=== xoxo ===
this is v ''-5'' of the daily xoxo textfile; to soon become a daily occurrence.
please leave your own contributions on the [[User talk:Sj/xoxo|talk page]], or [[User talk:Sj|leave me a message]]

=== 1CC ===
There are many new faces in Cambridge, and now a pretty steady off-hours crew which includes Bernie
(who is addicted to videogame music remixes), Joshua Gay (FSF campaign manager, [http://freetextbookproject textbook activist], stet demon)
Bernie has recently come to Cambridge to work from the office, and has introduced video game music
remixes to our jukebox queue.

=== free texts ===
Joel Thierstein from Connexions and Jessamyn West visited on Friday; good conversations were had
around texts and modular materials. [http://www.cnx.org CNX] has some interesting new Physics modules - checking to
see if [http://www.fhsst.org FHSST] has time to integrate with their own work; they've gotten involved with
[http://www.curriki.org Curriki], so the project is certainly alive. Ben Crowell has an excellent set of
[http://www.lightandmatter.com/area1.html "light and matter"] physics texts up as well, which mesh nicely
with the [http://wikieducator.org wikieducator] philosophy.

We are talking about a space to list status and qualities of existing free and collaborative
text projects - perhaps a rebirth of freetextbookproject itself. Advocates needed for travel
in publishing and creative circles.

=== free culture ===
a Free Culture Cambridge is starting an open space for collaboration, creation, and contribution to open
content projects. We're starting weekly gatherings Mondays, at a place to be determined soon; if you
are interested in joining, send a note to sj@laptop. Early initiatives will include getting OurStories
off the ground, developing swag and materials about free culture spaces and OLPC, and launching searches
for suitable spaces in 6 countries.

== Saturday ==
is extremely cloudy! Ryan Trinkle is working on a reference implementation of message passing that
could serve as support for a distributed filestore, or a way to exchange queues of requests and
responses (for searches for texts, posts to offline fora or wikis, or apps such as [http://www.lamadon.com/olpc/ meshboard])

== todos ==
Starting a generic [[community todos|community todo list]]. Please contribute community efforts that you do
each day, or would see done; or things that need doing (like welcoming new users, reviewing RC, blogging).
In the spirit of the [http://planet.laptop.org OLPC planet], there are some blogs starting [[User:Jgay/Thoughts|on this wiki]].
== wiki and activities ==
Wiki gardening: [[User:Lauren|Lauren]] has been adding metadata on the wiki about [[activities]] and
other projects. If you maintain a project or package, or are working on interface or other designs,
please add a page about your work, and a small infobox with source and author information.

Userpages: It is also good to set up a userpage describing who you are and what you do. If you have
an XO, you might take a photo with your camera and upload it. Example wikipages: [[User:Xavi]],
[[User:Php5]], [[User:Lauren]]

=== Game Jam ===
Games : the Olin [[Game Jam]] is coming up. A parallel Jam is planned for [[Game Jam Brazil|Brazil]] in a few months.

=== xo thoughts ===
Format: future editions encoded as [http://microformats.org/wiki/xoxo-sample-code outlines]? Hat tip to Tantek.

=== International ===
The [[OLPC Korea|Korean]] pages on the wiki continue to grow, many of need translation into other languages.
(see [[Special:Newpages]] for more.) [[OLPC Nepal]] is still looking for summer volunteers...
XOs are being used by the youth delegation at the [[J8 Summit]].

=== Library ===
People working on development projects working on works, activities, and media for the laptops - most people
with XOs and others - should [[Talk:Activities|register]]. We're working on providing better community support
for these efforts.

=== notifications ===
Are there parts of the project you'd like to be notified about? Specific applications or events you are
following? Suggest a topic to cover, and we will include regular notifications as updates come in. Not
quite the same as automatic rss-feed alerts, but close.

=== summer blog ===
We're setting up a summer blog for the interns and other new faces around the office this summer; also
for others working on and with OLPC around the world. keep your eyes peeled for an update soon.

Message passing, distributed filestore

=== wiki updates ===
MediaWiki updated; extensions - the wiki has been updated to MediaWiki 1.10. Most modern extensions will
now work with just a little effort; leave extension requests on [[Talk:Wiki]]. If you have an OLPC portal
or intro page on your site, or want to set one up, leave a link or note on [[

=== volunteer projects ===
Volunteers are wanted for OLPC-related projects in Cambridge, in Nepal (see [[OLPC Nepal]]), and elsewhere.
If you have tasks that need to be done for your OLPC-related project, are interested in mentoring someone
for such a project, or are interested in volunteering yourself, see the [[request board]] and add yourself
or the project or other offer.

=== wiki community links ===
Links to related wiki communities, and pages about OLPC there / linked to from here are [[Talk:wiki|welcome]].
Please write in about links you want to see in our [[metaWikipedia:interwiki map|interwiki map]].

