Lernid @ Ubuntu Open Week

Ubuntu Open Week is the time when the long-distance learning application Lernid comes to the fore. Today I attended three sessions, the first was the tail end of a discussion on translating Ubuntu. Next up was how to help the Ubuntu Community, followed by an excellent Inkscape for beginners tutorial from DoctorMo in which I discovered the joys of drag 'n drop in a graphic application which is steadily developing into a power package. Just having some online interaction, with a mentor putting up pages does wonders for learning and I can see lernid being used in other pedogological /educational situations.

Dosbox Wizard

GR-Lida is a nifty Dosbox front-end which makes setting up games in Dosbox, ScummVM and VDMsound a lot easier. Nice piece of work for those who want to explore classic PC games.

Ubuntu Anarchy

Ubuntu fits in with the broad anarchist vision of a stateless society where people live in cooperation with each other through voluntary aid, sharing of resources and non-aggression.

You can install the anarchism FAQ

sudo apt-get install anarchism

70 000 free fonts for Ubuntu

I still remember the days when having more than 100 fonts on your system meant you were probably in advertising. This bowls me over:
