This is the master todo list for PythonCd:
 * (./) adapted my scripts for automizing remastering process.
 * (./) removed stuff not needed from KNOPPIX
 * (./) installed a ton of python packages that i found in debian, still space left
 * (./) installed eric3 - works!
 * images and logos
  * pythonic background image, see http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/pyBiblio/images/ - snake.png
   * needs to get 1024x768, so that snake is aligned top right (bsetbg command cant align top right)
   * thanks to Paul Carduner
  * lilo boot image - maybe derived from http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/py4fun/ ?
  * logo for top left of local moinmoin wiki
 * (./) make wiki running, glue other docs - main page for live CD wiki is PythonCd
 * I will need some experienced helpers and testers, so if you are interested, please join in here.
 * we need some server to distribute this, anybody sponsoring space and bandwidth?

Ideas (additional to them on EducationalCd):
 * add the Windows python stuff also on the linux cd, if there is enough space		 For improving the PythonCd, we need some experienced helpers and testers, so if you are interested, please join in here! If you know how to make debian packages (or where to find them), provide some hints where to get the stuff not yet installed.

 * starship.python.net (acceptable use?)
 * python.org ("when it is ready").
 * Also, we could create a bittorrent file for the ISO image to ease server bandwidth. And find some CD pressing service that lets people purchase a copy of the CD by mail for only a few bucks.
  * for bittorrent we need a tracker AFAIK, starship.python.net maybe?
  * then, the people taking part in development could keep just their torrent client running
 * ToDo: maybe somebody else could contact some University in the US/Canada? Just check if it is possible to mirror the ISO there.

For improving the PythonCd, we need some experienced helpers and testers, so if you are interested, please join in here! If you know how to make debian packages (or where to find them), provide some hints where to get the stuff not yet installed.

Current package list: PythonCdRawPackageList

Software

Graphics and Fun stuff

  • images and logos

  • that "introducing python" mpeg (250MB) is much too big to fit on the PythonCd (on a DVD, it would fit, of course ;) - does anybody have a smaller version with acceptable quality? target should be 25..100MB.

    • KevinAltis made a smaller version of the movie, but it is Quicktime, so that wouldn't work.

Hosting / Mirrors for ISO image distribution

We need some server to distribute this, anybody sponsoring space and bandwidth? Possibilities:

  • (./) Uni Erlangen - Currently this is the primary site, see PythonCdDownload.

  • starship.python.net (acceptable use?)
  • python.org ("when it is ready").
  • Also, we could create a bittorrent file for the ISO image to ease server bandwidth. And find some CD pressing service that lets people purchase a copy of the CD by mail for only a few bucks.

    • then, the people taking part in development could keep just their torrent client running

  • ToDo: maybe somebody else could contact some University in the US/Canada? Just check if it is possible to mirror the ISO there.

Unsorted / Todo from EducationalCd

There are some ready to go apps like

  • library automation
  • Plone based school setup

that may show something good out of the box. -- MikeRovner 2004-04-09 18:59:28
