It is not at all a choice of just one distribution. We all want what you are doing, and we cooperate to make it available everywhere. Packagers for many distributions will take hold of anything that becomes available from a suitable upstream source. I am copying this to Jonas Smedagaard, a Debian packager who can give you better advice than I can on getting started. Anything in a Debian package is likely to flow through to Ubuntu, Edubuntu, and other distributions fairly rapidly. You can also get help putting your software into Red Hat Fedora, and from there into another whole stream of distributions. I am copying this to Greg DeKoenigsberg, a Red Hat community organizer, who can help you make the right contacts there. Those two will get your software launched in all of the most popular distributions, including several education-specific distributions, and numerous language-specific distributions around the world. If you would like to follow up on that, you can contact the localization groups for Fedora, Debian, and Ubuntu. Lastly, I would suggest getting your software into Sugar for the One Laptop Per Child XO and other systems. You should join the Sugar Development mailing list at http://lists.sugarlabs.org for that. Again, Sugar software feeds to Fedora, Debian, and so on from there, and Sugar is being localized into something like 80 languages. Sugar has well over a million education users, with many more on the way. > You can download the application from www.mekanimo.net. > > Also I have a 5 min video at > http://mekanimomedia.s3.amazonaws.com/tangram/Tangram.html > > If you try the application, I would appreciate your feedback about that too. > > Thanks in advance, > > Fahri Basegmez > _______________________________________________ > Edu-sig mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig > -- Silent Thunder (默雷/धर्ममेघशब्दगर्ज/دھرممیگھشبدگر ج) is my name And Children are my nation.
