Laptop News 2008-01-12

1. Mongolia is the first beneficiary of the Give One Get One program. Laptops have begun to arrive and a team from OLPC, including Carla Gomez Monroy, Jan Jungclaus, and Enkhmunkh Zurgaanjin are on the ground to help with the initial deployment. Dave Woodhouse will be heading to Ulan Bator to help with the School Server later this month.

2. Las Vegas: Nicholas Negroponte gave the keynote at CES' new program entitled, “Technology and Emerging Countries: Advancing Development through Technology Investments.” He spoke about learning, constructionism, and the long history of thinking about thinking, drawing heavily on Seymour Papert's life work.

3. Cambridge: Walter also met with the X-Prize Foundation Founder and Chairman Peter Diamandis. They discussed two competitions that are in the planning stages: (1) development of a low-cost rural water/power/communications station; and (2) development of a high-impact global learning intervention. The incentive in both competitions is a US $10M prize. OLPC has offered to help define the goals and metrics for the prizes, as there is obvious synergy with our mission in both cases.

4. Las Vegas: Michail Bletsas delivered the keynote address at the 5th IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC); his talk was about the XO's networking architecture.

5. In the news: Two topics dominated the press coverage of OLPC this week: the Intel departure; and the Microsoft plans for the XO. The Intel departure, which ultimately boiled down to a lack of trust, as been discussed ad nauseum; Ivan Krstić blog provides a good overview of the Microsoft plans from the OLPC perspective (Please visit http://radian.org/notebook/paradox-of-choice).

6. Embedded controller: Richard Smith spent time working on the SCI mask corruption problem (Ticket #5467). This was a critical bug because the root cause was problems with the EC command implementation. Richard thinks he has finally bested the gremlins: The original implementation depended on interrupts that were being lost; as a result, the EC would at best fail to process the data correctly and at worst completely stop processing commands. The solution in this case is to eliminate these interrupts altogether, as they are unnecessary. Richard implemented a polling scheme instead; the code is passing all his tests and is faster even in its currently unoptimized state. Faster is good because the host issues lots of EC commands on the way into and out of suspend, where every millisecond is critical. Richard is asking that anyone interested in helping us test his solution to upgrade to a firmware release Q2D08A (or higher).

7. Firmware: Mitch Bradley released Q2D08 firmware with a long list of “fit and finish” improvements and minor bug fixes. Details can be found in the wiki (See OLPC Firmware q2d08).

8. SD Card support: One nagging problem has been the performance of the SD card on resume. Mitch took time this week to study the problem. He determined that resume can be done in 25 to 200 mS, depending on the card used. The mean value from a sample of seven different cards was 70 mS.

9. Batteries: Some reports of batteries not charging are coming in from the field. The bulk of the data reports (from olpc-logbat) are almost identical: the XO declares the battery fully charged and quits charging when it's really not. Subsequently, when you use your laptop on battery power, it shuts off with no warning, because the voltage dips below the critical level but the capacity is still >15%. In some cases, the shutdown is very quick (seconds) and in others the battery gets enough charge to last between 10 and 20 minutes.

Richard made some additions to batman.fth that allow the user to reset the percent-full field to back to “low”, thus causing the EC code try to recharge. One person with battery-charge problems has used this utility: the data show the voltage on the battery jumping from low (5V to 6V ) to >= 7.4V (the “full” threshold) in the span of 10 seconds. Repeating the test three times showed one span where the battery actually began to charge normally for a while, but then jumped to full. The EC code seems to be operating properly, but something is causing the battery resistance to suddenly rise. This could be either a battery problem or a manufacturing defect in the XO. Something as simple as a bad connection in the charge path could cause this behavior.

10. School Server: The school-server software platform is currently being extended by John Watlington to support multiple servers, each providing internet access to the mesh on all three wireless mesh channels. A two-server system was manually configured at 1CC (and in John's home, a much quieter wireless environment) and largely worked. Its configuration has been automated; a new school-server build is in early testing and will be released in the next few days.

The rush on this is the desire to provide access to a common library to a trial of two schools in Mongolia this January, with upcoming deployments elsewhere following as soon as we have Active Antennas in volume. Each school of 500 children will have three servers providing backup storage and access to a large (700 GB) local content library. We shipped off six servers (the lowest end SOHO server from a leading PC manufacturer) to the trials this week after reconfiguring them in Cambridge. Additional machines are being acquired locally and will be tested.

The latest version of ejabberd (2.0) has been successfully packaged by Collabora, configured and integrated into a school server build, and is now being tested. The configuration still requires manual intervention and scalability and stability are serious-enough concerns that we continue to explore alternatives.

11. Testing: Chih-yu Chao worked on testing various builds (Joyride 1489 and 1520, and Update.1 681). This included some localization testing, one-hour smoke tests, and content bundles (both activities and library). She also spent some time becoming familiar with school server and created test cases for suspend/resume. Kim Quirk spent some time in localization, keyboard testing, and upgrade testing for the Ship2.2 Build 656. Remember to keep an eye on Test Group Release Notes page in the wiki for information on the latest releases (Test Group Release Notes).

12. Wireless testing: We are currently testing Build 674 with wireless firmware 5.110.22.p1. Build 674 has all the latest wireless driver modifications from David Woodhouse, which seems to improve stability and performance. The only obvious issue with Build 674 is the inability to associate with WEP-encrypted access points in the Sugar user interface (we can make connections from the command line). Wireless firmware 5.110.22.p1 fixes a rare wireless hang that happens when a link loss condition occurs while the radio is scanning and also rearranges the relative priorities of the internal firmware threads. Thanks to the team at Marvell Pune and Ricardo Carrano for all the hard work.

13. Support: Adam Holt and the team of many support volunteers continue to improve systems and documentation. And they continue to make progress with the phone bank system. There are regular Sunday afternoon 4PM (EST) calls—if you are interested in joining, please get in touch with Adam for the details (holt at laptop.org).

