<CanoeBerry> centre where after reading,children can engage in some
<CanoeBerry> recreational and
<CanoeBerry> educational entertainment.
<CanoeBerry> - introduction of OLPC/Sugar community in one community in the country.
<CanoeBerry> I think this project needs more prep, comments from others?
<KGMac> agreed
<CanoeBerry> Their blog http://www.kyowgp.blogspot.com is lacking so far.

<CanoeBerry> [SPECIFIC SITE NEEDS TO BE POSTED OFF
<CanoeBerry> http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects ]
<CanoeBerry> Requests 9 XOs over 2-3 months
<CanoeBerry> Project Objectives:
<CanoeBerry> 1. To equip teachers and pupils with basic computer skills using the XO
<CanoeBerry> laptop.
<CanoeBerry> 2. To improve understanding and performance of science
<CanoeBerry> subjectsincluding
<CanoeBerry> maths using the xo activities
<CanoeBerry> 3. Actively engaging children in their learning process.
<CanoeBerry> 4. Increase school attendance rate in rural schools and ctively
<CanoeBerry> engaging
<CanoeBerry> children in their learning process.
<CanoeBerry> 5. Increasing HIV/AIDS awareness and thus helping leaners live a HIV
<CanoeBerry> free life.
<CanoeBerry> Sounds great, but a blog of their past work needs to be more prominently out there.
<CanoeBerry> Proposals for 10 XOs really do need a blog showing their track record.
<CanoeBerry> Even if an early blog still in formation, or other public/community publishing of their contributions..
<CanoeBerry> Thoughts?
<CanoeBerry> Votes?
<ndoiron> are they specific about how they will teach about HIV/AIDS using the XOs?
<bernie> yeah it's nto clear if they're planning to create software, content or just use the laptop to surf the web
<CanoeBerry> Exactly: these guys had a blog in the past but I can't find it, nor did they include it in the proposal as required.
<ndoiron> they talk a lot more about the math(s) side
<CanoeBerry> I vote to put this one on hold til the story is more complete.
<CanoeBerry> Others please vote your conscience.
<CanoeBerry> Anyone care to help nudge this project along?
<ndoiron> on hold, recommend they expand health goals or shift focus to math and computer skills
<KGMac> any opp for partial shipment?
<CanoeBerry> Mentors most welcome!
<CanoeBerry> KGMac: partial shipments are possible, but expensive to Africa.
<CanoeBerry> Much better to get to get the full story straight.
<KGMac> true, very true
<CanoeBerry> Customs fees are not worth it if it's a half-hearted proposal.
<CanoeBerry> OLPC pay larges sums for customs fees and logistics here.

<cgueret> hi!
<CanoeBerry> bernie: are you getting DNS issues w/ wiki.laptop.org in general?
<CanoeBerry> cgueret: bonjour!
<cgueret> sorry, I'm a bit late for the meeting
<cgueret> was busy cooking :P
<CanoeBerry> No Prob.
<KGMac> loks very well thoguth out
<bernie> the internet is selectively bad for me today. the rest of the olpc wiki works fine.. bah
<CanoeBerry> Let's support this where we can -- 2 great teacher-trainer in Jamaica building out Sugar pedagoy / curricula.
<CanoeBerry> This group has bought 100+ XO-1.5 for delivery later this fall, but they need to get up to speed.
<CanoeBerry> 10 XO-1s would help I think.
<CanoeBerry> Too bad the group coordinator (Sameer Verma) is not here.. someone call him?
<CanoeBerry> Thoughts?
<CanoeBerry> Sameer may join live in 1 min..
<CanoeBerry> Plz prepare hard questions for him!
<cgueret> discussing a project about XOs for jamaica ? (trying to catch up with the meeting...)
<CanoeBerry> Yes!
<cgueret> cool :)
<KGMac> Contribute to the bank of Sugar lesson plans and videos in

<docverma> hello!
