(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi Robert, thank you very much for all your suggest that I will try to follow. Right now, I'm a bit stopped with Edupup.
I hope to develop again soon, but my paying work are asking for me so I don't have anymore too time to dedicate Edupup. As for the screenshot, I can remember I found that image on the net and I asked to a russian guy the permission to use it. I never received answer so I used it.
I believe it is not a big issue for Warner Bross; it is just an image for an opensource project downloaded from thousands of people with 0 donations , so ...

I have just been to the nursery where Edupup + Gcompris is being trialled by 30 pre-schoolers (3-4 year olds)

Tuxpuck - too difficult
Supertux - too far over their heads
Ri-li - same as above. I was being conceted putting that one in as no one had made a pet of it. It was my one and only package contrribution.

Is EduPup still an active, developing release? The web site seems to be down.

Greg

looks like you can still download it from http://www.giovelug.org/index.php?lng=i ... indice&c=1
I have seen much of slapshot in the past year. But who knows.

Thanks ttuxx.

I noticed some feedback from sidders concerning the various games and how the kids used them. Does anyone else have observations or experience with EduPup that they would like to share?

Greg

I have been in touch with him, but a while ago. I tried to set up a GIT server and then use a free one, but couldnt get it to work so we could work on it together.


I was inspired by Edupup and made Hansamben (still waiting for an appropriate name). Stuck it on the forum and it evolved. This is the original thread:

Then it turned out as:

Forget the pre-release in the title, there are so many ideas turning up on the forum, its really a constant WIP.

I downloaded EduPup and Hansamben and will be trying them out with my kids (5 yrs old and 3 yrs old) soon.

I work for a school system and I really see a need for programs like these that can utilize old hardware that would normally go to waste.

Greg

It could save a small fortune. I have it in a couple of nurseries and am going to approach the local primary.

Good. I have similar plans. That's why I'd like to tweak EduPup so the programs will be appropriate and pertinent for their grade/skill levels.

Greg

Next time I bootup 2.14X I'll compile some kids games, Probably the ones used in this release, I think 2.14X would make a great base, better than 3.0 since it has a older kernel, but newer updated backend.

LJFR has compiled a lot of kids stuff including Childsplay here

But probably in 412 for ASRI

Thanks!
