I managed the [http://olpclearningclub.org/ OLPC Learning Club] which, until 2013, met regularly in the Washington, D.C. area. Consisting primarily of people who contributed to OLPC's GiveOneGetOne Campaign in late 2007, the group attracted kids, teens, parents, adult enthusiasts and even seniors who wanted to do more with their XO laptops and the on-board software activities. We met on the third Saturday of every month at the Gallaudet University Student Academic Center in D.C. or the Arlington Career Center in Virginia. There were also many random meetups, salons and parties over the years.<br />
<br />
My day job is at AARP Headquarters in Washington, D.C. where I am one of the directors of the team that operates the public web site [http://www.aarp.org AARP.org]. Part of my job involved acting as AARP's [http://www.flickr.com/photos/curiouslee/sets/154199/ liaison] to the MIT Media Lab where we are a sponsor.

<br />
I manage the [http://olpclearningclub.org/ OLPC Learning Club] which meets monthly in the Washington, D.C. area. Consisting primarily of first-round G1G1 users, the group attracts kids, teens, parents, adult enthusiasts and even seniors. We meet on the third Saturday of every month at the Gallaudet University Student Academic Center or the Arlington Career Center. There are also random meetups, salons and parties.<br />
<br />
My day job is at AARP Headquarters in Washington, D.C. where I am one of the directors of the team that operates the public web site [http://www.aarp.org AARP.org]. Part of my job involves acting as AARP's [http://www.flickr.com/photos/curiouslee/sets/154199/ liaison] to the MIT Media Lab where we are a sponsor. That's how I came to know Walter Bender and Nicholas Negroponte and followed their move to OLPC.<br />
<br />
I live in Wheaton, Maryland, just north of the D.C. beltway with my wife Amy and daughter Cianna. My wife loves technology too and worked recently as a web director at [http://www.kaboom.org KaBoom!] which builds playgrounds all over the U.S. Cianna (born Nov. 2003), when presented with a lineup of laptops consisting of the Asus Eee PC, Intel Classmate 2 and the OLPC XO-1 said, "I like the green one!"<br />

<br />
Welcome to the School Server Community Edition (XSCE, or http://schoolserver.org), a global project where volunteer professionals are taking the [http://UnleashKids.org One Laptop per Child movement] into a new decade, enabling quality learning among the world's poorest children. Commercial support for our free software is available for those who need it, at [http://activitycentral.com/ Activity Central] and through freelance consultants as necessary. Most important, you're invited to [[/FAQ#What.27s_missing_that_I_can_contribute.3F|contribute your talents]] to kids' schools worldwide, in any way you find meaningful!<br />
<br />
=Our Product=<br />
The school Server Community Edition provides communication, networking, content, and maintenance to schools and classrooms. In everyday usage the school server provides services which extend capabilities of the connected laptops while being transparent to the user.<br />
These services include:<br />
* Classroom connectivity – Similar to what you would find in an advanced home router.<br />
* Internet gateway – If available, an internet connection is made available to laptops.<br />
* Content – Tools to make instructional media available to their schools and classrooms.<br />
* Maintenance – Tools to keep laptop updated and running smoothly.<br />
<br />
Get started by downloading and installing the latest: [[/0.3|XSCE 0.3]] was released [[/0.3/Road_Map|June 6, 2013]].<br />
<br />
=Our FAQ=<br />
If you are anything like me, you are already losing interest in lofty, often jumbled, and ambustion prose of the wiki. If so, please jump to the [[/FAQ|Frequently Asked Questions]] (and answers!) from our global community.<br />
<br />
Volunteer contributors keep our FAQ fresh thanks to organic input from folks just like yourself, <i>always welcome!</i><br />
<br />
=Our Project=<br />
The School Server Community Edition is a community-based project developed and supported by volunteers from around the world.<br />
<br />
Our heartbeat is our weekly call at 2PM NYC Time, Thursdays. At the call we review decisions made the previous week and make plans for the next week. Please see the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o6QtzLb6e58YKWqMf_junux2XyBRLFm31un8YLcYslg/edit Agenda] for a history of past topics or to add a topic for a future week. Please email [[User:Holt|Adam Holt]] (holt @ laptop.org) so we can coordinate the logistics necessary to add you to the call.<br />
<br />
Our cadence is our quarterly sprint. Every three months we meet for a week long face-to-face work session. At these sprints we work like crazy to get our features complete so they are ready to make the feature freeze which happen just after a sprint. All are welcome in our community, however, if you are the sort that likes to stand on a soapbox and preach... you might be asked to step outside :)<br />
<br />
If you can not make a call or sprint, please send us your questions or concerns via fax :) Seriously, in addition to the old-fashioned channels, we made use of [https://www.theopensourceway.org/wiki/Introduction typical open community tools].<br />
<br />
Join our IRC live chat immediately [http://webchat.freenode.net/ directly on the web] by entering our channel: <b>#schoolserver</b> -- or, if you prefer, any IRC chat software can be connected to <b>irc.freenode.net</b> to join that same channel.<br />
<br />
Our mailing list is at [http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel server-devel]. Teachers and new contributors especially, are strongly encouraged to ask questions! Please also join the [http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pathagar Pathagar mailing list] if you're interested in digital libraries <i>within</i> the many schools and communities worldwide (1) lacking broadband (2) unable to afford pay-per-view ebooks (3) wary of advertising/manipulation of our youngest citizens.<br />
<br />
Deployment/learning realities are inherently political (''how do we nurture teachers/kids/parents,'' in the face of often monopolistic power from government/corporations/unions/religions, each trying to help) and as such please consider our 35+ person "xsce-devel" Google Group, where all active contributors are invited to join by sending a short paragraph about your experience and XSCE ambitions (holt @ laptop.org). Humanitarian/implementation conversations on civic deployment realities are sorely needed at every level, but the [http://planet.laptop.org history of OLPC] has shown that schools are inherently political places, not always best served by the very "male" traditions of open source mailing lists. In short, educators are too busy for another flame war. As such we seek a more friendly balance, by including more educators' and female voices, thanks to the [https://www.theopensourceway.org/wiki/Communities_of_practice#Develop_both_public_and_private_community_spaces organic interplay between public and private community spaces.]<br />
<br />
Our bug tracker is at https://sugardextrose.org/projects/xsce.<br />
<br />
Our [[/FAQ#Where_are_the_docs.3F|technical and user documentation,]] while crucially evolving at an early stage, can and should be critiqued and refined by all.<br />
<br />
=Our Ecosystem=<br />
The School Server ecosystem is fascinating. There are hundreds of similar projects around the world. Each work from slightly different perspectives. If you are interested in the project... but don't quite 'feel it,' please consider one of the following projects.<br />

