== NEWS == |
|||
Check back this site often! You will need to fill in more details and an '''official submission''' again later. For now it is ok to collect information project descriptions below. |
|||
This will change as we move the whole thing into a DB. |
|||
== Who? == |
|||
The [[community]] of OLPC contributors includes many people working on |
|||
* outreach, |
|||
* testing, |
|||
* usability, |
|||
* content and |
|||
* software development, and |
|||
* hardware development and hacking, |
|||
which are improved by access to laptops. Software and hardware developers have long been able to get laptops through the [[Developers program|software developers program]]; we are opening this process up to all projects from the community aimed at furthering OLPC's mission. |
|||
== Contributors laptop program == |
|||
{{merge|Developers_program/tmp}} |
|||
To apply for laptops for your project or proposal, please add a brief project description below, and list the contributors and participants working on the project, and how laptops would be helpful. Indicate any relevant experience or collaborations (Sugar emulation, education, usability and interface design, work with children; research partnerships, school partnerships, &c.). |
|||
=== Proposing a new project === |
|||
Project name: |

|||
=== Applying for an XO === |
|||
To request one or more laptops for use in a project, please add to the end of the brief project description: |
|||
[If requesting XOs] Use of laptops to further the project: |
|||
The best way to contact you (wiki, email, &c) |
|||
When answering, consider: |
|||
* Have you tried emulation for this purpose? |
|||
* Could you use laptops for a limited time borrowed from a local community pool of machines? |
|||
* Similarly, would other projects be able to share these laptops, or would they be in constant use? |
|||
Indicate how many laptops, and what power supply or keyboard would be most appropriate, if relevant. |
|||
Please add a valid email address to your wiki account as one way to reach you. |
|||
=== Current applications === |

Project name: LX-700 hacking |
|||
Projekt proposer: Thorsten Haas |
|||
Other contributors: - |
|||
Project audience or impact: OLPC proper - new functionalities in the XO |
|||
Project description and relevant experience: |
|||
See [[Projects/lx700video]] |

Need for laptops: 1 |
|||
==== Software Defined Radio ==== |
|||
Project name: Software Defined Radio |
|||
Projekt proposer: Thomas Kleffel |
|||
Other contributors: - |
|||
Project audience or impact: OLPC could be used as shortwave data/audio receiver in remote areas |
|||
Project description and relevant experience: |
|||
The basic Idea would be to attach a cheap SDR design to the OLPC. |
|||
USB and/or audio line in would be good for that. |
|||
Such hardware is already available, for example [[http://www.amqrp.org/kits/softrock40/]], [[http://www.andreadrian.de/sdr/]], [[http://www.b-kainka.de/sdrusb.html]]. |
|||
While the OLPC doesn't have enough processing power to support sophisticated digital |
|||
modulation like COFDM it will probably work for narrow band data transmission like PSK31. |
|||
Need for laptops: 1 |
|||
==== Internet via GSM ==== |
|||
Project name: GSM 4 XO |
|||
Project proposer: Olaf Emcke |
|||
Other contributors: - |
|||
Project audience or impact: Use a mobile to access internet via GSM |
|||
Project description: [[Projects/gsm4xo]] |
|||
Need for laptops: 1 |
|||
==== Budget Robotics Kit ==== |
|||
Project name: Robotics Kit |
|||
Projet proposer: Willibald Palatin |
|||
Other contributors: Chris |
|||
Project impact: Possibility to play with sensors and actuators |
|||
Project description: Build a budget robotics controller, based on the ATMega series (possibly use an arduino board). |
|||
Connected via USB, open source and easily assemble- and programmable, with a |
|||
simple GTK interface. At least 10 pins to read sensor values or send/pulse +5V DC. |
|||
==== Develop Teaching the Teachers to teach with OLPC ==== |
|||
Project name: Teach Teachers to teach |
|||
Projet proposer: B-Ranger (@web.de) |
|||
Other contributors: |
|||
Project impact: If you want Teachers in OLPC-Use-Areas to use the olpc in class you first need them to know what |
|||
they can do. That for you may want to develop ideas for them and a introduction that makes the teacher enthusiastic |
|||
about the olpc so that she/he can 'infect' her/his pupils. And for developing that "teach-the-teacher" you may want |
|||
to have a presentation, test and try-object. |
|||
The idea is to develop a program that teaches german/austrian (teaching) students, so they can take the olpc to a |
|||
foreign country and tell the ppl (esp. the local teachers) about it and show them the benefits. |
