I'm on debian/unstable (desktop and laptop) and confirms that openboard is working, not perfect, but good. With the compile-steps from Mike, I could compile all the openboard-packages, after installing a lot of dependencies (I saved the list). openboard - Interactive White Board Application openboard-common - Interactive White Board Application (common files) openboard-dbgsym - debug symbols for openboard openboard-fonts-nonfree - Interactive White Board Application (non-free fonts) As a electric teacher in corana-times, I'm using openboard everyday as my main tool to teach. Once in a while there is a crash, but after a quick restart, nothing is lost. I would like to use this also after they find a vaccin against corona. Then I would like to use it more often to evaluate papers, instead of printing them (saving the trees). Also bought a wacom tablet to draw sketches, graphics, ... The wacom pen-top is melting fast ;-) So, it would be great to have this software in debian repositories. My software-knowledge doesn't go further than some hobby-programming on arduino. I'm willing to donate some developping-time ? Keep up the good work ! -- Lieven aka yanu
