Introducing TTCS OSSWIN 2.0 - a collection of Free and Open Source Software for Windows available for download with an all new web user interface and video clips of various programs

by Dev Anand Teelucksingh

Hello All, The Trinidad and Tobago Computer Society is pleased to announce the release of the TTCS OSSWIN v2.00, a collection of the latest version of Free and Open Source Software for Microsoft Windows 10/8/7. You can use your web browser to read detailed information about each program in this compilation : what the program does, view a screenshot or video of the program, and to find links to the program’s website and to download/install the program from the TTCS OSSWIN collection. The web-based interface allows you to quickly browse the variety of software organised into the following categories: Desktop Applications Educational Games Graphics Internet Server Sound and Video Utilities The web-based interface was redesigned to take advantage of modern web standards (HTML5, CSS3) and should be usable on Windows 10 touchscreen tablets. Also, the web UI attempts to autodetect whether your machine is running a 32 bit version of Windows or a 64 bit version of Windows to offer the appropriate installer so you can install programs as quickly as possible and browse the programs in the various software categories quickly. In addition, several programs have screencasts with sound to give the user a better idea of the program capabilities. Visit the TTCS OSSWIN page at http://www.ttcs.tt/osswin for more details and to download the collection as an ISO file for extracting to your harddrive or USB storage device and/or burning on to a DVD. Regards, Dev Anand Teelucksingh

Introducing TTCS OSSWIN online – a online resource of Free and Open Source Software (#FOSS) for Windows

by Dev Anand Teelucksingh

The Trinidad and Tobago Computer Society is pleased to announce TTCS OSSWIN online at http://ttcsosswin.ttcs.tt/ , an online resource of Free and Open Source Software for Microsoft Windows 10/8/7. The web-based interface allows you to quickly browse the variety of software organised into the following categories: Desktop Applications, Educational, Games, Graphics, Internet, Server, Sound and Video, Utilities Each program has information about on what the program does, a screenshot or a video showing the program in action, and to find a link to the program’s website to download and install the program. In essence it is the same web interface from the TTCS OSSWIN project (which makes the collection of Free and Open Source Software for Windows as a 4GB download, along with a web based interface) – the key difference being that no installers are shown, just the link to the program’s website. The web-based interface for TTCS OSSWIN online was redesigned to take advantage of modern web standards (HTML5, CSS3) and should be usable on Windows 10 touchscreen tablets and on mobile / tablet devices (such as iPhone/iPad and Android devices). So you should be able to browse the TTCS OSSWIN online to learn about FOSS for Windows on any device. Browse TTCS OSSWIN online at http://ttcsosswin.ttcs.tt/ Dev Anand
