As you know we had the opportunity of a report on the local Russian TV of Tomsk (see http://www.tvtomsk.ru/news-6999.html). We obtained the authorization to use the video on our website. So Sergey gave me an English version of the text that I used to subtitle the video in English. I think this text can be improved so I copied it below for your proofreading. Feel free to modify it as required but try to keep short sentences in order to have a reasonable flow of words on screen. Thank you in advance, JM. ========================= George, age 8, like many of his fellows spends a lot of time behind a PC. Now he's examining a new software specially designed for children. “I've studied almost everything about computers. The system hardly teaches me anything but this is great!” This is the point from where DoudouLinux creators started: kids are sure they're playing but in fact they're developing many skills. The programs are educational and entertaining for kids from 2 years and up. Digits, colors and letters for the smallest children; mathematics, geography and foreign languages for the older ones. The user interface is so simple that a kid can use it by himself. And his parents can rest assured about their important data on PC. “DoudouLinux system is loaded from a separate CD and does not need user or system data stored on PC. Children can try everything, click whatever they want without fear: it's guaranteed that they won't alter any data.” DoudouLinux is based on the well-known Debian Linux. The first Russian version was released and is available thanks to Tomsk enthusiasts from Institute of Applied Informatics of TSPU. “We have translated text: menus and messages in the first version. It's published on the project website. Next phase is full localization of the system and its components including translation of sound messages.” The program is distributed free of charge and may become an irreplaceable assistant for many parents. Children may have an opportunity to teach, play and grow. Moreover, PC skills learned will be useful to them in the future, for sure.

It is available online to a private audience for now but will lead to an official article on our website. You can download the FLV video from the freshly installed file sharing system of our server: http://www.doudoulinux.org/share/file.php?h=R2b5b31b5285f3108488a7457c2ddb1ba It weights 8 MB. Comments are welcome, especially to improve the English subtitles. I had to shorten a bit the translated text in order to keep a reasonable flow of words on screen. Note that the latest words of Gosha are missing (and I really cannot understand what he's saying). Cheers, JM. _______________________________________________ Doudoulinux-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/doudoulinux-dev
