[kde-edu]: KDE & Science: News from Chemnitz

[RalfGesellensetter]

Dear list,

having returned from the Chemnitz Linux Days (CLT2007), I like to share 
things that came to my knowledge during dozens of interesting talks:

If you read German you can also have a look at 
http://wiki.skolelinux.de/Chemnitz2007/Ergebnisse - otherwise just 
follw the links on that page ;)

Odile from OFSET.org (France) directed me to some inexpensive hardware 
that can be used to connect measurement devices to your PC, driven 
entirely by free and open software. This could be interesting for 
projects like Kalzium or Step<core>:

USBDUX http://www.linux-usb-daq.co.uk/ is delivered with 100% free and 
open software drivers.

From India (and cheaper as kit) comes the Phoenix adapter that is also 
supported by a special live CD for science with >40 top level 
applications:

@Carsten: Do you remember the devices at our school? Maybe this is going 
to be a free alternative.

Ralf
