has anyone got an idea what has happened to the opendisc project

The latest cd is clearly out of date 10.12, and there is no indication
as to when a new cd is out.

perhaps someone has heard of something or perhaps its moved,   It's
rather irritating it would be useful to be able to give people an up to
date cd of open source software, as this cd is a good introduction and
perhaps stepping stone to Ubuntu,

From what I understand the project is pretty much one guy doing all the work, or it was a couple of years ago.

It actually does take a lot of effort to keep the CD up todate including making sure the screen shots are still valid and that applications work etc.

I know when I was working on the custom one it was a load of work updating the applications and creating pages and screenshots for additional applications.

If you look at The Open Disc web site it does have a list of the applications and links to their web sites if you want anything more up to date.
