Hello Debian Jr. Team, small report of things which has been started this and last week. Also things I would like to do in 2022. * What's new? * Project goal * Tasks * Homepage # What's new? ## Wiki Page I added some information on the wiki page https://wiki.debian.org/DebianJr ## Debian Jr. Team blog Yesterday, I created a Debian Jr. Blog Page https://debian-jr-team.pages.debian.net/blog/ I think it would be very helpful for Debian Jr. Users. ## Packages junior-doc: I will adopt junior-doc (#848987) 1.16.3 will have the Debian Jr. Team as Maintainer and myself as uploader. I still have some issues with the access rights on salsa. I guess, I need to be added as maintainer. https://salsa.debian.org/debian/junior-doc/-/merge_requests/1/diffs debian-junior: I also prepared 1.30 for debian-junior. Added myself as Uploader and did some small changes. # Project goal The goal of Debian Junior is to make Debian an OS that children will enjoy using. ---- %< ---- %< ---- %< ---- %< ---- %< ---- %< ---- %< ---- %< Debian Junior: Debian for children from 1 to 99 * To make Debian an OS that children of all ages will want to use, preferring it over the alternatives. * To care for those applications in Debian suitable for children, and ensure their quality, to the best of our abilities. * To make Debian a playground for children's enjoyment and exploration. The main target is young children. By the time children are teenaged, they should be comfortable with using Debian without any special modifications. ---- %< ---- %< ---- %< ---- %< ---- %< ---- %< ---- %< ---- %< https://blends.debian.org/blends/ch04.html#debian-jr ---- %< ---- %< ---- %< ---- %< ---- %< ---- %< ---- %< ---- %< Debian Jr. (http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-jr) is an internal project to make Debian an OS that children of all ages will want to use. Our initial focus will be on producing something for children up to age 8. Once we have accomplished this, our next target age range is 7 to 12. By the time children reach their teens, they should be comfortable with using Debian without any special modifications. Debian Jr. provides a collection of packages for children and their guides. Beyond merely providing entertainment, the packages we have selected cover a broad range of areas, from those which help the child visualize what is inside their operating system (lavaps, xcruise) to music, art, writing and programming (xmms, gimp, abiword and python) as well as some games and desktop toys. We hope that child and guides alike will have fun, learn together, and make creative use of this excellent free software. Ultimately, we owe the free software authors and maintainers the thanks for what they have given the world. Our work is to gather their work together into the Debian distribution, making it readily available to children and their guides. Once we select a package, we care for its quality, listening to the users, sending wishlists, bug reports, and fixes to Debian and upstream maintainers. It is this constant dialog between users and developers that ensures that the free software and our users continue to be our priorities, as we have promised in our Social Contract. ---- %< ---- %< ---- %< ---- %< ---- %< ---- %< ---- %< ---- %< Quickguide in junior-doc # Tasks The tasks provide in Debian Jr. can be found here: https://packages.debian.org/source/bullseye/debian-junior * Task: junior-art * Task: junior-education * Task: junior-games-adventure * Task: junior-games-arcade * Task: junior-games-card * Task: junior-games-gl * Task: junior-games-net * Task: junior-games-puzzle * Task: junior-games-sim * Task: junior-games-text * Task: junior-internet * Task: junior-math * Task: junior-programming * Task: junior-sound * Task: junior-system * Task: junior-toys * Task: junior-typing * Task: junior-video * Task: junior-writing Be honest, I'm sure if this definition of those tasks fits the goal. I would like to think and discuss the definition of tasks. What will be the use cases of Debian Jr.? * Which task will you install or do not install? * What about defining tasks based on the age? * What about safe use of internet and privacy on internet based applications? * What should be the applications which will be used as default by an Debian installer? I'm still looking for the definition of the DoudouLinux tasks: https://blends.debian.org/junior/tasks/ I was not able to finde those. # Homepage The website https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-jr/ is referenced on some documents. I think it would be nice to get this website back. I think the definition of the project goal written in the quickquide would be a nice text to be on this website. -- Stefan
