Feature changed by: melchiaros melchiaros (melchiaros) Feature #313039, revision 4 Title: openSUSE Kids Edition/Mode openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Antwan Ibraheem (antwankakki) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: OpenSUSE kids edition is an idea of creating a distribution or mode for kids. This should include (but not limit to):- *Wallpapers, Icons, themes... that would appeal to kids. *an internet or programs filter to block harmful things *games, programs related to education and fun (programs like tuxpaint, google chrome, and many games). Use Case: a parent who cares about what his kids see in the virtual world. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: this would appeal to parents because they would probably want a safe and fun environment for their kids to play with and learn from at the same time. it will create an openSUSE army for the future :). Discussion: #1: melchiaros melchiaros (melchiaros) (2011-12-11 13:40:18) With http://susestudio.com/search?q=kids you can find some prepared appliances that already focus on such task. To set up a spin(that is what you locking for) for special proposes is a thing of much work. There are some approaches like openSUSE Medical which suffer exactly on this. You can also look at: http://en.opensuse.org/Derivatives#Education I´ve not locked at, but may be it gives you a kind of what you want. + #2: melchiaros melchiaros (melchiaros) (2011-12-11 14:16:30) + One word more: I can understand that you want to have separate stuff + from the recognizing sphere of your child, but it will not work. Every + time you have something in the filter(you can use proxy if you want) + that should not be shown on the Operating system, there will be the + next big thing that comes out(e.g hitting videos, rotten neighbor, I´ve + also seen some mobbing sides that focus on teens-> forgotten name; etc, + etc, and so on) and you child will get in contact with. This causes a + hugh amount of maintenance for the filter. This to manage with a + openSource community is a problem, because each maintainer will + recognize some different things in the category of absolutely not + showing to childs and other will not. Also some parents see social + networks at whole as send from evil, or books or films, or .. ). All + that beside what the most would see as problematic to a child of a + special age. You will get interesting and never ending discussions. I + don´t thing that you can harmonize such blocking interest. That´s all + not on the idea of free(and yes, with this also the bad things come + with), but if you really want to have it: + http://dansguardian.org/?page=news + (http://dansguardian.org/?page=news) and for blacklisting with this + program: http://urlblacklist.com/?sec=download + Look at the blacklist and you will see that you can agree to points and + ask yourself by other if they must be on the list. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313039
