Hi :slight_smile:
I would not normally have redirected this one from the moderators filtering.  Normally i would have let it go straight through to the spam dump.

It is "just another distro", like Ubuntu, SuSE, Redhat, Fedora, Mageia and the rest.  The main twist in this ones case is that it focusses on schools and includes good tools to help people manage educational establishments as well as having useful and interesting things for school-kids.  Unlike Edubuntu this one appears to have started in India although it also seems to be available in English.

Note that i don't think this has anything to do with the One Laptop Per Child project

So, if you like "distro hopping" then you might like to have a play around with 1 or other distro.  If you haven't done any "distro hopping" before then i tend to prefer setting up a spare new partition rather than using a Virtual Machine.  Other people swear by VMs [shrugs].  Either way has advantages.

Hi :slight_smile:
Fedena is apparently not free and it's not a distro!  I'm not sure why i thought it was!

It is a "Management Information System", for schools, so it's more like a suite of modules inside a program or a suite of programs.  There is an Open Source core of programs/modules but then you would probably find you need some of the "Premium" programs/modules.

Signing up for their "demo" seems to involve a lot of details i might consider phishing so i would NOT go for it without exploring it in more detail.

Apols and regards from

Hi :slight_smile:
Fred has been looking into it a bit more but we still haven't worked out if it really is bad.  It's still looking like a good product but it is more comparable with these;

http://open-school.org/
http://akuraschools.org/
http://centresis.org/

I
think Moodle is something a bit different, a "Course Management System"
that might be part of one of the Suites or might replace hefty chunks
of it. 
https://moodle.org/
I think Moodle has another OpenSource competitor too but i can't quite remember that far back and only vaguely remembered moodle because it's fun to say.  It turns out my old 6th Form College is one of the places now using Moodle.

Above three sites seem commercial, offering services on the web......

http://www.projectfedena.org/
Is opensource, WITH the option to download source
(which i think is important for opensource!)

Demo-site is here: http://www.projectfedena.org/demo

But i'm still guessing what this has to do with libreoffice :wink:
