<h1>TUX&GNU@school - 6th edition</h1>
|
||
|
||
<p><i>More or less regularly the column <a href=
|
||
"http://www.unormal.org/alis/tagatschool6.en.html">TUX&GNU@school
|
||
[2]</a> reports about free software, a homepage on topic and an
|
||
easy to implement idea. This month I talk about <a href=
|
||
"http.//www.qcad.org/">QCad [3]</a>, a free 2D-CAD program, about
|
||
the homepage of <a href=
|
||
"http://www.schoolforge.net">Schoolforge.net [4]</a>, and about the
|
||
idea "Children make music".</i></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Welcome to the 6th edition. Meanwhile it's about one year since
|
||
I published the first <a href=
|
||
"http://www.unormal.org/alis/tagatschool1.en.html">edition [5]</a>
|
||
of TUX&GNU@school, but this is even only the 6th one. But I
|
||
wasn't able to report "every month" and that's the reason why I
|
||
altered this in the introduction to "more or less regularly". But
|
||
the attempt of reporting monthly should be sustained and when I'm
|
||
able to respect a regular respectively monthly cycle' I'll realter
|
||
the introduction. At this point I would like to refer to the new <a
|
||
href=
|
||
"http://www.fsfeurope.org/activities/education/tgs/tgs.fr.html">French
|
||
[6]</a> translation of this column. Thank you for the whole work
|
||
Anne-Marie Mahfouf, it's due to her we have another translation.
|
||
Furthermore you will be able to subscribe to our new newsletter
|
||
from now on. You find the place to subscribe and more information
|
||
on our <a href=
|
||
"http://www.fsfeurope.org/activities/education/tgs/">homepage
|
||
[7]</a>. These are the news of ourselves but now I want to move to
|
||
the this time's program introduction.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>QCad, a free 2D-CAD program</h3>
|
||
|
||
Up to now we introduced software for lower and middle grade at this
|
||
place. Today a programm should be mentioned which would rather be
|
||
more suitable for pupils and teachers of the upper grade.
|
||
Furthermore <a href="http://www.qcad.org">QCad [3]</a> would be
|
||
surely interesting for technical colleges and engineer schools too.
|
||
<br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>I tested the version 1.4.7 of the March 24th, 2001 under <a
|
||
href="http://www.debian.org">Debian GNU/Linux [8]</a> testing
|
||
whereas the actual version number is 1.5.4. The author Andrew
|
||
Mustun choose the GNU GPL as the license for his program. With
|
||
Debian and Debian based distribution you can install the program
|
||
with "apt-get install qcad". With rpm based distributions you
|
||
either use the corresponding package manager or type on the command
|
||
line: "rpm -i <qcad-packagename.rpm". But before I begin with
|
||
the actual introduction or inspection of the program I have to
|
||
clarify that my skills and capabilities in the CAD business aren't
|
||
good enough to become equitable to the quality and complexity of
|
||
QCad. For that reason only a short and amateurish overview at this
|
||
point. Everyone who wants to know more about it is referenced to
|
||
the <a href="http://www.qcad.org">homepage [3]</a> and the
|
||
voluminous and <a href=
|
||
"http://www.qcad.org/index.php3?body=documentation&product=qcad">
|
||
multilingual documentation [9]</a>. The program also was translated
|
||
into at least a dozen different languages. At the same time this
|
||
is, beneath the setting of the unit of measurement, the first point
|
||
which you can adapt to your needs at the first start of QCad.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><img src="./img/qcad.en.png" alt=
|
||
"Screenshot 1: QCad User Interface" width="800" height="600"
|
||
border="0" /></p>
|
||
|
||
<h5>Screenshot 1: QCad User Interface</h5>
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>Thereafter you'll see the program's interface (see screenshot
|
||
1), divided into the menu and the symbol bar at the head, the
|
||
function bar at left and the layer list and the library browser at
|
||
right. If you click on a function symbol a string of subfunctions
|
||
appear whereas when you click the right button or you push the
|
||
<ESC> you go back to the previous functions group
|
||
respectively the base functions. Part of the base functions are:
|
||
Points, Lines, Arcs, Circles, Create Texts, Dimensions, Create
|
||
hatchings, Measure, Tag and Edit. Very positive is that when you
|
||
decided for a specific function in the middle of the bottom status
|
||
bar appears a text which explains the effects of the left and right
|
||
mouse buttons. Right of this text you see a short explanation of
|
||
the chosen function. On the left side of the status bar you'll see,
|
||
with to appropriate function, the absolute and relative coordinates
|
||
of the mouse pointer position.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>When you know a little about the program and its features you
|
||
can begin to construct your own delineations. You can choose
|
||
prepackaged delineations und patterns out of the enclosed symbol
|
||
and delineation library. It contains some ball bearings, screws and
|
||
bicycle part drawings. What for a GNU/Linux program would QCad be
|
||
if it missed the well-known penguin TUX (see screenshot 2).
