OpenDVD v1.1 is a hit!
OpenDVD is a small project of OpenAcademy, containing Free/Libre and Open Source software for educational purposes.
Until today we received request from 150 schools, 3 universities in Slovakia and something unexpected 10 schools and 2 universities from Czech Republic. Right now we are slowly closing the availability of the OpenDVD for version 1.1 and we will be creating version 1.2 by the end of 2007. We are also thinkin about puting a new localization of the FLOSS applications and that will be Czech, since we are getting a lot of interest for this project in Czech Republic. We look forward to finding a new partners in this project from Czech Republic.
Let me know!
