Author(s): Antonio J Saenz

We have deployed 260,000 desktops and so we manage nearly 500,000 users everyday at ICT Schools in Andalusia.

Year by year we have explained at GUADEC's what we were doing and our vision and needs from the GNOME Environment

This year we want to explain:

  • The technical elements we have used in the deployment:
    • Tools (open source and we want to publish)
    • Gnome environment customization and management
    • Ubuntu management
  • The new elements we demand from the desktop / cloud integration:
    • Desktop / web identity
    • Desktop / cloud storage/computing
    • Desktop / app servers integration
    • ...
  • What we have and offer to the developers:
  • Largest managed users base (bugs/patches integration)
  • Users and Schools for Pilots and alpha testing of new developments

We also want to look for ways to integrate this large user base with the developers of gnome and the community.
