1. Marvin Minksy has been writing a series of essays on learning. The first three essays are available on the wiki (See [[Marvin Minsky essays]]). The themes to date include "What makes Mathematics hard to learn?", "Drawbacks of Age-Based Segregation", "What’s wrong with the 50-minute hour", "Role Models, Mentors, and Imprimers and Thinking", "Thinking about Thinking about Ways to Think", "How do children acquire self-images?", and "Finding Mentors in Network Communities."

1. Marvin Minskyは学習についてシリーズ物エッセイを書いています。彼が書いた最初三つのエッセイはwikiで読むことができます ( [[Marvin Minsky essays]] をご覧下さい)。エッセイのテーマは"What makes Mathematics hard to learn?"、 "Drawbacks of Age-Based Segregation"、 "What’s wrong with the 50-minute hour"、 "Role Models, Mentors, and Imprimers and Thinking"、 "Thinking about Thinking about Ways to Think"、 "How do children acquire self-images?"、 そして "Finding Mentors in Network Communities." などが揃っています。
The lead paragraph says it all: "Doubts about whether poor, rural
children really can benefit from quirky little computers evaporate as
quickly as the morning dew in this hilltop Andean village, where 50
primary school children got machines from the One Laptop Per Child
project six months ago."

4. Hot topics: This week saw debates on some of the OLPC mailing lists and in the wiki. A paper called "Freezing More Than Bits: Chilling Effects of the OLPC XO Security Model" will be presented on Monday at USENIX UPSEC'08 ([http://www.usenix.org/events/upsec08/tech/tech.html]). You can read the paper ([http://www.cosic.esat.kuleuven.be/publications/article-1042.pdf]) and view the discussion to date on in the archives of the OLPC security list ([http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/security/2008-April/000388.html]). Another discussion has been in regard to build and release strategy (See [http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-April/012318.html] and [[User:Mstone/August planning]]). Michael Stone has documented a conversation that he, Jameson Chema Quinn, Chris Ball, and Robert McQueen had about the UI problems posed by our current bundle format (See [[User:Mstone/Bundle commentary]] and [[Bundles and updates]]). And finally the new Sugar interface was the topic of discussion in the sugar list (See [http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/sugar/2008-April/004909.html]). In the wiki, Chris Leonard and Charles Merriam have been working on some naming conventions to make it easier to navigate the almost 6000 content pages in the wiki (See [[Conventions]]).

6. JS-Python Communication: K.S. Preeti has been working with Manusheel Gupta, Dan Bricklin, and Luke Closs to enable JS-Python communication using PyXPCOM. They have been successful in creating an XPCOM service in JavaScript that exposes the JS code to the Browser; and an XPCOM service in Python that exposes the Python code to the Browser. The aim for this week would be to synchronously call both these services from the same interface that will lead to communication between functions written in JS, and Python. The details on the implementation of XPCOM service have been updated (See [[JSPython]]). SocialCalc (Spreadsheet activity), written in JavaSript, will be ported to Sugar using this mechanism.

His goal is to provide a simple system for turning any Windows program into a Sugar activity. This is still a work in progress: in order for it to run, you must first add 'org.winehq.WineConsole' to the list of RAINBOW_CONSTANT_UID activities in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sugar/activity/activityfactory.py and it doesn't yet "play well with others."

manifestation of that was the loss of AC events or battery-charge
level. Richard still don't know the root cause of the corruption, but
has a good test case and kernel debug logs. There appears to be a case
where EC communication fails and error recover is not working. Fixing
it is going to involve more oscilloscope time, because turning on
serial- port debugging appears to make the problem go away. There is
already a workaround in the kernel to fix the mask when it becomes
corrupted, so it's not a show-stopper.

what's causing it and how we can workaround it in the kernel. Bernie
has built an experimental kernel with a candidate fix and is eager to
receive feedback from some of the jumpy mouse victims to see if our

15. Updates and builds: Scott Ananian gave olpc-update the ability to
upgrade from a USB key (Ticket #3881) (See
[[Olpc-update]]); olpc-update also now warns you
if you try to upgrade to a joyride build without a developer key
(Ticket #5309) and is more efficient if it is interrupted in the
middle of an update. OFW will now upgrade you to the latest firmware
even if you have a developer key (Ticket #5371); ntpdate is run on the
XOs when we get network connectivity (Ticket #3359); rtcwake is in the
build to enable timed wakeups from suspend (Tickets #5434 and #5435);
our builds now use sudo to get root—there has been some discussion of
configuring su instead (Ticekt #5537).

