/etc/init.d/olpc_europe start - OLPC Europe event at FOSDEM

2008-02-07 Thread Holger Levsen
Hi,

at FOSDEM, the Free and Open Source Developers European Meeting, a yearly 
gathering of about 4000 (mostly) developers and contributors in Brussels, I 
will be moderating an event called /etc/init.d/olpc_europe start, which is 
described in more detail below (which is just copied and pasted from the 
event description on our wiki and soon (todayish) also on the fosdem website.

If you're attending FOSDEM, I'd love to meet you there! Please enter your name 
on the wiki page too :-)

quote:
 
During the last 12 months many OLPC grassroots initiatives in Europe and 
elsewhere in the world popped up, to promote the OLPC idea locally in their 
communities, to help children locally and globaly. 

OLPC Europe aims to be a focus point to share experiences, ideas and work 
between those local groups and towards the global OLPC project. Like the 
global project we aim to be an education project and use that laptop as a 
means. 

This meeting aims to get the different people from any OLPC related initiative 
together, to get us know each other and to discuss the feature of the young 
OLPC Europe project. 

If you intend to participate please enter yourself at 
http://wiki.laptop.org/Go/OLPC_Europe/Events/FOSDEM 

When:  Saturday, 23. February, 15:00 to 17:00 
Where: http://fosdem.org/2008 - thats Brussels in Europe :)


regards,
Holger

P.S.: we will have an IRC meeting today at 17 UTC on #olpc-europe on freenode.

If you decided to try, wrapping gtk widgets with pygtk uses to be quite

I'm not sure we want this lib in the platform, so you would have to

Re: [sugar] Matplotlib vs PyCha

2008-02-07 Thread Rafael Enrique Ortiz Guerrero
Hi Arjun,

I think Matplotlib  would be the best choice  taking in count  that we
probably want to work analysing bio-signals, i see that Matplotlib has
splendid  examples  like

mri_with_eeg.pyhttp://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/screenshots/mri_with_eeg.pyand
eeg.py http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/screenshots/eeg.py

So we have a nice framework to begin with.

 Also without knowing too much about it, the problem  about the large
size could be worked out as you suggested.


cheers!

 After searching through more packages it seems to me that I have two
 options --

 (A) PyCha [3]
 Pros
 * Very small package - 30KB. Just need to include these few python files
 [4]

 Cons
 * Very limited types of representations - just line, bar and pie chart
 * For displaying it within a gtk window one needs to do some hackish
 stuff. like making a cairo surface and cairo context and copying the
 surface from within the python modules to the main program etc.


 (B) Matplotlib [5]
 Pros
 * A __huge__ variety of display methods a large number of graphs, and
 a large number of built in mathematical functions
 * A large community develops on and/or around it. Quite well known.
 * There is a well defined and supported method for embedding it in gtk

 Cons
 * Large size. Just the rpm is about 5MB. It requires python-dateutils
 and pytz. The pytz rpm is another about 6MB



 I am veering towards Matplotlib because it has some really amazing
 functionality (see the screenshots page[4])

 The solution to the large size could be that we fork the upstream
 package by removing certain parts that we don't require. There are
 things that we don't need. For example in the rpm that I downloaded I
 noticed that we could remove the examples and also remove support for
 other backends (just keep the gtk backend support)



 Please give comments/feedback/suggestions that would help set a
 direction for development.


 thanks

Re: How to create a new MIME type for a Sugar activity?

2008-02-07 Thread James Simmons
Tomeu,

I tried using the mimetypes.xml file in the activity directory with the 
Sugar Emulator in Xubuntu.  It ignored it.  I then tried packaging up 
the .xo file with setup.py dist and loading it on
my XO.  That didn't work either.  Today I opened the .xo file with 7-zip 
and found that setup.py did not put mimetypes.xml in the activity 
directory into the .xo file.  The activity.info file went in and so did 
my .svg icon.  I didn't have to make a MANIFEST entry to get either of 
those in there.  Do I need to do something special to get the 
mimetypes.xml file put in?

It is possible that the Sugar Emulator is out of date.  It is a very 
congenial development environment compared to the alternatives, so I'd 
like to stick with it if possible.

In a related note, I was able to get my activity working by setting the 
MIME to application/zip and being careful not to launch Etoys by 
mistake.  However, it doesn't work for larger files (35 megs or so).  It 
seems like that is a problem with the Journal application, not my app, 
because I cannot copy this file from a USB drive to the Journal either.  
In both cases log viewer shows nearly identical stack traces saying that 
the file name is undefined.  I had a similar problem trying to open a 38 
meg PDF in the Read activity.  The Read activity would start up but 
never finish.  I have posted a message on this bug to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  
Smaller files open just fine, big ones don't.  That makes my ViewSlides 
activity kind of dubious.

James Simmons

Ok, so what if your activity registers into the mime registry a new type
like application/x-slide-activity associated to the *.slide glob? That
can be done in the mimetypes.xml file. And then your activity should add
this mime to the activity.info.

In this way, the journal will recognize these files as that type, and
will open them with you activity.

No, we do not plan to support the B2's further.  Every day, more MP

I'm suprised you were able to install 690 on a B2 in the first place.

