für die die wissen wollen was mit den Afrika-Projekten weitergeht: Die RULE website ist auch sehr interessant Franz ----- Original Message ----- Freitag, 23. Juli 2004 09:27:44 Uhr Message From: "Ingo Lantschner" <ingo.lists vum.at> Subject: Liboke ya Congo presented at Fikin in Kinshasa To: Franz Nahrada These days Bino na Biso (BnB) presents the RULE-based "Liboke ya Congo" (LyC) on Fikin, the most important trade show in Kinshasa/DRC. "Liboke ya Congo" translates to something like "Box of Congo". This system is a Red Hat 9 based operating system, installed using "Slinky" from The RULE-Project, and therefore running on even outdated PCs with todays speed and the most up to date applications like Abiword 2, OpenOffice 1.1, the latest Acrobat Reader or Webbrowsers like Opera 7.5 and Firefox. "Liboke ya Congo" includes a set of Lingala-localized applications. Most of the work of translation and research has been done by BnB-staff in Kinshasa. The "Liboke ya Congo" will help to bring IT-knowledge and better means of communication to many people in DRC and its neighbour-countries. Also it can be seen as an important step in building up a self-sustainable, localized IT-culture.
