Videos of OOo4Kids online

[eric b-3]

Hi,

FYI, Jean-Marie Lafon and Ben Bois (OOo4Kids designer) have made a video
presenting OOo4Kids 0.5.1, a light OpenOffice.org dedicated to the 7-12,
and who aims to make students discover and learn OpenOffice.org source code.

Sorry, the video is in french, but an english version will be proposed
soon. Nevertheless, it looks promising :-)

If an English version is available, can you ping me? Then I'll twitter
and blog about it. ;)

Thanks, I'll forward :)

Sure, we'll do. And if you want to help us to create a german version,
feel free to join the move !

Thank you very much !

If you want to know our main need, this is extremely simple : donations.

As example, we didn't receive enough to help me to attend Orvieto, so no
OOoCon for me this year  :-/

That's a pity, because we have something to show, but no money. For
example, I did a portable version I'll name OOo4KidsPortable or
something like that (fr only today, but can lot of locales). The problem
is we don't have enough of money to buy USB keys, and so on ... to start
saling them, and finaly win some money, allowing us to improve the
Education Project effort (e.g.)

If you want to discuss more, you can see me on #education.openoffice.org
IRC channel (server is irc.freenode.net ). Thus, I'll provide you a very
simple way to meet Ben Bois too, just in case ;)

Regards,
Eric

P.S. : did you solve the garbage with your fonts ? I think I can provide
you a version, you could launch in command line, and pass the values you
want (dpi_X, dpi_Y), until find the less bad, or the best if ever we are
lucky.

I currently look into an option to get a free professional speaker for
Germanophone videos. It'll take a while, but maybe that would be an
option also for the translation of your videos. ;-)

I see, I have similar issues sometimes. However, for OOoCon, there are
bursaries available, of about 300 €. This will not cover all costs, for
sure, but it will make it easier for people to attend. If you are
looking for the bursary, I would happily give you my support, as
education is an important topic.

For USB drives, the marketing project might be able to help, if we sell
these through the project - just like we do with t-shirts and such.

Maybe we phone after the conference? That's the most easy thing. :-) I
hope to meet Ben personally, as he now moved to Germany.

Didn't solve my problem yet - if you can provide with a version, that
would be great!

Probably not enough when I see the donations level (
http://download.ooo4kids.org )  :-/

Well, whoever sales them, is not a problem, but we'd like to receive at
least one (more is accepted ;-)  ) euro / sale reversed to the
association. If this is possible, this is ok for me.

Our point is to become independant. Sun controls everything, and this is
not good for freedom. Just my opinion.

I'm not a phone user, sorry. And yes, would be awesome, an highly
symbolic you and ben to meet together, indeed !

Ok, at the end of the coming week (cannot promise, but should be ok),
I'll provide you a special version of OOo4Kids (german). You'll receive
more information in private (how to launch it, how to test parameters,
an so on).

Plus you'll test something great : I replaced 82 icons (Sun copyrighted)
to make OOo4Kids more OpenOffice.org rules respectfull. The game for you
will be to find the remaining one, and to tell me ;)

This will be not easy for you -(testing on Mac OS X - because, so far,
those icons do not appear really on Mac, but on Linux and Windows, so I
started the strong cleanup (will be for the 0.6 soon ). Anyway, to help
you, Wndows version will be available soon too (I'll even put the
changes in the portable version asap).


Regards,
Eric

You're right : behind the software, it is question to promote  
OpenOffice.org anyway.

The link for the download is :  http://download.ooo4kids.org

but the money we get back from t-shirts (as donations) goes into the
general OpenOffice.org project budget and can be used from there. I
think it is important to handle everything equal.
The education project is a sub project of the OpenOffice.org project and
should be handled in this way.
It is an important project and Eric helps a lot to bring it forward but
it is a normal sub project. Budget can be requested in the normal way.

I'm still open for having OOo4Kids as an official part of the OOo
project. IMHO, we have lots of funds available. Sure we have to spend
them wisely, but for this years OOoCon, 300 € would have been funded,
which should help most people in attending. Sure, there might be some
money you need to pay yourself, but if you get a cheap flight and hotel,
the 300 € help a lot.

We have different views on Sun's involvement, I think. ;-) However, I
still would love to see OOo4Kids as an official part of the OOo project.
 From your words I tend to see you are not looking into this anymore? Is
this right? :-(

That would be great! I'll try to meet him, he actually lives about 20 km
or so from a good friend of mine, so I can do a visit easily someday.
:-) Just need to find some time...

That's great, thanks a lot! Looking forward to testing, because I still
have my problems, even with 3.2 Beta and Snow Leopard.

+1. At least for the current funding process, this is the right way to go.

why ask you Florian, Eric pointed out that it is part of the education
project. And the education project is a subproject of OpenOffice.org.
If that is wrong we should clarify some things...

Just my 2 cents

Hi,

FYI, Italien an english versions of the vidéos are now available. Kudos
to the Marina Latini and her incredible Italien Team, who did the
Italien version at the light speed, and to Gabriel Gurley for his big
contribution to the english one.