No.

Interestingly pytz is actually just 600kB and not 6MB! It is wrongly
written here :)
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/5320110/com/pytz-2006p-2.fc7.noarch.rpm.html

So on the disk, after installation of python-matplotlib and pytz, the
total extra space taken was 7MB,

The examples are about 1.5MB in matplotlib, so taking those out should
further reduce things by 1.5MB

Association test

2008-02-07 Thread Ricardo Carrano
As part of the wireless test suite, I am writing a test script for the
association process.  Basically you write a configuration file with the info
on some essids; the script parses the file and tries to associate to each of
the APs in loop.

The only drawback is that the script kills NetworkManager, so it does not
test all the components involved (only firmware and driver).
I suspect it is possible to send dbus-messages to NM asking for it to
associate, and then listen to the bus and wait for an answer.

My question is whether this mechanism is documented somewhere.

Comments in the idea are also welcome, of course.
Any help you be appreciated. Thanks!

I don't know the answer to your question.   But the test you've proposed

associating with a new mesh after suspending, or after 24+ hours.

Timeline for merging patch to kernel's Geode AES support

2008-02-07 Thread Denver Gingerich
I am interested in using the Geode's hardware AES encryption with
OpenSSH, but I see that there is a bug in the kernel that causes
Corrupted MAC on input errors [1].  The fix [2] has been applied to
Linus' tree [3], but is not in 2.6.24 [4] and not in the OLPC tree
[5].

I'm not that familiar with the OLPC team's merging procedures so I'm
not sure when this is likely to get merged into the OLPC tree.  Is
this something that is likely to be merged soon?

I don't currently have time to setup a development environment to
recompile an XO kernel with this patch so if it's unlikely to get
merged soon, might I be able to get someone to compile a kernel with
that patch for me?

Thanks for your time.

This is not an API guarantee; neither is it API at all. I accept no
responsibility if the entire platform mysteriously crashes after a
dbus-python upgrade...

It ought to be sufficient for Rainbow to call close() on the SessionBus
after forking, but before executing the target code. This should remove it
from _shared_instances automatically, causing subsequent calls to SessionBus()
to create a new instance, although that code-path is not well tested and you
might need some patches or a newer version of dbus-python.

A better solution would be for Rainbow to avoid SessionBus() entirely,
and instead use an instance of the superclass, dbus.bus.BusConnection. This
does not have the weird caching behaviour at all (one call to the
constructor = one instance = one D-Bus connection). The code that gets run
after forking is still free to use the shared SessionBus.

This may require some care in the libraries that Rainbow uses - they
should all be able to accept a BusConnection argument rather than
implicitly using the shared SessionBus, but they don't necessarily get
this right. Libraries that can only use the shared SessionBus should
probably be considered buggy anyway, though.

 I take it this is RC2?

 Does WEP work yet?

This will be RC2; WEP/WPA are believed working but please test.

Technically, this may not actually be RC2 until it is signed, but I
expect we'll do that tomorrow, unless our early adopters find that it
breathes smoke, menaces onlookers, and shuns religious icons.  Or eats
your battery.

Fwd: [OVC-discuss] New version of demo software

2008-02-07 Thread Edward Cherlin
FYI. We are organizing a code sprint on this software for the upcoming
PyCon in Chicago.

To: Open Voting Consortium discussion list [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Thanks to Jan, again.

Here is the latest .iso for the OVC demo.

http://www.openvotingconsortium.org/ad/ovcdemo2.iso

This uses Ping's pvote.org voter interface and prints a ballot with 2-d
barcode on the edge.

As before, this is a live boot disk (Ubuntu) and should run on any PC with
384s meg of ram.

I don't have a 2-d barcode reader yet, so I wasn't able to check that.  I
plan to get one soon -- maybe someone else here can try it too.

The barcode printed out to about 1.5 inches in length.  I did notice that if
you write-in many candidates to the full length of chars allowed, it
increases the barcode length noticeably.  This makes me wonder if we should
even try to encode the write-in values.  I will be meeting with some
election officials soon and I'll see what they think.

We are just learning how Ping constructs the ballot definition files so we
can have anything on the ballot we want.

Alan D.

I just updated and it seems not. :-(
I got some errors during the update though, more work is needed to see 
what happened.

More later.

Actually it mostly does for me, now.  (WPA actually).  I had to reboot a 
few times after the upgrade, but after that clicking on the WPA ap 
usually works.  It doesn't autoconnect after a reboot (it tries though). 
  But after that I can click on the AP and it connects OK usually.

Include olpc-audit in olpc-utils?

2008-02-07 Thread Michael Stone
Bernie,

olpc-audit is a filesystem-status-verifier written for us by Marcus
Leech. I think it would be decent to include in olpc-utils because,
analogous to the network and battery status detectors, it's handy for
figuring out if people have done funny things to their filesystem. Also,
I'd like to be able to run it from inside pilgrim or puritan chroots
before releasing builds.

Anyway, I've prepared patches to include it in olpc-utils in the
'master' branch of 

  http://dev.laptop.org/git/users/mstone/olpc-utils
  (and the other usual urls)

Would you consider merging them?

Thanks,

Michael
