[IAEP] SoaS at FOSDEM
It would be cool to demo SoaS at FOSDEM running on a variety of laptops, including the XO, the EEE PC (me and Tomeu have one) and the Classmate PC (Christoph or Aaron should have one). -- // Bernie Innocenti - http://www.codewiz.org/ \X/ Sugar Labs - http://www.sugarlabs.org/ ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)

Pity it's a bit too late to prepare a MIPS soas for the Gdium ;) Well, if we had the hardware today we could try a rush. It didn't take much with the Beagle Board.

Do we know what Linux distro they use already? Sorry, I had misread your statement. No, of course it would be a huge amount of time to get SoaS (== Fedora) to build on MIPS or any other unsupported platform. What I meant to say is that we could package up Sugar for their existing distro, which is way easier, especially if it uses a packaging format for which we alreadt have packages ready. -- // Bernie Innocenti - http://www.codewiz.org/ \X/ Sugar Labs - http://www.sugarlabs.org/ ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)

They are using Mandriva, AFAIK, and that's working quite well right now, at least on i586: http://blog.tomeuvizoso.net/2009/01/sugar-now-on-mandrivas-cooker.html Regards, Tomeu ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)

Rickrolled indeed :-) Is it possible for you to add a single file that says the journal storage version at the root of it? Something like $ cat .sugar/default/datastore/store/format 2 We actually had it already, have updated the wiki page with info about it. http://sugarlabs.org/go/DevelopmentTeam/DatastoreRewrite Excellent news. Looks good (as described in the wikipage), so the older datastores, having no 'version' file, are a nominal '0'. Yup. Sounds good, I guess you can do the reorg with hard links in the same script where we had the metadata exported to json. Exactly - guess what the client would have done, build an appropriate hardlink tree, and then let rsync add/remove as appropriate. Avoids transferring the actual data files which may be large. Sounds good. Regards, Tomeu ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep

I guess its too late now, the meeting will start in 4 days and you probably will not be able to make it anymore? Yeah, perhaps we can get something done at FOSDEM? Friday afternoon? That said, I think two things would be most useful: a.) help with deciding and polishing the 0.82 sugar stuff we have for lenny b.) give a presentation about what sugar is (teacher centric) and how to write applications for it (beginner programmer centric). Sounds good, though I don't know much about teachers, I can try and answer their questions ;) We'll have more meetings coming up this year, so if you cant make this one, maybe the next?

[IAEP] Nerdkit - Linux compatible electronic hobbyist kits...
It's probably already been mentioned on this list (or one of the many other OLPC lists), but just in case... It may be worth exploring http://www.nerdkits.com/ A couple of excerpts from their pages: A NerdKit is appropriate for software hackers looking to branch out into electronics, and has educational material to allow even middle-schoolers and high-schoolers (ages 12+) looking for a fun challenge to learn by doing, especially with the help of a techie parent! A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip, including processing, memory, and inputs and outputs -- see the Wikipedia page for more information. and: We started NerdKits as MIT students looking to share our experience in an educational way, and to help lower the barrier to entry into this field. -- Ubuntu Linux DC LoCo Washington, DC http://dc.ubuntu-us.org/ ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)

I would love to attend but unfortunately 3 PM EST translates to 2 AM Saturday morning. I do have an item to add to the agenda, which you and I have discussed previously. I would love for someone on the activityTeam to document how to easily add new instruments to TamTam. I have added this as a High-impact task on the ToDo List We do have a Nepali volunteer Vrishank Khanal who is trying to figure this out. Vrishank is brand-new to linux, programming, and open-source so adding instruments to TamTam may be beyond his current abilities if the task requires C Programming and/or CSound scripting. He has contacted Jean Piche. Let's hope he hears back soon. its(adding new intruments) already in progress :) -- Aleksey ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
