I think for the case of Cambodia with many small deployments (educational NGOs got XOs donated from G1G1/OLPC or other donors), no signed builds probably means that the XOs don't get updated anymore. Are you trying to say that the Cambodian OLPC recipients don't have any serious chance of

Hi, some people in France (from La main à la pâte) designed a telescope for the XO. It's a cheap ad hoc device they stick close to the camera, and it can zoom by 10x -- useful for observing, say, the moon. At this stage of the project, they have two problems: - shots of the moon are often

Hi Ed, note that the l10n packs for OO are *massive*. I think it is because they include large dictionaries thesaurii, template files, localised iconsets... etc. There is probably room for trimming them down, and perhaps even hardlinking identical images after installation. Hard to know what'll

Bastien - Moon photos are a problem for just about any kind of astrophotography. In addition to anything else you might try in software, the best bet is to add some kind of neutral-density filter over the scope. You might try some scrap anti-static wrap (the gray, translucent kind). It