Dennis Gilmore has been working on builds and some tools to help make
them faster to turn around; he has also been tagging packages for
Update.1.

16. View source: The view-source key now works in Chat, Web, Pippy,
and any activities generated by Pippy (Tickets #4909, #5541, #5542).
Next up for Scott: Terminal (Ticket #5543), Gmail (Ticket #5544), and
Clock (Ticket #5545). Any application that can reasonable be written
as a single python source file is a good candidate for Pippy-ization,
which lets children view and customize the activity. This will
undoubtedly stress our handling of activity bundles in the Journal,
which arguably is a good spur in the side!

17. Wireless driver: Dave Woodhouse worked again on the libertas
wireless driver, a certain amount of sleeping and some frustration
that although he's fixed most of the known bugs in the driver, people
are still using some ancient kernel in their OS builds which is
entirely useless for testing purposes.

18. Etoys: Bert Freudenberg spent the first half of week in Kathmandu.
He observed and helped the very active OLPC and Etoys communities in
Nepal (See [http://nepal.ole.org/home/?q=node/107]). Yoshiki Ohshima continued on fixing bugs on trac. These patches
will show up in the Update.1 stream at some point. Yoshiki also is
working on the packaging for non-OLPC environment. Takashi Yamamiya
started prototyping a simple presentation tool. Ted Kaehler and
Korakurider are looking at the translation of QuickGuide contents.
Scott Wallace and Yoshiki worked together to provide a better way to
report runtime errors.

19. Scratch: Brian Silverman (by phone), John Maloney,and Mitchel
Resnick came by the OLPC office this week to demonstrate Scratch
running on an XO (See [http://scratch.mit.edu/]). While it hasn't been
wholy "Sugarized" yet, it is already quite usable. John will be
posting a bundle on the wiki for those who'd like to explore it (and
provide feedback) at this stage.

20. Open hardware management: Chris Ball is working on a particularly
entrenched yet subtle bug in OHM's timing code at the moment.
(Richard Hughes confirms that he's been seeing it on non-OLPC
platforms too, all the way back to the beginning of OHM.)

21. Presence/sharing: Morgan Collett helped with testing the
sugar-shell-consumes-all-memory issue (Ticket #5532). (Thanks to
Sjoerd Simons for providing the avahi invocations to fake buddies on
the mesh.) Morgan helped some community people with Jabber questions
on the forums. There has been confusion about why the
ship2.jabber.laptop.org server doesn't work: Robert McQueen spoke with
people on IRC who were interested in trying ejabberd and helping us
work out why it was failing so badly. (There is now a server at
xochat.org that can be used instead of the default at
ship2.jabber.laptop.org. See the Sugar control panel page in the wiki
for instructions on how to configure your Jabber server.) Robert has
updated the Ejabberd configuration pages on the wiki with some updated
patches and clearer instructions.

Dafydd Harries spent most of the week trying to set up OpenFire on
jabber.laptop.org. He managed to export the user database from
Ejabberd and import it to OpenFire, but laptops don't seem to be able
to connect to the server successfully. He'll be investigating why this
is the case and suspect some sort of problem with our client code.
OpenFire developers have been keen to help, however.

Morgan looked into the HippoCanvas bug (Ticket #2351) that is
affecting scrolling of multiline Chat messages; he hasn't found a fix
for it yet. XO users who are annoyed with this bug have resorted to
sharing Write as a primitive chat tool instead.

Morgan also cleaned up some wiki documentation referring to Tubes and
Presence Service; while more documentation is needed, most of the
existing documentation was out of date (predating Salut for instance).

All the bits for Chat copying URLs to the clipboard (Ticket #5080) to
launch in Browse finally landed and work fine, although now it seems
we may be able to do it more directly after all with the Rainbow work
done to address Ticket #4909.

And Morgan has been working on the unreliability of buddy icons
clustering around their shared activity (Ticket #5368); it is still
unclear whether the best place to make a fix is in Sugar or Presence
Service. The problem arises when CurrentActivityChanged occurs before
ActivitiesChanged, so the buddy icon moves before the activity is
known about.

Sjoerd Simons investigated why avahi under some circumstances marks
records as failed a bit too easily, causing the "contacts flashing"
bug. He discovered that the passive-observation-of-failures
implementation was a bit too sensitive and created a patch to make it
less sensitive. The patch needs further testing in a crowded RF
environment like the OLPC headquarters to see if it solves the issue.