Adam organized another very successful support meeting last Sunday; 24 people showed up (See Support meetings).

Participation by guest developers drive the enthusiasm at the meetings. Thanks to Kim Quirk, Arjun Sarwal, and Bernie Innocenti for their participation. By the end of week, our Support list now contains 51 subscribers. Support volunteer Frank Barcenas, who is based in Lima, Peru started only four days ago and is doing a great job, even without an XO!

Adam also recruited likely volunteers for documentation and QA. Felice Gardner and SJ Klein have been helping here. Professor Lee Tesdell at Minnesota State Univ will likely work with us and his entire class improving documentation of particular topics. Similarly, Adam helped Arjun engage with science teachers and curriculum developers to develop further interest in the Measure activity.

Adam also resolved troubling tickets by phone, calling donors directly—he focused on especially confused donors who either require RMAs or were accidentally blocking our incoming emails.

Adam has been helping to navigate through our parts/repair story, towards setting up perhaps 10 volunteer-driven repair centers around the USA and Canada—a model that could be replicated elsewhere.

Finally, Adam continues to work with Matthew O’Gorman and Joe Phigan on a phone server. Matthew should have the voice prompts recorded ASAP, so we can begin training volunteers.

14. Sugar medley: Tomeu Vizoso worked on fixing bugs this week in anticipation of the Update.1 release. He focused on the Sugar shell, the Journal, the datastore, and Read activity. Almost all of his patches have already been tested in the Joyride builds and will pushed into an Update.1 build soon.

Reinier Heeres has written a patch to improve the palette positioning logic so that palettes don't end up outside the visible screen (Ticket #5944) and he has included support for ellipsis ('...') in long lines (Ticket #4562). Finally a new version of evince was built to reduce the memory usage for pdf files with images, and a patch by Tomeu was included to make the fit-to-width button work.

Marco Pesenti Gritti tracked down the problem with the Turkish locale that was causing crashes at system startup. He's pushed a workaround in the builds. A numpy hacker helped to track down the real cause; it looks like problem in pygtk or Python. Marco worked with Reinier on the palette positioning problem and together they landed multiple fixes. Marco built xulrunner 1.9 beta2. We are going to test it and see if it's stable enough to go in Update.1. He reviewed numerous patches from Simon Schampijer, Reinier, and Tomeu. [These guys rock.] There was lots of bug triaging to ensure that fixes for the most urgent problems land in the build as soon as possible. We’ve been testing all the changes in Joyride to avoid regressions. Altogether, we have managed to cut down the list of Sugar core bugs, especially the blockers. And in the spirit of “if you want something done, find a busy person”, Marco took over gtkmozembed maintenance upstream, to ensure we will have a sane API to migrate to when xpcom is deprecated in Mozilla 3.0.

15. Software Medley: Chris Ball is working on the last power management feature for Update.1—a logfile to record information about how often and why we suspend/resume, together with battery status information. Getting this log back from the field will help turn the current set of timeouts into something more principled, and will give Richard Smith useful power data as well.

Andres Salomon worked on the touchpad driver and Debian packaging of some OLPC packages.

Bernie Innocenti mostly worked on bug squashing for Update.1. Specifically, the pen-tablet not working, permission problems in /home/olpc, and providing automatic login in the console so that we can finally disable the root and olpc passwords. Bernie also helped SJ with the hard drive images for Mongolia, and Arjun with the Measure activity redesign. He and Walter debugged console keymaps for Spanish and Portuguese and Albert Cahalan contributed a nice console font that we may try to integrate.

As a pet project, Bernie started to port an “oldskool” activity called SoundTracker to the laptop. He is in touch with the original authors for help.

David Woodhouse looked at the unionfs patches which are making their way upstream and likely to land in 2.6.25. Will probably land these in the Fedora kernel sometime soon and play with them some more. They work without any changes to the underlying file systems, which means that whiteouts (where the “upper” layers of the filesystem actively remove an object that exists in a “lower” layer) are a bit of a hack. But that can be fixed. The design goal of requiring nothing special from the filesystem makes sense and we can do it nicely; it just hasn't been done yet.

Dave reluctantly reduced the log level at which the (mostly harmless) CRC failure messages are printed by JFFS2. Need to introduce a new “root-only” write threshold and expose all the thresholds through sysfs.

The short-term fix Dave made for SD seems like it might be helpful, according to Tomeu's comment in Ticket #4013. The device goes away and then a 'new' device comes back on suspend/resume. It doesn't help if you're running with your rootfs on the device, or if you have an open file on it while you suspend, but it looks like it does help a lot of use cases. We'll need to work with Marvell to figure out the delays in card detection on resume. They claim it doesn't take as long as our measurements show.

16. Build system: Reinier has been working on a new build announcer script in Python (http://dev.laptop.org/~rwh/announcer). As an improvement over Bert Freudenberg's script, it can collect ChangeLog entries from package versions that have not appeared in a build, and gets ChangeLogs for rpms directly from Koji. Dennis Gilmore spent most the week syncing Joyride and Update.1, trying to chase up missing SRPMS and make sure things are getting better. He also spent time talking to people at Fudcon about OLPC; there were quite a few Give-One-Get-One participants showing real interest in the XO. Dennis will be doing a session on the XO over the weekend.

Early in the week, Jim Gettys was spooked by some build problems we were having: we had later packages in Update.1 than Joyride, something that should never occur. Dennis tracked this down to a mistagging. We are now getting very close to having a build together, built consistently and reproducibly, that is close enough to Update.1 to start serious testing.

17. Presence service: Guillaume Desmottes designed a proposal of Jingle protocol for transport re-negotation, needed for OOB support in Gabble (See http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Jingle-renegotiation). He started to implement hyperactivity, a collaboration stress-testing tool (Ticket #5817).

