Professors Stephen Jacobs and Eric Grace held the 2nd of 10 weekly sessions for the RIT Honors Seminar, Developing for the OLPC XO, http://wiki.laptop.org/go/RIT_honors_seminar,_developing_for_the_OLPC_XO.
The 19 students present received, and checked out the XO laptop and got a bit more oriented to the seminar plans. Weeks 1 - 5 will focus on research and brainstorming on the project domain. Weeks 6 - 10 will consist of prototype building and breaking. Slightly edited session notes from the irc.freenode.net #fedora-olpc channel are at, http://wiki.laptop.org/go/RIT_honors_seminar%2C_developing_for_the_OLPC_XO/20_March_2009. (They are a bit sparse, due to the content and my inexperience.) With only 3 weeks left for the research and preliminary brainstorming design phase of the seminar, we hope that the those interested will latch onto student posts and ideas as they appear online. Students also are expected to find online collaborators. Please make an effort to join irc.freenode.net #fedora-olpc next at 10:00 - 11:50 EDT (14:00 - 15:50 UTC) on Friday 27 March 2009. (I'll post a Google Calendar invitation to the group, for those that keep electronic calendars.) The seminar will reserve some time for individual and collective irc communications. The professors may post a more detailed agenda in the coming week to help narrow the time for you tune in. Thanks for volunteering! _______________________________________________ FourthGradeMath mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/fourthgrademath
