Weekly Updates

I will keep a log here of my progress each week.

Week of 6/2/2008

  • Starting to settle in here at OLPC Cambridge
  • Began setting up a demo XO that shows off many non-standard capabilities of the XO
    • Progress and goals can be found on the wiki page
  • Began discussing my future projects
    • Physics Game / Incredible Machine clone
    • IDE (based on Develop?)

Week of 6/9/2008

  • Continued work on the demo project
  • Began discussing with Brian about ways to attack physics projects
    • Decided we need to update elements
      • Elements is nice, but WIP
      • Isn't ready for use
      • However, pyBox2D not user friendly
  • Wrote a very simple elements demo for demo build

Week of 6/16/2008

  • Went to Joint Warfighting Conference with SJ, Seth, and Richard (from OLPC DC)
    • Gave demos to and informed conference goers about the project
    • Met many high up people with high levels of interest, including
      • Education board of AFCEA
      • Now retired but extremely influential member of AFCEA who brought AFCEA to the EU
      • Military personnel very interested in the project
  • Would really like to begin updating elements (possibly with Brian) next week
