Introduction
EducOOo is a french non profit association, and its activities concern Education and OpenOffice.org.

Its most important goals are create a bridge between OpenOffice.org and Educational World, find new devs and provide code backport of OpenOffice.org.

The most important EducOOo activities are centered on several products:


 * Campus Libre (online Dokeos)
 * Forge Libre (at Edulibre)
 * OOo4Kids and OOoLight (both softwares, derivated from OpenOffice.org)

The one generating the most important activity, and eating the most important resources, are OOo4Kids and OOoLight. Both are localized in 13 locales, and can be installed on all majors Operating systems (Windows, Mac and Linux). We do not show the real figures, but we are pretty sure, OOo4Kids was downloaded at least more than 500 000 times already.

The problem we have, is that EducOOo reached a critical size, and needs to :
 * organize the new localized projects,
 * define objectives
 * define a Council
 * distribute roles and responsabilities
 * define action items

Agenda
Point 1: Present the idea

The idea consists in delegate, trust and let people decide for every locale. EducOOo will try to provide missing resources, for locales missing them (like hosting the site, and so on)

Point 2: Present the new localized projects


 * educoo.be (Sylvain Denis)
 * educoo.no (Olav Dahlum)
 * educoo.us (Drew Jensen)
 * educoo.it (Marina Latini)
 * educoo.de (Thorsten Behrens)

Unconfirmed :
 * EducOO.pt
 * Educoo.es

Remark : educoo.fr is the same as educoo.org

Point 3: Define a Council : ask for candidates

Role of the Council : define some common rules, as Guidelines only. Define and manage a strategy to respect the Education Project goals. Share, spread the information.

Point 4: Define roles and responsabilities

(open discussion, to define a list)

Point 5: Coordinate everything (open item)

How to handle bug fixing ? How to handle suggestions and ideas Will every locale provide its own version (including different code, because the needs are different ?) How to reverse interesting code to OOo (or elsewhere) ?

Note: open discussion, with the goal : define a todo list -->
