Re: Spark and KDE and Tablet-Projects for Schools in Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony/Germany)

Moinmoin to all of you,

in March or the beginning of April the administration publishes the
terms of contracts in the 'Schulverwaltungsblatt Niedersachsen',
available in the internet. I will post the exact date here.

From my experience it's pretty tough to join this without a company with at
least some experience in this kind of process as a backer, but maybe we can
come up with some creative solution.

The
commitment of the players is really
strong and also very subtle, especially from
Apple.

The main topic for an alternative party (of KDE, open-slx, basysKOM,
what about the FSFE?), which presents a KDE-tablet like Spark,
should be the focus on the educational possibilities of the whole
system.

This includes:

hardware - what can I physically do with this machine? How many
features are implemented (usb-ports, camera, accu-life...)

support - who cares for the users, really the most important aspect
for schools, which are no IT-companies and would like to/must have
an easy-care system (e.g. what about restoring a corrupted system?)

software - under iOS the app-store is pretty well equipped, so how
many of the great KDE-edu-applications are usable with this system?

content - which contents can be accessed and produced(!) on
different systems - the advancing of apple goes toward a closed
e-book-market for schools.

It would be wonderful if within this outstanding tablet-project in
Niedersachsen an open system could be established, while dead-lines
are short.

things are almost
too complex to portray in my school-English, but I think you would ask, if
aspects are not clear ---
