1. Cambridge: A third Learning Workshop was held at OLPC this past week. There was excellent attendance and participation; a real network of laptop learning activists is forming. Workshop attendees are not merely listening but are contributing to the conceptual basis of practice in schools and communities. There was a blend between the conceptual and practical concepts, and the localities beginning will help innovate the learning environments and communities of the 21st century. The presentation by Dr. Felton Earls and Maya Carlson of the Harvard School of Public Health on participatory surveys and indicators for community development as well as their work in Tanzania and Chicago was inspirational. The Learning team of Edith Ackermann, Ed Baafi, Fatimata Seye Sylla, Juliano Bittencourt, Elana Langer, Julain Daily, Cynthia Solomon, Alice Cavallo, and David Cavallo contributed mightily. Special thanks for support especially to Felice Gardner, as well as Tracy Price and Jennifer Amaya. As always, a highlight is the Activity Open House where developers demonstrate their activities on the XO.

2. G1G1: During the reconciliation process of the “get” laptops shipped during Give One Get One, a number of unfulfilled order records were uncovered. The OLPC team has been working hard with our partners to resolve all open issues. We expect another ~5000 XO laptops will be shipped on Monday. The remaining orders pose an extra challenge as they either have incomplete or no shipping and contact information. If you have not yet received your XO laptop, you should be getting an individualized email that addresses your specific situation. If you are scheduled to receive your laptop next week, you will also be getting a follow-up email with tracking information. We'll be adding additional phone lines and shifting agents to reduce wait times. A further reconciliation of the data will be conducted this week, although hopeful, we can anticipate additional incomplete orders. Our apologies for these delays.

3. Ulaan Baatar: Enkhmunkh Zurgaanjin, Carla Gomez Monroy, Jan Jungclaus, and RedHat’s David Woodhouse are working hard to set up a structure that can provide sustainability to the project in Mongolia such that it can spread it throughout the country. On Wednesday, the Minister of Education visited the school for the “laptop hand out” event. On Friday, an optical-fiber cable was set up, in spite of the extreme low temperatures; on Saturday, the schools were connected to the Internet. David has been working with a group of local technical people on the servers and Internet set up infrastructure as well as on configuration. John Watlington has been providing support remotely from OLPC.

We have been meeting almost every evening with the strategic team of the Ministry of Education to provide feedback and sort out challenges. We met yesterday with the Ministry of Education team, teachers, principals, ICTA, content team and pilot research team to provide detailed feedback of how the project is going so far and to bring up things to be considered for the short and long terms.

Teachers are putting their hearts into the program. They had their first sessions with the children. Parents, too, have shown support. And the children, of course, love it. The Constructionist model of learning has found wide-spread support within the MoE.

There are more photos (See [[Ulaanbaatar]]) in our wiki.

4. School Server: John Watington reports that we have a new build which supports schools with multiple servers in a school and including a Jabber server! Build 150 was released, along with lengthy configuration notes (See [[XS Installing Software#OLPC XS 150]]).

The configuration interface is still stone knife and bear skin, but functionality appears to be there. We hope to have a build improving the configuration process and adding web caching by the end of next week.

David Woodhouse is in Ulaan Baatar, Mongolia helping Carla Gomez Monroy deploy school servers along with the laptops. The servers we shipped from Cambridge have arrived and are being installed. David has been handling the difficult task of positioning two servers (with six antennae) to cover a three-floor school. He is also facing the need to upgrade the laptops right away to avoid a networking meltdown. The good news is that the school is finally connected to the Internet; we can assist from Cambridge.

5: Firmware: Richard Smith fixed the “repeated game keys on resume bug” (Ticket #2401). During a resume, the main processor is not ready to receive key codes for about 100ms after the delivery of the SCI wakeup event. The EC dealt with this long delay badly. Fixing this should unblock ebook mode. Richard released a new EC code version that is available in Firmware Q2D09. This should show up in a signed Joyride build soon.

6. Battery issues: Richard did a large amount work on batman.fth; he added the ability to run a manual charge while watching voltage, current, and accumulated current registers. He received three laptops from the field with battery problems. One has a battery that just won't take a charge. The other two laptops won't recognize that the battery is present. Richard plans on tearing into these two machines next week to determine root cause. We need to discuss with Quanta what to do with problem batteries.