Morgan Collett landed the fix for the presence service bug that prevented buddies from clustering around their shared activity due to signals firing in the wrong order (Ticket #5368); the patch exposed a UI issue in Sugar “snowflake” layout where the first buddy moved into the activity appears next to it, but subsequent buddies simply vanish off mesh view; they reappear when they leave the activity (Ticket #5904). Morgan also worked on a couple of other presence-server issues: blank names in mesh view and hex-key names in mesh view.

18. Localization: Sayamindu Dasgupta set up a Pootle project for Etoys, so that volunteers translators working on the various activities and Sugar can also work on Etoys as well. He added the memorize activity in Pootle, so that it can be translated by the volunteers. He fixed a problem which was preventing the Spanish translations from showing up in Pippy. (ticket #5504) And he helped set up translation teams for Bengali (India), Catalan, and Polish.

Localization into Pashto and Dari languages continues to advance. Dr. Habib Khan reports that his team has engaged Afghan graduate students of International Islamic University in the localization endeavors. They have initiated this project with great enthusiasm but their end-of-semester examinations have started and will end on January 20, so our hopes for early completion does not seem to be on schedule.

Arjun Sarwal and Bernie tested the Devanagari keyboard with the Lohit Hindi fonts. The keyboard and font rendering both seem to be working well. The Lohit Hindi Fonts package is expected to go into Update.1.

19. Wireless driver: Dave Woodhouse did some more work on the libertas driver, but he is letting the earlier batch of patches land and the dust settle before he starts again on that in earnest. It is mostly cleanups to be done now—the real fixes and the “dangerous” stuff are mostly behind us. Dave wants to investigate the suspend/resume behavior—that was working OK in his testing but we’ve seen two bug reports that cause him to suspect the driver might be getting it wrong.

Dave is also trying to get up to speed on school server stuff to fully understand what to expect when he gets to Mongolia next week (other than -20°C).

20. Rainbow: Michael Stone closed many bugs and contributed many patches. Along with Bernie, Phil, Simon, and Marco, we have now provided or improved proposed fixes or work-arounds for all of the known serious issues with Rainbow for Update.1 including:

• the 'rainbow spool persistence bug' (Ticket #5033);
• the 'SSL failure bug' (Ticket #5489);
• the 'orphaned files bug' (Ticket #5637);
• the 'uid reclamation bug' (Ticket #2527);
• the '/home/olpc permissions bug' (Ticket #5320); and
• the 'sudo vs. su bug' (Ticket #5537).

Michael also assisted Phil Bordelon with the 'orphaned previews bug' (Ticket #5929) and he offered Daniel and Chih-yu an overview of our implementation of activity isolation so that we can begin to construct a test plan for the isolation features scheduled for Update.1. Finally, Michael assisted Sjoerd, Ben, and Erik in their debugging efforts.

Marcus Leech’s (Nortel) contributions to our efforts have also been invaluable.

21. Activities: Joshua Minor made a new activity called Speak. It is a “talking face” for the XO laptop. Anything you type will be spoken aloud using the XO's speech synthesizer, espeak. You can adjust the accent, rate, and pitch of the voice as well as the shape of the eyes and mouth. This is a fun way to experiment with the speech synthesizer, learn to type, or just have fun making a funny face for your XO. Please see Speak for details. (Josh sends thanks to Arjun Sarwal, Hemant Goyal and Bernardo Innocenti for their help.)

Arjun Sarwal continues to improve the Measure activity. He is working towards making the code scalable (so that it is easy to add more graphs, more views, etc.). The mix of having a large drawing area and a lot of real-time processing of data, combined with the goal of a fast response time is a challenging (and interesting) balance of experimentation and optimization.

The Measure page in the wiki (Measure) now incorporates easy to follow instructions to build one's own low cost probe for connecting sensors to the XO. The “flavor of the month” of Measure Learning activities is “Temperature.” Arjun encourages educators / teachers / enthusiasts to try building their own low-cost temperature sensing probe by following the directions given on the page and get in touch (arjun AT laptop.org) in case of any problems.

In a related effort, Arjun is interested in organizing an OLPC-Health interest group. All interested in participating towards developing medical and health applications around the XO should join the “Library” mailing list and add their names to the volunteers section of the Health wiki page (Health). Participation is invited from all: hardware developers, programmers, doctors, biologists, etc. A conference call is planned for the last week of January.

22. E-books: Dr. Khan reports progress on converting all the text books written on curriculum of the Federal Ministry of Education, Islamabad into e-books. The following text books of Federal Ministry of Education for Grade I for use in English and Urdu mediums of instruction are complete:

• My English Reader for Grade I
• Islamic Studies (Shaoor-e-Islamyat) Grade I
• Social Studies for Grade I
• Science for Grade I

These text books are now waiting a review by the Department of Education, IIU. After incorporating the suggestion we will make them available on XO library.

23. Curriki: Lauren Klein and SJ Klein started working with Joshua Marks and the group-development team at Curriki to design a space and interfaces for OLPC collections on their site. Joshua is rolling out a “groups” feature that will allow custom design of individual portals within the next week that will make implementing a “compile for XO” button and an OLPC start page easier.

ラップトップ ニュース 2007-12-30

1. Give One Get One: The G1G1 program ends on December 31. G1G1 has not only made it possible to seed the launch of programs in Haiti, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Cambodia, Mongolia, and Afghanistan, but we have also greatly broadened the community of participation in the project. The community has already jumped in to help: the level of activity in our forums, IRC, email lists, wiki, etc. has risen dramatically over the past few weeks. G1G1 participants have asked lots of questions—and have uncovered some new bugs—but they also have lots of answers—and have submitted some new patches. The community model seems to be scaling.

