Trisquel on Sugar SugarWe have a new project, a live -and installable- CD/USB image running the latest Sugar learning platform: "The award-winning Sugar Learning Platform promotes collaborative learning through Sugar Activities that encourage critical thinking, the heart of a quality education. Designed from the ground up especially for children, Sugar offers an alternative to traditional “office-desktop” software." This new project will improve the Trisquel Edu system, providing a nice educational environment for first grade students. We hope this will also be the start of a productive relationship with the SugarLabs folks, who helped us a lot to achieve this release. Many thanks to Aleksey Lim and to everyone at the Sugar project for giving us this wonderful software! The project was presented during the Software Freedom Day 09 event organized by the Free Software Foundation. Briefly introduced by Walter Bender, founder of SugarLabs, our Sugar+Trisquel solution provides a way to run this excelent educational software in a fully free system. Trisquel 3.0 was also featured in the FSF event, running on the computers available for the public on site. Highligts Built using the latest Sugar and Trisquel versions available. Installable live CD, with MD5 self-checking utility. Persistent user data in live-usb sessions, graphical usb-creator included. Boot menu with 30 selectable languages. LTSP thin client support using a Trisquel Edu server. Sugar style artwork. Testing You can help us and the Sugar project by testing the release candidate iso image: http://devel.trisquel.info/sugar/trisquel-sugar_3.0-LATEST_i686.iso. Send any bugs you find to our bug tracker. We will also report them upstream in case they are not caused by the Trisquel base system.

Durante o FLISOL, divulgado aqui no blog, pessoas de várias áreas procuraram conhecer mais sobre o Linux. Entre estas pessoas estavam professores procurando algo mais para passar para crianças de escolas públicas. Na ocasião comentamos e mostramos alguns softwares da distribuição edubuntu, mas eu ainda achava que era pouco. Ontem tomei conhecimendo do projeto Academia. O Academia é um liveCD, criado por Armando Silva, baseado no Knoppix com componentes do Knotix e Sidux com vários aplicativos educacionais como Gcompriz, Childsplay, TuxMath, TuxType e alguns aplicativos do KDE-Edu. Você pode fazer o download do Academia aqui. O md5sum é 2b44716a5d957781d1003be20b764a06. Eu estou baixando e logo estarei fazendo mais comentários sobre seu conteúdo. Por enquanto devo parabenizar o Armando pela bela iniciativa. 1. 1 On January 1st, 1999, André
