OpenDisc is a downloadable ISO containing installers for major open source applications for Windows users.

Spun off from TheOpenCD project (which is no longer under active development), OpenDisc contains applications including: Filezilla, OpenOffice.org, Blender, ClamWin, Pidgin, WinSCP, Firefox, Tux Paint, Dia, GnuCash, Sumatra PDF, VLC, TrueCrypt and many more.

The project describes itself:

“OpenDisc is a collection of high quality open source software for the Microsoft Windows platform… The two goals of the disc are to provide free alternatives to otherwise costly equivalents, and to educate people about the Linux operating system. The disc will be updated periodically as new versions of software are continually released, and users are encouraged to volunteer in a number of ways, including suggesting new software to add to future versions to translating the text into different languages.”
