[OpenDisc | http://theopendisc.com/] is a collection of high quality OpenSource software for the MicrosoftWindows platform, aimed at users exclusively using said OperatingSystem. The two goals of the disc are to provide [Free] alternatives to otherwise costly equivalents, and to educate people about the [Linux] operating system. The disc will be updated periodically as new versions of software are continually released. Users are encouraged to volunteer in a number of ways, such as suggesting new software to add to future versions, or translating the text into different languages. |

The project was born from another well known OpenSource collection project, [TheOpenCD], which OpenDisc project lead Chris Gray managed for 18 months prior to starting the OpenDisc project. During his tenure, he identified numerous problems within [TheOpenCD] but was unable to solve the majority of them. Rather than continue on despite their considerable hindrance, he decided to start afresh without the overhead that slowed [TheOpenCD] development down. For more information, see his blog entry, [Mutiny aboard the good ship TheOpenCD | http://ccg.id.au/blog/?p=88]. |