7. Schedules: Final testing for Ship2.2, Build 656, was held up this week as we tried to iron out some final details of the new process for “Unscheduled Software Release” (USR) (For those interested in process, please see [[Unscheduled software release process]]).

Update 1 is about to start the release process. Highlights include:
* suspend and resume is mostly, but not entirely implemented;
* Rainbow security is enabled;
* the Browse activity has been updated to use the technology in Firefox 3 Beta 2, which is significantly faster and better at memory usage. Innumerable bugs have been fixed. Performance is significantly improved. Memory and file leakage greatly improved.

Update.1RC1 (release candidate 1) is almost ready (Monday with luck). Joyride 1551 is very, very close to Update.1's contents, although it has some additional activities bundled in the base system that we do no plan to ship in Update.1. Please do test it, along with the new firmware version (Q2D09).

We will then start a testing cycle:
* suspend-and-resume cycling for reliability—during the run up to mass production the laptop was found to be able to reliably suspend and resume at least 50,000 cycles (the length of the tests we were willing to tolerate). We need to ensure there are not software or firmware regressions in this area.
* scaling tests—we need to ensure sane behavior of the systems in circumstances such as 300 children resuming their laptops all at once in the morning.
* verification of power use in different use states, on our power measurement systems;
* wireless driver testing and upgrade testing;
* testing with the school-server software;

RC2 (release candidate 2) will pick up additional translations and key bug fixes that missed RC1. The community is working to complete the Spanish translation, which was not complete by the string freeze date due to the holidays. There will therefore be a refresh of packages to complete the translations. Activity developers should only be picking up translations (and fixes for approved bugs).

RC3 (release candidate 3) is intended to pick up critical bug fixes discovered during testing, and is the first candidate that is a real candidate for widespread release.

Joyride will be reopened for the start of Update.2 development later
this week.

8. Testing: Chih-yu Chao has created the Update.1 Test page, which outlines the major features and bug fixes of this release and links to the test cases to be run and their results (See [[Update.1]]). The goal is to have enough planning and information around this release to be able to ask for help from the development and test community over the next two weeks to really hammer on the release. If we can do it, this will be the first release that gets organized, methodical community testing. Keep tuned to your email for more information (testing, devel, sugar mailing lists).

Yani Galanis is back from a short hiatus and has jumped right back into various wireless testing and debug activities. So far he is happy with David Woodhouse's rewrite of the wireless driver. He has fixed some problems with olpc-netstatus so it will accurate report the laptop's network and mesh configurations. He was able to get olpc-netlog working again (with Noah Kantrowitz's help) to zip up the logs, and olpc-netcapture to capture network traffic.

9. Support: This week, when all the laptops to Give One Get One donors were anticipated to have been delivered, Kim Quirk suggested we ask people to send email if they are still waiting for their laptop. When we hit 100 emails in less than a day, it became obvious that were dealing with a much larger problem than anyone at OLPC had imagined. This prompted some quick meetings between the companies involved in the order processing and distribution to try to get a handle on the scope of the problem and how to fix it fast. We learned about orders that could not be matched up between daily and monthly reports, orders that do not have enough information to ship, addresses that couldn't be verified, PO boxes, and miscellaneous other issues—about 10% of the total order volume. Adam Holt's support gang (up to 55 people now!) were inundated by mid-week with donor information requests, as was the Donor Services 800 number. Adam recruited two of the volunteers, Sandy Culver and Steve Holton, to join Greg Babbin and Adam to access the shipping database to help answer these requests.

Thanks to the entire support team who have been working day and night to respond to these extra requests!

10. Datastore: Ivan Krstić ran a Journal/datastore summit at OLPC this week. In attendance through out the week were Marco Pesenti Gritti, Tomeu Vizoso, Eben Eliason, Erik Blankinship, and Bert Freudenberg. A number of other members of the core team and the community joined periodically. It was a very productive week: the team nailed down almost all the details required before a first pass at implementation can begin. But before we do so, and while we continue conversations about the new API, Ivan will publish specification in the next few weeks for a round of public discussion. Look forward to a new object model, a refined set of interactions, and new features such as versioning and action-based journal entries.

11. Sugar activities: Arjun Sarwal incorporated sensor input into Turtle Art this week. One can control any aspect of the Turtle's motion based on sensor input. The next step is to integrate the concept into a Turtle Art “block” (See [[Measure#Sensor Input into Turtle Art]]).

