The City of Caceres hosted last week the 25th RedIRIS Technical Conference, involving more than 400 ICT experts from different institutions. As usual, the Technical Conference sessions were preceded by Working Groups, where the objective was to share the experiences of different universities, research centres and other institutions.
The DOCENCIA-NET Working Group dealt with Virtual Ecosystems and two sessions focused on UDS Enterprise software.
UDS Enterprise extends the range of supported operating systems. The next version of this connection broker will provide, among others, virtual desktops for Red Hat based distributions. In this way, Fedora, CentOS… join the Linux distros family compatible with this software.
The UDS Enterprise development team is working on its new version, which will be released in Q1 2015.
On 28 and 29 October the V International Conference on Virtual Campus will be held in Panama City organized by the Technological University of Panama and the University Network Virtual Campus.
The aim of this event is to strengthen academic and research collaboration between organizations from Europe and the American continent that work for the development of virtual education. To do so, work areas such as educational innovation, the development of technological support tools or virtualization and internationalization of education will be discussed.
The Learning Technology Exhibition, SIMO Education 2014, has opened this morning at Feria de Madrid. 125 companies and 200 speakers will show new developments and ICT solutions for the classroom until next Saturday.
The innovations of this edition include virtual classrooms, learning stimulation programmes, virtual reality headsets, interactive projectors, educational robotics or accessible devices for students with visual disabilities.
The educational environment is a complex environment on an IT level, very possibly more than many critical business platforms, because it needs to deploy hundreds of applications and user stations to provide service to the faculty, the students and its own administrative staff.
Furthermore, both in colleges and schools, there must be multidisciplinary classrooms where different courses are taught, with completely different software that needs to be ready in a very short period of time. Many of the tools used in education are Open Source, which generally means that they will require the deployment of user stations under Linux operating systems in its different versions.
