Hi. Recently saw an OLPC computer at Ontario Linux Fest, courtesy of a great presentation by Michael C. Fletcher. He suggested a brief self-intro as protocol for joining the list, etc.
Here goes: Canadian high school teacher, record can be found here: http://www.oct.ca/PublicRegister/memberDetails.aspx?memberID=164928 Have contributed to a few open source projects, such as Tuxpaint (e.g. some graphics, Unicode file for Thai input, Ojibway language file, etc.) Have translated from French to English two 15,20 page articles about how to write a GUI in Python for Blender Link on Blender site: http://www.blender.org/tutorials-help/tutorials/specials/ (e.g. First steps with Python) First article: http://feeblemind.tuxfamily.org/dotclear/index.php/2006/03/03/55-blender-first-steps-with-python Second article: http://feeblemind.tuxfamily.org/dotclear/index.php/2006/03/20/58-blender-creating-a-gui-for-your-python-scripts I even understood the articles! :-) (I wrote a couple of simple example scripts to make pyramids and tetrahedrons, if you are interested...:-)) I'm interested in education problems (duh! :-)), and perhaps delving into some of the python code...but I'm going to just lurk for awhile and if I see something that I think I can contribute to, I'll jump in. Or feel free to suggest something. As for time commitment, at the moment I am moving to Japan, but I will try to spend some time getting up to speed. I use a laptop with Ubuntu 6.06 LTS at the moment, and python 2.4/2.5 installed. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better Globetrotter.