Welcome to the School Server Community Edition (XSCE, or http://schoolserver.org), a global project where volunteer professionals are taking the [http://UnleashKids.org One Laptop per Child movement] into a new decade, enabling quality learning among the world's poorest children. Commercial support for our free software is available for those who need it, at [http://activitycentral.com/ Activity Central] and through freelance consultants as necessary. Most important, you're invited to [[/FAQ#What.27s_missing_that_I_can_contribute.3F|contribute your talents]] to kids' schools worldwide, in any way you find meaningful!<br />
<br />
=Our Product=<br />
The school Server Community Edition provides communication, networking, content, and maintenance to schools and classrooms. In everyday usage the school server provides services which extend capabilities of the connected laptops while being transparent to the user.<br />
These services include:<br />
* Classroom connectivity – Similar to what you would find in an advanced home router.<br />
* Internet gateway – If available, an internet connection is made available to laptops.<br />
* Content – Tools to make instructional media available to their schools and classrooms.<br />
* Maintenance – Tools to keep laptop updated and running smoothly.<br />
<br />
Get started by downloading and installing the latest: [[/0.3|XSCE 0.3]] was released [[/0.3/Road_Map|June 6, 2013]].<br />
<br />
=Our FAQ=<br />
If you are anything like me, you are already losing interest in lofty, often jumbled, and ambustion prose of the wiki. If so, please jump to the [[/FAQ|Frequently Asked Questions]] (and answers!) from our global community.<br />
<br />
Volunteer contributors keep our FAQ fresh thanks to organic input from folks just like yourself, <i>always welcome!</i><br />
<br />
=Our Project=<br />
The School Server Community Edition is a community-based project developed and supported by volunteers from around the world.<br />
<br />
Our heartbeat is our weekly call at 2PM NYC Time, Thursdays. At the call we review decisions made the previous week and make plans for the next week. Please see the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o6QtzLb6e58YKWqMf_junux2XyBRLFm31un8YLcYslg/edit Agenda] for a history of past topics or to add a topic for a future week. Please email [[User:Holt|Adam Holt]] (holt @ laptop.org) so we can coordinate the logistics necessary to add you to the call.<br />
<br />
Our cadence is our quarterly sprint. Every three months we meet for a week long face-to-face work session. At these sprints we work like crazy to get our features complete so they are ready to make the feature freeze which happen just after a sprint. All are welcome in our community, however, if you are the sort that likes to stand on a soapbox and preach... you might be asked to step outside :)<br />
<br />
If you can not make a call or sprint, please send us your questions or concerns via fax :) Seriously, in addition to the old-fashioned channels, we made use of [https://www.theopensourceway.org/wiki/Introduction typical open community tools].<br />
<br />
Join our IRC live chat immediately [http://webchat.freenode.net/ directly on the web] by entering our channel: <b>#schoolserver</b> -- or, if you prefer, any IRC chat software can be connected to <b>irc.freenode.net</b> to join that same channel.<br />
<br />
Our mailing list is at [http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel server-devel]. Teachers and new contributors especially, are strongly encouraged to ask questions! Please also join the [http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pathagar Pathagar mailing list] if you're interested in digital libraries <i>within</i> the many schools and communities worldwide (1) lacking broadband (2) unable to afford pay-per-view ebooks (3) wary of advertising/manipulation of our youngest citizens.<br />
<br />
Deployment/learning realities are inherently political (''how do we nurture teachers/kids/parents,'' in the face of often monopolistic power from government/corporations/unions/religions, each trying to help) and as such please consider our 35+ person "xsce-devel" Google Group, where all active contributors are invited to join by sending a short paragraph about your experience and XSCE ambitions (holt @ laptop.org). Humanitarian/implementation conversations on civic deployment realities are sorely needed at every level, but the [http://planet.laptop.org history of OLPC] has shown that schools are inherently political places, not always best served by the very "male" traditions of open source mailing lists. In short, educators are too busy for another flame war. As such we seek a more friendly balance, by including more educators' and female voices, thanks to the [https://www.theopensourceway.org/wiki/Communities_of_practice#Develop_both_public_and_private_community_spaces organic interplay between public and private community spaces.]<br />
<br />
Our bug tracker is at https://sugardextrose.org/projects/xsce.<br />
<br />
Our [[/FAQ#Where_are_the_docs.3F|technical and user documentation,]] while crucially evolving at an early stage, can and should be critiqued and refined by all.<br />
<br />
=Our Ecosystem=<br />
The School Server ecosystem is fascinating. There are hundreds of similar projects around the world. Each work from slightly different perspectives. If you are interested in the project... but don't quite 'feel it,' please consider one of the following projects.<br />

=== [[OLPC Learning Club D.C./Jabber Server|Sunday, Nov 2, 2008: Jabber Server]] ===<br />
<br />
The [[OLPC Learning Club D.C./Jabber Server|Jabber Server]] had been offline from September 10th until today due to a system crash, but it's back.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== [[OLPC Learning Club D.C./Jabber Server|Saturday, April 26, 2008: Jabber Server]] ===<br />
<br />
We have a [[OLPC Learning Club D.C./Jabber Server|Jabber Server]] for use by D.C. area XO enthusiasts that will let us use our XO laptops together even when we are not in the same room together.<br />
<br />
== Things we do ==<br />
<br />
=== XO Family Mesh Meetup ===<br />
<br />
The idea is to bring together three groups of people to work on the following things:<br />
<br />
* Kids and parents who want to meet other kids and parents and do cool things together with their XOs.<br />
* Software developers wanted to work on software for the XO.<br />
* Educational materials developers wanting to collaborate on the development of educational materials for the XO.<br />
<br />
Having these three groups co-locate will create all kinds of synergistic possibilities. Let the meshing begin!<br />
<br />
Keep an eye on the OLPC Learning Club DC website, OLPCnews.com and this wiki-entry for announcements about the next meetup.<br />
<br />
=== XO Bar Meetups ===<br />
<br />
Some people aren't too keen on getting up early on a Saturday morning to attend the XO Family Mesh Meetup. Others just like to cool their mood with a brew after a heated discussion on the latest OLPC developments. To address this audience there are semi-regular XO Bar Meetups. These meetings are announced on both the OLPC Learning Club DC website and OLPCnews.com.<br />
<br />
== Other Projects ==<br />
<br />
Apart from these Meetups the OLPC Learning Club DC also want to contribute to the overall "learning learning" efforts by means of sprints, jams, excursions and other projects. Stay tuned for announcements on both the OLPC Learning Club DC website and OLPCnews.com over the coming weeks.<br />
<br />

<br />
== Club Resources ==<br />
<br />
=== [[http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_DC_Repair XO Repair Center]] ===<br />
<br />
Club member Luke Faraone, who is also a longtime member of the official OLPC Support Gang has been leading the operation of a local XO laptop repair center. The repair center can perform a variety of parts exchanges, revive some dead laptops and update the software. Visit the [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_DC_Repair repair center wiki page] for more information.<br />
<br />
=== [[/Lending_library|Lending library]] ===<br />
As of September 2009, the Learning Club is operating its XO Laptop Lending Library. The club will loan attendees of our meetings an XO laptop for up to a month. Ideal patrons of this service are individuals who:<br />
<br />
* want to get some hands-on time with an XO "to see if it's for them."<br />
* have an idea for the [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Contributors_Program OLPC Contributor's Program] to get granted one or more free laptops, but want to try out an XO in order to test a concept.<br />
* have one XO already and need a second to try our the wireless collaboration features.<br />
* need an XO to do a presentation.<br />
<br />
Arrangements need to be made in advance by email to Mike Lee curiouslee [at] gmail.com, Jeff Elkner jeff [at] elkner.net or Kevin Cole dcloco [at] gmail.com. The laptops can be picked up at the next scheduled meeting. Meetings are typically held at the Arlington Career Center or Gallaudet University. We have also made arrangements to store some laptops at [http://www.hacdc.org HacDC] for pick-up, but please do not ask them to arrange for the laptop loans. Use the email addresses above. At the meeting, we will collect your contact information and we reserve the right to check ID if you've never attended before. <br />
<br />
If you've borrowed a laptop, please consult this page of [[information for new laptop patrons]] with links to basic documentation and resources.<br />
<br />
=== [[OLPC Contributor's Program]] ===<br />
<br />
The Learning Club supports the [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Contributors_Program OLPC Contributor's Program]. This program operated from OLPC Headquarters, will take grant applications for one or more free laptops to support interesting projects that will be documented to the public. Members of the Learning Club will provide coaching on how to win a grant.<br />

<br />
I manage the [http://olpclearningclub.org/ OLPC Learning Club] which meets monthly in the Washington, D.C. area. Consisting primarily of first-round G1G1 users, the group attracts kids, teens, parents, adult enthusiasts and even seniors. We meet on the third Saturday of every month at the Gallaudet University Student Academic Center or the Arlington Career Center. There are also random meetups, salons and parties.<br />
<br />
My day job is at AARP Headquarters in Washington, D.C. where I am one of the directors of the team that operates the public web site [http://www.aarp.org AARP.org]. Part of my job involves acting as AARP's [http://www.flickr.com/photos/curiouslee/sets/154199/ liaison] to the MIT Media Lab where we are a sponsor. That's how I came to know Walter Bender and Nicholas Negroponte and followed their move to OLPC.<br />
<br />
I live in Wheaton, Maryland, just north of the D.C. beltway with my wife Amy and daughter Cianna. My wife loves technology too and worked recently as a web director at [http://www.kaboom.org KaBoom!] which builds playgrounds all over the U.S. Cianna (born Nov. 2003), when presented with a lineup of laptops consisting of the Asus Eee PC, Intel Classmate 2 and the OLPC XO-1 said, "I like the green one!"<br />