Arjan has been talking to educators and teachers how they can organize some activities around the Measure Activity. He has also spoke with representatives of the Illinois Math and Science Academy (IMSA) chapter who have made a video documentary of experiments with sound using the Measure Activity (See [[Illinois Math and Science Academy Chapter]]).

Manusheel Gupta is investigating options for building a spreadsheet actvitiy for the XO. Python-powered spreadsheet (PPSS) seems to be a good choice for integrating into the Sugar environment, while perhaps pulling in some features from GNumeric. Eben Eliason will be discussing the ideas on the UI of the spreadsheet during the coming week. (See http://olivier.friard.free.fr/software/ppss/index.php).

Simon Schampijer fixed an error in the download handling within the Browse activity (Ticket #6018). Dan Williams and Simon finally think we have a good solution for “airplane mode”, e.g., operation with the radio off. A new network manager went into Joyride-1548 and the sugar rpm is building.

Simon does not really understand what happens in regard to reports that Browse is running slow after an update to Update.1 (Ticket #6046) (as opposed to a clean install).

Eva Schroth successfully conducted an interview using the XO laptop’s Record activity: after modifying some constants, she was able to record a one-hour conversation.

On the Etoys front, most of the core team members visited Poitiers, France this week; an IEEE conference called C5 was held. Many researchers, educators and Squeakers who are interested in collaboration and education met together and had interesting conversation. Bert, in response to Arjun’s Turtle Art demonstration, exposed some code in Etoys to enable the microphone level to be used as a data stream within scripts.

12. System software medley: Giannis Galanis contributed network fixes to olpc-utils that solve two Update.1 blockers. Phil Bordelon sent a tool to cleanup orphan Journal previews, which was also an Update.1 blocker.

FFM packaged up the python-gasp, an API wrapper for pygame for new programmers, which has just gone through the Fedora review process.

Chris Ball worked on OHM timing code, and with Reinier Heeres on fixing “ebook mode” to work inside Rainbow.

Reinier Heeres mostly worked on improving and build-testing of some bugfixes of last week. He also activated the new build announcer script, which needed a few minor fixes. For Sugar he fixed an issue with the stop button disappearing when rotating the screen (#5824), and for Read the eBook suspend problem (#1396).

Andres Salomon mostly worked on the touchpad driver this week and has made great progress on fixing problems, and improving its behavior. More importantly, Andres work made clear we should use the tablet sensor in relative mode by default, a conceptual breakthrough that had eluded us. A test kernel with the new driver is available here:
http://dev.laptop.org/~dilinger/master/kernel-latest.i586.rpm.

13. Presence: Dafydd Harries spent most of this week again working on the Jabber server component. A large part of this was working out how to effectively expose the person/activity information that the component will store over XMPP. Dafydd thinks he has a reasonable protocol; he plans to set up a test server that we can measure performance against.

Robert McQueen attended an introductory conference call with Ivan and Jon Herzog about collaboration and security; they are planning a specification-writing fest in late February.

Morgan Collett has been going through the wiki getting the references to Presence, Telepathy, and Tubes up to date, and working on a more
comprehensive reference for Presence Service. Morgan also modified Chat to make sure web links copied to the clipboard can be pasted in Write, Web location bar, and Terminal (Ticket #6066). That patch will land when the Spanish translation of Chat is complete.

Guillaume Desmottes continued work on Hyperactivity, a collaboration
stress-testing tool (Ticket #5817). It is now able to create/join/leave activities, set up and use D-Bus tubes. Guillaume started to test Salut using it and discovered some interesting bugs; most of them are already fixed.

14. Localization: Bernie Innocenti has been doing some integration work with Manusheel Gupta on Devanagari input support, but it seems there's more work to do, especially in the Write activity. Bernie met with Lidet Tilahun for a roundup on our Ethiopian support, and filed a bunch of bugs out of it. Lidet will contribute translations in Pootle.

Sayamindu Dasgupta reports that we have new teams for Dari, Fula and Telugu. He also tracked down a problem in Pootle that was preventing him from updating the PO files in the XO Bundled project. This has been quite difficult to trace down. The rest of the week was spent on more mundane things:
* he polished and debugged the various helper scripts that is used to run Pootle more smoothly;
* he helped Simon cross check the list of languages that are given as options by the sugar-control-panel (In the process, they identified a few languages that would require new locales to be added to glibc in order to be supported);
* he helped a number of users get started with the translations; and
* he added Slider Puzzle to Pootle.