<docverma> sorry, was in the middle of a xodock experiment
<cgueret> hi1
<docverma> http://xodock.com
<CanoeBerry> Please defend the need for 10 XO-1s in Jamaica to prep for the 115 XO-1.5 arriving Nov/Dec
<docverma> Well, the request is for Moneague Teacher Training college
<CanoeBerry> Sorry OLPC appears to be out of XO-1.5s for the Contributors Program just this month.
<docverma> Their role in our Jamaica deployments is to create lesson plans
<CanoeBerry> Temporary inventory problem..
<CanoeBerry> Why are 10 units needed?
<docverma> They usually create lesson plans using "other software" that the teachers don't get
<docverma> so something Sugar based is good
<docverma> The college has 600+ teachers
<CanoeBerry> Will Grade 3/Grade 4 kids be involved this fall, prep'ing for the full shipment end of year?
<docverma> these teachers teach all over the country
<CanoeBerry> docverma: KGMac in Canada likes your work!
<docverma> The lesson plans will end up in a repository hosted by Univ. of the West Indies under a CC license
<CanoeBerry> English??
<docverma> Yes, English
<CanoeBerry> Objections / votes of support from the Jury?
<CanoeBerry> Please all vote.
<KGMac> support
<docverma> The current target is upper kindergarten and grade 3+4
<docverma> the XOs will be in a library

<CanoeBerry> This seems familiar..
<CanoeBerry> Others have attempted Puppy Linus on XO, in Colombia perhaps? Somewhere else?
* smellvin Quit (Client Quit)
<CanoeBerry> Our current/temporary shortage of XO-1.5s makes it hard to support this on in full?
<CanoeBerry> Votes please, regardless!
<KGMac> the blog suggests that they want to install on 1.0's
<CanoeBerry> Great :)
<CanoeBerry> +1 with qualifications
<CanoeBerry> Objections? Critiques? Collaboration with this Australian guy?
<CanoeBerry> Need some votes one way or the other :) Or shall we move on?
<KGMac> however, upon digging further, they appear to have accomplished that and maybe want to port to 1.5
<KGMac> http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=60155
<cgueret> I think that would be a good idea
<cgueret> (if my opinion matters...)
<CanoeBerry> Shall we all support?
<jt4sugar> If he successfully ports would this make XO work better? Porting to other platforms seems to be plus

<CanoeBerry> "Preventing Malaria" - Mexico / Edinburg, Texas
<CanoeBerry> http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=67327
<CanoeBerry> [SPECIFIC SITE NEEDS TO BE POSTED OFF
<CanoeBerry> http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects ]
<CanoeBerry> Requests 3 XO-1s over 12 months
<CanoeBerry> Project Objectives:
<CanoeBerry> - Develop a memory game for 1 or 2 players with malaria-related topics,
<CanoeBerry> so 5-12-year-old kids can help to prevent this disease in their
<CanoeBerry> communities.
<CanoeBerry> The computer will show a list of images related to malaria, such as
<CanoeBerry> causes,
<CanoeBerry> transmission, symptoms, treatment, prevention and complications. Each
<CanoeBerry> image will appear from 4 to 10 seconds (depending on the chosen
<CanoeBerry> difficulty:
<CanoeBerry> difficult, normal and easy). The game will show something like this:
<CanoeBerry> - Habitat (4-10 seconds)...
<CanoeBerry> - Bamboo Pole (4-10 seconds)...
<CanoeBerry> - Rainwater (4-10 seconds) ...
<CanoeBerry> - (more words)
<sandrat> cool idea
<CanoeBerry> Then, the computer will ask the player to choose from a set of
<CanoeBerry> images and
<CanoeBerry> put them in the same order they appeared previously. In our example, the
<CanoeBerry> kid has to choose the Habitat picture first, then the Bamboo Pole
<CanoeBerry> picture,
<CanoeBerry> and so on.
<CanoeBerry> At the end, the computer will show the score (for example, “you
<CanoeBerry> memorized
<CanoeBerry> the order of 4/6 words) and a sentence related to the pictures. This
<CanoeBerry> sentence will say something like: "Cover bamboo pole holders after use.
