Dear Edubuntu people,

May I first introduce myself in this list, my name is Guillaume Lederer, 
from Belgium. I recently went on the Ubuntu channel where some people 
told me about Edubuntu a project that I didn't know at all.

Personnally, I am working on the Claroline opensource Learning 
management system in PHP/MySQL, I am part of the development team. It 
has been now 7 months that I discovered Ubuntu which is for me, a very 
good distribution : focusing on making the thing very simple to the end 
user but keeps beeing compatible with many important projects. This is  
the same philosophy we take a great care to keep in the software 
Claroline too. For the last two years, we started to have a quiet good 
success in many French and Belgian universities and schools, reputed to 
a software very easy to take in hand.  You might want to see who use it 
already here :

And so far, I wondered how we could make the Ubuntu community benefit of 
this software. I 'dd be very happy to help and propose our contribution 
with Claroline in the Ubuntu community. But I have to say that I do not 
know precisely who I should enter in contact with either. Could anyone 
of the Edubuntu project tell me in which way our LMS could be an 
interesting option for : 1 - an additionnal software in Edubuntu or 2- 
helping in setting a Claroline online learning management campus 
dedicated to the community of Ubuntu itself ?

I 'll be happy to hear any of your reactions

Kind regards to all of you,

Guillaume Lederer