Dr. Habib Khan reports that localization into Pashto is in final phase and that after some confusion on the Pootle server in regard to Dari and Farsi, progress in being made there as well.

15. Build system: Dennis Gilmore submitted patches to rpm enabling support for the AMD Geode. He has done some work on koji in preparation for supporting us. Patches will be submitted next week for upstream inclusion. These add Geode support and allowing us to pull upstream builds into our instance. Once initial support is in koji, Dennis want to add support to allow .xo building. This would result in a side effect that we get a .src.rpm and .noarch.rpm out of the process

We will need to have a git tree setup that will mimic Fedora’s cvs for things that we keep out of Fedora.

Dennis and Michael Stone looked at possibly using livecd-tools for Update.2: what would be involved in it and if its worth the effort.

This week, Michael talked with Bernie, Scott, and Dennis on ways to improve build infrastructure, offered occasional questions in the Journal
summit, and diagnosed the 'upgrade-server can't download builds' bug.

Update.1 is mostly synced up with Joyride. There are a few small pieces that need to be finished. As noted, we are very close to having an Update.1

16. Content: The inclusion of the Doom activity in the wiki has sparked a healthy email discussion about content and filtering. Although heated at times, it has generally been productive. The gist of the debate revolves around the twin issues of (1) should OLPC be adjudicating what is appropriate content and (2) how should content be tagged such that children, parents, teachers, and others can make informed decisions about what content they access.

Suggestions have ranged from adopting “Terms of Use” such as those found on the Scratch website (http://scratch.mit.edu/terms) to fleshing out our guidelines ([[Activity guidelines]]) to making it easier for community members to search and sort favorites (requiring possible extentions to MediaWiki).

This discussion is by no means over, but please continue the thread on the olpc-open <olpc-open@lists.laptop.org> list rather than devel, which is intended for discussion of technical rather than policy topics.

17. OLPC Health: Arjun Sarwal continues his efforts to organize the community in medical and health applications around the XO laptop. He reports that we have a growing list of volunteers in three areas:
:(1) Creating a Library/repository of information that would be shipped on the XO laptop as part of the default software on it. This would be a ready reference for preliminary diagnosis of diseases and a reference for symptoms. This would also include general information on an array of topics such as hygiene, nutrition, balanced diets, etc.
:(2) Developing software that asks the user a series of questions and helps in a preliminary diagnosis. Links to useful websites and online portals.
:(3) Developing and using hardware peripherals that connect to the XO laptop. These include, but are not limited to the build-in camera (with the possibility of add-on optical elements; an EKG; and a pulse oxymeter.

18. Activity Handbook: Christoph Derndorfer reports that the first few chapters of an Activity Handbook are finished. The purpose of this handbook is to provide all the information needed in order to get started with software development for the OLPC XO. The current draft includes the first four chapters:
:1. Welcome to the Activity Handbook!
:2. Introduction to Sugar
:3. Preparation
:4. Sugar Basics

Christoph et alia will be expanding the handbook over the coming weeks to include chapters about using the Journal, collaboration, using the various XO input devices, and “Sugarizing” software. (Please see
http://www.olpcaustria.org/mediawiki/index.php/Activity_handbook and
http://www.olpcaustria.org/mediawiki/upload/a/af/Handbook_20080113.pdf).

19. Hello World: In a related effort, Chris Hager and Jaume Nualart report that they have created two new tutorials (during a “pizza-and-beer” coding session) for creating Activities with PyGTK, one of them using Glade (See [[PyGTK/Hello World Tutorial]]).
Chris and Jaume are using activity.py as a wrapper, which loads the code and GTK interface from gtktest.py. This way, very little code is required to get a PyGTK Activity running in Sugar—just six lines in gtktest.py—and PyGTK Activities can run as standalone versions on any Linux system by default.