|
||
Furthermore it contains some form submittals. The symbol bar under
|
||
the actual menu encloses mainly buttons for file functions (Open,
|
||
Save, etc.), different zoom possibilities, the mandatory Undo and
|
||
Redo buttons as well as a few functions for the presentations of
|
||
the lines or the worksheet ifself.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><img src="./img/qcad-tux.en.png" alt=
|
||
"Screenshot 2: QCad with a Tux delineation" width="800" height=
|
||
"600" border="0" /></p>
|
||
|
||
<h5>Screenshot 2: QCad with a Tux delineation</h5>
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>When the mechanical engineer in spe finished her first layout
|
||
she can save it in the formats: Drawing Exchange (*.cxf), EPS
|
||
(*.eps) or Font (*.cxf). QCad can, in addition to said file formats
|
||
(except EPS), open and edit the Microstation (*.dgn) and HPGL
|
||
(*.plt *.hpgl *.inc) formats. You might get the impression that the
|
||
software is be "only" useful in technical jobs and schools whereas
|
||
it needs maybe only a brave teacher who grapples with QCad and
|
||
tries to use it in his geometry lessons.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>As far as the introduction of the 2D-CAD software QCad. What's
|
||
left are only two things for the conclusion: Firstly, QCad was
|
||
ported on several platforms it consequently don't runs only on the
|
||
(mostly) homelike ix86 machine. And secondly, thanks a lot to
|
||
Mustun and his <a href=
|
||
"http://www.qcad.org/index.php3?body=about&product=qcad">numerous
|
||
helpers [10]</a> for this wonderful piece of software.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>But now continues to the homepage of this edition.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>schoolforge.net - Working together to unleash the power of open
|
||
source tools in education</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>This time I would like to present the organisation resp. the <a
|
||
href="http://www.schoolforge.net">website schoolforge.net [4]</a>.
|
||
But because at the moment it's only available in English this
|
||
introduction shall happen based on its structure. Hence it's
|
||
divided in the following seven sections: <i>Home</i>, <i>What is
|
||
Schoolforge</i>, <i>Schoolforge Members</i>, <i>News Resources</i>,
|
||
<i>Software Resources</i>, <i>Other Resources</i> und <i>Mailing
|
||
Lists and Chat</i>. But before I begin the actual presentation I'm
|
||
used to remark that a participation with Schoolforge mandatory
|
||
requires that you resp. the contact person to Schoolforge can read
|
||
and write in English at least to some extent.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>On the <a href="http://www.schoolforge.net">front-side
|
||
[4]</a>(see Screenshot 3) you'll not find that much but enough to
|
||
get an overview. On the upper border as on all the following sides
|
||
you see the logo of Schoolforge. Thereunder left you see the
|
||
obgligatory navigation bar mit the seven ahead called items and
|
||
thereof right the virtual content of the correspondent site. On the
|
||
first page this is a short introduction to Schoolforge followed by
|
||
the up to date news. Owns a site even more navigation items are
|
||
these likewise under the normal navigation bar. By the way
|
||
Schoolforge exists already since the 8th january 2002 which means
|
||
it's soon one and a half years old.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><img src="./img/schoolforge.en.png" alt=
|
||
"Screenshot 3: Homepage of Schoolforge.net" width="800" height=
|
||
"600" border="0" /></p>
|
||
|
||
<h5>Screenshot 3: Homepage of Schoolforge.net</h5>
|
||
|
||
<br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>If you are the first time on schoolforge.net you're surely
|
||
interested in the item "What is Schoolforge" which means nothing
|
||
else than, guessed right: <a href=
|
||
"http://www.schoolforge.net/what.php">"What is Schoolforge"
|
||
[11]</a>. At this place they indicate that Schoolforge is no new
|
||
organisation but quasi a umbrella organisation or a communication
|
||
channel for different groupings with the mutual goal to patronize
|
||
open ressources at school. Therefore the primary objective is not
|
||
only free software. For a future membership it's surely important
|
||
to know that you can't participate as a single person. Only
|
||
organisations can become a member. But they elect a contact person
|
||
who represents the vote for the corresponding organisation.