1. Give One Get One (ギブワン・ゲットワン／G1G1): G1G1運動は12月31日に終了します。G1G1はハイチ、ルワンダ、エチオピア、カンボジア、モンゴル、そして、アフガニスタンなどで活動を始める切っ掛けだけではなく、プロジェクトに参加するコミュニティの増加もしました。 早速コミュニティはお手伝いを初め、この数週間の間フォーラム、IRC、メーリング・リスト、wiki、などの様々な所で活動が急激に活発になりました。G1G1参加者はいろいろ質問を聞いたり、バグ発見、質問への返答などもして、いくつかのパッチも提出しました。コミュニティ・モデルは順調にスケールしているみたいです。

Many thanks to Hilary Meserole and the tireless efforts from the teams at Pentagram, Nurun, Eleven, Patriot, and Brightstar.

Hilary Meseroleと休みもしないほど頑張ってくれたPentagram、Nurun、Eleven、Patriot、Brightstarのチームたちの皆さんに心から感謝いたします。

2. Mary Lou Jepsen: Mary Lou's last day at OLPC is December 31. She will be continuing to consult with us on a number of different fronts as she chases after her next miracle in display technology. Mary Lou was OLPC employee Number One, both in terms of when she joined the organization and in terms of the breadth and depth of her contributions. Thank you and best of luck with your adventures in a new role and new year.

2. Mary Lou Jepsen: Mary LouのOLPCでの仕事は12月31日が最後の日となります。次のディスプレイ技術革命を目指しながらも今後OLPCでコンサルタントとしていろいろな場所で活動を続けます。 Mary Louは参加して日付だけではなく、彼女の貢献もOLPCでは第一の従業員でした。新年での新しい活動と冒険に幸運を願います。

3. Embedded controller (EC): Richard Smith has tested a battery EEPROM dumping feature recently added by Andres Salomon: it seems to work great. Richard has written crontab scripts and "phone home" scripts for inclusion in joyride builds, with the intent to include them in an upcoming release to build an anonymous database of battery performance. These scripts will sample the power used every five minutes and log it. They only sample when the battery is charging or discharging. The hope is to gather a composite view of battery performance under realistic conditions of use.

3. Embedded controller (EC) (組み込みコントローラ (EC)): Richard SmithがAndres Salomonによって追加された'battery EEPROM dumping feature' (バッテリー・EEPROM・ダンプ機能)のテストを行いました。それは順調に作動しているようです。Richardは今後のリリースにバッテリー性能匿名データベースを追加する目的で、joyrideビルドに入れる'crontab' (クロン)スクリプトたちと'phone home' (フォーン・ホーム)スクリプトを書きました。　これらのスクリプトは五分ごとに電池の電源消費をサンプルしてログに書き込みます。サンプルはバッテリーの充電時と放電時にしかされません。希望は実質的な環境で合成的なバッテリー性能を観察することです。

Richard noticed that on the community-development list there are at least two reports of the EC going "terminal", meaning that on boot they get the error message: "EC problem. Remove all power and restart." We need to get those machines to Cambridge to investigate further.

Richardはcommunity-developmentリストでブートアップに「EC problem. Remove all power and restart」と言うエラー・メッセージの出る、ECが'terminal' (致命的)になる出来事に関する報告が最低二回にわたって報告されているのに気がつきました。それらのマシンをCambridgeに送り調査を初める必要があります。

Another issue found on the community-list are reports from a few people about their batteries not charging. Richard says this would not surprise him if they were NiMH batteries, but G1G1 machines have the LiFePo batteries. He did had one person run "logbat" and send him the results: the EC reads the battery fine and is attempting to charge the battery but no current ever goes into the battery. Again, we need to get these machines to Cambridge as we haven't seen this behavior before.

その他にcommunity-listで見つけた問題はバッテリーが充電しないと言う報告です。RichardはもしそれがNiMHバッテリーだとしたらあまり驚きはしないと行っていますが、G1G1マシンはLiFePoバッテリーを備えています。一応一人のユーザに'logbat' (ログバット)を走らせて結果を送ってもらいました。それによるとECの報告ではバッテリーの状態は大丈夫で充電しようとしますが、電気はまったくバッテリーに入りません。この問題は始めて出くわすのでまたそのマシンたちをCambridgeに送る必要があります。

4. Open Firmware: Mitch Bradley continued to provide G1G1 customer support, for example, chasing down some problems with SD cards. He also added the ability to delete JFFS2 files from Open Firmware and fixed Tickets #5717, #5585, and #5727, all improvements to the overall OFW performance and reliability. Preparations continue on OFW for the Intel prototype XO board.

4. Open Firmware (オープン・ファームウェア): Mitch BradleyはSDカード問題の追跡など引き続きG1G1カストマー・サポートを行いました。 オープン・ファームウェアからJFFS2ファイルの取り消しができる機能を追加する外、チケット #5717、#5585、#5727を修正、そして、OFW (オープン・ファームウェア)の性能と信頼性を全面的に改良しました。 IntelプロトタイプXOボード用のOFW準備は着々と進んでいます。

5. Wireless firmware: Marvell released firmware version 5.110.20.p49 which addresses Ticket #5194. With this firmware release, all known major low-level bugs have been addressed. With the wireless driver that's in the current ship builds, we see locking errors under heavy load from which the driver recovers automatically. David Woodhouse is doing a major rewrite of the driver which should eventually address that issue.

5. Wireless firmware (ワイヤレス・ファームウェア): チケット#5194を修正するファームウェア・バージョン 5.110.20.p49がMarvellによりリリースすされました。 このファームウェアのリリースにより知られている'low-level' (ロー・レベル)バグは全て修正されました。現在のshipビルドに含まれているワイヤレス・ドライバでは一応自動的に回復しますが、ネットワーク・ロードが重い場合はロッキング・エラーが現れます。David Woodhouseはこの問題を修正するため本格的なドライバの書き直しをおこなっています。

6. Software ECOs: From time to time there may be critical bug fixes that must be released between our regularly scheduled releases. These may occur due to security issues, from unexpected hardware problems, or the discovery of latent bugs that affect large numbers of users. We've started a page in wiki discuss the software engineering change order (ECO) process (See Operating_system_release_procedures).

