Hello debian developpers.
"Ordissimo" is a range of personal computers (five models at the start
of 2019), intended for beginners and "all those who do not want to
complicate their life with computers". The first model was developed
from early 2003, then marketed from December 2004, by the company
Ordissimo (formerly Substantiel), created in 2002. The licenses of the
various software integrated in the Linux Ordissimo distribution are
detailed by the distributor .
The source codes of the free software used and adapted are published by
the distributor.
It is based on enlightment desktop environnement, debian stable.
It could be interesting to fork this os to make a simple computer and a
debian for dummies and the elderly.
As you mention a business project, let me introduce the Hypra project:
half users are more than 75 years, more than 1000 persons learnt using a
computer and the INternet on this system. This system is simply a usable
Debian out of the box on a pre-tested computer. The Hypra repos enable:
- to apply patches before Debian when useful
- choosing different software releases when updates introduce regression
of accessibility
- apply settings making more friendly the interface but not acceptable
upstream or in Debian by the traditional community
The desktop is MATE, making Debian accessible for anyone, even disable
eldery persons, eg. visual disable ones.
In other way if you speak french you could help "emmabüntus" os
distribution and debian facile ISO and website in order to develop
handymenu and translate debian documentation to english.
Unfortunately, such projects need just manpower, free or paid. The
non-Web GUI skills are so rare, finding volunteers about it is nearly
impossible for this specific target. All the more if not paid. Beyond
the mainstream development, such persons need a universal-design
approach, a global approach in the design, that is far from the master
culture in the free software communities. If we do, yes, Debian can be
used out of servers, on desktop, including disable and/or old persons.
Needs mainly affect upstream, the Debian accessibility team makes a high
work from the existing things.
Regards
Thanks .
Cordially.
Mr Philippe
