Wikimania

Things to demo

Please help us figure out what to demo on the laptops during Wikimania, and how. We will have a number of them around, so mesh network stuff would be excellent to show off.

Overall notes

• Hand + alt + = -> developers' console
• Ctrl + alt + erase -> restart sugar
• su gets you into root, no password needed

To install a new activity

• put it on a thumb drive
• mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
• cp -r /mnt/Whatever.activity/ /usr/share/activities
• umount /dev/sda1
• restart sugar

Measure (ready)

• logs stored as flat text files
• whistling a good demo for fft
• no mesh

Write (ready?)

• functional test passes
• check... can we do collaboration?

Chat (ready)

• check... can I start my own chat?

Journal

• Functional test passes
• can't figure out how to associate activities to same project, another XO

Library

• Mini-wikipedia
• How to make a package
• Chinese-language packages

Mesh networking

As of build 536, laptops should automatically join a MESH network (without internet connectivity, however). Once the laptop is powered up, it takes a few minutes to configure itself, but eventually olpcA and olpcB should be able to see eachother.

Generic MESH application sharing instructions: Have two laptops connected to MESH. Start the application on olpcA, and share it by changing the drop down in the top right corner from private to my neighborhood. Shortly after, olpcB should be able to see the write application shared from the neighborhood view.

• Connect4 - This game works over MESH, however scores aren't recorded or kept.
• Write - This application works over MESH. Users can simultaneously edit the same document.

• what games can we play to demo this? memorize?
• Lincoln's docs on tubes in pygame

Games

• 3d pong, if I can get it working
• Kuku
• Rule?

Hardware coolness

• display
• ruggedness
• lightweight