6. Software ECOs (ソフトウェア ECO): 今後たまたまレギュラー・スケジュール・リリースの間に重大バグ修正を出す必要があるかもしれません。それらはセキュリティ問題、予知してないハードウェア問題、大勢のユーザに影響をもたらす潜在バグの発見などが対象になります。 'Software engineering change order' (ECO) (ソフトウェア・エンジニアリング・チェンジ・オーダー)を課題にするwikiページを始めました。(内容に付いてはOperating_system_release_procedures をご覧ください。)

7. Support: The past week has been a busy one for Adam Holt and the OLPC support team. Adam has organized a team of 30 support volunteers to comprehensively answer help@laptop.org tickets. (Each ticket is an ongoing email conversation with a donor/client.) The volunteer team is working hard, but keeping up with the support load. Part of the process includes the compilation of a Support FAQ (See Support_FAQ). Adam is also organizing a "virtual call center" based on asterisk.org VoIP. Matthew O'Gorman is helping finalize the server. Callers will access a local US number in the 617 area code. It will be informal, but we hope it will provide a critical outreach to those users who need it most. We hope to complete testing and possibly an initial rollout within the coming week.

7. Support (サポート):　この一週間はAdam HoltとOLPCサポート・チームにとってはとても忙しい期間でした。 Adamはサーポート・ボランティアを30人集めてhelp@laptop.orgに提出された数々のチケットに対して全面的に返答しました。(各チケットは寄付者／クライエントとの電子メール会話です。) ボランティア・チームは大量のサポートの数に負ける事もなく大変よく頑張っています。 サポート・プロセスの一部は'Support FAQ' (サポートFAQ)の著作です (Support_FAQをご覧ください)。 外にAdamはasterisk.org VoIPを元にした'virtual call center' (バーチュアル・コール・センター)の準備もしています。 Matthew O'Gormanはサーバ設置の最終段階に取りかかっています。 質問者はUS・617エリアコード内のローカル番号を通してアクセスします。 非公式な設備ですが一番手伝いが必要なユーザにとっては欠かせないサービスになるだろうと期待しています。テストを終了して出来れば次週に初ロールアウトさせたいです。

Please everyone recruit your XO-aware friends as: (1) "charming" volunteers to answer phones; and (2) "perfectionist" volunteers to help organize our wiki pages.

ぜひXOに関心を持っている友達をリクルートして下さい： （1）　電話で返答できる魅力的なボランティア。 （2）　wikiページで作業ができる完全主義者のボランティア

You can email Adam regarding your talents, motivations, and a phone number at "holt AT laptop DOT org". Thanks!

興味ある方はタレント、動機、そして、電話番号をAdam宛のアドレス'holt AT laptop DOT org'まで電子メールで送ってください。ありがとうございます！

There will be an "Organizing Sunday" meeting among our volunteers on 30 December, 4PM EST. All interested parties can join if they email Adam first.

12月30日 16:00 ESTに'Organizing Sunday'会議をします。興味ある方々は先にAdamへ電子メールを送ってから参加して下さい。

Noah Kantrowitz has helped to organize the RT system so that volunteers' workflow is more efficient. Instant-response RTFM entries (canned answers auto-pasted into emails) are growing too.

Noah Kantrowitzはボランティアのワークフローをもっと効率的にするためRTシステムの整理をしました。'Instant-response RTFM'(インスタント返答RTFM／準備された自動的電子メール返答)の数は増加しつつあります。

Chih-yu Chao is helping Adam to answer questions from G1G1 recipients; she has noticed that many parents are asking whether our browser support Flash/Java websites, an area we need to improve upon.

Chih-yu ChaoはG1G1を受け取った人たちからの質問返答でAdamを手伝っています。彼女が気がついたのは両親はよく我々のブラウザがFlash/Javaウェブサイトを使えるかどうかの質問をすることです。我々はこのエリアでもっと力を入れる必要があります。

Michael Burns of the Oregon State Open Source Lab has been working each night improving and growing the Community Support forum (See http://olpc.osuosl.org/), which is now exceeding 1,000 posts; 200 registered users have answered hundreds of first-time computer questions from G1G1 donors. There is already a growing community of users helping other users on the site. The site includes a live (IRC) chat (See http://olpc.osuosl.org/chat), a feature that works from any computer, including directly from the XO, and a volunteers map (See http://olpc.osuosl.org/forum/phoogle_map.php) that lets developers, enthusiasts and users put a push-pin next to their home town.

Oregon State Open Source Lab (オレゴン州オープンソース研究所)のMichael Burnsは毎夜コミュニティ・サポート・フォーラムの増加と改良に取りかかっています (http://olpc.osuosl.org/ をご覧ください)。 ポスト提出数は1000以上になり、200人以上の登録者がG1G1寄付者からの初心者質問に返答してくれました。 このサイトでは増えつつあるコミュニティのユーザがお互いに手伝い合っています。 XOも含めてどのコンピュータからも継ぐ事のできるIRCを通したライブ・チャット (http://olpc.osuosl.org/chat をご覧ください) と、ディベロッパー、ファン、そして、ユーザの居場所をプッシュピン的に記入したボランティア地図があります (http://olpc.osuosl.org/forum/phoogle_map.php をご覧ください）。

8. Etoys: 2007 was a busy year for the Etoys team: they made over 700 patches this calendar year. In addition to these code changes, there is new content: examples, help contents, and documentation. Etoys was more or less stable and mature before 2007, but the effort in the year made it even more stable, useful and be fit to the XO platform. Notable improvements and contributions include: sane mathematical operator precedence by Yoshiki Ohshima; better natural language translation by Takashi Yamamiya and Korakurider; display scaling by Andreas Raab; an event recording system (called Event Theatre) by Scott Wallace; a camera interface by Diego Gomez Deck; the World Stethoscope by Kazuhiro Abe; the Quick Guide help system by Kathleen Harness, Ted Kaehler and Yoshiki; drag and drop by Takashi; IPv6 support by Ian Piumarta and Michael Rueger; documentation by Alan Kay, Kim Rose and Rebecca Cannara; and numerous fixes and usability improvements from the Etoys team and community, including contributions by Karl Ramberg and Marcus Denker.