<CanoeBerry> Rainwater can potentially accumulate in these bamboo pole holders if
<CanoeBerry> they
<CanoeBerry> are uncovered and create a habitat..." Then, the player can choose
<CanoeBerry> to play
<CanoeBerry> again or to exit the game.
<CanoeBerry> [sorry the proposal's so long, a bit more coming!]
<CanoeBerry> When 2 kids are playing, player 1 will play first and the score will be
<CanoeBerry> shown, then player 2 will play and his score will be shown. At the
<CanoeBerry> end, the
<CanoeBerry> computer will congratulate the winner.
<CanoeBerry> - Learn more about Python, PyGTK, Glade and other related
<CanoeBerry> technologies in
<CanoeBerry> order to build this and other international projects for XO in the
<CanoeBerry> future.
<CanoeBerry> - Publish a paper in a recognized software engineering conference with
<CanoeBerry> the results of applying Scrum (an iterative, incremental framework for
<CanoeBerry> project management and agile software development) on an
<CanoeBerry> international free software project. These paper will encourage more
<CanoeBerry> engineers to work on OLPC projects.
<CanoeBerry> - Use the memorization game to internalize malaria-related concepts.
<CanoeBerry> - Create an OLPC research group at the School of Engineering and
<CanoeBerry> Technology in Montemorelos University, Mexico (www.um.edu.mx).
<sandrat> well thought out so far
<cjb> 'lo all
<CanoeBerry> Looks good, but can they pull it off?
<cjb> this is a Sugar activity, and doesn't need XOs.
<sandrat> yowee a lot
<cjb> SoaS on a livecd will be fine
<sandrat> what is request?
<sandrat> ok 3 xos
<KGMac> 3 for 12 months
<KGMac> oops you beat me'
<CanoeBerry> I support our standard "starter kit" of 2 old XO-1s if that genuinely accelerates this project.
<CanoeBerry> We should ask 'em..
<sandrat> they should have some XOs so that they can test features soas doesn't support
<cjb> sandrat: hm, like what?
<CanoeBerry> If they already are familiar with XOs however, shipment may not be nec.
<sandrat> screen sharing ...
<cjb> sandrat: I don't understand; what does screen sharing have to do with the proposed activity?
<sandrat> suggestion for starter kit sounds good. They have a big team, but don't know how many people will actually be doing development
<cjb> also, I don't think the XOs have any more support for screen sharing than SoaS does
<CanoeBerry> sandrat: will you mentor?
<sandrat> ok
<CanoeBerry> This groups needs that first and foremost.
<sandrat> OK..I have the ticket open and can put myself in
<CanoeBerry> Thanks. Plz work with them and advise their most critical needs. Two old XO-1s is not a problem for anybody worldwide doing genuine work.

<CanoeBerry> [SPECIFIC SITE NEEDS TO BE POSTED OFF
<CanoeBerry> http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects ]
<CanoeBerry> Requests 5 XOs over 12 months
<CanoeBerry> Project Objectives:
<CanoeBerry> Semantic technologies are becoming more and more used to
<CanoeBerry> improve the efficiency of information sharing on Internet.
<CanoeBerry> The goal of this project is to investigate the application of
<CanoeBerry> the same technologies on a mesh network, without access to Web
<CanoeBerry> services such as DNS.
<CanoeBerry> With the ability to exchange structured and unambiguous
<CanoeBerry> information, we expect to improve communication in the context of
<CanoeBerry> medical, culturage heritage or marketing applications.
<CanoeBerry> Although not having expertise related to the typical usage
<CanoeBerry> context of the XOs, the KRR group already has some expertise in using
<CanoeBerry> semantic technologies for improving access to
<CanoeBerry> culturage heritage and modeling medical processes.
<CanoeBerry> cgueret: care to introduce your work please?
<CanoeBerry> We'd really appreciate that!
<bernie> I'm also curious
<sandrat> this project sounds really good, esp if it will improve mesh network efficiency
<sandrat> question; would features be available to other activities other than listed groups?