<div>On XO-1.5 and using recent Operating Systems, it is easy to make a USB2VGA adapter work. Using USB2VGA adapters slows your XO down, and has some limitations (see below for details).<br />
<br />
= Selecting the right USB-SVGA adapter =<br />
<br />
This technique is supported with some USB-SVGA adapters based on the SIS USB-SVGA device, which uses the 'sisusbvga'(kernel) and 'sisusb'(xorg) drivers.<br />
<br />
This driver supports cards based on the Net2280/SiS315 chipset, according to [http://www.winischhofer.eu/linuxsisusbvga.shtml the author's page here]. Some devices reported to work [http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/AddVGAAdapter according to the NSLU2 wiki]<br />

'''Important notice :''' In older OSs, unless you compiled the sisusbvga module for your kernel, the module can possibly not be fully powered on, do not think the XO is not powerful enough to handle it, just insert the module to make sure it gets powered on.<br />

** On XO-1, the OS releases based on Fedora 11 (the 10.1.x series) cannot run both the internal video card and a SiS USB device.<br />
* '''Sometimes changes are not shown on screen immediately'''. Move the pointer to get the external display updated. There is a bug in the SiSUSBVGA driver that "forgets" to update the screen. We are investigating.<br />

<br />
The [[OLPC Learning Club D.C./Jabber Server|Jabber Server]] had been offline from September 10th until today due to a system crash, but it's back.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== [[OLPC Learning Club D.C./Jabber Server|Saturday, April 26, 2008: Jabber Server]] ===<br />
<br />
We have a [[OLPC Learning Club D.C./Jabber Server|Jabber Server]] for use by D.C. area XO enthusiasts that will let us use our XO laptops together even when we are not in the same room together.<br />
<br />
== Things we do ==<br />
<br />
=== XO Family Mesh Meetup ===<br />
<br />
The idea is to bring together three groups of people to work on the following things:<br />
<br />
* Kids and parents who want to meet other kids and parents and do cool things together with their XOs.<br />
* Software developers wanted to work on software for the XO.<br />
* Educational materials developers wanting to collaborate on the development of educational materials for the XO.<br />
<br />
Having these three groups co-locate will create all kinds of synergistic possibilities. Let the meshing begin!<br />
<br />
Keep an eye on the OLPC Learning Club DC website, OLPCnews.com and this wiki-entry for announcements about the next meetup.<br />
<br />
=== XO Bar Meetups ===<br />
<br />
Some people aren't too keen on getting up early on a Saturday morning to attend the XO Family Mesh Meetup. Others just like to cool their mood with a brew after a heated discussion on the latest OLPC developments. To address this audience there are semi-regular XO Bar Meetups. These meetings are announced on both the OLPC Learning Club DC website and OLPCnews.com.<br />
<br />
== Other Projects ==<br />
<br />
Apart from these Meetups the OLPC Learning Club DC also want to contribute to the overall "learning learning" efforts by means of sprints, jams, excursions and other projects. Stay tuned for announcements on both the OLPC Learning Club DC website and OLPCnews.com over the coming weeks.<br />

Club member Luke Faraone, who is also a longtime member of the official OLPC Support Gang has been leading the operation of a local XO laptop repair center. The repair center can perform a variety of parts exchanges, revive some dead laptops and update the software.

<br />
=== [[/Lending_library|Lending library]] ===<br />
As of September 2009, the Learning Club is operating its XO Laptop Lending Library. The club will loan attendees of our meetings an XO laptop for up to a month. Ideal patrons of this service are individuals who:<br />
<br />
* want to get some hands-on time with an XO "to see if it's for them."<br />
* have an idea for the [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Contributors_Program OLPC Contributor's Program] to get granted one or more free laptops, but want to try out an XO in order to test a concept.<br />
* have one XO already and need a second to try our the wireless collaboration features.<br />
* need an XO to do a presentation.<br />
<br />
Arrangements need to be made in advance by email to Mike Lee curiouslee [at] gmail.com, Jeff Elkner jeff [at] elkner.net or Kevin Cole dcloco [at] gmail.com. The laptops can be picked up at the next scheduled meeting. Meetings are typically held at the Arlington Career Center or Gallaudet University. We have also made arrangements to store some laptops at [http://www.hacdc.org HacDC] for pick-up, but please do not ask them to arrange for the laptop loans. Use the email addresses above. At the meeting, we will collect your contact information and we reserve the right to check ID if you've never attended before. <br />
<br />
If you've borrowed a laptop, please consult this page of [[information for new laptop patrons]] with links to basic documentation and resources.<br />
<br />
=== [[OLPC Contributor's Program]] ===<br />
<br />
The Learning Club supports the [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Contributors_Program OLPC Contributor's Program].

<br />
The [[OLPC Learning Club D.C./Jabber Server|Jabber Server]] had been offline from September 10th until today due to a system crash, but it's back.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== [[OLPC Learning Club D.C./Jabber Server|Saturday, April 26, 2008: Jabber Server]] ===<br />
<br />
We have a [[OLPC Learning Club D.C./Jabber Server|Jabber Server]] for use by D.C. area XO enthusiasts that will let us use our XO laptops together even when we are not in the same room together.<br />
<br />
== Things we do ==<br />
<br />
=== XO Family Mesh Meetup ===<br />
<br />
The idea is to bring together three groups of people to work on the following things:<br />
<br />
* Kids and parents who want to meet other kids and parents and do cool things together with their XOs.<br />
* Software developers wanted to work on software for the XO.<br />
* Educational materials developers wanting to collaborate on the development of educational materials for the XO.<br />
<br />
Having these three groups co-locate will create all kinds of synergistic possibilities. Let the meshing begin!<br />
<br />
Keep an eye on the OLPC Learning Club DC website, OLPCnews.com and this wiki-entry for announcements about the next meetup.<br />
<br />
=== XO Bar Meetups ===<br />
<br />
Some people aren't too keen on getting up early on a Saturday morning to attend the XO Family Mesh Meetup. Others just like to cool their mood with a brew after a heated discussion on the latest OLPC developments. To address this audience there are semi-regular XO Bar Meetups. These meetings are announced on both the OLPC Learning Club DC website and OLPCnews.com.<br />
<br />
== Other Projects ==<br />
<br />
Apart from these Meetups the OLPC Learning Club DC also want to contribute to the overall "learning learning" efforts by means of sprints, jams, excursions and other projects. Stay tuned for announcements on both the OLPC Learning Club DC website and OLPCnews.com over the coming weeks.<br />

<br />
Club member Luke Faraone, who is also a longtime member of the official OLPC Support Gang has been leading the operation of a local XO laptop repair center. The repair center can perform a variety of parts exchanges, revive some dead laptops and update the software. Visit the [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_DC_Repair repair center wiki page] for more information.<br />
<br />
=== [[/Lending_library|Lending library]] ===<br />
As of September 2009, the Learning Club is operating its XO Laptop Lending Library. The club will loan attendees of our meetings an XO laptop for up to a month. Ideal patrons of this service are individuals who:<br />
<br />
* want to get some hands-on time with an XO "to see if it's for them."<br />
* have an idea for the [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Contributors_Program OLPC Contributor's Program] to get granted one or more free laptops, but want to try out an XO in order to test a concept.<br />
* have one XO already and need a second to try our the wireless collaboration features.<br />
* need an XO to do a presentation.<br />
<br />
Arrangements need to be made in advance by email to Mike Lee curiouslee [at] gmail.com, Jeff Elkner jeff [at] elkner.net or Kevin Cole dcloco [at] gmail.com. The laptops can be picked up at the next scheduled meeting. Meetings are typically held at the Arlington Career Center or Gallaudet University. We have also made arrangements to store some laptops at [http://www.hacdc.org HacDC] for pick-up, but please do not ask them to arrange for the laptop loans. Use the email addresses above. At the meeting, we will collect your contact information and we reserve the right to check ID if you've never attended before. <br />
<br />
If you've borrowed a laptop, please consult this page of [[information for new laptop patrons]] with links to basic documentation and resources.<br />
<br />
=== [[OLPC Contributor's Program]] ===<br />
<br />
The Learning Club supports the [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Contributors_Program OLPC Contributor's Program].

