DebianEdu Announced

Posted by michael on from the apt-get-install-ucblogo dept.

Bill Kendrick writes "There's been an announcement on debian-devel-announce about a new subproject, DebianEdu, which "aims to make Debian the best distribution available for educational use." As a developer with some stuff in Debian Jr., I'm happy to see some focus on an honest-to-goodness education project!"

    "I don't know about you, but at my school, Oregon Trail consisted of seeing how fast we could kill our parties. Let's see - 0 pounds of food ought to do it. Clothing? Nah, we'll be free of those societal constraints in Oregon. Let's use a grueling pace."

    Oh, I'm not saying that kids have to play such "edutainment" games deadly seriously, be whipped if their characters die or something. On the other hand, having that as a possibility (that is, playing for real, trying to get into the Conestoga wagon mindset and get West) I think is still a good idea. Horse to water, can't make dance.
