Semi-automated creation of Lubuntu remix ISO with resources needed to complete the Django Girls tutorial

djangogirls-(l)ubuntu-remix

Semi-automated creation of Lubuntu remix ISO with all resources needed to complete the Django Girls tutorial.

Warning: This is not a user-friendly tool. Use at your own risk. You can break your OS if you are not careful.

Goal

A LiveUSB which you can use as a way to deal with failing internet connection and stubborn computers during Django Girls workshops. This remix could also be an introduction to GNU/Linux OS for workshop participants.

What does make-dg-remix.sh do?

We start from official Lubuntu ISO, install packages, add some resources and generate a new ISO file to be booted from an USB stick or run on a virtual machine.

New contents on the ISO

• python3-pip, virtualenv, git and dependencies
• vim, emacs
• Atom, Gedit
• Google Chrome

/usr/share/djangogirls:

• Django Girls tutorial and translations in PDFs
• Bootstrap, Lobster font
• wheelhouse (Django 1.8 and 1.9, ipython, ipdb wheels)

Usage:

I tested this only on a Linux host. Carefully execute contents of the make-dg-remix.sh script by copy-pasting commands to your terminal :]

You need sudo rights on your system, as you'll be making a chroot environment.

TODO

• whoa...
• a pretty wallpaper
• add more flavour to the distro - make a splash, change live session username and hostname (this requires modifying initrd) etc
• consider adding persistent storage
• either remove installation option or work on it
• this a work in progress and I don't know where this project should be going: issues and PRs are very welcome :)