The [[OLPC Learning Club D.C./Jabber Server|Jabber Server]] had been offline from September 10th until today due to a system crash, but it's back.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== [[OLPC Learning Club D.C./Jabber Server|Saturday, April 26, 2008: Jabber Server]] ===<br />
<br />
We have a [[OLPC Learning Club D.C./Jabber Server|Jabber Server]] for use by D.C. area XO enthusiasts that will let us use our XO laptops together even when we are not in the same room together.<br />
<br />
== Things we do ==<br />
<br />
=== XO Family Mesh Meetup ===<br />
<br />
The idea is to bring together three groups of people to work on the following things:<br />
<br />
* Kids and parents who want to meet other kids and parents and do cool things together with their XOs.<br />
* Software developers wanted to work on software for the XO.<br />
* Educational materials developers wanting to collaborate on the development of educational materials for the XO.<br />
<br />
Having these three groups co-locate will create all kinds of synergistic possibilities. Let the meshing begin!<br />
<br />
Keep an eye on the OLPC Learning Club DC website, OLPCnews.com and this wiki-entry for announcements about the next meetup.<br />
<br />
=== XO Bar Meetups ===<br />
<br />
Some people aren't too keen on getting up early on a Saturday morning to attend the XO Family Mesh Meetup. Others just like to cool their mood with a brew after a heated discussion on the latest OLPC developments. To address this audience there are semi-regular XO Bar Meetups. These meetings are announced on both the OLPC Learning Club DC website and OLPCnews.com.<br />
<br />
== Other Projects ==<br />
<br />
Apart from these Meetups the OLPC Learning Club DC also want to contribute to the overall "learning learning" efforts by means of sprints, jams, excursions and other projects. Stay tuned for announcements on both the OLPC Learning Club DC website and OLPCnews.com over the coming weeks.<br />

As of September 2009, the Learning Club is operating its XO Laptop Lending Library. The club will loan attendees of our meetings an XO laptop for up to a month. Ideal patrons of this service are individuals who:<br />
<br />
* want to get some hands-on time with an XO "to see if it's for them."<br />
* have an idea for the [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Contributors_Program OLPC Contributor's Program] to get granted one or more free laptops, but want to try out an XO in order to test a concept.<br />
* have one XO already and need a second to try our the wireless collaboration features.<br />
* need an XO to do a presentation.<br />
<br />
Arrangements need to be made in advance by email to Mike Lee curiouslee [at] gmail.com, Jeff Elkner jeff [at] elkner.net or Kevin Cole dcloco [at] gmail.com. The laptops can be picked up at the next scheduled meeting. Meetings are typically held at the Arlington Career Center or Gallaudet University. We have also made arrangements to store some laptops at [http://www.hacdc.org HacDC] for pick-up, but please do not ask them to arrange for the laptop loans. Use the email addresses above. At the meeting, we will collect your contact information and we reserve the right to check ID if you've never attended before. <br />
<br />
If you've borrowed a laptop, please consult this page of [[information for new laptop patrons]] with links to basic documentation and resources.<br />
<br />
=== [[OLPC Contributor's Program]] ===<br />
<br />
The Learning Club supports the [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Contributors_Program OLPC Contributor's Program].

<br />
<br />
=== [[OLPC Learning Club D.C./Jabber Server|Saturday, April 26, 2008: Jabber Server]] ===<br />
<br />
We have a [[OLPC Learning Club D.C./Jabber Server|Jabber Server]] for use by D.C. area XO enthusiasts that will let us use our XO laptops together even when we are not in the same room together.<br />
<br />
== Things we do ==<br />
<br />
=== XO Family Mesh Meetup ===<br />
<br />
The idea is to bring together three groups of people to work on the following things:<br />
<br />
* Kids and parents who want to meet other kids and parents and do cool things together with their XOs.<br />
* Software developers wanted to work on software for the XO.<br />
* Educational materials developers wanting to collaborate on the development of educational materials for the XO.<br />
<br />
Having these three groups co-locate will create all kinds of synergistic possibilities. Let the meshing begin!<br />
<br />
Keep an eye on the OLPC Learning Club DC website, OLPCnews.com and this wiki-entry for announcements about the next meetup.<br />
<br />
=== XO Bar Meetups ===<br />
<br />
Some people aren't too keen on getting up early on a Saturday morning to attend the XO Family Mesh Meetup. Others just like to cool their mood with a brew after a heated discussion on the latest OLPC developments. To address this audience there are semi-regular XO Bar Meetups. These meetings are announced on both the OLPC Learning Club DC website and OLPCnews.com.<br />
<br />
== Other Projects ==<br />
<br />
Apart from these Meetups the OLPC Learning Club DC also want to contribute to the overall "learning learning" efforts by means of sprints, jams, excursions and other projects. Stay tuned for announcements on both the OLPC Learning Club DC website and OLPCnews.com over the coming weeks.<br />

<br />
Our 2010 OLPC/Sugar/Realness Summit is an [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_SanFranciscoBayArea OLPC-SF] community event designed to foster collaboration amongst deployment teams in the SF Bay Area and those arriving from around the world. Almost 3 years after the introduction [http://wiki.laptop.org OLPC's XO] and the [http://sugarlabs.org Sugar Learning Platform], there has never been an opportunity for so many of our [http://realness.org volunteer movement's implementers], teachers, learning designers, software developers, and hardware experts to meet and learn from each other eye to eye!<br />
<br />
We also hope that the event will introduce these powerful ideas and accomplishments to a growing group of OLPC and Sugar volunteers and partners everywhere -- Think globally; Act locally.<br />
<br />
The event is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birds_of_a_Feather_%28computing%29 "Birds of a Feather"] type event but largely run as an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference unconference]. [[#Possible Topics|Claim your session before the schedule's finalized!]]<br />

<span style="color:orange;">'''Education Track'''</span><br />
* Peer2Peer Learning in Latin America, with OLPC's Jennifer Martino (15:15-16:30 Sat). Peer to Peer learning as an opportunity for classroom facilitation, self-esteem building, positive socialization and much more: "Peer to peer learning has proven to be a positive force in OLPC projects worldwide. When a collaborative environment of sharing and problem solving is fostered within and across classrooms, teachers receive the benefit of reduced pressure to always "have the answer" and the opportunity to learn a great deal from their students. What’s more, facilitators of P2P initiatives note improved self esteem and social integration of students labeled as troublemakers and/or academic under-achievers. This session is designed to share best practices and lessons learned in P2P learning. Both the Nicaraguan experience and participant perspectives will be explored." OLPC's Barbara Barry will extend the idea of peer-to-peer to how smart computers can help (or hurt) children as they model mentors and friends - to understand what they know and how they learn.<br />

== Travel Scholarships ==<br />
<br />
Very partial travel scholarships may be possible for volunteers from outside North America especially. Please contact Adam Holt (holt @ laptop.org) if you can assist our movement's greatest volunteers -- or need partial assistance on your own plane fare!<br />
<br />
== Suggested Accommodations/Eateries ==<br />
<br />
1. While many attendees are staying with friendly volunteers around the Bay Area, the "Fort Mason Hostel" offers a great, affordable -- and historic -- location where several volunteers will be congregating. Bonus: they have Wifi!<br />
<br />
Private rooms are available for substantially less than regular SF hotels, and you might get lucky with views of the Golden Gate Bridge etc. This unique hostel is very close to Fisherman's Wharf, and details are here: http://www.sfhostels.com/fishermans-wharf/<br />
<br />
2. Another reasonably priced and solid hotel in North Beach (not far from the above Hostel) for cost-conscious visitors, is The San Remo Hotel: http://www.sanremohotel.com/san-remo-hotel-specials.php<br />
<br />
--<br />
<br />
FOOD: The SFGate.com web site has a great [http://www.sfgate.com/food/bargains/ "Bargain Bites" Food Section] listing interesting places to eat.<br />
<br />
== Getting to Know Each Other Around SF ==<br />
<br />
* The Out The Door resturant is holding at least 15 seats for a 5pm Saturday meetup of OLPCians and Wikimedians. Wikimedia and OLPC board member SJ Klein and I (James Salsman) should both be there. Topics for discussion may include project overlap. http://westfield.com/sanfrancisco/find/detail/dining?category=2043&retailer=29155 reservation under "Wikimedia" -- feel free to call to edit yourself into the reservation. It is raining, and the OLPC event sold out and is packed, but the people are all very warm.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
* 8PM Thur Oct 21 - many of us will attend thes "5 min of fame" flash talks @ 2168 Mission St, SF: http://noisebridge.net http://5mof.net<br />

