Foundations, Agencies, FOSS communities and individuals were working on Software Libre (Free Software) Application Catalog to make it available. CIDETYS published this catalog in Spanish. It's available to download. http://www.cidetys.org.pa/es/component/content/article/93-lanzamiento-de-catalogo-de-software-educativo-libre It's is work in progress so we expect to add more applications soon. This catalog received contributions from openSUSE, Fedora, Debian, KDE, GNOME, etc... The idea behind is showing Free Open Sources Software available for Windows or Linux and how it can help making a stronger educative foundation.
