 * PythonCd is the main page for the wiki on the bootable CD

= Core Contents =
 * Core Python distribution, latest version, installed and as installable archive
 * Documentation
  * at least on PythonCd, use a running MoinMoin wiki as documentation "glue logic"
   * I want to just mirror some internet wiki content to that local CD wiki. The question is, which internet wiki may we use? Is it ok, to just use this python.org wiki? Can we get a tgz of text/*? Is it possible to upgrade the python.org wiki so it runs moin 1.2.x? Or shall we better use another wiki and duplicate what we need there?

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.

ThomasWaldmann has started concrete work on PythonCd (that's the main page for the wiki on the bootable CD).

Target

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

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)