Sameer Verma, Hilary Naylor, Carol Ruth Silver, June Kleider<br />
<br />
==== Items discussed ====<br />
<br />
* Event space<br />
** SFSU Space is booked Sat Oct 23rd.<br />
** If we get the SF Soma Hub it will be very convenient, at Powell & 5th.<br />
** If not, the whole event could be at main campus.<br />
** Friday evening? not requested space yet. Suggestion of other places such as museum or library - more social. Or the Hub? Could be at SFSU Downtown. Have to check policies about food. Possibly pot-luck.<br />
* Website: www.olpcsf.org - placeholder now. Liz is working with Mike Lee (OLPC-DC Learning center) on art work for the site.<br />
* Accommodation: June will to host 1-2 people she knows from Realness. Carol also.<br />
* Concerns about liability: opens SFSU and us to lawsuits. Should not host a mechanism for strangers to find each other. Individuals who know others can of course invite them to stay. Can put a disclaimer on the website about finding places to stay - that is, that we are not facilitating that process.<br />
* Space: SFSU classrooms. Have asked for 4 rooms, one to be over-flow. Last time we had 35 people. In addition we have a lounge area. All classrooms technically equipped. Sameer will enquire about bringing in food and drink.<br />
* Program:<br />
**Sameer has a student organization to support logistics. Those possible presenters that we know, we can contact personally, and then if they are interested, pass along to Hilary for sorting details. E.g. Bruce B is working in Haiti on solar-power project.<br />
**Carol: new org founded by Swig, office in SF, creating solar for developing world. Should get them introduced to OLPC. Potential for speed-geek.<br />
**Hilary: who for Senegal project?<br />
**Sameer: will get contacts from the 2 SF HSs.<br />
**Other projects: S. Africa, Afghanistan, Philippines, Senegal, Madagascar, Nepal, Jamaica.<br />
*Schedule: last year sessions were 1.25hr - present for 20-30 min, then questions. Sessions ran concurrently and were not repeated. Most people stayed with the track they started with (education, technology, outreach).<br />
**Should all the deployments have their own speed-geek session? A lot depends on how many can be represented. A general session such as Carol did last year can include several deployments.<br />
**Sunday: people coming from bigger deployments, Sugar labs, OLPC.<br />
**What about the idea that Saturday is local and Sunday out-of-towners?<br />
***Could create an artifical divide. Have to think more about that question.<br />
**Out-of-town presenters: E.g. Bernie Innocenti from Sugar Labs can have a tech session. Richard Smith the hardware guy from OLPC.<br />
** Sameer: last year there were people willing to talk about their experience and their technology, but it was a lot of work to get the commitment. Not a good idea to put potential presenters on the wiki until they are confirmed.<br />
** Topic idea: how to deal with educational establishment. How to ensure laptops stay with students outside of school. What are effective strategies?<br />
* What about a Friday evening social event at the Hub?<br />
** June: Will check it out. Booked the space on Sunday 10:30-3, could not choose an earlier time. Will do an inventory re tables and chairs next week. It's going to cost $500. ($400 for 3 hours, $95/hr after that.) If there are no fees for anything else we will be happy to underwrite that. Okay to bring in food. Especially if paying by the hour for the room.<br />
*Target date for website end of August.<br />
*Last year the starting time was 9 and it didn't work, so better to do 10.<br />
*Money: Hilary and Sameer think that charging $50 is too much, will deter people even if there is a sliding scale, and that $10 is too little to be worth the hassle. Most likely the University would not approve. Registration is a good idea. It can be done thru eventbright or similar? Liz is checking that out.<br />

* Pretty much confirmed for Fri 21 evening, Sat 22 & Sun 23<br />
* Non-trivial costs are involved for using SFSU's Downtown Center on Sunday, but it remains a possibility<br />
* Investigating other locations<br />
* Naming: OLPC SF Community Summit 2010<br />
** Include related icons on site and during promotion: sugar labs, realness<br />
* Daily structure not strictly split, but loosely:<br />
** Friday night: Introduction and networking<br />
** Saturday: Outside SF sessions<br />
** Sunday: OLPC SF members sessions<br />

Sameer Verma, Hilary Naylor, Carol Ruth Silver, Elizabeth Krumbach<br />
<br />
==== Items discussed ====<br />
<br />
* Dates requested: October 23-24, Saturday is fine, $$ for Sunday, Sameer looking into and will get back to us<br />
* Have an opening/welcome/introduction session Friday evening and/or Saturday morning<br />
* Other options for location: Space on main campus, issue may be transportation there since there are restricted transit options<br />
* Must have registration for head count regarding insurance, still need to hear about charging a fee (discuss token fee? donation?)<br />
* Come up with list of what we will need to pay for.<br />
* Name of the event: OLPC-SF Community Summit 2010<br />
* Goal: More of a "meetup" than a "meeting" - focused on Discussion (collaboration, issues, possible solutions) rather than Decision.<br />
* Do we want "facilitators" for rooms during sessions?<br />
* Find more volunteers for planning and organization.<br />

Our 2010 OLPC/Sugar/Realness Summit is an [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_SanFranciscoBayArea OLPC-SF] community event designed to foster collaboration amongst deployment teams in the SF Bay Area and those arriving from around the world. Almost 3 years after the introduction [http://wiki.laptop.org OLPC's XO] and the [http://sugarlabs.org Sugar Learning Platform], there has never been an opportunity for so many of our [http://realness.org volunteer movement's implementers], teachers, learning designers, software developers, and hardware experts to meet and learn from each other eye to eye!<br />

== Travel Scholarships ==<br />
<br />
Very partial travel scholarships may be possible for volunteers from outside North America especially. Please contact Adam Holt (holt @ laptop.org) if you can assist our movement's greatest volunteers -- or need partial assistance on your own plane fare!<br />
<br />
== Suggested Accommodations/Eateries ==<br />
<br />
1. While many attendees are staying with friendly volunteers around the Bay Area, the "Fort Mason Hostel" offers a great, affordable -- and historic -- location where several volunteers will be congregating. Bonus: they have Wifi!<br />
<br />
Private rooms are available for substantially less than regular SF hotels, and you might get lucky with views of the Golden Gate Bridge etc. This unique hostel is very close to Fisherman's Wharf, and details are here: http://www.sfhostels.com/fishermans-wharf/<br />
<br />
2. Another reasonably priced and solid hotel in North Beach (not far from the above Hostel) for cost-conscious visitors, is The San Remo Hotel: http://www.sanremohotel.com/san-remo-hotel-specials.php<br />
<br />
--<br />
<br />
FOOD: The SFGate.com web site has a great [http://www.sfgate.com/food/bargains/ "Bargain Bites" Food Section] listing interesting places to eat.<br />
<br />
== Getting to Know Each Other Around SF ==<br />
<br />
* The http://computerHistory.org Museum is in Mountain View, 30+ miles S. of SF<br />
<br />
[http://pflores2.com Pablo] and [http://identi.ca/tabitha Tabitha] arrive on 18 Oct (landing 11am and 11.45am) so have some site seeing days, would be keen to join others.<br />

