GCompris Celebrates 20 Years
gcompris.netThe first maintainer of GCompris was my boss at some point. I've met few people as competent as he was, and none that were as competent and as kind. Working under him was a joy.
Hi Loup, glad to hear from you in so laudatory term. By the way, could you please post this message on my LinkedIn ;)
I don't (or no longer) have a Linkedin account. :-( But I'll remember if I ever subscribe, promise.
Seriously though, you're a role model to me.
Aaaa, HN at work again. Wholesome.
For the non-French speaking audience, the name GCompris reads out “j’ai compris” which means “I understood”. Nice pun!
My 2 year old daughter plays this regularly. She's gotten much better at touching fish on the screen, and is just starting to explore the app a ton beyond that one game.
Thank you! This app is a positive addition to the world.
Just a few weeks ago I found a guide to computer education for children at https://github.com/xsuchy/programovani_pro_deti (sorry, Czech only) which mentioned GCompris. So I tried it and my children love it! Thanks for a great no-nonsense no-ads educational tool!
GCompris is a high quality educational software suite, including a large number of activities for children aged 2 to 10.
Had not heard of this before & will definitely be checking it out.
FYI from the site, as I'd no idea
"GCompris is a high quality educational software suite, including a large number of activities for children aged 2 to 10"
Congrats to the GCompris team! Huge milestone, and looking forward to more amazing things coming ahead ;)
