Create USB sticks (such as Sugar on a Stick) <CanoeBerry> 2. Create a CD or DVD disc from an .iso image if the necessary <CanoeBerry> hardware is available <CanoeBerry> The goal is to allow any XO user or anyone walking up to an XO in <CanoeBerry> book mode to <CanoeBerry> select and create a bootable USB stick or disc. <CanoeBerry> For CD burning this amounts to a simple graphical interface to this <CanoeBerry> command line: <CanoeBerry> sudo wodim dev=3D/dev/sdrw -tao driveropts=3Dburnfree -v -data <CanoeBerry> ~/toaster/soas-2-blueberry.iso speed=16 <CanoeBerry> Testing will prove that toaster is useful for <CanoeBerry> ~/toaster/soas-2-boot.iso and <CanoeBerry> other .iso images of Linux distributions and open source software CDs <CanoeBerry> such <CanoeBerry> as Software Freedom Day. http://softwarefreedomday.org * ndoiron has joined #olpc-meeting <CanoeBerry> Page says "This activity is not yet functional.

The specific "activities" on the XO laptop would be the <CanoeBerry> focus of our class. Our goals are to promote creativity, <CanoeBerry> colloboration and <CanoeBerry> sustainability. <CanoeBerry> Our choice of programs, such as the Tam Tam Jam, Record, <CanoeBerry> Scratch and eToys, will be the focus for creativity and we will be <CanoeBerry> teaching <CanoeBerry> the children how create music, programs, website, design etc.While <CanoeBerry> creating <CanoeBerry> we also want to highlight the tools that will help the children <CanoeBerry> colloborate, <CanoeBerry> the focus of our end presentation will be collaborative through group <CanoeBerry> presentations. Lastly we wish to use the laptops and to set up <CanoeBerry> Pen-pals so <CanoeBerry> that once we leave Rwanda we can still mentor the children as a means of <CanoeBerry> documentation of how the children have taken what we have taught them as <CanoeBerry> well as sustaining a deep relationship with the children. <CanoeBerry> ndoiron: do you know any of these 7 applicants? <ndoiron> I met 4 of them, it's a great project they've got planned <CanoeBerry> They seem to be Carnegie Mellon students in large part? <CanoeBerry> Do tell! <CanoeBerry> They need a public site. <ndoiron> all CMU undergrad students, plus we're going to bring students from the Qatar campus <CanoeBerry> Qatar campus of CMU?? <ndoiron> yes, we have a branch there <culseg> I have no issues with proposal but wonder if this is a OLPC-Corps proejct that has its own source of XOs? <ndoiron> the students in Rwanda have XOs <ndoiron> the contributor program is to get our people up to speed on the software and tech <ndoiron> it's a week of extra creative classes and activities, aimed at showing students in Rwanda the capabilities of the XO <ndoiron> so they're hoping to have some practice with the XOs beforehand <CanoeBerry> Are they working with existing XO deployments in Rwanda, and if so how many kids? <ndoiron> they're going to work with an existing Rwanda deployment. It sounds like we can have multiple large classes so maybe 100 kids? I can't say for certain <CanoeBerry> OK, just clarifying that XO-1.5 is inappropriate indeed. <CanoeBerry> So 4 XOs will kickstart the training in Pitt? <CanoeBerry> When are they needed by? <ndoiron> they're hoping to start ASAP since the trip starts in mid-May <CanoeBerry> Got it. What's the pen-pal'ing plan? <ndoiron> mentors program ... we have a bunch of smart people at CMU and only a few were able to go on the trip, so they hope to connect in mentors <CanoeBerry> +1 but wanting more details & public "blog" with quasiweekly updates -- can that happen? <CanoeBerry> Please all vote! <ndoiron> I'll send them an e-mail on project page, blogging, etc <ndoiron> +1 <culseg> vote CB chat with Paul C and then +1 <CanoeBerry> culseg: chat on what topic? <culseg> on how these programs collaborate if at all? <CanoeBerry> ndoiron: can you shed some light on culseg's question? <culseg> see cc list in proposal <ndoiron> how which programs collaborate? <CanoeBerry> Who is developing the school/principal/teacher relationships in Rwanda here? <CanoeBerry> That's the person I'd like to hear from, more than Paul C who's already looked this over. <ndoiron> the group contacted OLPC Rwanda a month ago and will get a school recommended to them <ndoiron> I had the impression OLPC Rwanda would connect them to the school, and while there they'd help out with classes and get acquainted <CanoeBerry> ndoiron: Perfect. Are you in direct touch with JJD (applicant) to ask if he can present Sunday 4PM pre-trip and/or post-trip? <CanoeBerry> Present being a strong word. <CanoeBerry> A 10-min call with his own questions etc would be great. <ndoiron> I haven't written to them for awhile so you could probably give them more details on that <CanoeBerry> In any case, let's conclude. <CanoeBerry> ndoiron: can you tutor them for afar, monitoring their progress every 10 days or so? <CanoeBerry> Or at least AdminCC their project ticket, no obligation? <ndoiron> I'll see what I can do, CC me on e-mails and I'll help with the project page, any problems with XOs, etc <CanoeBerry> Objections from anybody? <CanoeBerry> Calling once.. <CanoeBerry> Calling twice.. <CanoeBerry> Calling thrice.. <CanoeBerry> APPROVED ... * jdebner (~80edeee0@olpc.osuosl.org) has joined #olpc-meeting <culseg> /join #olpc-help <CanoeBerry> culseg: remove the leading space :) <jdebner> join #olpc-meeting <CanoeBerry> jdebner: hi! <jdebner> Hello <CanoeBerry> jdebner: did you see our thoughts above on your project direction? <jdebner> In chrome it shows the page loading tet over where the text entry is... <jdebner> *text <CanoeBerry> We just had a few tiny questions on what's clearly a terrific initiative you've put together.. <jdebner> I didn't get a chance to see them I found out about the email meeting a couple minutes ago <jdebner> I'd be glad to answer anything you got <CanoeBerry> Our questions revolve around helping you pre-trip and learning from you post-trip. <CanoeBerry> Are you able to join one of our Sunday 4pm phone support community calls? <jdebner> Yes we should be able to do that.
