+ <P>In January,
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/New_IRC_channel_for_LEGO_designers_using_Debian.html">I
+announced a</a> new <a href="irc://irc.debian.org/%23debian-lego">IRC
+channel #debian-lego</a>, for those of us in the Debian and Linux
+community interested in LEGO, the marvellous construction system from
+Denmark. We also created
+<a href="http://wiki.debian.org/LegoDesigners">a wiki page</a> to have
+a place to take notes and write down our plans and hopes. And several
+people showed up to help. I was very happy to see the effect of my
+call. Since the small start, we have a debtags tag
+<a href="http://debtags.debian.net/search/bytag?wl=hardware::hobby:lego">hardware::hobby:lego</a>
+tag for LEGO related packages, and now count 10 packages related to
+LEGO and Mindstorms:</p>
+
+<p><table>
+<tr><td><a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/brickos">brickos</a></td><td>alternative OS for LEGO Mindstorms RCX. Supports development in C/C++</td></tr>
+<tr><td><a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/leocad">leocad</a></td><td>virtual brick CAD software</td></tr>
+<tr><td><a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/libnxt">libnxt</a></td><td>utility library for talking to the LEGO Mindstorms NX</td></tr>
+<tr><td><a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/lnpd">lnpd</a></td><td>daemon for LNP communication with BrickOS</td></tr>
+<tr><td><a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/nbc">nbc</a></td><td>compiler for LEGO Mindstorms NXT bricks</td></tr>
+<tr><td><a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/nqc">nqc</a></td><td>Not Quite C compiler for LEGO Mindstorms RCX</td></tr>
+<tr><td><a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/python-nxt">python-nxt</a></td><td>python driver/interface/wrapper for the Lego Mindstorms NXT robot</td></tr>
+<tr><td><a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/python-nxt-filer">python-nxt-filer</a></td><td>simple GUI to manage files on a LEGO Mindstorms NXT</td></tr>
+<tr><td><a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/scratch">scratch</a></td><td>easy to use programming environment for ages 8 and up</td></tr>
+<tr><td><a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/t2n">t2n</a></td><td>simple command-line tool for Lego NXT</td></tr>
+</table></p>

+<p>Some of these are available in Wheezy, and all but one are
+currently available in Jessie/testing. leocad is so far only
+available in experimental.</p>

+<p>If you care about LEGO in Debian, please join us on IRC and help
+adding the rest of the great free software tools available on Linux
+for LEGO designers.</p>
