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.

Questions

  • How do I associate two activities in my Journal with each other?
  • How do I change the name/color of my XO avatar?

Overall notes

  • Hand + alt + = -> developers' console
  • Ctrl + alt + erase -> restart sugar
  • alt + c -> force quit (yes, it works here too)
  • "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
  • collaboration via mesh works! but all text shows up in b&w, times new roman, 12pt in the other person's screen, even if you change size/color/font.

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.

TamTam

Etoys

Camera

Library

  • Mini-wikipedia
  • How to make a package
  • Chinese-language packages

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.
  • what games can we play to demo this? memorize?
  • Lincoln's docs on tubes in pygame

Games

  • 3d pong, if I can get it working
  • Kuku
  • Rule?
  • Connect4

Hardware coolness

  • display
  • ruggedness
  • lightweight
  • pressure/capac. touchpads
  • tablet mode
  • wifi antennas/locks/dust covers

Welcome, Wikimaniacs!
