Dear Fedora Join mailing list,
Would be possible to do a Spin of Fedora focuses into Education? Same to Edubuntu to uses into Classrooms for children, teenagers and more degrees?
Cheers!
There have been some attempts towards this goal in the past, but I'm not sure how they are being handled these days. The OS in the OLPC's was a spin of Fedora. It's called Sugar On a Stick and you can get more info about it at https://spins.fedoraproject.org/soas/

Yes, I know Sugar. But, It's very helpful get a Linux distro with some software about Educations. Such as Stellarium, Celestia, LibreOffice (This is most important Office Suite It's not included on none Spin (!) and more...
Mandriva made a distro for teachers-students. That's allow create session to work something together. http://www.mandriva.com/en/products-services/mclass/ Will be very interesting to bring Fedora into classrooms to avoid uses Windows as only choice for everybody. :(
I think, if Fedora brings to Electricians, robots... would be very good make an Educational spin.
That would be a great idea.....
I am creating live cds with packages for education like stellarium, step, geogebra, avogadro, kalzium etc.......for distributing among my science students...

This would be great, my school is split between Ubuntu and Fedora (when required to teach Linux). Some teachers push Ubuntu because it has more market share on the desktop, while others push Fedora because they teach Red Hat Servers and know that Ubuntu isn't Red Hat.
I think if more was done to make Fedora for Schools it could help a lot.
I have been in talks with my school to push more open source and am currently trying to get the Processor Arch teacher to use open source equipment like the Arduino. I'm converting all the material we cover on the dragon boards over to Arduino in hopes that future students can benefit from it. I only mention that because I had to use windows in that class because the software was only windows based, and I would like to be able to use Fedora in all my classes.
I hope this helps give an idea of what's going on in other schools for anyone that is building such a spin.

Yeah, SOAS is good for primary education students.
Fedora Plasma WG is working on a product[1] that provides "educational and scientific software". This intended to focus on another audience, such as high school and university students. I think it deserves attention among teachers and education professionals.

That sounds good. I'm slightly late to the discussion, but I wanted to point out that you should get in touch with Danishka (cc'd). Danishka works to spread Fedora for educational purposes. He has a lot of experience with this. He's even taking a session called "Success story of Fedora in to education" at Gnome Asia/FUDCon Beijing that's coming up shortly.