8. Etoys: 2007年は700以上のパッチを作成するなど、Etoysチームにとって大変忙しい年でした。 このコード修正以外にexamples、help contents、documentationなどの新い内容も入りました。Etoysは2007年以前から信頼性が高く成熟していましたが、今年の働きで信頼性はより高くなり、XOプラットフォームにとって有用でふさわしいものになりました。顕著な改善と貢献は以下のとおりです: 大島芳樹による'same mathematical operator precedence'; 山宮隆とKorakuriderによる改良された自然言語翻訳; Andreas Raabによる'display scaling'; Scott Wallaceによるイベント・レコーディング・システム(名前はEvent Theatre); Diego Gomez Deckによるカメラ・インターフェース; 阿部和広による'World Stethoscope'(世界聴診器); Kathleen Harness、Ted Kaehler、Yoshikiによる'Quick Guide help system' (クイックガイド・ヘルプ・システム);山宮隆によるドラグ・アンド・ドロップ; Ian PiumartaとMichael RuegerによるIPv6サポート;Alan Kay、Kim Rose、Rebecca Cannaraによるマニュアルの著作; その他Karl Ramberg、Marcus Denkerの貢献も含めたEtoysチームとコミュニティのあらゆる修正と改良。

In 2007, there were many deadlines in short successions, putting pressure on the team to deliver stable versions—pushing the team towards a conservative approach to development. Many big changes were punted. In hindsight, perhaps delivering some unstable versions with bigger changes would have been better strategy. On the other hand, it is worth to mention that Etoys is one of the most reliable packages over the course of XO development and has seen extensive use in most of the school trials. Kudos to Bert Freudenberg, who maintains the Etoys integration with Sugar (Bert not only led the effort to integrate Etoys with Sugar; he also contributed Sugar's overall development).

2007年は短い期間の間に多くの締切りが続けて現れ、チームに安定版を出すプレッシャーを与えたので、開発は控えめな方法になりがちでした。大掛かりな変更は賭けでした。振りかえって見ると、戦略としてはもっと大きな改良をつぎ込んだ少し不安定なバージョンを出した方が良かったですが、別の見方をすればEtoysはXO開発の上でパッケージの中では最も信頼性のある部類に入り、ほとんどの学校の試行で幅広く使用されました。EtoysとSugarとの統合性を受け持っているBert Freudenbergに心から感謝いたします。(彼はEtoysとSugarの統合作業をリードしただけではなく、その上Sugarの開発に全面的に貢献しました。)

There were various Etoys-based activities proposed: a programming tutorial called Bots Inc by Stéphane Ducasse; an interactive geometry program called Dr Geo II by Hilaire Hernandez; and education contents suite by Luke Gorrie, Bryan Berry, and the OLPC Nepal developers. "Conservativeness" was a major issue when discussing the possible inclusion of Dr Geo II into the base Etoys image; accommodating such code in a graceful way is a challenge for 2008.

いろいろなEtoysをベースにしたアクティビティが提案されました： Stéphane Ducasseによる'Bots Inc'(ボッツInc)というプログラミング・チュートリアル; Hilaire Hernandezによる'Dr Geo II' (ドクター・ジオ・II)という幾何学プログラム; Luke Gorrie、Bryan Berry、OLPCネパール・ディベロッパーによる教育コンテンツ一式。'Dr Geo II'をEtoysベース・イメージに追加する話し合いの時に「保守主義」の課題は大きな論争になりました。そのようなコードを率直に取り入れる事は2008年度の課題になります。

9. Translation: One of the last pieces in our Pootle deployment is now in place: a mechanism to update PO template files for each module automatically. Sayamindu Dasgupta has fine tuned the script that does this updating to change POT files only if the strings have changed. (This work is based on Damned Lies, the GNOME translation management system). This helps avoid the redundant updating of PO files. The string-change detection feature will also be useful in the future to detect string-freeze breakages and also to notify translators when new strings are added to a module.

9. Translation (翻訳): Pootle設置で最後の一切れとなる、自動的に各設モジュールのPOテンプレートをアップデートする仕組みは、整いました。 Sayamindu Dasguptaはストリング変更の再にだけPOTファイルがアップデートされるスクリプトのチューニングを行いました (この作業はGNOME翻訳管理システムである'Damned Lies'(ダム・ライズ)をベースにしています)。おかげで無駄なPOファイルのアップデートが省けます。 将来'string-change detection feature' (ストリング変更探知機能)は'string-freeze breakages' (ストリング・フリーズ破損)の探知に役立つ外、モジュールに新しいストリングが追加された場合は翻訳者宛に報告します。

This week also saw the first package release of the Update 1 branch to pick up new translators. Thanks to the excellent effort put in by the translators, the Update.1 project (which consisted of the Update 1 branches of the Sugar, Journal activity, Record activity and Browse activity) is, on an average, 50% translated for each language. Languages that have more than 90% of their strings translated are:

それに今週は新しい翻訳を組み込むためにUpdate.1ブランチの初パッケージ・リリースがありました。翻訳者の方々にご協力いただき、Update.1プロジェクト (Update.1ブランチのSugar、そして、Journal、Record、Browseなどのアクティビティを含む) は、各言語で平均的に50%翻訳されているので、心から感謝いたします。 90%以上のストリングが翻訳されている言語は下記のとおりです:

• Urdu (100%) • Nepali (100%) • Dutch (100%) • Chinese (Taiwan) (100%) • Bengali (100%) • Arabic (100%) • Portuguese (Brazil) (99%) • Portuguese (99%) • Macedonian (99%) • Russian (98%) • Greek (98%) • French (98%) • Chinese (China) (98%) • German (96%) • Mongolian (94%)

The focus has shifted to the master branches once again, although language teams are encouraged to update their translations in Update.1 project (there will be another package release for Update.1 that would pick up any new translations).

