OLPC talk:Xoxo

Leave thoughts and tentative submissions here. put real submissions directly onto Das Seite an sich

planet.olpc.org

Looks like the domain <olpc.org> has been squatted... and thus the link to <planet.olpc.org> links to a generic catch-all... I also assumed (correctly, I hope) that the intended link to the OLPC blogs was planet.laptop.org... please check. Cheers, --Xavi 22:12, 3 June 2007 (EDT)

SJ comments / guidelines on IRC

[15:42:18] <_sj|> mnch, xavi : please contribute!  on the talk page or elsewhere 
[15:44:44] <_sj|> mnch: there's an easy way to have sth like xoxo that people could
                  subscribe to... a wikibot could post latest headlines to their 
                  talkpages
[15:44:58] <_sj|> and then they would get rss feed updates or an email ping if they
                  have 'email notif'  for talk pages set
[15:45:44] <_sj|> I'd really like to launch it this week
[15:45:53] <_sj|> and be able to commit to publishing ~5 times a week
[15:46:02] <_sj|> but I need a few co-editors to post updates from the wiki and
                  mailing lists
[15:46:10] <_sj|> someone to do a weekly review of devel and sugar, for instance,
                  would be most useful
[15:46:29] <_sj|> and someone to do a review of RC   [this week: 300 new pages in
                  olpc korea.  10 new  pages for software activities...]
[15:46:42] <_sj|> maybe php5 could help with this, since he monitors newpages for
                  things to translate
[15:46:55] <_sj|> I mean little things.  sugar bugs fixed, new contacts made, new
                  groups making an activity
[15:47:15] <_sj|> better put, News would then have a more reliable source of info
                  to include in the  more polished broadcast of what's going on
[15:47:28] <_sj|> anything interesting should make a show in xoxo
[15:47:38] <_sj|> just half a line, or a link in a list of links
[15:47:49] <_sj|> every developer could try to post a line a few times a week about
                  what they are working on
[15:48:08] <_sj|> regular meetings, on wiki or on irc or by phone, woudl get a line
                  with a link to any minutes
[15:48:08] <_sj|> &c
[15:48:29] <_sj|> good blog posts or news articles would get a link and part of a
                  line, from olpc-planet and other
[15:49:01] <_sj|> I'm thinking 1) summaries (a. mailing list  b. irc c. wiki)
[15:49:35] <_sj|> 2) updates (a. activities  b. partner projects  c. schools  
                  d. events/presentations)
[15:50:12] <_sj|> 3) ongoing discussions (a. blogs  b. vision/philosophy  c. feedback)
[15:51:05] <_sj|> 4) participation (a. code status  b. content creation 
                  c. art/outreach)
[15:51:53] <_sj|> ...snip... let me know if you're interested in volunteering for
                  some of the above as regular updates