Guillaume Desmottes continue to investigate the stream-tubes problem
with Rainbow. The Telepathy side should be fixed in Update.1. He start
to implement/design peer-to-peer connections for stream tubes in
Gabble (Ticket #4047) and improved Gabble-tubes test coverage.

22. Sugar: Reinier Heeres worked on fixing a Read sharing issue
(Ticket #5365), a Calculate internationalization issue (Ticket #5319)
and adding ellipsis to long texts in palettes (Ticket #4562). He also
wrote a simple script to copy a regular file to the datastore/journal
that got extended with quite a bit more functionality by Phil
Bordelon. He tested previous fixes in Joyride and Update-1 and tried
to understand the memory leaks the sugar shell was showing.

Simon Schampijer focused on the browser, testing and implemented a
"solution" for the browser permission issue described here (See
[[Concurrent activity instances]]). Actually we
don't think anymore that copying the profile around is a good thing to
do; we think we should run the browser outside the container for
Update.1 (Ticket #5489). Michael Stone send an email to the mozilla
devs to start discussion with them about a long term solution.

23. Trac: Noah Kantrowitz visited Friday and helped improve our trac
system, adding bug dependencies and sketching out better workflow
features that can now be implemented in it. He also made some great
suggestions for the Support/Help pages.

24. Documentation: Mako Hill and SJ Klein packaged together a new
version of the Getting Started Guide for inclusion in the library on
the laptop itself. (Walter Bender wrote a new stylesheet to fit the
pages in the XO.)

ラップトップ ニュース 2008-04-12

1. Marvin Minksy has been writing a series of essays on learning. The first three essays are available on the wiki (See Marvin Minsky essays). The themes to date include "What makes Mathematics hard to learn?", "Drawbacks of Age-Based Segregation", "What’s wrong with the 50-minute hour", "Role Models, Mentors, and Imprimers and Thinking", "Thinking about Thinking about Ways to Think", "How do children acquire self-images?", and "Finding Mentors in Network Communities."

1. Marvin Minskyは学習についてシリーズ物エッセイを書いています。彼が書いた最初三つのエッセイはwikiで読むことができます ( Marvin Minsky essays をご覧下さい)。エッセイのテーマは"What makes Mathematics hard to learn?"、 "Drawbacks of Age-Based Segregation"、 "What’s wrong with the 50-minute hour"、 "Role Models, Mentors, and Imprimers and Thinking"、 "Thinking about Thinking about Ways to Think"、 "How do children acquire self-images?"、 そして "Finding Mentors in Network Communities." などが揃っています。

2. OLE Nepal have posted their teacher preparation materials to the wiki. The materials cover basic use of the XO, constructionist theory and practice, and using the XO to facilitate the learning process. Bipul Gautam created the 63-page teacher Preparation guide, which is entirely in Nepali. Prabhas Pokharel has agreed to organize a group of Nepali Harvard students to translate it into English (See Nepal: Teacher Preparation).

2. OLEネパールはwikiに'teacher preparation materials'(教師予習教材)を提出しました。教材はXOのベーシックな使用法、構成主義理論と活用法、XOを使い学習をやさしくするプロセスの説明などがあります。Bipul Gautamは63ページになる'teacher preparation guide'(教師予習ガイド)を書き、それは全てネパール語で仕上げられています。Probhas Pokharelはハーバードのネパール人学生によってそれを英語へ翻訳する作業の組織に同意しました (Nepal: Teacher Preparation をご覧下さい)。

3. Bryan Berry has created a basic training program for support personnel that are familiar with computers, but new to the XO hardware and Linux (See Nepal: Support Training). Teachers Manoj Ghimire of Bishwamitra and Neema Lama of Bashuki were the first trainees to use these materials.

3. Bryan BerryはコンピュータになれているがXOハードウェアとLinuxになれていないサポート員達が使用するベーシック・トレーニング・プログラムを作りました ( Nepal: Support Training をご覧下さい)。初めてこの教材を使いトレーニングを受けた先生はBishwamitraのManoj GhimireとNeema LamaのBashukiでした。

4. Hot topics: This week saw debates on some of the OLPC mailing lists and in the wiki. A paper called "Freezing More Than Bits: Chilling Effects of the OLPC XO Security Model" will be presented on Monday at USENIX UPSEC'08 ([1]). You can read the paper ([2]) and view the discussion to date on in the archives of the OLPC security list ([3]). Another discussion has been in regard to build and release strategy (See [4] and User:Mstone/August planning). Michael Stone has documented a conversation that he, Jameson Chema Quinn, Chris Ball, and Robert McQueen had about the UI problems posed by our current bundle format (See User:Mstone/Bundle commentary and Bundles and updates). And finally the new Sugar interface was the topic of discussion in the sugar list (See [5]). In the wiki, Chris Leonard and Charles Merriam have been working on some naming conventions to make it easier to navigate the almost 6000 content pages in the wiki (See Conventions).

