Hello Bernhard, hello FSFE-Team,

Thanks for the hints! I'm subscribed to both lists now,
looking forward to fruitful discussions. :)

Ack.

But that is not the main point in our argumentation.
On http://www.pingos.schulnetz.org/degenhar/ you can find
a "Pingos.txt" (only in German, sorry). In Section 2 I'm summarising
the main advantages that we see for the use of GNU/Linux at schools.

Ack. I'm thinking about that (may take a while ;)).
We see the advantages of Free Software. That's why we are trying
to focus on our (currently) 5 software projects and the SelfLinux
documentation. May be we should try to make that more transparent
to the outside. But, to be fair, we currently have the problem that
our members seem to have not that much time for developing their
software projects (me included, because I'm more busy doing the
administrative work that has to be done). Short: Point taken!

It seems that Andreas Tille of the PingoS project will be at WOS,
but only on thursday and friday.

Ok, fine. We have a booth there, too.

Yes. I'm planning to be in Munich, too (I think friday till
sunday). I will try to meet some of you there.
Thanks for your mail, Bernhard (and for yours, too,
Christian!).
Btw: Would it be ok for you if we switch to German language
and to discuss further on fsfe-de?
Rgds.
Heiko.
