[The Kiaora CD|http://kiaoracd.org.nz/] is [BruceKingsbury]'s own CD of Free Software for Windows, similar to [TheOpenCD] or [GnuWinII], since neither of these two CD's contained exactly the software I usually want to install. Version 0.0.0 was a mess, version 0.0.1 was marginally better, 0.0.3 was almost OK. Version 0.0.5 included Vidomi which is not completely free..! ([GnuWinII] appear to have made the same mistake.) [Kiaora 007|http://kiaoracd.org.nz/] was released on Oct 31. I was hanging out for [OOo2|http://openoffice.org] I did have a mailing list but after 6 months nobody had signed up. TODO; ** The CD is _still_ web-page based, but then so are most cover CD's so I've decided this is not such a bad thing. I really do want a proper CD browser eventually. ** Finally figured out how to repackage OOo so that it installs itself using a 7zip SFX archive, but as of OOo2 this hack is no longer necessary. ** BrianKemp has repackaged [TuxRacer|http://tuxracer.sourceforge.net/] and [Really Slick Screensavers|http://www.reallyslick.com/] for me using the [Spoon Installer|http://sourceforge.net/projects/spoon-installer/] ** I would really like to do a kiwi version of the TuxPaint stamps but it's a lot of work. Perhaps someone else at WLUG could look into this. We must keep ahead of [The Australians|http://sourceforge.net/projects/tuxpaint-au/]. One of the things that most put me off was an IntellectualProperty issue.. I'm not sure that I'm allowed to take a photo of Buzzy Bee and release it under a CreativeCommons Licence, since the Buzzy Bee likeness is a trademark. I should have bought this up at the IP meeting :(
