[Ubuntu-be] ubuntu courses

Tips: 

Ubuntu manual: daar gebruiken ze een tool: quickshot om screenshots te automatiseren. Je kan het natuurlijk ook scripten met imagemagick of als je het 'grafisch' wil: xdotool. Er bestaat ook een java-toepassing om dit soort zaken te doen: sikuli. Je kan met sikuli ook gaan scripten en dus de ganse boel automatiseren. 
Bij alle voorstellen: omdat de ontwikkeling van unity nog niet ten einde is zal het in de toekomst waarschijnlijk weer gedeeltelijk manueel moeten gebeuren als je de cursus wenst up te daten. Daar kun je volgens mij niet onderuit. 

LaTeX gebruiken om die manual te schrijven. Zo is de import van afbeeldingen veel gemakkelijker. (denk dat ubuntu-manual ook in LaTeX is opgemaakt).

The course is made by OpenSchool, a project of the Antwerp Municipality for adult education. It's really low threshold, for people with little or no education. They want to bring the computer to any household. 
So it's really basic stuff, from switching on to switching off, with lots of screenshots and step-by-step instructions. 


problem is, it's only on Windows. And that for an organisation that calls itself OpenSchool. 
Oh the humanity! 


I'd love to make an ubuntu version of it. 
Thing is though, Ubuntu has changed its look a couple of times in the past two years. 
So I'm holding off at least until 12.04 before making any screenshots. 
Does anyone have an idea of Canonical's intentions with their look for 12.04? I mean, I wouldn't want to spend dozens of manhours to compile all the necessary screenshots, only to find out that Canonical will come with a new look again the year after. 


Any ideas are welcome. You can write me in person, or, if you want to discuss this over the phone, ping me and I'll give you my phone number. 


Have a look at the zip file wouter shared. It's a hefty 170MB because of all the graphics, but I think it's a very useful document for the beginning user. 


Once compiled, we could use it for normal schools too. 


One of the main reasons why schools don't use anything but Microsoft, is because there aren't any good books available in the local languages. 
If we can compile a work like this, it might make Ubuntu much more attractive for the schools. 


Cheers, 
Jan.

hey guys, 


Janb found some courses about basic computing (that are used for adult education?) from a local educational center. They're made for windows, but it would be great to have them for ubuntu. 
Maybe jan can give some more info? 


anyhow, I've uploaded the courses to my webhost (since Drupal wouldn't allow me to upload the .zip file..):
