 Hello,

 while the exact schedule is still being work out, we now have a confirmed
 location:

  Training Room, 5th floor, Cambridge Innovation Center
  http://www.cictr.com/about.html

 The room -- courtesy of Open Learning Exchange (http://www.ole.org/) --
 can host up to 45 people and is equipped with a 1024x768 projector, a huge
 whiteboard.  Open wi-fi will be available, along with some yummy snacks
 from a nearby kitchen (mens sana in corpore sano).

 It is booked for these dates:
  Mon 17   12:00 - 17:00
  Tue 189:00 - 17:00
  Wed 199:00 - 17:00

 We can probably stay after hours -- to be confirmed.  Otherwise, we'll
 just head to a pub with free wi-fi and continue from there ;-)

 Walter is looking for another place for Thursday and Friday.  We can
 probably use the Media Lab for the weekend.

 Participants please updarte the wiki with your ETA and whether you still
 need accommodation:

  http://sugarlabs.org/go/Sugarcamp

 Mel, SJ and C.Scott: let's have a meeting tomorrow @ 2PM to partition the
 available time between Sugar talks, Sugar Labs marketing, OLPC employee
 meetings and the much anticipated Sugar hackathon.

Re: [sugar] ShoeBot (a free software DrawBot implementation) is out! Time to Sugarize some Ruby apps?

I tried some of the graphics libraries that use JavaScript + the 
canvas tag in Browse:

* http://azarask.in/projects/algorithm-ink/
* http://glimr.rubyforge.org/cake/canvas.html
* http://ejohn.org/apps/processing.js/examples/basic/
* more examples at

Unfortunately, Algorithm Ink (the most fun site to play around in) is 
deathly slow on the XO-1.  The JavaScript and cairo tuning in Gecko 
1.9.1 (the core of Firefox 3.1) should help.

[sugar] greasemonkey and firefox3

2008-11-11 Thread Tony Anderson
Greasemonkey implements javascripts which are stored in a location 
specified by firefox. On my XO with 767, I have a script 
'topics-offlineuserjs.user.js' which is located at:

/home/olpc/isolation/1/gid_to_data_dir/10023/.mozilla/firefox/3kiawx2f.default/gm_scripts/topics-offlineuserjs.user.js

I either need to find a way to tell Firefox where the script is 
(/home/olpc/Activities/Firefox-6.activity) or find a way that subsequent 
executions of Firefox can find this location.

Do you have any advice for a stable location for this file?

Re: [sugar] [IAEP] Sugar Camp Cambridge 17-21 Nov

2008-11-11 Thread Brendan R. Powers
I would like to propose a discussion on making the collaboration a bit more 
standards compliant. The idea would be to get sugar to function more like a 
standard jabber IM client, as well as using existing standards in place of some 
of the custom solutions used now (xmlrpc instead of dbus perhaps?). I would 
also like to talk about using the colaboration API to talk to external services 
not on the jabber network(a moodle server for instance). As well as a possibly 
a few API changes to make these sorts of services easier to access for activity 
developers.

Having a standards base and flexible collaboration framework that extends 
beyond the sugar ecosystem offers some very interesting possibilities. I would 
also like to discuss some of the jabber scalability problems, as well as how we 
manage grouping students into classes, and collaborating with other schools 
over the internet.

If people thinks this is a good idea for discussion I will add it to the wiki.

Thanks!

I'm interested in the topic as well -- we're already mapping out the

integration on the server side of things. Integrating ejabberd and
Moodle seems like the natural thing to do, I have to say. And ejabberd
scalability issues, I think we have them well diagnosed -- though one
of them is somewhat hard to fix.

[sugar] How To Test An Activity instructions (testers needed!)

2008-11-11 Thread Mel Chua
A new draft of the How To Test An Activity page 
(http://wiki.laptop.org/go/How_to_test_an_Activity) is up, and needs 
testers!

If you are interested in testing, please grab an Activity (see 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities to choose one), reply-all to this 
message so we know what Activities you're testing, and walk through 
steps 1 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/How_to_test_an_Activity#Pick_an_Activity, 2 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/How_to_test_an_Activity#Look_at_existing_resources, 
and 3 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/How_to_test_an_Activity#Product_and_Oracle_.28wiki_page.29,
 
which are the ones that are currently complete. (Since each section 
builds on the ones before, I wanted to get feedback on the current draft 
first before building more.) Leave your comments on the talk page 
http://wiki.laptop.org/index.php?title=Talk:How_to_test_an_Activityaction=edit.
 
This will encourage me to finish this page and make it better, faster.

It would be great to get this feedback before our next Community Testing 
meeting, which is on IRC in *#olpc-meeting* on November 13 (Thursday), 
22:00UTC/5pmEST. Thanks to Brian Jordan and Greg Dekoenigsberg, who are 
already trying these out for the Paint and Speak Activities!

If you're interested in helping out on these instructions, please jump 
in and edit - feel free to grab me on IRC or email if you have 
questions, or want a more specific bite-sized volunteer assignment (I 
have many, and desperately need extra hands).

Thanks, everyone!

 It would be great to talk about sugar in ltsp environments. I think that the

 I have attached a patch to bin/sugar.in which launches xcompmgr prior to

 build of Sugar to test on an XO.  In 8.2 it was possible to achieve the
 same result by adding a hook to main.py.

On IRC I said we'd be better off moving this to olpc-session, so the
Sugar codebase should stay clear of platform-specific support.

However, I noticed we also run the window manager from there and it
would make a lot of sense to keep the composing manager next to it.
Some modern window managers even do both things.

Perhaps these things should be moved to olpc-session?  Either way, it

I'm trying to stay more or less consistent with the separation between
DM and desktop session, for practical reasons (Sugar needs to work
fine if runned from gdm, for example).

olpc-session is the equivalent of a DM, so I don't think it should run
the window manager, nor the composite manager.

Sounds like a great event.  I will be in Boston the weekend before and the
weekend after the meeting, so I can help out where ever you need.

Thanks
david

Also, a public thanks to Mel for providing me a place to stay during the
event!

 Awesome. Ok, we're on.

 Please spread the word to all the Boston-area Sugar/Activity developers you
 know; I'm copying the local university chapters and the Boston-area OLPC
 list on this email so they're in the loop. Still looking for a location, but
 the date (and rough time) are set - evening of Nov. 17, which is a Monday
 and the first day of G1G1.

 Nice.  A good point about Thanksgiving week -- the converse is that
 the week before is often midterms for students.  But there are a
 number of local activity developers (or would-be devs who haven't
 finished their first!) that would be excited to join.

 Sounds like an *excellent* plan to me! I'd be certainly glad to
 participate and I'm sure will be the same for Tomeu. We can also
 involve some Boston local activity authors to help out mentoring.



 Great! So if Tomeu or any other core Sugar dev can commit to being a
 second, I'll lock in the date, get a place, and start the gears in
 motion. (I'm already starting to look for locations and the like right
 now, but nothing firm yet.)


 Sounds very good, you can count on me as well.

 Thanks,

 Tomeu

Thanks Marco. Friday may also be a possibility for me, if that would be easier 
to schedule.

   Mel, SJ and C.Scott: let's have a meeting tomorrow @ 2PM to partition the
   available time between Sugar talks, Sugar Labs marketing, OLPC employee
   meetings and the much anticipated Sugar hackathon.
  
  Christian Schmidt is interested to come and give a talk and hold a
  brainstorming session about UI. Saturday would work best for him, can
  we reserve a slot of the schedule for it?
  
  Thanks,
  Marco