フォーカスはマスター・ブランチに移りましたが、翻訳者の皆さんはUpdate.1の翻訳に取りかかってもらいたいです。(その内に新い翻訳を拾う別のUpdate.1のパッケージ・リリースが出てきます。)

In the middle of the week, Sayamindu also managed to track down a problem in Pootle that was holding up the work being done by the Urdu team. The issue was being caused by a corrupt stats file in the Pootle-Urdu directory.

さらに今週のなかごろSayaminduはウルドゥ・チームの作業の邪魔になっていたPootle上の問題の追求もしました。問題の原因はPootle-Urduディレクトリ内の破損した'stats'スタッツ・ファイルでした。

10. Touchpad: Bernardo Innocenti spent much of the week testing a solution to the "jumpy mouse" touchpad bug. We'll soon be pushing out a patch that should cover the majority of touchpad problems.

10. Touchpad (タッチパッド): 今週中Bernado Innocentiは'jumpy mouse'(飛び跳ねるマウス)タッチパッド・バグの解決方を探していました。 大半のタッチパッド問題を修正するパッチを近いうちリリースする予定です。

11. Journal: Reinier Heeres wrote a script to copy files from the Journal to the Linux file system (Ticket #5571). This got extended by Phil Bordelon, just like the copy-to-journal script. Reinier also fixed some equation parser issues in the Calculator (Ticket #5734) and an issue with Browse not exiting when a keep error occurred (Ticket

1. 5493).

11. Journal (ジャーナル): Reinier Heeresはジャーナルからリナックス・ファイルシステムへファイルをコピーするスクリプトを書きました (チケット #5571)。 それはPhil Bordelonにより'copy-to-journal'スクリプトに似た物に改良されました。またReinierはCalculator (カルキュレ−タ)の'equation parser'問題 (チケット #5734)と'keep error'の際'Browse' (ブラウズ)がきちんと退去しない問題 (チケット #5493)を修正しました。

12. Debian: Ivan Krstić is overhauling the OLPC server infrastructure, but also found the time to put together an "unofficial" etch/xfce4 build. It includes Firefox, Thunderbird, a suite of development tools (python, git, gcc, gdb, flex, bison, automake, autoconf, libtool), a music player (XMMS), IRC client (irssi) and a graphical wireless AP selector. The entire build takes up 250MB of flash. Ivan optimized the Firefox window layout to maximum screen estate and configured a number of keyboard shortcuts.

12. Debian (デビアン): Ivan KrstićはOLPCサーバ設備のオーバーホールに取り込んでいる最中です。 その他、正式なビルドではありませんが'etch/xfce4' (エッチ／xfce4)ビルドの組み立てもしました。 それにはFirefox (ファイヤーフォックス)、 Thunderbird (サンダーバード)、ディベロッパー・ツール (python (パイソン)、git (ギット)、gcc、gdb、flex、automake、autoconf、libtool)、ミュージック・プレーヤー (XMMS)、IRCクライエント (irssi)、グラフィカル・ワイヤレスAPセレクターなどが入っています。 ビルドは全部で250MBほどのフラッシュを使います。 Ivanはできるだけ活用画面を増やすためファイヤーフォックスのウインドウ・レイアウトを替え、キーボード・ショートカットもいくつか設置しました。

13. Cow power: Arjun Sarwal along with the Mumbai team made some good progress on the cow-power system for charging the XO. They made some changes in the electrical design (e.g., using an alternator now instead of a dynamo) and they have a plan regarding the mechanical design based upon a better understanding of what are readily available parts. The current setup easily charges two laptops, however with the planned mechanical design changes, they hope to charge at least ten laptops simultaneously.

13. Cow power (牛電力): Arjun SarwalとMumbaiチームのXO充電に応用する'cow-power' (牛電力)システムの開発は順調に進んでいます。 彼らは電力デザインをある程度変え(例、ダイナモの変わりにオルタネーターを使う)、彼らは現場で調達出来るパーツの理解が前に比べて良くなったので、それを元にした機械デザインのプランがあります。現在の設定ではラップトップを二つ充電することができ、計画されている改良は最低10以上のラップトップが充電できると期待されています。

14. Games: Don Hopkins has been working on the new Micropolis codebase (See http://www.DonHopkins.com/home/micropolis). He has made a web server out of the Micropolis python module for testing and has modularized python code for tile and cellular automation rendering.

14. Games (ゲーム): Don Hopkinsは新しい'Micropolis codebase'(マイクロポリス・コードベース)の作業に取りかかっています (http://www.DonHopkins.com/home/micropolis をご覧ください)。 彼はテストのため'Micropolis python module' (マイクロポリス・パイソン・モジュール)を使ってウェブサーバを作りました。'tile and cellular automation rendering'のためにパイソン・コードのモジュール化もしました。

15. OurStories: Pablo Flores reports that Uruguay will start collecting stories in late January in different localities, like their recent work in Sarand Grande (See http://olpc-ceibal.blogspot.com/2007/12/day-of-activities-in-sarand-grande.html). Announcements of the site in Spanish and Nigerian languages are being prepared for late January.

15. OurStories (私たちのストーリー): Pablo Floresの報告によるとウラグアイで1月下旬にSarand Grandeでやったように (http://olpc-ceibal.blogspot.com/2007/12/day-of-activities-in-sarand-grande.html をご覧ください) いろいろな地区からストーリーを集め始めるそうです。 そのサイトで一月下旬にスペイン語とナイジェリア語によるアナウンスの準備をしている最中です。

16. Library: Lauren Klein has been working on interfaces to make generating content bundles easier, starting with forms to generate bundle metadata. Next up are automatic bundlers that check and generate manifests and metadata from uploaded tars and zips (See http://crank.laptop.org/~lauren/libraryInfo/).

