Solution: I've built a PoC to solve this. Basically a customized Linux OS for student computer + web interface for the teacher. Teacher can, in real time, set the stage for the lesson by e.g. whitelisting the sites students can visit. I know teachers love it. I have an idea for how to sell it, I have a decent network, but I'm lacking the competence to actually design the architecture to scale to thousands of schools. So this is what I need your help finding <3

Problem: 5+ years ago I worked as a high school teacher. Every student has a laptop, provided by the school. Teacher has zero control over what students are doing on their computers. Some are on youtube, others play some game. One teacher formulated the problemm 100%: "they have the whole world there, it's easy to get distracted"

Soo.. I started something, and I'm looking for a partner in crime:
- full stack developer/architect
- comfortable with distributed systems (local+cloud) and real time communication (using mqtt atm)
- security/privacy by default mindset
- loves designing architecture that can scale
- if you are enthusiastic about open source and/or education we will get along!

Curious? Read along -->

But it's actually *much worse* than that! It's not just that Labour hand over Britain's crown jewels to rapacious international criminals who are deeply embedded in a regime that has directly threatened the sovereignty of the UK. They also passed up a proven, advanced, open, safe, British alternative: the OpenSAFELY initiative, developed by Ben Goldacre and his team at Jesus College Oxford:

On October 14, the EU will vote on the so-called Chat Control — a dystopian law which will require messaging apps to facilitate mass surveillance.

President of Signal Foundation Meredith Whittaker says, if the EU adopts the law, her organisation will pull their Signal app from the EU market.

I am both angered and worried by the prospects. Encrypted communication is absolutely crucial, when I speak to sources in countries where people are killed for talking.

Anlasslose Massenüberwachung: Messenger Signal wird Deutschland verlassen, wenn Chatkontrolle kommt

In den kommenden Tagen wird die Bundesregierung entscheiden, wie sie am 14. Oktober in der EU zur Chatkontrolle abstimmt. Eines ist klar: Kommt die Chatkontrolle, wird es keine verschlüsselte und sichere Kommunikation mehr geben.
