To hear about our events, subscribe: http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-nz

Look at laptop.org.nz for current events in New Zealand.

Main contacts: Tabitha, Brenda, Tim, Alastair

Upcoming Education and OLPC conference in Wellington New Zealand: /LCA2010 January 18th to 23rd 2010.

Wellington group

The Wellington Testers is a group that gets together each Saturday mid-morning at a cafe (currently Southern Cross) to drink coffee and test-drive the latest version of the software for the XO.

NZTesters-photo5.jpg

We keep notes of the things we try, of the things that work well, and of the bugs we find. We post the notes to the development list, including all the things that did work (this makes programmers happy, after all, most of them are volunteers). For the bugs, we try our best to find steps to reproduce, and diagnose them.

To join in the testing action, you can find us in New Zealand's capital, Wellington, testing at Southern Cross, 35 Abel Smith Street on Saturdays from 10.30am/11.00am until our fingers don't work anymore. Check out the Cross

Who are we? Curious kids of various ages - some of us are involved in education, others in technology.

Auckland group

Meeting every second Saturday at 11:00 am at the Windsor Castle 144 Parnell Road. Considering other venue options for other days as the testing group grows. Contact tabitha@tabitha.net.nz for more information.


Suz & Tamara Olliver are looking at creating an OLPC owners group to meet up in Auckland and Wellington to review progress, show off what we are doing, generally socialise and probably eat curry. Our domain is olliver.family.gen.nz and email addresses are of the form <firstname>@<domain>. Please feel free to email us. Vik has been working on a one reprap per child project and is now an established supplier of viewfinders for XOs. He prints them on the RepRap using an XO to drive the printer. Watch the Video to see for yourself

Computer Clubhouse Manukau City NZ

Is looking at deploying a 1-1 Learning Programme in Otara Manukau City

Moodle Developers

NZTesters-photo4.jpg

A team of Moodle developers led by Martin Langhoff @ Catalyst has been working on several aspects of the OLPC project.

At the moment, I am working on an OpenID implementation for Moodle, and doing some work on the School Server (XS). Others, more hardware tinkerers, have been playing with the ATest1 and B2 machines and debugging OS problems. At the moment there is a custom Moodle branch for OLPC in my development tree, and that is where my work is concentrated. (Martin Langhoff)

What else is going on?

NZTesters-photo7.jpg

Tabitha has issued a Call For Papers for the education miniconf we're running at the LCA2010 conference mid January next year

We're testing the full activity bundle for the upcoming Peru deployment

Some kind folks in Sydney are rounding up unused dust gathering XOs from the LCA2007 giveaway to ship to Wellington.

We are working on a translation to Maori in Pootle.