<CanoeBerry> Just left voicemail with the applicant in the Europe (Netherlands?)
<CanoeBerry> cgueret: that means you ^^^
* cgueret has left #olpc-meeting
<CanoeBerry> cgueret: just left voicemail for you!
<CanoeBerry> cgueret: please introduce your work now for the group!
<sandrat> interested in application use of the semantic stack
* Aqua-Orange-04 has joined #olpc-meeting

<Aqua-Orange-04> i'm cgueret
<KGMac> hup oranje
<sandrat> hujambo
<Aqua-Orange-04> sorry, my irc client crashed
<Aqua-Orange-04> so I quickly connected back through the appli on the forum
<Aqua-Orange-04> and did not took the time to change the name :)
<CanoeBerry> cgueret: can you introduce yr work quickly?
<Aqua-Orange-04> yep
<CanoeBerry> Go for it now, thx!
<CanoeBerry> bernie: please interrogate, with the question you had above..
<Aqua-Orange-04> so, I'm doing research on semantic web technologies. That's a set of standard and practices for doing knowledge
representation
<Aqua-Orange-04> sorry but actually I have to leave you now :(
<CanoeBerry> Great, why do you need 5 XOs?
<Aqua-Orange-04> time to feed the family
<Aqua-Orange-04> may I come back in 1/2h ?
<CanoeBerry> cgueret: we may be gone in 20min, but you can try
<Aqua-Orange-04> canoe:'m interested in the context of meshed networks
<CanoeBerry> cgueret: you need to defence your need for 5 XO-1s and how this will work.
<Aqua-Orange-04> so far nobody applied sw stuff outisde of the web
<CanoeBerry> If not now, then later.
<Aqua-Orange-04> ok, maybe later then
<Aqua-Orange-04> sorry :-/
<Aqua-Orange-04> sorry : - /
* GrannieB has joined #olpc-meeting
<CanoeBerry> We can send you 2 XO-1s as our standard "starter kits" for legit volunteers perhaps, in any case talk later!
<CanoeBerry> GrannieB: back from the jungle!
<CanoeBerry> Let's move onto Project #7 now..
<sandrat> +1 agree
<CanoeBerry> Project #6 looks good but needs a proper defence of its approach.
<Aqua-Orange-04> acvutally I can stay 5 more minutes
<CanoeBerry> Great, let's finish now!
<KGMac> 3 makes a nicer start mesh though.,
<Aqua-Orange-04> so, the 5 XOs where to test a semantic web stack in the context of a meshed network
<CanoeBerry> bernie: please ask your questions now, or forever hold yr peace..
<Aqua-Orange-04> in fact, I could start with one to implement a stack in the first place
<Aqua-Orange-04> for that I need an XO to have the actual processing constraints
<CanoeBerry> Aqua-Orange-04: have you ever played with an XO-1 or XO-1.5?
* cjb has left #olpc-meeting ("ERC Version 5.3 (IRC client for Emacs)")
<Aqua-Orange-04> nope
<CanoeBerry> Too bad, ok.
<sandrat> so explain how the stack works, it takes what and provides what?
<CanoeBerry> We should start you off with 2 XO-1s if the group approves of your approach.
<CanoeBerry> Votes?
<Aqua-Orange-04> so, a stack is basically a "triple store" and an api
<KGMac> sorry to interject, mesh is way more intuitive on the 1.0, we have 8 yr olds in Kenya meshing like crazy
<CanoeBerry> WARNING: Applicant must leave in 2 min!
<Aqua-Orange-04> the triple store provides a way to store triples, atomic pieces of information
<sandrat> +1 for starter kit
<Aqua-Orange-04> the api is just an api to put stuff into it
<CanoeBerry> Can we all here agree to ship 2 or 3 XO-1s with certain milestones as to how the applicant/group will blog their results?
<Aqua-Orange-04> such a stack would act as a uniform and highly flexible data store to store anything
<KGMac> +1
<sandrat> ok
<jt4sugar> +1
<Aqua-Orange-04> ok for me too :)
<CanoeBerry> cgueret: are you subscribed to devel@laptop.org or similar OLPC / hardware mailing lists?
