== Art and such == |
|||
Hiya, your art looks fantastic! I'd love for you to get involved in [[Community:Art]] - there are a lot of open art projects at [[Art Wanted]] that could use a little love. Feel free to ping me if you have any questions or comments. |

== Tue Feb 26 == |
|||
Hello Diane, |
|||
The group would be welcome at our offices Tuesday after hours, say some time after 5:30. |
|||
How many people do you expect? It helps us to have names in advance that we can leave for the desk downstairs. --[[User:Sj|Sj]] [[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] 15:53, 18 February 2008 (EST) |
|||
: sj, I don't know the total count and names yet, but last month there was about 15 people. I will get the info to you ASAP.--[[User:AuntiMame|AuntiMame]] 15:54, 18 Feb 2008 |

== Shirt screening == |
|||
Depends on what we want to do - I've done events that involved silkscreening, and it's not generally a one day process. You have to prepare the screens ahead of time, get ahold of shirts, screen them, let them dry, and then distribute them. I'd also be careful with multicolored designs, since lining screens up can be tricky. However, if we get a small number of designs and people want to make shirts for themselves, that would be doable. |

== "includeonly" categories in templates == |
|||
So that the template does not get listed as a "boston area user", but everyone who includes that template on their userpage does, there is a category that is bracketed within "< includeonly >" tags. You left the <tt>Category:</tt> out of its title. [http://wiki.laptop.org/index.php?title=Template%3AUser_Boston&diff=112663&oldid=112644 here's the diff]. --[[User:Sj|Sj]] [[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] 15:21, 27 February 2008 (EST) |

== Next Boston meetup? == |
|||
Hi Diane, I'm talking to Rachel Hunt who is planning a service trip for her scohol to Costa Rica in mid-April and thinking about bringing some XOs along. She'd like to get input from the community and from people who have their own ideas, or have brought their XOs into local schools. If there's a boston meetup before April 12 or so that would be perfect; otherwise perhaps we could get a few interested people together... what do you think? --[[User:Sj|Sj]] [[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] 17:25, 23 March 2008 (EDT) |

== XO Repair Shops -- graphical guidelines / icons / templates == |
|||
You are good at this! (Just from looking at your user page).<br> |
|||
And in some email of yours to some mailing list I believe I saw you mention your affinity to hardware / repair / spare parts (you also mentioned a web shop).<br> |
|||
Could you please click on [[Art_wanted]] and have a look at the new XO Repair Shop line item?<br> |
|||
The Birmingham Shop will be opening for business on April 21st. The last conference call with Adam indicated that there will be more comming and all could benefit from some corporate design elements. |

Thank you, your work got incorporated. You may want to give<br>{{Template:User blank|[[Image:repair1_40x40.png]]|This user runs an XO Repair Shop.}}<br><br><br>a trial run in your olpc userbox section. Adapt as you like. Here you can find a [[media:XO_Repair_Flyer.odt|sample flyer]].<br>[[User:TTown|Stefan]] 22:54, 4 May 2008 (EDT) |

== ILXO == |
|||
We're looking for space in the Chicagoland area - any ideas or tips on how to find/negotiate-for a great short-term (3 month) lease? I'm new to this... [[User:Mchua|Mchua]] 21:46, 12 May 2008 (EDT) |

== thanks for cleaning up wad's speech! == |
|||
I was way too tired of staring at my screen afterwards to go back and catch typos, so thanks for doing that. :) [[User:Mchua|Mchua]] 22:23, 22 May 2008 (EDT) |
|||
== interested in stocking parts? == |
|||
Thanks for the offer, Diane! Can you put that info into the survey so we have it all in one place when Adam, Kim, and I go through things next week? [[User:Mchua|Mchua]] 09:53, 23 May 2008 (EDT) |

== Getting a Boston Pilot Started == |
|||
Hey Diane, I met you at the Cosi meet up tonight. Let me know when we can meet up towards the end of this week, or beginning of next week. Send me an email at firstname.lastname[at]yale.edu |

Thanks for correcting the name. ;) It's been a long, long day... [[User:Mchua|Mchua]] 10:03, 10 June 2008 (EDT) |

== One Velociraptor Per Child == |
|||
Can you get shirts printed with the OVPC design on them? It's becoming quite popular, and a lot of people have shown interest (the ILXO office is pretty unanimously interested, for starters). |

== vandal-bot == |
|||
Looks to me like a bot that looked at recent changes and hit the talk and user pages on any recent editor. In any event, that IP is blocked for now and all vandalism is un-done. [[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 17:19, 1 July 2008 (UTC) |

== Source? == |
|||
What did you create those PDF's in? It would be nice to have your source doc's so they could be more easily edited. Inkscape? [[User:Sethwoodworth|Seth]] 12:44, 2 July 2008 (UTC) |
|||
== XFCE on XO == |
|||
I saw that your friend that you're setting up dual boot with was looking for XFCE. (Keith?). The latest joyrides actually include XFCE as well as Sugar. This is really new as of something like 2230. Which is pretty exciting news IMO. [[User:Sethwoodworth|Seth]] 07:21, 6 August 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:Actually it's the [http://xs-dev.laptop.org/~cscott/xo-1/streams/faster/ faster] builds with XFCE, not joyride. --[[User:Morgs|morgs]] 12:11, 12 August 2008 (UTC) |

== 08/08/2008 - StarChart documentation page changes == |
|||
I see you made some changes to the StarChart activity documentation page [[StarChart]]. It appears that the result didn't quite go as planned: in addition to a nicely-formatted form, there's a lot of "trash" just above it. |
|||
Is this supposed to be a new style for activiy documentation? Is there a "user guide" for this? |
|||
== 09/03/2008 - Solitare for the XO == |
|||
I use PySol on my XO. It provides a number of games, but I find FreeCell the most addictive. It's not Sugar-coated, but it runs fine from Terminal. It's a little tricky to install because it needs a library. Instructions: |
|||
<br> |
|||
* drop to Terminal |
|||
* #su -l |
|||
* #yum install libtk8.4.so |
|||
* #yum install PySolFC |
|||
<br> |
|||
Then when you want to play, |
|||
<br> |
|||
* drop to Terminal |
|||
* #PySol |

== bot assisted categorization, 7c == |
|||
you may want to use something like Twinkle to help you make bulk edits... and you may want to set up a bot account for doiong these sorts of updates if it becomes a habit. --[[User:Sj|Sj]] [[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] 02:30, 8 September 2008 (UTC) |
|||
: Sorry, you can install twinkle js libraries to help you edit... I don't think they are bots, that was just a misread. Getting an account marked as a bot just takes a request at [[OLPC:requests]], at which point its edits are hidden by default from RC. --[[User:Sj|Sj]] [[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] |