Example Bundles:
:http://wiki.laptop.org/images/b/ba/Gtktest.xo
:http://wiki.laptop.org/images/0/02/Gtktest-glade.xo

20. Mongolia: Dave Woodhouse is in Mongolia setting up servers in two schools, which as been an educational experience. Firstly, the wireless penetration through the walls they have here to cope with temperatures of –40°C is fairly dismal—Dave reports that we are having to use a lot of active antennae to get the coverage we need. We're laying them out as if they were “normal” access points, to try to get coverage of all the rooms they'll be teaching the 2nd–5th grades in. Hopefully, the nature of the mesh will improve coverage.

To start with, each school will have five antennae, with two servers. That setup will be re-evaluated when it's fully deployed and tested in the classrooms. It is physically installed in one school so far, and fully
cabled (including CAT5 to the other rooms where they have computers). The other school should be similarly set up by the end of Monday.

21. Pakistan: Habib reports progress on the e-book project in Islamabad. Eight elementary text books based on curriculum of the Federal Ministry of Education, Islamabad have been made into e-text books.

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. 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).

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。
6. Embedded controller (組込コントローラ): Richard SmithはSCI mask corruption problem (チケット #5467)で作業をしました。EC command implementationが原因の元なので極めて深刻なバグでした。Richardの証言ではとうとうグレムリンを倒したと思っているそうです。 元の実装ではロスしていたインタラプトに頼っていました。 その結果ECは最善でデータのプロセスが出来ず、最悪では完全にコマンドのプロセスを停止しました。この場合で解決方はこの不要なインタラプトをまるごと取り除くことです。Richardは変わりにpolling shemeを実装しました。現在コードは彼の全テストをパスして、最適化れていない状態でもスピードは早くなっています。 ホストはサスペンド前後に多くのECコマンドを出し、各ミリセカンドも欠かせないほど重要ですので、スピード高速化は大切です。Richardの頼みでは、彼の解決法をテストしてくれる参加者がいるならファームウェアをリリース Q2D08A (より高)にアップグレードしてくださいと申しています。

8. More magic from Benjamin M. Schwartz: Ben has made a DOS Console activity based on Wine (See [http://dev.laptop.org/~bemasc/DOSConsole-1.xo]). 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 [http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/xo-excel.jpg]).
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. 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 [http://codeforacause.net]).
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.

9. Batteries (バッテリー): バッテリーが充電してないと言うレポートが現地から数々届いています。
olpc-logbatから来るほとんどの内容は共通しています: XOはバッテリーが空っぽの状態でも満タンと報告して充電と停止する。 その結果ラップトップをバッテリー電源に切り替えると電量は15%以上ですが、電圧が最低レベル以下になり、警告もなしに停止してしまいます。あるケースではシャットダウンは数秒でするほど早く、また別の例では10から20分ほど持ちます。

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 ([http://www.olpcnews.com/software/operating_system/sugar_on_classmate_pc.html]) using the LiveCD. Additional information is available (in German) on linux-user.com (See [http://www.linux-user.de/ausgabe/2008/04/024/]).
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. 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 ([http://www.olpcnews.com/software/operating_system/sugar_on_classmate_pc.html] ) 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 [http://www.linux-user.de/ausgabe/2008/04/024/] をご覧下さい)。
Richardはユーザが充電量フィールドを'low'(少ない)に戻すことによって、ECが充電を始めるようbatman.fthにある程度の改良を追加しました。一人にユーザがこのユーティリティを試した結果: データによるとバッテリーの電圧は10秒の間に少なくて5V-6Vから7.4V以上の満タンしきい値まで飛び上がります。テストを三回くり返した結果、一つの実験でバッテリーは通常に充電し始めましたが、急に満タンに達しました。ECコードは正常に動いているようですが、何かがバッテリーの抵抗を急激に増加しているようです。この問題はバッテリーかまたは、XOの製造不良かどっちかです。この問題は充電回路の不良接続みたいに大変小さな事でも原因となる可能性があります。

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.

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.

David Woodhouseは近いうちにアップストリームに届き2.6.25に入るuninfsのパッチを調べました。その内にFedoraカーネルに入ると思いますので、もう少しそれで遊んでみます。それらは下層にあるファイルシステムに何も変更もなしで使えるます。それで、whiteouts (上層のファイルシステムが下層にあるオブジェクトをアクティブに削除する)は少しハックになりますが、一応修正できます。 デザイン的にファイルシステムからなにも特別に必要としない事は良い考えで、きれいに出来ると思い、ただ今まで誰もしなかっただけです。

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.

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.

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.)

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.
