Ubuntu Education Summit Wrap-up

Ubuntu Education Summit

The Ubuntu Education Summit went without much of a hitch, and things went quite well. It was interesting hearing problems form educators teaching in more affluent areas, and the problems and challenges that they too have to face. Ideas and problems were summarised and will be discussed in forum and workshop sessions during the Developers Summit, that is taking place over the next 7 days.

Intel had representatives as well, and it’s likely that we may see some form of Ubuntu on the Intel classmate PC.

During the education summit, we walked around a square near a restaurant, and found a tiny bird in a bush that let us come real close to take some photos. I thought it was odd that the bird was hanging upside down from the bush, but they drive on the wrong side of the road here, so anything is possible :)

On closer inspection, Scott noticed that the bird was stuck, and freed the bird: Youtube Video

Scott, you rock!

  1. Hi Jonathan

    Welcome back from the Edubuntu summit.
    I am a journalist for Tectonic and would be interested in finding out more about what happened at the summit and the direction that Edubuntu is going. Please could you drop me an email with a contact number so that I can get hold of you.

    Thanks and all the best,
    James