|
||
Generally Schoolforge tries to yoke forces, to avoid duplicative
|
||
work and to ameliorate the communication between the single
|
||
arrangements in groups. Another reference under this item are the
|
||
<a href="http://www.schoolforge.net/procedures.php">"Schoolforge
|
||
Operating Procedures" [12]</a> on the one hand which specifies what
|
||
you have to do and leave as a member and on the other hand the item
|
||
<a href="http://www.schoolforge.net/membership.php">"Becoming a
|
||
Member" [13]</a>. There is a short description where and what you
|
||
have to do to become a member.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>At this place I would like to show a bit more detailed interest
|
||
in the "Schoolforge Operating Procedures". The membership with
|
||
Schoolforge means primary a meliorated communication whereas the
|
||
mailing lists are the central start-up. On the other hand
|
||
Schoolforge is used to be a uniform face to the outside. All
|
||
members should place links and references on their homepages as a
|
||
return service. Beneath this relatively little sanction the single
|
||
members own a little more responsibility. The corresponding contact
|
||
person resp. the whole group should actively collaborate i.e. to
|
||
post something on the mailing lists from time to time. Each and
|
||
every month they elect a new vote counter which is responsible for
|
||
the correct interpretation. Additionally another member of
|
||
Schoolforge is responsible for the website Schoolforge.net and its
|
||
maintenance. The last item I want to mention here is fact that new
|
||
ideas and projects should preferably be made public and discussed
|
||
here to avoid duplicated work and if applicable to build on already
|
||
available knowledge.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>When you follow the third link in the navigation bar you arrive
|
||
at a site where all <a href=
|
||
"http://www.schoolforge.net/members.php">members in alphabetical
|
||
order [14]</a> are listed. At the top you'll also find a link which
|
||
directs you to a somehow more <a href=
|
||
"http://www.schoolforge.net/members1.php">detailed list of members
|
||
[15]</a>. Currently these are more than 140 organisations. On the
|
||
page of the <a href="http://www.schoolforge.net/news.php">"News
|
||
Resources" [16]</a>are links to websites which regularly offer news
|
||
on topic. Some of them are e.g. <a href=
|
||
"http://opensourceschools.org">Opensourceschools.org [17]</a> as a
|
||
little journal, <a href="http://www.seul.org/edu">seul.org/edu
|
||
[18]</a> who publishes a <a href=
|
||
"http://www.seul.org/edu/reports.html">report [19]</a> every two
|
||
weeks or as well as <a href=
|
||
"http://www.schoolforge.net/sfdiscuss.php">schoolforge own mailing
|
||
lists [20]</a>. The <a href=
|
||
"http://www.schoolforge.net/software.php">"Software Resources"
|
||
[21]</a> too contain mostly links to corresponding projects whereas
|
||
I would like to mention to following ones in extracts: the <a href=
|
||
"http://richtech.ca./seul">application index [22]</a> of <a href=
|
||
"http://www.seul.org/edu">SEUL/edu [17]</a>, the <a href=
|
||
"http://www.debian.org">Debian [7]</a> subproject <a href=
|
||
"http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-jr">"Debian Jr." [23]</a> and
|
||
the <a href="http://edu.kde.org">KDE Edutainment project [24]</a>
|
||
whose contact person to Schoolforge is responsible for the <a href=
|
||
"http://www.fsfeurope.org/activities/education/tgs/tgs.fr.html">French
|
||
translation of "TUX&GNU@school" [6]</a> by the way. On the left
|
||
of the page for the "Software Resources" there is still a topical
|
||
listing of the newest entries to the application database of
|
||
SEUL/edu.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Still some links to further interesting and helpful website on
|
||
topic are on the second last item under <a href=
|
||
"http://www.schoolforge.net/other.php">"Other Resources" [25]</a>.