<br />
==== Items discussed ====<br />
<br />
* Event space<br />
** SFSU Space is booked Sat Oct 23rd.<br />
** If we get the SF Soma Hub it will be very convenient, at Powell & 5th.<br />
** If not, the whole event could be at main campus.<br />
** Friday evening? not requested space yet. Suggestion of other places such as museum or library - more social. Or the Hub? Could be at SFSU Downtown. Have to check policies about food. Possibly pot-luck.<br />
* Website: www.olpcsf.org - placeholder now. Liz is working with Mike Lee (OLPC-DC Learning center) on art work for the site.<br />
* Accommodation: June will to host 1-2 people she knows from Realness. Carol also.<br />
* Concerns about liability: opens SFSU and us to lawsuits. Should not host a mechanism for strangers to find each other. Individuals who know others can of course invite them to stay. Can put a disclaimer on the website about finding places to stay - that is, that we are not facilitating that process.<br />
* Space: SFSU classrooms. Have asked for 4 rooms, one to be over-flow. Last time we had 35 people. In addition we have a lounge area. All classrooms technically equipped. Sameer will enquire about bringing in food and drink.<br />
* Program:<br />
**Sameer has a student organization to support logistics. Those possible presenters that we know, we can contact personally, and then if they are interested, pass along to Hilary for sorting details. E.g. Bruce B is working in Haiti on solar-power project.<br />
**Carol: new org founded by Swig, office in SF, creating solar for developing world. Should get them introduced to OLPC. Potential for speed-geek.<br />
**Hilary: who for Senegal project?<br />
**Sameer: will get contacts from the 2 SF HSs.<br />
**Other projects: S. Africa, Afghanistan, Philippines, Senegal, Madagascar, Nepal, Jamaica.<br />
*Schedule: last year sessions were 1.25hr - present for 20-30 min, then questions. Sessions ran concurrently and were not repeated. Most people stayed with the track they started with (education, technology, outreach).<br />
**Should all the deployments have their own speed-geek session? A lot depends on how many can be represented. A general session such as Carol did last year can include several deployments.<br />
**Sunday: people coming from bigger deployments, Sugar labs, OLPC.<br />
**What about the idea that Saturday is local and Sunday out-of-towners?<br />
***Could create an artifical divide. Have to think more about that question.<br />
**Out-of-town presenters: E.g. Bernie Innocenti from Sugar Labs can have a tech session. Richard Smith the hardware guy from OLPC.<br />
** Sameer: last year there were people willing to talk about their experience and their technology, but it was a lot of work to get the commitment. Not a good idea to put potential presenters on the wiki until they are confirmed.<br />
** Topic idea: how to deal with educational establishment. How to ensure laptops stay with students outside of school. What are effective strategies?<br />
* What about a Friday evening social event at the Hub?<br />
** June: Will check it out. Booked the space on Sunday 10:30-3, could not choose an earlier time. Will do an inventory re tables and chairs next week. It's going to cost $500. ($400 for 3 hours, $95/hr after that.) If there are no fees for anything else we will be happy to underwrite that. Okay to bring in food. Especially if paying by the hour for the room.<br />
*Target date for website end of August.<br />
*Last year the starting time was 9 and it didn't work, so better to do 10.<br />
*Money: Hilary and Sameer think that charging $50 is too much, will deter people even if there is a sliding scale, and that $10 is too little to be worth the hassle. Most likely the University would not approve. Registration is a good idea. It can be done thru eventbright or similar? Liz is checking that out.<br />

<br />
* Dates requested: October 23-24, Saturday is fine, $$ for Sunday, Sameer looking into and will get back to us<br />
* Have an opening/welcome/introduction session Friday evening and/or Saturday morning<br />

* Must have registration for head count regarding insurance, still need to hear about charging a fee (discuss token fee? donation?)<br />
* Come up with list of what we will need to pay for.<br />
* Name of the event: OLPC-SF Community Summit 2010<br />
* Goal: More of a "meetup" than a "meeting" - focused on Discussion (collaboration, issues, possible solutions) rather than Decision.<br />
* Do we want "facilitators" for rooms during sessions?<br />
* Find more volunteers for planning and organization.<br />

3. Objectives<br />
<br />
Project Objectives: (WEB-PUBLISHED)<br />
<br />
There is a critical need for means to teach all Zambian children to read in their original language that the educational system cannot meet. Lubuto libraries reach out-of-school children and can help them toward reading by read-aloud and storytelling programs, but tools for reading teaching in Zambian languages are not available. Youth who have been using the One Laptop Per Child XO laptops in Lubuto libraries and experienced Zambian reading teachers will together be trained in the OLPC application Etoys and create early reading programs in Zambian languages. The programs will then be made available on laptops in the libraries and via the Lubuto.org website to inspire creation of similar programs in other African countries and languages.<br />
<br />
Being able to approach learning to read in their native tongue will literally mean development of reading fluency for hundreds of thousands of out-of-school and vulnerable children and youth who do not have access to adequate reading education. The Zambian-language reading programs can be used in under equipped classrooms as well as in Lubuto and other libraries, and programs can be adapted to accommodate other African languages of similar structure (primarily Bantu languages), potentially bringing literacy to millions of children in Africa. It is also expected that programs to introduce reading in Zambian languages will inspire more advanced local language computer content as well as writing of children’s books in Zambian languages to advance fluency.<br />
<br />
There remains no question of the central importance of literacy in African development and the spread of literacy is considered necessary to achieving several of the Millennium Development Goals. Illiteracy in Africa has been shown to underpin extreme poverty, the spread of disease and the health and safety of girls and women, and endemic underdevelopment on the continent. The central importance of learning to read in one’s original language has been long understood, yet solutions that would make this universally possible have long eluded Zambian society. The potential social and economic benefits of this straightforward innovation, then, are profound. <br />
<br />
An additional, narrower benefit to the young Zambians who will develop programming and educational product design skills can be expected to not only benefit them but may set them on a course to develop more useful educational tools in Zambian languages.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
4. Plan of Action<br />
<br />
As of 26 March 2010, this project is funded. Lubuto Library Project won a grant of USD $30,000 from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation administered through eIFL, the Electronic Information for Libraries Public Library Innovation Program (based in Italy). The full roster of winners will be announced this month (April 2010) on their web site:<br />
http://plip.eifl.net/sections/services/plip/home <br />
<br />
Plan and Procedure for Achieving the Stated Objectives:<br />
<br />
Project work plan<br />
<br />
A Program Manager will safeguard staying on target with the program objectives and work plan and quality output; to carry out the financial management of the program and its on-time delivery. Duties of the Program Manager will include recruiting of project designers; liaison with Ngwerere School and Lubuto Library staff who will be trained in entering content into Etoys templates; engagement of the programming consultant and the evaluators from the Ministry of Education Curriculum Development Centre. The Program Manager reports to the President of the Lubuto Library Project and stays in communication with the Program Coordinator who is on the field every time a Program activity is running. A final financial and narrative report will be prepared by the Program Manager at the end of the program.<br />
<br />
All of the content will be developed using open-source software and will be made available on the www.Lubuto.org website for the public. A group of students in the Masters of Information Management Capstone Project, led by Assistant Professor Derek Hansen at the University of Maryland’s College of Information Studies is creating a mechanism through which the programs will be made accessible on the website. The system will be in place by May 2010. In addition to our website, Lubuto communicates about our innovations via YouTube, Flickr, Facebook, blogs and our email newsletter.<br />
<br />
5. Needs<br />
<br />
Why is this project needed? <br />
<br />
See above.<br />
<br />
Locally? <br />
<br />
The project is rooted in, and serves, the local communities of Zambia, initially in the capital city of Lusaka.<br />
<br />
In the greater OLPC/Sugar community? <br />
<br />
This project forges stronger ties between the Squeakland Foundation, Etoys Illinois, OLPC LC DC and Sugar Labs DC.<br />
<br />
Outside the community? <br />
<br />
Will serve as a showcase of the application of Etoys and XO laptops in Zambia.<br />
<br />
Why can't this project be done in emulation using non-XO machines? <br />
<br />
The libraries are in resource-constricted environments where the ruggedness and power efficiency of the OLPC XO laptop are very beneficial. The new ability to boot into GNOME will help adult educators use the laptops more efficiently as well.<br />
<br />
Why are you requesting the number of machines you are asking for?<br />
<br />
Six machines are required to serve the number of content developers needed to utput the number of Etoys modules proposed to Gates-eIFL.<br />
<br />
Will you consider (1) salvaged/rebuilt or (2) damaged XO Laptops? <br />
<br />
Rebuilt XO-1.5s are acceptable, but new machines are preferred as there will be minimal ability to effect repairs on damaged or unstable machines.<br />
<br />
<br />

