Hello! I'm very glad to announce that DoudouLinux 2.0 Hyperborea is now officially out :). After 2 years of development, this new major version is providing many great new features [1] with fully redesigned advanced activities, new graphics, new applications, a new installer, etc. Available in 43 languages, this release is nearly occurring 3 years after the birth of our project in 2010, which shows the interest our project has gained all around the world. As usual you can download it from:
http://download.doudoulinux.org/ But DoudouLinux is not just a CD/DVD of educative stuffs for children. DoudouLinux is now a vast project on its own. We have published with version 2.0 a manifesto [2] that defines the philosophy and the ethics of our project: we want our children be able to fully master the digital world they are going to live in, instead of undergoing it. As a result we now feel very concerned about user privacy [3], especially when it comes to children. DoudouLinux also wants to drive children (and their parents) to projects with a similar philosophy as ours: Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap, Open CLipart Library, etc. As you can see, DoudouLinux can do more than just collecting children-oriented applications and that is what we have started to do.

Many different skills have been involved: developers and testers of course, but also drawers, translators, writers, promoters, sysadmins, and so. Without the help of the community, DoudouLinux would never be what it is now. Also he will never reach all his ambitious objectives either if people do not keep involved and if the community does not keep growing at it has been amazingly growing since 3 years, while it really started from zero. Our success just shows that DoudouLinux is answering issues that no other distribution was addressing before. We are on the good way and should continue on this way! Our next step, DoudouLinux 3.0, is to move to a Debian Wheezy base with a multilingual DVD and a set of 700MB CD's targeting the older computers (486 processors). This evolution will make DoudouLinux better run on ARM™ computers, especially the Raspberry PI we hope. The DVD will also be able to include more applications than it is now including and probably more digital contents. Yes we want DoudouLinux to be always better! -- Cheers, JM.