<CanoeBerry> +1

<CanoeBerry> Calling once..
<CanoeBerry> Calling twice..
<sandrat> +1
<CanoeBerry> Calling thrice..
<bernie> CanoeBerry: oops, I was distracted... too bad.
<CanoeBerry> bernie: ask now!
<bernie> Aqua-Orange-04: can you point me at the semantic web stack you're testing?
<Aqua-Orange-04> there is not a single stack I can point you at :/
<Aqua-Orange-04> "4store" is an example of triple store
<Aqua-Orange-04> I would start by trying to install that one on an XO
<bernie> Aqua-Orange-04: there are a few? how are these implemented? client-side, server-side?
<Aqua-Orange-04> there are data server, using the "SPARQL" protocol over http to serve data
<Aqua-Orange-04> popular triple stores are 4store, virtuoso and owlim
<CanoeBerry> bernie gets the final vote!
<Aqua-Orange-04> the first two have a chance to run on the XO
<bernie> Aqua-Orange-04: what language are these written in?
<Aqua-Orange-04> c
<Aqua-Orange-04> apart from owlim which is in java
<CanoeBerry> bernie: shall we ship 2 or 3 old/refurb'd XO-1s?
<KGMac> there are 4store clients in java and python as well, not sure about the whold stack though
<bernie> CanoeBerry: dunno, I'm really not qualified to make a judgment on this
<Aqua-Orange-04> these clients are for getting the data from an other machine (in the classical sens of client).
<Aqua-Orange-04> to get an idea of the benefits on a machine you may check "nepomuk"
<Aqua-Orange-04> that's a project where they added a stack to KDE4
<bernie> Aqua-Orange-04: ah, finally something I heard of :-)
<Aqua-Orange-04> I think Sugar could benefit from having a similar semantic backend
<Aqua-Orange-04> bernie: : - )
<bernie> Aqua-Orange-04: yes, we've been thinking about it. but all those you named seem proprietary. except for nepomuk
<Aqua-Orange-04> and from a research point of view, I would be interested in studying how to make this run without access to Internet
<Aqua-Orange-04> nepomuk uses virtuoso
<Aqua-Orange-04> and 4store is free
<Aqua-Orange-04> the triple store is the key component to find
<Aqua-Orange-04> they are also many other solutions more lightweight
<Aqua-Orange-04> but 4store seems to be the best compromise size / features
<Aqua-Orange-04> that would be something to check anyway
<CanoeBerry> Poor family needs to eat! Me too ;)
<Aqua-Orange-04> they are quiet....
<CanoeBerry> Let's finalize now. All: do we go with 2 XO-1s or 3?
<Aqua-Orange-04> maybe I got myself some extra minutes
<Aqua-Orange-04> : - )
<Aqua-Orange-04> that would be fine for me
<sandrat> 3 is better for testing
<CanoeBerry> In any case, APPROVED for starter kit experimentation -- whether 2 or more older XO-1s, thanks alls!
<CanoeBerry> Details to be finalized by bernie/others pre-shipment.
<CanoeBerry> Done!
<Aqua-Orange-04> wow! thanks : - D
<CanoeBerry> Thanks & onto Project #8!
<CanoeBerry> Sorry I meant onto Project #7!!
<Aqua-Orange-04> I'll leave you now, bye!
...
<bernie> CanoeBerry: well, 2 does not make that freat of a mesh... let's do 3.
...

<dfarning> sure --
<CanoeBerry> These applicants have nerve! Asking for 100 free laptops, heh. But let's check it out regardless.
<CanoeBerry> Application needs work+mentoring, eh?
<CanoeBerry> What do others think?
<sandrat> think he needs to start small...understand usage and how kids interact with XO
<CanoeBerry> Blog is quite empty so far: http://zuvarabuda1.wordpress.com

<sandrat> I'll do a one pass mentor advice ..