3. Objectives<br />
<br />
Project Objectives: (WEB-PUBLISHED)<br />
<br />
There is a critical need for means to teach all Zambian children to read in their original language that the educational system cannot meet. Lubuto libraries reach out-of-school children and can help them toward reading by read-aloud and storytelling programs, but tools for reading teaching in Zambian languages are not available. Youth who have been using the One Laptop Per Child XO laptops in Lubuto libraries and experienced Zambian reading teachers will together be trained in the OLPC application Etoys and create early reading programs in Zambian languages. The programs will then be made available on laptops in the libraries and via the Lubuto.org website to inspire creation of similar programs in other African countries and languages.<br />
<br />
Being able to approach learning to read in their native tongue will literally mean development of reading fluency for hundreds of thousands of out-of-school and vulnerable children and youth who do not have access to adequate reading education. The Zambian-language reading programs can be used in under equipped classrooms as well as in Lubuto and other libraries, and programs can be adapted to accommodate other African languages of similar structure (primarily Bantu languages), potentially bringing literacy to millions of children in Africa. It is also expected that programs to introduce reading in Zambian languages will inspire more advanced local language computer content as well as writing of children’s books in Zambian languages to advance fluency.<br />
<br />
There remains no question of the central importance of literacy in African development and the spread of literacy is considered necessary to achieving several of the Millennium Development Goals. Illiteracy in Africa has been shown to underpin extreme poverty, the spread of disease and the health and safety of girls and women, and endemic underdevelopment on the continent. The central importance of learning to read in one’s original language has been long understood, yet solutions that would make this universally possible have long eluded Zambian society. The potential social and economic benefits of this straightforward innovation, then, are profound. <br />
<br />
An additional, narrower benefit to the young Zambians who will develop programming and educational product design skills can be expected to not only benefit them but may set them on a course to develop more useful educational tools in Zambian languages.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
4. Plan of Action<br />
<br />
As of 26 March 2010, this project is funded. Lubuto Library Project won a grant of USD $30,000 from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation administered through eIFL, the Electronic Information for Libraries Public Library Innovation Program (based in Italy). The full roster of winners will be announced this month (April 2010) on their web site:<br />
http://plip.eifl.net/sections/services/plip/home <br />
<br />
Plan and Procedure for Achieving the Stated Objectives:<br />
<br />
Project work plan<br />
<br />
A Program Manager will safeguard staying on target with the program objectives and work plan and quality output; to carry out the financial management of the program and its on-time delivery. Duties of the Program Manager will include recruiting of project designers; liaison with Ngwerere School and Lubuto Library staff who will be trained in entering content into Etoys templates; engagement of the programming consultant and the evaluators from the Ministry of Education Curriculum Development Centre. The Program Manager reports to the President of the Lubuto Library Project and stays in communication with the Program Coordinator who is on the field every time a Program activity is running. A final financial and narrative report will be prepared by the Program Manager at the end of the program.<br />
<br />
All of the content will be developed using open-source software and will be made available on the www.Lubuto.org website for the public. A group of students in the Masters of Information Management Capstone Project, led by Assistant Professor Derek Hansen at the University of Maryland’s College of Information Studies is creating a mechanism through which the programs will be made accessible on the website. The system will be in place by May 2010. In addition to our website, Lubuto communicates about our innovations via YouTube, Flickr, Facebook, blogs and our email newsletter.<br />
<br />
5. Needs<br />
<br />
Why is this project needed? <br />
<br />
See above.<br />
<br />
Locally? <br />
<br />
The project is rooted in, and serves, the local communities of Zambia, initially in the capital city of Lusaka.<br />
<br />
In the greater OLPC/Sugar community? <br />
<br />
This project forges stronger ties between the Squeakland Foundation, Etoys Illinois, OLPC LC DC and Sugar Labs DC.<br />
<br />
Outside the community? <br />
<br />
Will serve as a showcase of the application of Etoys and XO laptops in Zambia.<br />
<br />
Why can't this project be done in emulation using non-XO machines? <br />
<br />
The libraries are in resource-constricted environments where the ruggedness and power efficiency of the OLPC XO laptop are very beneficial. The new ability to boot into GNOME will help adult educators use the laptops more efficiently as well.<br />
<br />
Why are you requesting the number of machines you are asking for?<br />
<br />
Six machines are required to serve the number of content developers needed to utput the number of Etoys modules proposed to Gates-eIFL.<br />
<br />
Will you consider (1) salvaged/rebuilt or (2) damaged XO Laptops? <br />
<br />
Rebuilt XO-1.5s are acceptable, but new machines are preferred as there will be minimal ability to effect repairs on damaged or unstable machines.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
An additional, narrower benefit to the young Zambians who will develop programming and educational product design skills can be expected to not only benefit them but may set them on a course to develop more useful educational tools in Zambian languages.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
4. Plan of Action<br />
<br />
As of 26 March 2010, this project is funded. Lubuto Library Project won a grant of USD $30,000 from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation administered through eIFL, the Electronic Information for Libraries Public Library Innovation Program (based in Italy). The full roster of winners will be announced this month (April 2010) on their web site:<br />
http://plip.eifl.net/sections/services/plip/home <br />
<br />
Plan and Procedure for Achieving the Stated Objectives:<br />
<br />
Project work plan<br />
<br />
A Program Manager will safeguard staying on target with the program objectives and work plan and quality output; to carry out the financial management of the program and its on-time delivery. Duties of the Program Manager will include recruiting of project designers; liaison with Ngwerere School and Lubuto Library staff who will be trained in entering content into Etoys templates; engagement of the programming consultant and the evaluators from the Ministry of Education Curriculum Development Centre. The Program Manager reports to the President of the Lubuto Library Project and stays in communication with the Program Coordinator who is on the field every time a Program activity is running. A final financial and narrative report will be prepared by the Program Manager at the end of the program.<br />
<br />
All of the content will be developed using open-source software and will be made available on the www.Lubuto.org website for the public. A group of students in the Masters of Information Management Capstone Project, led by Assistant Professor Derek Hansen at the University of Maryland’s College of Information Studies is creating a mechanism through which the programs will be made accessible on the website. The system will be in place by May 2010. In addition to our website, Lubuto communicates about our innovations via YouTube, Flickr, Facebook, blogs and our email newsletter.<br />
<br />
5. Needs<br />
<br />
Why is this project needed? <br />
<br />
See above.<br />
<br />
Locally? <br />
<br />
The project is rooted in, and serves, the local communities of Zambia, initially in the capital city of Lusaka.<br />
<br />
In the greater OLPC/Sugar community? <br />
<br />
This project forges stronger ties between the Squeakland Foundation, Etoys Illinois, OLPC LC DC and Sugar Labs DC.<br />
<br />
Outside the community? <br />
<br />
Will serve as a showcase of the application of Etoys and XO laptops in Zambia.<br />
<br />
Why can't this project be done in emulation using non-XO machines? <br />
<br />
The libraries are in resource-constricted environments where the ruggedness and power efficiency of the OLPC XO laptop are very beneficial. The new ability to boot into GNOME will help adult educators use the laptops more efficiently as well.<br />
<br />
Why are you requesting the number of machines you are asking for?<br />
<br />
Six machines are required to serve the number of content developers needed to utput the number of Etoys modules proposed to Gates-eIFL.<br />
<br />
Will you consider (1) salvaged/rebuilt or (2) damaged XO Laptops? <br />
<br />
Rebuilt XO-1.5s are acceptable, but new machines are preferred as there will be minimal ability to effect repairs on damaged or unstable machines.<br />
<br />

