Re: [math4] Activity: adding/subtracting whole numbers
I am forwarding this to our systems list, where the sysadmins hang out. Please feel free to join. In the past, we have had problems with git.sugarlabs.org blacklisting certain ssh keys. git.sl.o is hosted on a donate machine at osl ( http://osuosl.org/ ) My very vague recollection is that a security parameter was set to tightly... and causing certain keys to be blocked. The error message looked similarly non helpful. (to me) Would anyone else from math4 mind looking into this? I believe the second lecture of the class at RIT will include a walk through on how to setup and upload a project on git.l.org. FWIW, using git as a version control system is actually pretty easy and very useful. But creating the key and getting stated can be a pain. david On Sat, Aug 29, 2009 at 11:54 AM, John Posnerjjpos...@optimum.net wrote: Shawn Willden wrote: Wesley's origin was aliased to gitori...@git.sugarlabs.org:yourproject/yourbranch.git So I'm guessing you want to substitute 'gitorious' for 'git'.

I just pulled Qualitative Arithmetic and Mathematics with Numbers in Color, Book A off my book shelf. I also have a couple of other books that came with my original (c. 1969) set of Cuisenaire Rods, including the very nice Using the Cuisenaire Rods -- A Photo/Text Guide for Teachers, by Jessica Davidson. I was a big fan of the New Math in the 60s and 70s, but my career in math education got detoured into software technical writing. So now my educational work is on the hobby level, not the professional level. It's certainly fair to say that the Cuisenaire Rods are the basic inspiration for my BlockHead activity (plugand also the similar, not-yet-Sugarized program FracBars at www.jjposner.net/plug).

Re: [math4] Activity: adding/subtracting whole numbers
Why yes there is:) Now that you have some code, it is time to make it public. 1. Upload the activity to http://activities.sugarlabs.org . This is the activities library students and teachers use to grab new activities. 2. Store your code in the git repository at git.sugarlabs.org . This is where developer keep their code. By publicly posting it, when a fellow developer says, 'hum that is clever' they can easily find out how you did something or even use your code as a base for something new and clever. 3. Send a notice to i...@sugarlabs.org to let the world know about BlockHead. If you are interested in continuing with the project we can add a developer page, internationalisation code, and register your activity with the translation team so it can be made available to children around the world. FWIW, I would strongly encourage eveyone to follow the above steps to make their work available to the world. Not only is it community service, but it feels really good when you look at you a.sl.o stats page and realize that a class is Uruguay just down loaded your work:) david On Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 3:37 PM, John Posnerjjpos...@optimum.net wrote: Hi -- I've just Sugarized my BlockHead application, which enables kids to add/subtract multiple-digit numbers by dragging Cuisenaire-like blocks.