4. Hot topics (ホット・トピック): 今週のOLPCメーリングリストとwikiでは数々の討論がありました。USENIX UPSEC'08で"Freezing More Than Bits: Chilling Effects of the OLPC XO Security Model"と言う論文が公開されました。この論文は([6])で読むことができ、この内容について今までにされた討論はOLPCセキュリティ・リスト ([7]) で見ることができます。次の討論の内容はビルドとリリース・ストラテジーについてです (詳しい内容は [8]User:Mstone/August planning をご覧下さい)。Michael Stoneは彼とJameson Chema Quinn、Chris Ball、Robert McQuenn達が話し合ったカレントのバンドル・フォーマットに関するUI問題を文書として纏めました (詳しくは User:Mstone/Bundle commentary Bundles and updates をご覧下さい)。そして最後に新Sugarインターフェースについての討論がSugarリストの特大トピックでした ( [9] をご覧下さい)。 Wikiに関してはChris LeonardとCharles Merriamが6000ページ以上にもなるwiki内容のナビゲートを容易くするための'naming convention'で作業をしました ( Conventions をご覧下さい)。

5. Where did all the activities go? There still seems to be some confusion around the process of loading activity bundles post-Build 703. Please refer to Customization key for instructions regarding bulk loading of activities.

5. アクティビティ達はどこへ行ったのでしょうか? 未だにBuild 703後のアクティビティ・バンドルの正しいロード・プロセスに付いてある程度の誤解があるようです。アクティビティの大量ロードに関する正しい手順は Customization key をご覧下さい。

6. JS-Python Communication: K.S. Preeti has been working with Manusheel Gupta, Dan Bricklin, and Luke Closs to enable JS-Python communication using PyXPCOM. They have been successful in creating an XPCOM service in JavaScript that exposes the JS code to the Browser; and an XPCOM service in Python that exposes the Python code to the Browser. The aim for this week would be to synchronously call both these services from the same interface that will lead to communication between functions written in JS, and Python. The details on the implementation of XPCOM service have been updated (See JSPython). SocialCalc (Spreadsheet activity), written in JavaSript, will be ported to Sugar using this mechanism.

6. JS-Python Communication: K.S. PreetiはManusheel Gupta、Dan Bricklin、Luke Closs達と共にPyXPCOMを使ったJS-Python communicationを可能にする作業に取り込みました。彼らはBrowserにJSコードをさらすJavaScriptで書いたXPCOMサービス作成に成功、さらにBrowserにPythonコードをさらすPythonで書かれたXPCOMサービスでも成功しました。今週の目標は両方のサービスを同じインターフェースから同期的にコールしてJSとPythonで書かれた関数の間でのコミュニケーションへ導くことです。XPCOMサービス実装に関する詳細はアップデートされました (詳しくは JSPython をご覧下さい)。Javascriptで書かれたSocialCalc (Spreadsheetアクティビティ)はこのメカニズムを通してSugarにポートされます。

7. Educational Toolkit: Manusheel Gupta has been working with Deepank Gupta, Ross Light, and David Goulet to develop an Educational Toolkit. Use-case diagrams, and XML schema have been updated (See Educational toolkit). The implementation of Parse Module, supporting decoding of XML files; Viewer Module; and ConnectionManager module are in progress (See [10]).

7. Educational Toolkit (教育用ツールキット): Manusheel GuptaはDeepank Gupta、Ross Light、David Goulet達と共に教育用ツールキット作成に取り込んでいます。Use-case diagramsとXML schemaがアップデートされました (詳しくは Educational toolkit をご覧下さい)。Parse Module、XMLファイルのデコードをサポートする; Viewer Module; そして ConnectionManager moduleの実装はまだ進んでいます ( [11] をご覧下さい)。

8. More magic from Benjamin M. Schwartz: Ben has made a DOS Console activity based on Wine (See [12]). His goal is to provide a simple system for turning any Windows program into a Sugar activity. This is still a work in progress: in order for it to run, you must first add 'org.winehq.WineConsole' to the list of RAINBOW_CONSTANT_UID activities in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sugar/activity/activityfactory.py and it doesn't yet "play well with others." However, Chris Ball used already used it to installed the free-download Excel viewer (See [13]).

