Clear message

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).

There are some ready to go apps like

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