3. Objectives<br />
<br />
Project Objectives: (WEB-PUBLISHED)<br />
<br />
There is a critical need for means to teach all Zambian children to read in their original language that the educational system cannot meet. Lubuto libraries reach out-of-school children and can help them toward reading by read-aloud and storytelling programs, but tools for reading teaching in Zambian languages are not available. Youth who have been using the One Laptop Per Child XO laptops in Lubuto libraries and experienced Zambian reading teachers will together be trained in the OLPC application Etoys and create early reading programs in Zambian languages. The programs will then be made available on laptops in the libraries and via the Lubuto.org website to inspire creation of similar programs in other African countries and languages.<br />
<br />
Being able to approach learning to read in their native tongue will literally mean development of reading fluency for hundreds of thousands of out-of-school and vulnerable children and youth who do not have access to adequate reading education. The Zambian-language reading programs can be used in under equipped classrooms as well as in Lubuto and other libraries, and programs can be adapted to accommodate other African languages of similar structure (primarily Bantu languages), potentially bringing literacy to millions of children in Africa. It is also expected that programs to introduce reading in Zambian languages will inspire more advanced local language computer content as well as writing of children’s books in Zambian languages to advance fluency.<br />
<br />
There remains no question of the central importance of literacy in African development and the spread of literacy is considered necessary to achieving several of the Millennium Development Goals. Illiteracy in Africa has been shown to underpin extreme poverty, the spread of disease and the health and safety of girls and women, and endemic underdevelopment on the continent. The central importance of learning to read in one’s original language has been long understood, yet solutions that would make this universally possible have long eluded Zambian society. The potential social and economic benefits of this straightforward innovation, then, are profound. <br />
<br />
An additional, narrower benefit to the young Zambians who will develop programming and educational product design skills can be expected to not only benefit them but may set them on a course to develop more useful educational tools in Zambian languages.<br />

<br />
== Project Tasks ==<br />
<br />
* Reuse as much of the existing HTML and Javascript as possible. Establish directory / file naming convention for the new pages. (Maybe http://www.laptop.org/xo-1.5/gettingstarted/ or http://www.laptop.org/10.2/gettingstarted/)<br />
* Code keywords into all the new pages for search engine friendliness.<br />
* Some of the text will need to be edited to reflect recent changes in the hardware and Sugar.<br />
* Many new screenshots will need to be made.<br />
* Some of the photo illustrations with callouts will need to be edited due to changes in Sugar or the laptop (e.g. expanded activity ring and new trackpad design).<br />
* Re-use as many of the original photos and screenshots as possible. Continue to link to and store image assets in http://www.laptop.org/img/<br />
* Outbound links need to be rechecked.<br />
* One or more new pages need to be written and illustrated to explain new features such as the control panel and Gnome Desktop.<br />
* Preserve old set of start pages ( http://www.laptop.org/7.1.0/gettingstarted/ ) and clearly label that they are for the XO-1. Link to these from the new XO-1.5 start page.<br />
* Add sidebar on new XO-1.5 pages to help people figure out which laptop/OS they have.<br />
* Create some inbound links from elsewhere on www.laptop.org and other user group sites.<br />
* Time permitting, all updated pages and illustrations to be collected into a downloadable PDF.<br />
<br />
== Site Navigation ==<br />
<br />
* Preserve global navigation, sub-navigation and footer<br />
* How to handle jump between pages for XO-1, XO-1.5, XO-1.75 (future)<br />
* How to navigate to alternate language versions<br />
<br />
== Image File Notes ==<br />
<br />
The images are a mix of GIF, PNG and JPEG. They all appear to be stored in <br />
<br />
http://www.laptop.org/img/<br />
<br />
Sizes of screen shots of activities embedded in the pages vary: 427x320, 426x320<br />
<br />
In some cases, we may want to locate the original hardware photo from the OLPC Flickr stream in order to composite in new Sugar screens <br />
<br />
http://www.flickr.com/photos/olpc<br />
<br />
<b>Agreed upon naming convention for sprint screenshots:</b> oldfilename-xo15.suffix<br />
<br />
== PDF document download ==<br />
<br />
The entire Getting Started collection of web pages is downloadable as a 103-page, 13mb PDF. Link text in the PDF is not clickable. The PDF is posted on Google Docs for viewing:<br />
<br />
http://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0BxZJ13aT6vDYODFkOGZjNWMtZjMwOS00NmJlLThlZTQtODdmYzllZjdiNTA1&hl=en<br />
<br />
The 56 mouseover captions are all broken out in one long stack in the document.<br />
<br />
If this PDF is recreated from the new Getting Started pages, the file size can be reduced by optimizing through Acrobat. Clickable links should be preserved. Page numbering should be added.<br />

== Project Tasks ==<br />
<br />
* Reuse as much of the existing HTML and Javascript as possible. Establish directory / file naming convention for the new pages. (Maybe http://www.laptop.org/xo-1.5/gettingstarted/ or http://www.laptop.org/10.2/gettingstarted/)<br />
* Code keywords into all the new pages for search engine friendliness.<br />
* Some of the text will need to be edited to reflect recent changes in the hardware and Sugar.<br />
* Many new screenshots will need to be made.<br />
* Some of the photo illustrations with callouts will need to be edited due to changes in Sugar or the laptop (e.g. expanded activity ring and new trackpad design).<br />
* Re-use as many of the original photos and screenshots as possible. Continue to link to and store image assets in http://www.laptop.org/img/<br />
* Outbound links need to be rechecked.<br />
* One or more new pages need to be written and illustrated to explain new features such as the control panel and Gnome Desktop.<br />
* Preserve old set of start pages ( http://www.laptop.org/7.1.0/gettingstarted/ ) and clearly label that they are for the XO-1. Link to these from the new XO-1.5 start page.<br />
* Add sidebar on new XO-1.5 pages to help people figure out which laptop/OS they have.<br />
* Create some inbound links from elsewhere on www.laptop.org and other user group sites.<br />
* Time permitting, all updated pages and illustrations to be collected into a downloadable PDF.<br />
<br />
== Site Navigation ==<br />
<br />
* Preserve global navigation, sub-navigation and footer<br />
* How to handle jump between pages for XO-1, XO-1.5, XO-1.75 (future)<br />
* How to navigate to alternate language versions<br />
<br />
== Image File Notes ==<br />
<br />
The images are a mix of GIF, PNG and JPEG. They all appear to be stored in <br />
<br />
http://www.laptop.org/img/<br />
<br />
Sizes of screen shots of activities embedded in the pages vary: 427x320, 426x320<br />
<br />
In some cases, we may want to locate the original hardware photo from the OLPC Flickr stream in order to composite in new Sugar screens <br />

== Project Tasks ==<br />
<br />
* Reuse as much of the existing HTML and Javascript as possible. Establish directory / file naming convention for the new pages. (Maybe http://www.laptop.org/xo-1.5/gettingstarted/ or http://www.laptop.org/10.2/gettingstarted/)<br />
* Code keywords into all the new pages for search engine friendliness.<br />
* Some of the text will need to be edited to reflect recent changes in the hardware and Sugar.<br />
* Many new screenshots will need to be made.<br />
* Some of the photo illustrations with callouts will need to be edited due to changes in Sugar or the laptop (e.g. expanded activity ring and new trackpad design).<br />
* Re-use as many of the original photos and screenshots as possible. Continue to link to and store image assets in http://www.laptop.org/img/<br />
* Outbound links need to be rechecked.<br />
* One or more new pages need to be written and illustrated to explain new features such as the control panel and Gnome Desktop.<br />
* Preserve old set of start pages ( http://www.laptop.org/7.1.0/gettingstarted/ ) and clearly label that they are for the XO-1. Link to these from the new XO-1.5 start page.<br />
* Add sidebar on new XO-1.5 pages to help people figure out which laptop/OS they have.<br />
* Create some inbound links from elsewhere on www.laptop.org and other user group sites.<br />
* Time permitting, all updated pages and illustrations to be collected into a downloadable PDF.<br />
<br />
== Site Navigation ==<br />
<br />
* Preserve global navigation, sub-navigation and footer<br />
* How to handle jump between pages for XO-1, XO-1.5, XO-1.75 (future)<br />
* How to navigate to alternate language versions<br />
<br />
== Image File Notes ==<br />
<br />
The images are a mix of GIF, PNG and JPEG. They all appear to be stored in <br />
<br />
http://www.laptop.org/img/<br />
<br />
Sizes of screen shots of activities embedded in the pages vary: 427x320, 426x320<br />
<br />
In some cases, we may want to locate the original hardware photo from the OLPC Flickr stream in order to composite in new Sugar screens <br />
