We use the following list to coordinate which BOF Meetings we will attend. We will make an effort to contribute to BOFs most important to Ubuntu Education - either by dividing them up amongst us, or attending them jointly.

Missing Specifications

1. Edubuntu Configurations

• • Existing : Current Edubuntu "bundle / package" is for Primary Schools
  • Required : Need Edubuntu "bundle / packge" for Seconday Schools
  • Required : Need Edubuntu "bundle / packge" for University

1. Edubuntu-Product-and-Add-On
