Re: [IAEP] XOCamp fundraising (and, please sign up to donate)

2008-12-18 Thread Jameson Quinn

I was just about to write a guest post edit...@olpcnews.com for
OLPCNewshttp://www.olpcnews.com/contribute.htmlasking for (tax
deductible) contributions towards the travel scholarship
fund for XOCamp. But when I asked on IRC if anybody had any good photos of
Sugarcamp to include, they told me to wait, because SJ s...@laptop.org has
to move the fundraising
pagehttp://wiki.laptop.org/go/XOcamp_2/Fundraising#Donationsoff of
the OLPC wiki (for tax reasons or something). I wanted to get this
done ASAP because time is growing short, but I'm going to the country
(offline) until Monday or Tuesday.

So: if anybody can take on the task of waiting until the page is moved, then
*writing a fundraising post to OLPCNews*, I'd really appreciate it, and so
would the rest of the people who are looking for partial travel
scholarships. There's applications from Guatemala, where exciting things are
happening and 3000 XOs will be arriving next year; from Uruguay, where
Proyecto Ceibal is now the organization with more experience in XO
deployment than anyone else; and from Denmark, to help with packaging
issues; and more applications are expected. All donations are tax
deductible, going through sugarlabs.

Thanks,
Jameson

It's getting to be time to buy tickets for XOCamp 2, which is in under
a month now. Those of us who'd like to come from far away would love to
know whether we can get some financial support for our journey.

I am wondering: Do you guys think it would be relevant for me to
participate in this?

I mean, I don't develop activities themselves and am not a
construcionism theorist. I just do packaging for Debian an Debian-edu,
and do what I can to unite the Sugar packaging efforts of .deb based
distros.

I do not foubt that I am welcome. Question is more if you imagine that
it would be beneficial for the project - also as I would like to request
financial support for my travel costs (I live in Denmark).

Your presence would be highly beneficial. We have been having serious
packaging problems. I don't know how they differ between distros, but
I feel the lack every day on Ubuntu.

I can offer to stay longer in the area, before and/or after the event,
if anyone would find that beneficial.

I don't understand. SJ, can you explain? Where will the page move to?

I was getting ready to write such an article anyway, so you're on.

There's applications from Guatemala, where exciting things are
happening and 3000 XOs will be arriving next year; from Uruguay, where
Proyecto Ceibal is now the organization with more experience in XO

deductible, going through sugarlabs.

I want to invite some partners from Africa, as well.

We need more money than we are going to get from individual donations.
Does anybody have an idea for a corporate sponsor, or other funding
possibilities? Several companies put in a million dollars each to get
OLPC started. How about a few thousand here and there to speed up
actual deployments and make them more effective?

Thanks,
Jameson

Please don't wait. Draft the post, and point to [[sugar:XOCamp 2]]
where I'll put the details. SJ

[IAEP] telepathy, empathy and collaboration in gnome

2008-12-18 Thread David Van Assche

Here's an article about the state of collaboration in gnome itself,
and a review of empathy, the new integrated gnome telepathy client,
with support for tubes, as well as some other apps that do
collaboration:
