At PyCon 2004, a BoF discussed ways to get grant money for Python development. The initial target of the funding requests will be for the development of a "Fat Python" distribution. This will take the form of a bootable CDROM. The application on the CD will cover a variety of educational topics, in addition to teaching introductory computer programming. We plan to develop a demo version of the CDROM in parallel with writing a grant request for funding.

This project is discussed on [http://starship.python.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/python-grants the python-grants list].

See also PythonEducationalDistribution by the Seattle Python Interest Group. They are creating a Windows CD. Also, the Python EduSig list has discussed using [http://www.morphix.org/modules/news/ Morphix] to create a bootable custom CD. I would encourage you to get in touch with both these groups.

Target

  • Current thinking is to focus educational/scientific applications.
  • interested beginners, include everything needed for starting

Core Contents

Extensions

There are some ready to go apps like

  • library automation
  • Plone based school setup

that may show something good out of the box. -- MikeRovner DateTime(2004-04-09T18:59:28Z)
