XO Austin

Austin Area Jabber Collaboration Server

(Experimental but Functional) server name : opteron.9grid.us

To setup your XO, open the terminal activity and type:

   sugar-control-panel -s jabber opteron.9grid.us

It will tell you how to reset your interface so it'll hook up to the new collaboration server.

There's also a user's list here.

TODO: local content server, wiki, and what not.

1/11/2008 UPDATE: Note new server address (changed from olpc.texas.9grid.us to opteron.9grid.us)

Sat Feb 23rd 10:00am meeting at the Spicewood Springs library ([[1]])

We had a nice time at the library and worked with both the Mesh Network and the Jabber server. Turns out, you can be on both at the same time.

I hadn't seen this many XOs in the Neighborhood until now!

We discussed GirlStart [[2]] in Austin starting a development effort for the XO and how we might be able to help by lending hardware. Anne Gentle will contact someone on staff at GirlStart to see how we can help. Edited to add: Anne talked to Clare Richardson at GirlStart, and they have enough XOs for their projects. Their computer game showcase is April 26th from 11-12:30 at the Silicon Laboratories Lobby, see http://www.girlstart.org/itgirl/showcase/ for details.

We wondered aloud whether there will be an XO meetup at SXSW. Whurley is talking about a XO DevCamp at BarCamp Austin but we weren't sure of the interest level or what could be done there. Ideas welcome. See Upcoming Event for BarCamp for more details on BarCamp.

Updated to add: we are getting together at Las Manitas Sunday afternoon around 12:30. RSVP at One Laptop Per Child XO at SxSWi meetup on Upcoming.org

Mikus mentioned a suspend mode and encouraged us to apply for developer's keys.

The kids had yummy cupcakes and some adults had their share as well. Added pictures to the two flickr groups, OLPC and XO photos.

I'm interested in getting together with other folks in Austin. I'd prefer central. How about the Starbucks @ 45th & Lamar. Steve Sanderson 20 April 2008
Hi, I got my XO 2months ago and I am getting interested in activity development. Unfortunately I can't make it tomorrow but I hope to make it to the next meeting. Meanwhile, if people need help with specific activity testing, please share.Vasilis 22 April