8. More magic from Benjamin M. Schwartz: BenはWineをベースにしたDOSコンソールを作成しました ( [14] をご覧下さい)。彼の目標はあらゆるWindowsプログラムをSugarアクティビティに変えるシンプルなシステムを作ることです。これはまだ未完成です: 起動されるには、まず最初に'org.winehq.WineConsole'を/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sugar/activity/activityfactory.pyにあるRAINBOW_CONSTANT_UIDのリストに加えまが、まだ他の物とはよく動かない様です。しかしながら、Chris Ballはこれを使いフリーダウンロードできるExcel viewerをインストールしました ( [15] をご覧下さい)。

9. David Hodge reports that ACM and Free Culture USC have partnered up for an upcoming "Code for a Cause" programming event next week at USC. The focus will be on open-source software and the OLPC platform. Student teams will be challenged over a week-long period to develop open-source software for the OLPC platform (See [16]).

9. David HodgeのレポートのよるとACMとFree Culture USCは来週USCで開かれる"Code for a Cause"プログラミング・イベントのためにパートナーシップを組みました。オープンソース・ソフトウェアとOLPCプラットフォームにフォーカスを置きます。学生チームは1週間に及びOLPCプラットフォーム用オープンソース・ソフトウェアを開発するチャレンジを受けます (詳しくは [17] をご覧下さい)。

10. Kurt Gramlich would like the OLPC community know about the latest LiveCD release (See LiveBackup XO-LiveCD). Aaron Kaplan talks about his port of Sugar to the Intel Classmate ([18]) using the LiveCD. Additional information is available (in German) on linux-user.com (See [19]).

10. Kurt GramlichはOLPCコミュニティに最新のLiveCDがリリースされたと伝えています。 (詳しくは LiveBackup XO-LiveCD をご覧下さい)。Aaron Kaplanは彼がポートしたLiveCDを通してインストールするIntel Classmate用Sugarに付いて次の所 ([20] ) で語っています。追加の情報はlinux-user.com (ドイツ語)を尋ねてください (詳しくは [21] をご覧下さい)。

11. Scott Ananian sends his thanks to everyone who participated in last week's mini conference and requests that you upload your slides to the wiki (Mini-conference). If anyone would like to volunteer to help with transcoding of the video archive of the conferenc, please contact Scott at laptop.org.

11. Scott Ananianは先週のミニカンファレンスに参加していただいた皆様に感謝しており、出きるならwikiにスライドをアップロードして欲しいと願っています (Mini-conference)。もしビデオ・アーカイブのトランスコードでお手伝いができるボランティア が居ればScott at laptop.orgまで連絡を取ってください。

12. Kevin Cole reports that the OLPC Learning Club DC (OLPC LCDC) held their second "Family Mesh" meetings at Gallaudet University in NW Washington, DC (See [22]).

12. Kevin Coleの報告では'OLPC Learning Club DC (OLPC LCDC)'は二回目の"Family Mesh"会議をNW Washington DCにあるGallaudet Universityで行いました (詳しくは [23] をご覧下さい)。

13. Richard Smith and SJ Klein will present the XO laptop and alternative power systems at two workshops at the Massachusetts Power Shift 2008 (MAPS) conference.

13. Richard SmithとSJ Kleinは'Massachusetts Power Shift 2008 (MAPS)'カンファレンスの二つのワークショップでXOラップトップと代替パワーシステムを紹介します。

14. Prakhar Agarwal reports progress on the typing tutor activity (See LetsType#Progress so far) and is soliciting feedback.

14. Prakhar Agarwalが報告するには'typing tutor'アクティビティの作業は進んでおり、ただ今フィードバックを求めています (詳しい内容は LetsType#Progress so far をご覧下さい)。

16. Polychronis Ypodimatopoulos has been conducting more tests with Cerebro. File transfer and chat work consistently on a 30-node testbed. (Chris Ball modified the Chat activity; we now have a version that works with Cerebro and we are in the process of creating a build where Chat and Read will be using Cerebro. This build will be tested on the 100-node testbed to investigate the limits of simple mesh.)

16. Polychronis YpodimatopoulosはさらにCerebroでテストを続けています。ファイル転送とチャットは30ノードテストベッドでなにも異常なく作動しています。(Chris Ballはチャットアクティビティを改良しました; 現在Cerebroと一緒に動くバージョンは存在しており、ChatとReadがCerebroを利用するビルドを作成している最中です。このビルドは100ノードテストベッドでテストされ'simple'メッシュの限界を調査します。)
