If you would like to contribute to this please email the gramps-developers mailing list. * http://sourceforge.net/projects/gramps-cd/ - Sources for Live CD* [http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/uck Ubuntu Customization Kit] is a tool that helps you customizing official Ubuntu Live CDs. You can add any package to the live system like, for example, language packs, applications, etc. === Ways to go ? === * A genealogy tablet ?** I wouldn't dream of doing genealogy research without a real keyboard and a big monitor. ** A tablet may be useful for presentations (showing off). Figuring out how to install gramps (a subset) on an iPad or a Honeycomb tablet (Jython?) might be a better use of time than spinning a custom system.** OTOH, making a nice UI for a tablet would be an interesting project. (I can just see a bunch of people I know futzing with Gramps during sacrament meeting. <g>) There is a [http://wiki.openembedded.org/index.php/Required_software#OpenEmbedded.27s_Software_Requirements script] for [http://wiki.openembedded.org/index.php/Main_Page OpenEmbedded] support or [http://www.cdfhsbuildroot.org/ buildroot], [http://ymorin.is-a-geek.auorg/zenshopprojects/crosstool crosstool-NG], [http://www.pengutronix.de/software/ptxdist/index_en.html PTXdist], ...* Our [[GEPS_013: Gramps Webapp|Web Application]] as a local application.* Provide more [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open_source_software FLOSS] software: [http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?main_pagetitle=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=16 AustraliaOther_genealogy_software programs] and the , [http://fstorewww.roitmangramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_idtitle=5 USAOther_genealogy_tools tools]. * Current and previous versions Consider Lubuntu or Xbuntu as a base instead of the CD are also stored on full (fat!) Ubuntu.* The people I would share this with would want it to include PAF (works with wine) and Family Search Indexing (I still have to try this.) == Translations == If after installation, your desktop is not fully translated to your selected locale:# have a look at Menu -> System -> Administration -> Languages support [http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/precise/language-selector]# or manually [http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/precise/all/translations/ download packages with your language code]. Then under a console: $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb === LibreOffice === *[http://www.gramps-projectlibreoffice.org/cdrom Gramps websitedownload/ LibreOffice]