16. Library (ライブラリ): Lauren Kleinはバンドル・メタデータを生成するフォーム作成を最初に、バンドル・コンテンツの生成をもっと簡単にするインターフェースの作成に取り込みました。次はマニフェスト生成とチェック、そして、アップロードされた'tar'と'zip'の生成です (http://crank.laptop.org/~lauren/libraryInfo/ をご覧ください)。

17. Installing activities: OLPC Austria is improving their "xo-get" command-line script for downloading and installing activities. (The script is a complement to the current process of clicking on .xo files from the Browse activity.) They are making it work with the activities found on the Activities page, having added a field there to include tags (See http://www.olpcaustria.org/mediawiki/index.php/Xo-get and http://www.olpcaustria.org/mediawiki/index.php/Xo-get/Repository).

17. Installing activities (アクティビティのインストール): OLPCオーストリアはアクティビティ・ダウンロードとインストールのため彼らが書いた'xo-get'コマンドライン・スクリプトの改良を行っています。 (スクリプトは現在利用している'.xo'ファイルをブラウズ・アクティビティからクリックするやり方を補うプログラムです。) 彼らは Activities ページのアクティビティが使える様に作られていて、タグを含める事が出来るフィールドを追加しました。 (http://www.olpcaustria.org/mediawiki/index.php/Xo-get と http://www.olpcaustria.org/mediawiki/index.php/Xo-get/Repository をご覧ください。)

18. OLPC Communities: Holger Levsen, Aaron Kaplan, and others from Austrian and German OLPC groups spent the last days of the week at the 24C3 conference in Berlin, Germany. John Crispin and the OpenWRT contingent showed off OpenWRT booting on an XO and let a growing number of XOs share their space. At one point there were over 20 XOs in use in the area, most in the hands of developers and early G1G1 arrivals.

18. OLPC Communities (OLPCコミュニティ): Holger Levsen、Aaron Kaplan、そして、オーストリアとドイツOLPCグループに所属する皆さんは週の最後の数日間ドイツ、ベルリンの24C3会議に出席しました。 John CrispinとOpenWRTの連中はXOでOpenWRTをブートできる事を皆さんに見てもらい、数が増え続けたXOに彼らのスペースを分けてもらいました。ある時活用されているXOの数は20機以上になり、そのほとんどはディベロッパーと初期にG1G1を受け取った人たちでした。

OLPC Switzerland is having its first meeting January 15 in Bern, organized by Michele Notari (See OLPC_Switzerland).

OLPCスイスは1月15日にベルンでMichael Notariにより主催される初会議を行います (OLPC_Switzerland をご覧ください)。

Greg DeKoenigsberg and Jack Aboutbol are starting to organize a social and musical OLPC event in New York City for next August. They are presenting a proposal to the NYC parks and recreation committee next Friday.

Greg DeKoenigsbergとJack Aboutbolは8月にニューヨークでOLPCソーシャルとミュージカル・イベントを主催します。彼らは次の金曜日に'NYC parks and recreation committee'に提案を提出する予定です。

19. Developer community: Almost 1000 developers are active in our Trac system (http://dev.laptop.org). There are thousands more contributors to wiki.laptop.org and to various fori, mailing lists, IRCs, etc. This participation is invaluable to the success of OLPC mission. We'd like to thank, among others:

19. Developer community (ディベロッパー・コミュニティ): 現在我々のTracシステム (http://dev.laptop.org) では1000人以上のディベロッパーが活動を行っています。 wiki.laptop.orgとあるゆる fori、メーリングリスト、IRC、などの場所でさらに数千人以上の貢献者が存在します。 OLPCミッション成功のためにはそのような活動への参加は欠かせないので、下記の人たちを含めた皆さんに心から感謝いたします：

新年のご多幸をお祈りします。

20. Special thanks: As mentioned, the contributions to the project have been numerous and diverse. However, I'd like to acknowledge one contributor who has quietly been playing a central role in perhaps the most critical user-facing aspect of the OLPC effort, Sugar. Red Hat's Marco Pesenti Gritti seems to never rest; he never tires of answering questions, writing patches, and engaging in design discussions. His productivity is monumental; his insights are invaluable.

20. Special thanks (特別に感謝します): 前に申したようにプロジェクトへの貢献はあらゆる方面からもらいました。 しかしながらただ一人だけ特別に感謝したいのは、OLPC運動で重大なユーザを面するSugarの開発で静かに中心的な役目を果たしたRed HatのMarco Pesenti Grittiです。彼は休む間も見せず、質問への応答、パッチの著作、デザインに関する議論などで良く働きました。彼の貢献はすさまじく、その洞察力は欠かせません。

Further work: we can definitely ask him to contribute on a quarterly basis but I've found that I have to be very specific as to what I am asking to do and he has to be comfortable that it is consistent with his academic work.

Ask for a new piece on the epidemiology of learning

Rodrigo

Ometepe - A beautiful piece with wonderful images. RAH posted a personal and lengthy version (1500+ words) that he shared with his private distribution list. I made an edited version (1200 words) that could be shared publicly. Must check with RAH on this. File:Ometepe articulo por Rodrigo Arboleda.pdf File:Ometepe by Rodrigo Arboleda (3).pdf

I had hoped that we could do a video series with Rodrigo but the budget hasn't been approved. Giulia - can we get an answer on this?

Rwanda

Rwanda case studies

Ceri Whatley - summary of importance of headmasters - confirm subset to reuse

Social mapping project - 1- or 2-part piece - check w/ Julia

Grandmother project - 2- or 3-part piece - check w/ Julia (and is there more to that awesome series?)

Other Africa

So. Africa case studies

Peru and Uruguay

Oscar B's piece on the IADB study?

You said that Uruguay and Peru produce a ton of content on a continuous basis. I'm struggling a bit with how we can easily get the content and translate it into English. Giulia - could Olga help? I don't want to burden her with more work. Maybe we do this every 2-3 months.
