OpenDisc is a collection of high quality open source software for the Microsoft Windows platform, aimed at users exclusively using said operating system.

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, and users are encouraged to volunteer in a number of ways, including suggesting new software to add to future versions to translating the text into different languages.

The project was born from another well known open source disc, called TheOpenCD, which OpenDisc project lead Chris Gray managed. For more information, see 'Mutiny aboard the good ship TheOpenCD'.

OpenEducationDisc launched!

OpenEducationDisc is an official branch of OpenDisc.
"The OpenEducationDisc is a modification of the OpenDisc format by Teachers and Computer Specialists with a passion for education. The purpose of it is to provide students with the software that they need to complete school work at home. Most students don’t have jobs and it is unfair to ask for them or a parent/guardian to buy expensive software to get the best out of their education. Hence everything is free and we encourage you to make copies of this CD and lend it to you friends.

The project was started in 2007 by Mr. Kemp, a Computing Teacher in London, UK. It is now thriving in schools across the globe and was the 2006/2007 winner of the Teach First School Projects Competition."
