect it to be (the
final release) before April, 1st.

Meanwhile, Jordi B. and me are preparing a presentation for FOSDEM
(Brussels, end of February) that will include what is Linkat2.0 (in
short an educational project based on SLED10, openSUSE, and other free
software), which community do we have (user, developer, professional),
and which is and which can be the relation between openSUSE and
openSUSE-edu (joining packaging efforts through OBS and others).

greetings,

jordi

> 
> Update: Since this week, the "openSUSE-Education 1.0 for openSUSE 10.2" 
> ISO is added to the official openSUSE Bittorrent tracker!
> 
> Because of lacking time we have to skip the release date of the 
> openSUSE-Education 1.0 for 10.3. Now we've new release dates for 10.3:
> 
>     * 02/08/2008 for the first release candidate (RC1)
>     * 02/22/2008 for the second release candidate (RC2) which should be 
> the final version
> 
> Until RC1, the developers want to add some packages (amongst others 
> gambas and pascal) and fix some of the current ones.

> An outstanding problem is the translation of patterns and package

> Should there be an update tree for the openSUSE-Education 1.0 release?

> At least: we've updated the packages stardict, stardict-tools,