* mavrothal has joined #olpc-meeting
<CanoeBerry> mavrothal: hi and i think your Australian friend's Puppy was approved above, but ask others for details..
<GrannieB> yes, start small! 10 0r MUCH less! see what they can do
<CanoeBerry> My vote is to place this ambitious project on hold, until it's more realistic.
<CanoeBerry> Perhaps our standard starter kit of 2 refurb'd XO-1s then, and we'll fly GrannieB over to Zimbabwe on the space shuttle to mento them :)
<GrannieB> let's refer them to funding ideas for a number this large
<CanoeBerry> Votes & constructive criticism please.
<CanoeBerry> Conclude please!

<CanoeBerry> [SPECIFIC SITE NEEDS TO BE POSTED OFF
<CanoeBerry> http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects ]
<CanoeBerry> Requests 15 XOs over 9/indefinite months
<CanoeBerry> Project Objectives:
<CanoeBerry> The primary objective of this proposal is to transform the Madison
<CanoeBerry> Elementary
<CanoeBerry> after school program, as well as support Rev Gadi's after school
<CanoeBerry> program, also
<CanoeBerry> housed at Madison Elementary. The Madison program typically enrolls
<CanoeBerry> 40-50
<CanoeBerry> students, many reluctant, many English Language Learners. The mere
<CanoeBerry> presence
<CanoeBerry> of 12 XOs will create interest among the students--the medium is the
<CanoeBerry> message--
<CanoeBerry> but we will also work with this unique population to try and develop
<CanoeBerry> English
<CanoeBerry> language learning e-books and activities unique to Sugar that will
<CanoeBerry> then be
<CanoeBerry> available and useful to XO deployments in Sudan, Rwanda, Congo, and
<CanoeBerry> other
<CanoeBerry> countries where the refugee students and families now living in Fargo
<CanoeBerry> originate from. We will work with Rev. Gadi's students to prepare the
<CanoeBerry> laptops for deployment in Sudan, loading them with projects developed in
<CanoeBerry> Fargo, loading them with books so that the dream of a library built
<CanoeBerry> by 15
<CanoeBerry> laptops becomes feasible.
<CanoeBerry> Sorry proposal's so long!
<CanoeBerry> [Last bit coming through now..]
<CanoeBerry> The secondary objective is to train a team from within this group to
<CanoeBerry> deliver
<CanoeBerry> these 15 laptops to the school in southern Sudan. Team members who
<CanoeBerry> do not go
<CanoeBerry> on this trip with Rev. Gadi may have a chance to go later as Kevin
<CanoeBerry> Brooks is
<CanoeBerry> President of a non-profit called "African Soul, American Heart" and
<CanoeBerry> he too is
<CanoeBerry> looking to learn the ins and outs of the XO and Sugar so that he
<CanoeBerry> will be able
<CanoeBerry> to support a deployment to Duk Payuel, southern Sudan, in the next
<CanoeBerry> 3-5 years.
<CanoeBerry> We're all starting to sound like broken records today, but shall we send another starter kit of two XO-1s?
<KGMac> wow southern sudan, that's very brave
<jt4sugar> This is John Tierney I am here representing Fargo Project-Dr. Gerald Ardito also collaborating on initiative-Kevin Brooks hosting Computers and Writing Conference at NDSU this weekend and couldn't attend
<CanoeBerry> Likewise their blog needs more meat :)
<CanoeBerry> http://fargoxo.wordpress.com
<sandrat> good strategy, good resources, leading to helping the neediest most desperate
<GrannieB> What is their tech-ed experience? Coppell Tech in TX and UCSB/Goleta have been working on their projects for a while now... with success... But they both have the "know how"
<dfarning> Is is common to approve project without a ongoing blog or web site?
<CanoeBerry> jt4sugar: great, thanks for joining, please elaborate on your needs/approach.
<sandrat> we should support something to get this started
<sandrat> blog is there but empty
<jt4sugar> Fargo is Refugee city and our hope if we can put in place is to leverage into contact with State Dept. for funding for OLPC/Sugar
<sandrat> good idea
<CanoeBerry> jt4sugar: sounds great. noting proposals of 10 XOs require a blogging track record of similar documented community participation.
