3. GaiaBB: Proposal for shared community software - Victoria, Australia
http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=48637
[ http://gaiabb.com forthcoming; LINK NEEDED FROM
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects ]
Requests 2 XO's over 8 months
Project Objectives:
I would like make a proposal to re-purpose my general purpose forum
software (GaiaBB) to be XO community specific, using a peer to peer
replication to allow kids to create and contribute to their own easily
managed forums maintained on their laptops with no central server.
Typically, forum software requires a database backend, but is actually
very small footprint as long as you don't allow image attachments.
Allowing peer to peer replication of the data between participants
would allow them to grab updates to the forum when they're in range
say in school, and answer / reply to threads when off radio, say at
home.
4. FotoToon - Buenos Aires, Argentina
http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=48696
[ MISSING PUBLIC PAGE OFF OF http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects ]
Requests 2 XO's over 6 months
Project Objectives:
I have developed the following Activities in Spanish:
ActivityDomino http://activities.sugarlabs.org/es-ES/sugar/addon/4212
Ecomundo http://activities.sugarlabs.org/es-ES/sugar/addon/4213
Elements http://activities.sugarlabs.org/es-ES/sugar/addon/4214
I am developing an activity to create comics, FotoToon.
(git http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/fototoon/ ).
* I think FotoToontil can be very useful for developing expression,
analysis of problems, and
co-operative teamwork.
The Activities already developed can be found in use, but I would
like to complete them and
to be able to implement shared use between various types of computers.
* In addition, in Foto Toon I need to test how to take images from
the Journal, and in my
current development environment (I am writing in Fedora 11 on my
machine) I cannot do it.
* In addition to these activities, I am participating actively in
"Sugar Days Argentina"
<http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/SugarDaysArgentina> That we are doing
in our country with
the objective of creating a community of developers and teachers
around the OLPC project
and Sugar and the larger goal of realizing its implementation in our
country.
* I would also like to develop an Activity for the creation of
stop-motion animations (using
sequences of photos) that will also permit the taking of sequences of
photos for detecting
differences (in movement and time between the photos) that will
permit calculating velocity
or acceleration.
5. Bookwriting photo-interviewing traveling musician - Sallis,
Mississippi/MS, USA
http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=48800
[ MISSING PUBLIC PAGE OFF OF http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects ]
Requests 2 XO's over 6-12 months
Project Objectives:
The aim of this project is to demonstrate the
usefulness of a DIY attitude combined with the capabilities of modern
technology that both meets creative desires and maintains a balance
and strong connection with humanity and nature. It is an expose, a
book, of a person who is just like you, me, or anyone else, with
thoughts and feelings and troubles and joys. Only when a person shines
the brightest are they the most visible to naked eye.
