I work for Canonical Ltd. within the scope of Edubuntu operations.

My prime responsibility is towards the NEPAD e-Schools programme where I act as a technical and relationship liaison for the HP led ISPAD consortium. Beyond this my interests lie in African open source developments, specifically around education.

  * Release notes
  * School Advocacy
They are basically just pulled from the SVN trunk.

=== Edubuntu Wiki ===
It is important to note that the wiki.ubuntu.com is the same place as wiki.edubuntu.org

The wiki,https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuWiki , is a bit more complex and has some redundant or outdated information on it.
 * Edubuntu Community page - https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuCommunity - which contains basic communication info

 * Schools Advocacy - https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuSchoolAdvocacy although the new version is on https://doc.ubuntu.com/
 * Meetings
  * Agenda - https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuMeetingAgenda
  * Minutes
   * Newer page - https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuMeetingRecordsNew
   * Older page - https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuMeetingRecords
 * Doc Page on https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuDocumentation shells out links to
  * An old "About" page - https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuDocumentation/AboutEdubuntu
  * The same release notes as above
  * Quickguide, https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuDocumentation/EdubuntuQuickguide, which was proposed but superceded I guess
  * FAQ which points to the main web site
  * UbuntuLTSP stuff - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/

=== Documentation Teams ===
 * There is an Edubuntu Documentation team on launchpad (https://launchpad.net/people/edubuntu-doc/) which is a member of:
 * The Ubuntu Documentation Project (https://launchpad.net/people/ubuntu-doc/)
  * which lives on the wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam
  * with projects listed on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Projects
  * and a translation project on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Translation

=== Marketing Teams ===



== What We Need To Do ==

 * Get Edubuntu stuff into Documentation Project
  * get our stuff into SVN
  * track Edubuntu with Documentation Project structures
  * basically integrate Edubuntu Documentation team
  * where does LTSP stuf go?

 * Work out how to deal with different versions
  * who works on what version
  * keep interest/contribution in older and LTS versions going

 * Clean up wiki
  * Wiki often references outdated docs or duplicated stuff

 * Integrate into Marketing Team
  * School Advocacy would become another doc team project
  * but the fliers and posters, etc become marketing materials

 * Create tasks for edubuntu doc development
  * Advertise them
  * track them
  * Create roles and profiles
   * Proofers
   * Writers
   * coordinators
   * planners

 * Track IRC logs with the rest of the logs and agendas
