Things to demo
Please help us figure out what to demo on the laptops during Wikimania, and how. We will have a number of them around, so mesh network stuff would be excellent to show off.
Overall notes
- Hand + alt + = -> developers' console
- Ctrl + alt + erase -> restart sugar
- su gets you into root, no password needed
To install a new activity
- put it on a thumb drive
- mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
- cp -r /mnt/Whatever.activity/ /usr/share/activities
- umount /dev/sda1
- restart sugar
Measure (ready)
- logs stored as flat text files
- whistling a good demo for fft
- no mesh
Write (ready?)
- functional test passes
- check... can we do collaboration?
Chat (ready)
- Is there a way to encourage meshing between two computers? Not all computers seem to see all others.
Journal (ready, Mel not)
- Functional test passes
- can't figure out how to associate activities to same project, another XO
Connect4 (ready)
- had to restart a few times, trial & error, to get a working game. but cool.

Mesh networking
As of build 536, laptops should automatically join a MESH network (without internet connectivity, however). Once the laptop is powered up, it takes a few minutes to configure itself, but eventually olpcA and olpcB should be able to see eachother.
Generic MESH application sharing instructions: Have two laptops connected to MESH. Start the application on olpcA, and share it by changing the "share with:" drop down in the top right corner from private to my neighborhood. Shortly after, olpcB should be able to see the write application shared from the neighborhood view.
- Connect4 - This game works over MESH, however scores aren't recorded or kept.
- Write - This application works over MESH. Users can simultaneously edit the same document.
- Chat - Works over MESH.
