Hi !
Many of you may be aware of Bijra High School Project
[
http://www.dgplug.org/intro/bijra] [
http://bijra.dgplug.org] of
dgplug [
http://www.dgplug.org] .
On 15th November 2007 we had a grand inauguration of the project. The
initial idea was to open the world of computing to poor students .
This has been done using completely free and opensource softwares.
WBUT (West Bengal University of Technology ) and L2C2 Technology lend
us a helping by providing few computers to the school.
An LTSP server running fedora 7 along with few old PIII machines has
been deployed. Not only that as most students lack proper English
knowledge so the whole implementation has been done using bengali
(native language ) BN_IN locale .
The area also lack a proper internet connection so kiwix (offline
wikipedia), wordnet (a dictionary dump) , project gutenburg dvd dump (
collection of english classics) are among the few softwares
implemented to provide a complete education setup . So this help them
not only in learning computers but also in computer aided learning.
Good to know. Is this plain Fedora or K12LTSP? If it is plain Fedora who
did the configuration and management of additional packages? How many
Fedora systems are these?
Note that LTSP integration work has started recently in Fedora. Refer
