About Debian EzGo

DebianEzGo is a project to integrate EzGo into Debian to share its effort with whole Debian community. We aims to provide culture-based open and free technology with native language support and appropriate user friendly, lightweight and fast desktop environment for low powerful/cost hardwares to empower human capacity building and technology development in many areas and regions, like Africa, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Vietnam using Debian.

EzGo is a set of free software collection as LiveCD aims to promote the usage of free software on teaching and self-learning. It includes open tools and open content for both Linux and Windows systems.

The main contributors behind this project are:

• Bamboo Community University
• LXDE project
• Ministry of Education Taiwan
• oneVillage Foundation
• OSSACC
• SLAT

We are looking for more contributors, please join us.

Concept

EzGo's target are new and first time linux users. Which is making a user interface and art work on top of a distribution of Linux which is easy, especially for the new user.

Key design aims are:

• Ease of installation and setup. The system pre-installed with all applications that users may needed, rather than needing additional installation and extensive configurations.
• Features which will be familiar and easy to use for users familiar with other operating systems (except where there is a compelling reason to do things differently).

Strategy

The strategy is to use:

• EasyLXDE - a DebianPureBlends project

• WeStart menu - a sorted category menu structure

• Open Content - Teaching/Self-learning materials

• Specific User friendly Art works for each EzGo release

Background

The EzGo is a LiveCD created by OSS Application Consulting Centre (OSSACC) which is a Ministry of Education Taiwan funded project, and its executive the Software Liberty Association of Taiwan (SLAT).

It is a set of free software collection aims to promote the usage of free software on teaching and self-learning. It includes open tools and open content for both Linux and Windows systems.

The motivations for this project were initialed from Skoleinux gathering at Oslo, Norway since 2008, AndrewLee and EricSun both attended the gathering and learnt many things and experience.

Then later on 2009, Debian project hold the first Debian Mini Conference in Taiwan during the International Conference on Open Source(ICOS) 2009. While the opening of the mini-DebConf, the OSS Application Consulting Centre proudly announced that the next version of EzGo will be based on Debian.

During the fun off-side event of mini-DebConf, the momentum of discussion from Jonas Smedegaard, Prof. Lee-Yen, oneVillage Foundation and Bamboo Community University drives AndrewLee to initials this Debian EzGo project to integrated EzGo's effort into Debian.