<sandrat> usually refugee support funds are paltry however
<CanoeBerry> *or similar documented community participation.
<CanoeBerry> (contribution even better than participation ;)
<jt4sugar> Madison Elementary School where this will occur will also being doing SoaS pilots in 4th and 5th grade classes
<CanoeBerry> Cool
<bernie> jt4sugar: who's running the pilot?
<sandrat> sounds like people we want to encourage
<CanoeBerry> jt4sugar: shall we split the difference, going with 5 refurb'd XO-1s until a solid blog is established?
<dfarning> I would say plus one based largely on the past record of jt and ardito
<CanoeBerry> agreed
<KGMac> +1
<jt4sugar> The connection to NDSU and fact that Kevin Brooks is Chair of English Dept will help with literacy issues also want to start work on Dinak language
<CanoeBerry> jt4sugar: how will you fulfill community reporting requirements?
<jt4sugar> The plan is for Kevin and group to start project page if accepted
<GrannieB> i would go +1 for 10-15 once their blog and wiki page are "up to snuff"
<CanoeBerry> Yes
<CanoeBerry> +1
<sandrat> +1
<GrannieB> They really need more than five for a good start
<jt4sugar> Question I guess is how many want to end up in Sudan
<CanoeBerry> Blogging (or community publication of any kind) is not an option for applications of ~10 XOs.
<CanoeBerry> Calling once..
<GrannieB> Perhaps once they get started they can do some fundraisers to expand to 100?
<CanoeBerry> Calling twice..
<CanoeBerry> Calling thrice..
<GrannieB> +1 for more than 5
<CanoeBerry> CONDITIONALLY APPROVED based on solid blogging evidence and forward plans, towards sharing results with OLPC/Sugar
globally.
<CanoeBerry> Thanks!
<CanoeBerry> Onto final Project #10 - plz all review/mentor/vote for:
<jt4sugar> How many would that be?

<CanoeBerry> Requests 4 XO-1.5s over 12 months
<CanoeBerry> Project Background/Objectives:
<CanoeBerry> Currently there are 50 XO 1.0, and 4 XO 1.5 laptops deployed in the
<CanoeBerry> Ntugi
<CanoeBerry> Day School. Due to ongoing changes to the XO kernel's from version
<CanoeBerry> to version,
<CanoeBerry> certain functions are only available on certain machines. We would
<CanoeBerry> like to
<CanoeBerry> have the same activities and functions available on all XO's
<CanoeBerry> deployed to
<CanoeBerry> alleviate complicated re-imaging deployment issues, along with having a
<CanoeBerry> more equal experience for all XO users.
<CanoeBerry> [a bit more coming..]
<CanoeBerry> We currently have provided Ntugi with three distinct images, one at 711
<CanoeBerry> for XO-1 use with the Vernier equipment, on at 802 for XO-1 user for
<CanoeBerry> standard activities and the added features and activities of 802 over
<CanoeBerry> 711, and one at 306 for use with the 1.5's to enable USB microscope use
<CanoeBerry> and Gnome features.
<CanoeBerry> Our goal is to standardize on the 852 build for all XO 1.0's, and 1.5's
<CanoeBerry> and have the core functions and activities identical. This will
<CanoeBerry> also aid
<CanoeBerry> in the saturation process as there will be less haves and have-not
<CanoeBerry> issues.
<CanoeBerry> We have developed an install script which local-installs all the
<CanoeBerry> required
<CanoeBerry> RPM's to minimize data plan expenses, and are hoping to simultaneously
<CanoeBerry> deploy temp/swap/program SD cards so that the XO 1.0's can have
<CanoeBerry> sufficient
<CanoeBerry> processing power to run the more intensive applications.
<CanoeBerry> jt4sugar: the final count will depend on the quality of your blog, thanks.
<CanoeBerry> pretty colors not required. solid reporting is.
