Hardware stuff is being discussed actively internally for XO-3.
Unfortunately, I can't say anything specific about it yet.  But I am
pretty excited.

As always, OLPC hopes to push the market, rather than necessarily be
the single source of low cost and robust computers for education.  So
we welcome other hardware efforts and discussion as well.  Part of
what makes me excited about the ChromeOS/Chrome exploration track
(next week's work) is that it gives a mechanism for deploying Sugar on
everything from desktops (inside the browser of your choice---the
NativeClient client is currently Chrome-specific, but will eventually
become browser-independent), to netbooks, to tablets -- to whatever
comes next!

Excellent. Love your work.

Lack of reliable mesh is the single greatest technical obstacle to my
plans for Replacing Textbooks with collaborative Open Education
Resources (OERs).

http://www.wsis-community.org/mod/groups/topicposts.php?topic=118512&group_guid=14358

Some of us are putting together a new server for Sugar Labs, using
booki collaborative authoring software from FLOSS Manuals. We have
several projects in the planning stages from people and organizations
that have been working on non-computer approaches for decades, and are
delighted at the new opportunities.

Re: [IAEP] First day of Etoys class in Somerville

[Derek Redfern]

My apologies - I replied to this, but was not signed on to all the lists so
I think my message got rejected.

It's part of a custom system we have set up for ease of use. We want people
to be able to just execute a single file for any system, so we wrote a jar
file to detect the OS and start the proper Etoys executable accordingly.

For clarification - I'm working with Caroline on the Somerville project.

Thanks!

Hi...
I have tested Etoys to go, downloaded from the Squeakland site and found it 
works fine on PC (Windows) and Mac... even the older Power PC Macs. Nothing 
special installed.  Just plug in the stick and open it.  Projects totally 
transferrable between machines.  It is a great resource.

Caroline,
You also mentioned that:
Etoys on a stick only works when java is installed on the computer.  Several of 
the computers did not have java and no one knows the admin password to install 
it.

This seems really strange, are you running Etoys inside a browser?

Caroline,

Your students asked:

Etoys questions include:


   1. How do we make a mouth that moves?

When you first open Etoys click on the "Gallery of Projects" then in the
second row, first item from the left is a "Bouncing Ball Animation"
basically it behaves like flip animation (where you draw the different
positions on the edge of each piece of paper and flip through the pages to
animate). Have the kids make different drawings of the mouth and place each
one in a Holder. Then open the Holder's viewer go to the collections
category and you can iterate through the items in the Holder and set the
Mouth graphic to the "Holder's player at cursor graphic" To get the "Holder's
player at cursor graphic" tile you need to click on the

   - How do you control the placement of a speech/thought bubble.  One girl
  made a very large heart with a face and the speech bubble
appeared right at
  the top, it would look much better if it were over on the side
and closer to
  the mouth.  But I don’t see how to control how it is positioned.

Unfortunately you can not control the placement. What you could do is grab
an image of the speech bubble and move the grabbed image to a different
spot.

   - How do you make moving eyes (from the object catalog)part of an object
  so when you move the object with a script the eyes move too?

If you place the eyes on top of the object you want to embed them in, then
get the halo for the eye and click on the menu icon (top row, second from
left), then select "embed" and choose the name of the object you want to
embed them in. OR get the Halo of the item to which you want to add eyes
then from the menu icon enure "accept drops" is checked. Now anything you
place on that object will be embedded in it. NOTE: you may want to turn off
"accept drops" once done, also if you move an object (using the move icon,
instead of the pick up icon from the Halo, it will not embed).

   - How do I control when a speech bubble appears and disappears.  I seemed
  to be able to get it to appear fairly easily with the various
options in the
  script but it then seemed to disappear again immediately.

Hmmm, can you share an actual project when this happens? Usually to get a
speech bubble to disappear I use the "stop saying or thinking" tile. not
sure why it would disappear otherwise.


I'll try and post an Etoys minute some time tomorrow night to show how these
things can be done.

Stephen

Report is here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z2wFRkZPOxKpREA6sV1-XVdxjm7bC9jP50KWkdL6d64/edit?authkey=CP7cjcgL&hl=en#

We are working in a computer lab in a housing project in Somerville run by
the Haitain Coalition of Somerville.  We are using etoys to start with to
help support collaboration between Waveplace and the Somerville Haitian
Coalition.  The students did very impressive work for the first day.

We are using E-toys on a USB stick that works on both PC and Linux and
hopefully mac in a day or two. The goal is to have it
also automatically backup to dropbox. This currently works on XP, hopefully
ubuntu will be next.

We could use help from E-toys users. I have a bunch of how do I do this in
E-toys questions in the report.

We could use help in writing the backup script for ubuntu.

Check out the report. It has nice screen shots. :)

[IAEP] Exploring Sugar-on-Tablets

[C. Scott Ananian]

I've posted a four week plan for XO-3 software exploration at
http://cananian.livejournal.com/62667.html

Briefly:
April 4-8: Android
April 11-15: Chrome/ChromeOS/NativeClient
April 18-22: Get down & dirty with mesh
April 25-29: Pulling legacy Sugar codebase into the
GTK3/g-o-i/touch-interface future
May 2-6: in Uruguay to present results and discuss all this w/ Sugar
folks in person

I'll be posting more about each project as I dig into them; there are
also threads on IAEP where I've discussed all these topics before, so
they shouldn't come as too much of a surprise.

There are other ideas out there, and I'm not going to *finish* any of
these investigations in a single week.  Feel free to ask questions and
suggest other projects -- although please read the existing
discussions first if you can.  In order to actually get work done w/o
endless distraction, I'll probably try to avoid getting into lots of
details for projects other than the one I'm currently focusing on. And
rest assured that I do deeply care about (a) focusing on kids' needs
first, (b) preserving as much of the legacy codebase as possible (I am
lazy, like all good programmers), and (c) working closely with
SugarLabs, Activity Central, and all you other folks!

Okay, so that means you are currently encouraging both English and
Spanish speakers to apply, right?

I was also wondering what formats are available to speakers? Are we
talking longer sessions, lightening talks, workshops, etc.?

Re: [IAEP] eduJam: Call for speakers / Llamado a disertantes

[Christoph Derndorfer]

Gonzalo,

this call raises an interesting question that I hadn't really thought of
so far:

What language are the sessions of eduJAM! going to be held in?

On the one hand some of the international participants might not speak
Spanish on the other hand the idea is to really provide a low barrier to
entry for local/regional folks interested in the topic and some of them
probably aren't too fluent in English...

Thanks,
Christoph

Plan Ceibal is currently looking for volunteers to translate Khan
Academy's videos to Spanish.

[IAEP] Khan academy content

[Chris Leonard]

I haven't really looked into this, but I thought it might be of interest to
some on the list.

One might imagine these videos being stored on the School Server for local
access.  According to the page below it is all cc-by-sa

https://sites.google.com/a/khanacademy.org/forge/home/mission-principles-and-values

I was very happy to see this statement  "begin to translate the lessons into
Arabic, Bengali, French, German, Hindi-Urdu, Indonesian, Mandarin,
Portuguese, Russian and Spanish so they could be distributed globally. "