=== wiki ===
You can now upload .svg files. And there's a new empty [[OLPC Art Gallery]]. So you can share your icons
and other work.
Extensions: the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ParserFunctions Parser Functions] have been enabled. Please, handle with care.

=== development tools ===
Display: 1200x900 isn't currently supported by non-cvs [[QEMU]]. [[Emulating the XO/Help and tips]] has a recipe to
get it using Xephyr.
Wondering what your activity looks like under different lighting conditions? There's a new python script
which takes screenshots and shows you, sort of. But you usually don't need to worry about it.

=== art ===
Just a reminder: the [[Munsell]] page has a palette with colors of common luminance.
But it's small, so we are looking for a better palette.

=== sugar ===
Things can now be saved to the journal. And activities downloaded to the journal and run. Try it out...
=== collage ===
There is a new [[Sophie]] activity to test out - a collage activity based on a sibling of Squeak.
This is a port of a long-standing project from the Institute of the Future of the Book - please explore
and test; also the new [[EduKT]] activity, newly minted with rough edges. A related [http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/sugar/2007-June/002685.html thread] touches on Etoys.

=== cartoon building ===
[[Avallain]] is halfway done with a cartoon builder, that lets you load a library of comic assets
and put together a strip with balloon text. The comic developer Teshkeel is donating some
character art to the project.

9 IPs were [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=block}} blocked] during the past week. All indicates that they are bots. We should expect a new
round of these kind of editions after the previous 2 week banning period is ending, so we should consider
an ''upgrading'' the blocking period to 3 months (hopefully after that time some of the zombie machines
will have been reformatted).

=== xoxo #1 ===
Welcome to the first edition of xoxo, a regular textfile of exciting things happening around the OLPC
projects, with summaries of the various community fora. We are currently looking for editors and
summarizers (specifically for mailing lists and blogs). Anyone is welcome to contribute by posting
new items to these talk pages.

=== bug tracking and fixing ===
Please note any bugs or enhancements or feature requests in trac: dev.laptop.org . Anyone is welcome to
make an account there and file bugs or ideas.
New wiki template {{tl|ticket}} allowing a short way to reference tickets: {{ticket|1}}.

=== game and curriculum jams ===
[[User:mchua|mchua]] has been working on plans for [[Game Jams|game]] and other [[Curriculum Jams|content jams]]
this fall in a number of cities. Current jams being planned based on where there are interested organizers
(Manila, New York, Sao Paulo), feedback or new cities welcome.

=== laptop map ===
name.com has been thinking about how to visualize OLPC data and machines, and how to help laptop communities.
they've made a google mashup, which can be installed on this wiki via a mediawiki extension : laptop.name.org

=== [[OBX proposals]] ===
After an [[IRC]] chat, some proposals were added. The idea is that each box categorizes on orthogonal
axis, on one side users can tag themselves as ''Artists'' (a category) with a specialty (say ''Artists
icons'' &mdash; another category) and then on the 'consumer' side, activities (or whatever) could tag as
''Needing/Wanting icon''. The categories would have cross-links allowing us to better match things.
The idea is to expand to other domains.

=== [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent Changes]] ===
This is an experimental report on the [[Special:Recentchanges]] for the week ending July 8.
Suggestions (and scripting help) are welcome: contact [[User:Xavi|Xavi]].

should consider an upgrading the blocking period to 3 months (hopefully after that time some of
the zombie machines will have been reformatted).
We did have some patterns that may allow some kind of smarter blocking:
200.83.4.3 / 200.83.4.4 / 200.83.4.5 / 200.83.4.6
203.162.27.90 / 203.162.27.93
3 pages were [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=protected}} protected] &mdash; basically dealing with [[Point-of-view gun]] used to try to stop editions in

there are opportunities to help clean up the wiki! beefing up the [[style guide]],
improving [[special:recentchanges]] and other system messages (eg [[MediaWiki:Noarticletext]]),
revisiting categorization, and integrating sister wikis (olpcaustria, wikieducator).
come by #olpc-content and talk with [[User:MitchellNCharity|mitchellncharity]], [[User:mchua|mchua]], [[User:xavi|xavi]], and [[User:sj|sj]].
advice, and comments in general, are welcome.

wiki blocking: you can block IP ranges with, e.g.,
200.83.4.6/28 (to mask the last 32-28 = 4 bits, so you block 16 addresses) or
203.162.27.90/30 (to mask 32-30=2 bits, blocking 2 addresses)
please be '''very careful''' blocking ranges or IPs for that matter, particularly given
nature of dynamic IPs; don't block ranges for nearly as long as you would a single user,
and try to avoid any blocks of longer than a week. [That said, blocked users can see
the email of the blocking admin, so you may get email from people unfairly blocked]
See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Blocking_IP_addresses Wikipedia's approach] to understand the [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6224677.stm possible results] of blocking.