|
||
Inherent are the <a href=
|
||
"http://richtech.ca/seul/casedex.html">database with success
|
||
stories resp. case studies of Linux at school [26]</a>, a <a href=
|
||
"http://seuldat.seul.org">link collection on topic [27]</a> and an
|
||
<a href="http://seuldat.seul.org/npo/">open database of Needs,
|
||
Problems and Opportunities (NPO) in usage of technology in
|
||
education [28]</a>. And finally on the last item you can find <a
|
||
href="http://www.schoolforge.net/sfdiscuss.php">information to the
|
||
mailing lists [20]</a> whereas there is a link to the online
|
||
archive too. Furthermore there is specified how, when and where
|
||
it's possible to meet people on the IRC.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Well this was a short presentation of Schoolforge an IMHO (in my
|
||
humble opinion) very useful organisation on topic "GNU/Linux at
|
||
school" but now proceed to the idea of this edition.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>"Children make music"</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>Until now at this place I introduced a little idea which could
|
||
be implemented by a clever programmer in zero time. But at the
|
||
moment I'm not sure if this is still of interest because I didn't
|
||
receive any implementations for the last few ideas. Were the ideas
|
||
too banal, too difficult, wasn't it interesting or what do you
|
||
think about it ? Please send me your opinions and ideas about this
|
||
to <a href="mailto:foxman@lugo.ch">[1]</a>. But even more
|
||
interesting and important for me would be if the ideas and wishes
|
||
were right out of the practice, i.e. from teachers, tutors and
|
||
instructors who teach themselves and know what they miss.</p>
|
||
|
||
But nonetheless here is this edition's idea which came to me when I
|
||
played with <a href=
|
||
"http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/tuxpaint">Tuxpaint [29]</a> <a
|
||
href="http://www.unormal.org/alis/tagatschool5.de.html">[30]</a>.
|
||
Surely all of you who already tried out Tuxpaint know that some
|
||
stamps have sounds and noises associated with them. When you now
|
||
click more than one time on the corresponding symbol and in a
|
||
moment include several other stamps from time to time an
|
||
interesting tone pattern appears. It would surely be quite simple
|
||
to write out of this idea a short program that contains several
|
||
buttons. These buttons would be underlied by different sounds and
|
||
noises on which you could click on the top of one's bent. A
|
||
recording function would round off this idea and give the Mozarts
|
||
and Beethovens of tomorrow another useful tool. <br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>I'd be glad to hear some noises come out of this corner and
|
||
going on now to the news of this edition.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>News and up to date program versions</h3>
|
||
|
||
<h4>FREEDUC published in version 1.3</h4>
|
||
|
||
<p>A few weeks ago the version 1.3 of <a href=
|
||
"http://www.ofset.org/projects/edusoft/edusoft.html">FREEDUC
|
||
[31]</a> was released. FREEDUC is a Distribution based on the
|
||
well-known <a href="http://www.knoppix.de">Knoppix [32]</a> whose
|
||
main purpose is the demonstration of free educational software.
