FYI, Just found [[MotionDetection]], via a link off of olpcnews.org/forum , maybe adapting this to an Activity is a solution ? --[[User:Ixo|ixo]] 03:10, 21 February 2008 (EST) |
|||
=== Librivox === |
|||
I have volunteered for [[Librivox]] previously and really love their project. Not many people seem to be getting the Librivox recordings ready for the OLPC so I am starting to work on this. The materials need to be transcoded into Speex and trimmed as small as possible to save space. I hope to have some serious speex-fu by the time I'm done. |
|||
=== Flickr === |
|||
Flickr is a social media site for the display and sharing of digital pictures. There is a need to see what from that vast repository of photos (many with a Creative Commons -by license) could make it to the OLPC. I've started a group [http://flickr.com/groups/olpc/] that will eventually be the home of this project, although what form it may take I'm not sure. |
|||
== Social Media== |
|||
Several avenues of social media could be leveraged for support of the OLPC. A myspace user could be created that reposts community news via bulletins and serves as a Trendy method of showing support (see CC's myspace). A simple Facebook application could be created that RSS a feed of OLPC news, or a RSS feed of new OLPC photos. And Flickr could be leveraged as a Meme or as a content source. |
|||
Social media could be used to spread the word via Myspace bulletin memes and/or livejournal memes. Memes are self replicating ideas such as forwards or personal surveys that are passed on to one's friends. This isn't a very good description, but I will try to propose it later on when other projects are more fully formed. |
