Hello folks, OLPC San Francisco will be hosting our monthly meeting Saturday, September 12th, from 10AM - 1PM at the downtown SFSU campus, 835 Market Street, 5th floor, Room 597 (the fishbowl).
Please bring your XOs and other wifi-enabled devices to help our Raspberry Pi wifi dongle ad-hoc testing effort. Agenda - Meet and greet - Ian Craig: Offline Micro Digital Library Evaluation and Comparison - Raspberry Pi wifi dongle ad-hoc testing - Project updates - Summit planning Offline Micro Digital Library Evaluation and Comparison By Ian Craig Abstract: There are many different digital library solutions currently developed or in the process of development. While this is great news for students and educators in under-served areas, this ubiquity can also be a problem. With so many options; how are these institutions and local people supposed to effectively discern which solution is "best"? How is the superlative “best” defined in this case? What criteria should people (with zero to little technical experience) base their microserver research and judgement on? Even if a substantial amount of potential microserver clientèle knew (and was able to execute) an effective research methodology, would a trial-and-error process involving testing all “viable” solutions be an efficient use of time? In this presentation Ian Craig (SFSU student and intern at Inveneo), will discuss different off-the-shelf solutions and how these compare across the board using multiple criteria. Raspberry pi wifi dongle ad-hoc testing Please bring as many wifi clients as possible: smart phones, tablets, laptops (XOs or others.) The idea is to see how many clients we can get connected to the Raspberry Pi access point at any one time. We have half a dozen different usb wifi dongles to evaluate. Our meetings are held on the second Saturday of every month. Everyone is welcome to join us for our monthly meeting! We'll be discussing the latest in OLPC events and give updates on our local (and global) projects. There will be plenty of XO laptops with the latest builds to play around with, too.
