Edubuntu and UDS MountainView (was: Re: Edgy+1: Edubuntu for Secondary Schools & Edubuntu for Universities)

[Anne-Marie Mahfouf]

Hi all,

As KDE-Edu maintainer, unfortunately I cannot come to UDS due to lack of visa 
and/or adequate passport. 
However I am always available to discuss with Edubuntu people any issue 
regarding KDE-Edu integration in Edubuntu. For example, I gathered that 
KDE-Edu is quite big, especially regarding the languages packages. If you 
have any suggestion on improving the way we are doing things at KDE, I'd be 
glad to collaborate!