|
||
Which software exactly you'll find on it is written <a href=
|
||
"http://www.ofset.org/projects/edusoft/packages.txt.gz">here
|
||
[33]</a> (Attention: *.txt.gz file).</p>
|
||
|
||
<h4>Linux certificates for Austrian pupils</h4>
|
||
|
||
<p>Since the first <a href=
|
||
"http://www.pressetext.at/pte.mc?021206035">publication [34]</a>
|
||
already some time went by but even though I would like to mention
|
||
it here once more. At Austrion schools now it seems to be possible
|
||
to make resp. receive a GNU/Linux certification.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h4>www.BSI-fuer-Buerger.de launched</h4>
|
||
|
||
<p>Some weeks ago the German <a href="http://www.bsi.de">BSI -
|
||
Bundesamt f<>r Sicherheit in der Informationstechologie
|
||
[35]</a> (Federal Office for information technology security)
|
||
launched a new <a href="http://www.bsi-fuer-buerger.de">information
|
||
site [36]</a> <i>(German only)</i> for their citizens. The
|
||
information you can find there don't belong directly to free
|
||
software and GNU/Linux but are nonetheless very interesting and
|
||
easy to understand. They explain you common terms as "internet" and
|
||
his functionality but on the other hand they show an interest in
|
||
security aspects too. At this place I would like to reference to
|
||
the IMHO ingenious simple explanation of the internet from the
|
||
"Sachgeschichten" (stories about how things work) of the German <a
|
||
href="http://www.sendung-mit-der-maus.de/">"Sendung mit der Maus"
|
||
[37]</a> (telecast for children in the German tv). You can download
|
||
this short and quite easy comprehensible movie <a href=
|
||
"http://www.wdrmaus.de/service/download/?lang=de/">here
|
||
[38]</a>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h4>GCompris with new major release</h4>
|
||
|
||
<p>Foremost a few weeks ago Bruno Coudoin released version 3.0
|
||
followed by GCompris 3.1 some days ago. The most important changes
|
||
are the bypassing of error of the gnome-canvas library which wasn't
|
||
remedied until then and the possibility to write new boards in
|
||
python. Furthermore there are some new boards as with each new
|
||
version of course. You can find the exact details on the Homepage
|
||
of <a href="http://www.ofset.org/gcompris">GCompris [39]</a>. Right
|
||
here I wouldn't like to omit to congratulate Bruno to his <a href=
|
||
"http://www.sil-centril.org/trophees/projecst/educ.html">success
|
||
[40]</a> at the <a href=
|
||
"http://www.tropheedulibre.org">TropheeduLibre.org [41]</a>. Go
|
||
on.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h4>KTouch with new version</h4>
|
||
|
||
<p>KTouch is available in a new version too since a few weeks that
|
||
is to say 1.3. You can extract the exact changes and features on
|
||
the <a href="http://ktouch.sf.net">homepage [42]</a>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h4>SkoleLinux as prerelease38</h4>
|
||
|
||
<p><a href="http://www.skolelinux.no">SkoleLinux [43]</a> is a
|
||
Debian based distribution from norway which is specifically made
|
||
for education purposes. Meanwhile there is also a <a href=
|
||
"http://www.skolelinux.de">German homepage [44]</a> and a German
|
||
team which adapts the distribution to the local conditions.
|
||
Unfortunately there is no stable release till now of this promising
|
||
distribution. Nonetheless they released the preversion pre38 for
|
||
testing some weeks ago. By the way SkoleLinux the first
|
||
distribution I know that productively uses the new <a href=
|
||
"http://people.debian.org/~mckinstry/ports-status.html">Debian-Installer
|

[45]</a>.</p>

<h4>About the author:</h4>
|
||
|
||
<p>Mario Fux finished 1999 the PrimarlehrerInnenseminar in Brig
|
||
after he made up mathematical and natural scientifical matura. In a
|
||
body with two colleagues he founded the <a href=
|
||
"http://www.edux.ch">"ALIS - Arbeitsgruppe Linux an Schulen"</a>
|
||
(Swiss work group for linux at school). And if he once doesn't
|
||
spend his time in front of the PC, he sits at his nature pond in
|
||
the <a href="http://www.randa.ch">mountains</a>.</p>
