KDE-Edu Meeting - Day 2
Yesterday we started a bit later than planned as Aurélien's Mandriva pass did not work. So we waited in the hall and Johannes tried a new record in KTouch (he is very fast typing already) while Albert tried to break his own Blinken record.
We then settled in the room and started to work. At 11:30 I had a few slides ready for the KDE 4.1 Roadmap: we agreed to include Step and reintegrate KEduca as Matt Williams is maintaining it now. KBruch and KPercentage should be merged in a single math exercises application, oriented to 8 - 12 maybe. I stressed the existence of the ODF lib from KOffice and I also pointed KWord Kid mode (but had no time to demo it, especially as my laptop did not want to recognize the projector). Interaction with Office applications is something that will happen more in the future.
Mauricio worked hard to fixe KTurtle potential showstoppers and at the end of the meeting we were happy to declare KTurtle fit to stay in the module for 4.0. The examples all work swiftly in all languages, recursion works, the actions which were not working either were removed or fixed. Carsten also fixed a lot of things in Kalzium. Having moved, Carsten was offline for 2 months and he was very happy to hack on the laptop Mandriva prepared for him. I was very pleased to meet him as he is part of KDE -Edu nearly from the start and it was the first time we met.
On Friday Damien from Mandrima gave me a flash key to update the Classmate PC to Mandriva 2007 which was swiftly done. So we could have a look at our applications on this small machine!
Some of us started to leave and at 6:00 pm, we left Mandriva Office.
I am still in Paris, having found a 24 hours wifi connection for 3€ at the hotel. I'll meet various Mandriva people today to discuss Education and Press Releases. I'll then reach Toulouse with a night train.
Everybody was very happy and enjoyed working with others. I must say it was even better that I had imagined it! Everyone will be home with new motivation and new ideas and a better sense of being part of KDE.