<bernie> I wonder what kernel changes they're referringto
<bernie> and also which intensive applications
<KGMac> 711 allows for the ldusb drivers
<jt4sugar> Thank You they will be very excited!!
<KGMac> that was deprecated by 802 replace by vtusb
<CanoeBerry> jt4sugar: thanks for spearheading!
<GrannieB> I would like to know more about the USB microscope use
<CanoeBerry> KGMac: care to introduce your work?
<KGMac> that was deprecatec by 852 and is now a an libusb user space
<KGMac> so. we have 711 machines htat can run USB Vernier sensors, and 852 and 306 on the 1.5 that can run USB microscopes
<bernie> KGMac: that should make things easier if you need to add support for a new usb device
<KGMac> however the 802 xo1s; can run neither
<CanoeBerry> KGMac: pay your Texas hacker well!!
<KGMac> Mikus Girinbergs in Austin his helping us delvelop a modified kernel extenion so that the Verniers and the microscopes on the XO 1's ... hes quite a character
<CanoeBerry> Anybody with a Younge+Bloor address had better, eh? Wink amongst Canadians :)
<GrannieB> have you published your work with the microscope? Do you have a link? Are you in TX? Anywhere near DFW?
<KGMac> right now, we have only an empty shell on the wiki for microscopes, because it only works on the 1.5's
<KGMac> we are in Canada.
<KGMac> we found Mikus throuhg the community
<CanoeBerry> Are 2 XO-1.5s sufficient until OLPC replenishes its inventory?
<KGMac> that would be magnificent
<KGMac> we will be in San Francisso, so anyone who wants to see our stuff is welcome to
<CanoeBerry> OLPC's pretty much high+dry right now regarding Contributors Program inventory, but I'll see what I can do.

<dfarning> mavrothal, can you tell me more about the puppy project.
<bernie> CanoeBerry: I'm gonna tell them that I'm an education terrorist
<mavrothal> Yeh, Mick is really serious about it
<KGMac> will Bernie be coming to San Fran, Mark Battley is still unable to commit, but I think if he can watch Bernie to bicycle tricks, that might just push him into the yes for sure side
<mavrothal> Was really interested in the Aussie machines going to aboriginals that he has a thing for
<mavrothal> The idea is to see if we can get a minimal Puppy running better than now and then see if we can port sugar over it
<dfarning> mavrothal, could you do an introduction ? I'm pretty involved in the sugar on ubuntu project:)
* KGMac2 Quit (Quit: CGI:IRC (EOF))
<mavrothal> and/or other edu apps
<mavrothal> dfarning: where to start from? How far back?
<dfarning> mavrothal, we have working sugar .88 in maverick to be release the day after tomorrow.... I am
<dfarning> mavrothal, in two weeks we will have sugar .90 on maverick.
<dfarning> mavrothal, now I am interested in getting ubuntu/puppy to work on the xo hardware.
* tabs has joined #olpc-meeting
<mavrothal> dfarning: the problem with puppy is that it has a really chopped up python
<mavrothal> So Sugar is going to be a problem
<mavrothal> Puppy/pucid is running almost OK on the XO http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=60155
<mavrothal> Some issues with PM but I'm working on itLucid :)
<mavrothal> with pgf
* dfarning reads more about puppy... I had thought that it was basically a trimmed down ubuntu.
<mavrothal> It's made out of Ubuntu binaries
<mavrothal> But is Puppy in core
<mavrothal> So you can install most of Lucid packages without problem but then it becomes imposible to run in RAM
<dfarning> mavrothal, ok got it. was it a lot of work to modify the sugar packages in lucid to work in ram/puppy?
<mavrothal> Was? This is not done yet.
<bernie> KGMac: lol
<mavrothal> We are still trying to get puppy run reliably on the XO
<bernie> KGMac: first I want 2 pints of delicious beer
<dfarning> mavrothal, I just read the XOpup RC is ready post :)
<KGMac> i will buy beer.
<mavrothal> :|
<dfarning> mavrothal, can you send me your email? I read some more about xopup and get back to you this weekend.
<mavrothal> send you where?
