When I woke up this morning, I was very happy to see that the +release announcement +for Debian Wheezy was waiting in my mail box. This is a great +Debian release, and I expect to move my machines at home over to it fairly +soon.
+ +The new debian release contain heaps of new stuff, and one program +in particular make me very happy to see included. The +Scratch program, made famous by +the Teach kid code movement, is +included for the first time. Alongside similar programs like +kturtle and +turtleart, +it allow for visual programming where syntax errors can not happen, +and a friendly programming environment for learning to control the +computer. Scratch will also be included in the next release of Debian +Edu. + +
And now that Wheezy is wrapped up, we can wrap up the next Debian +Edu/Skolelinux release too. The +first +alpha release went out last week, and the next should soon +follow.
