Dear All,
Perhaps Afghanistan is not the first place you think of when considering
your next vacation or internship. But since OLPC are donating 10,000 G1G1
machines to Afghanistan and is working with the top level of the Ministry
of Education this could very well become a showpiece for OLPC in

Once we decide to do this, we'll need to talk about who would do it --
for the F7 rebase we had J5, and then Dennis for F9, and it's not clear

We went through this early on in the development of the OLPC software
stack. It became clear that we were not far enough along to be able to
settle in on RHEL. Maybe we'll be at that point after another turn or

We need to figure out how to start work that takes more than 5 - 6 months

we will (yet again) discover that there's no time to do anything that takes
more than about 5 months. We need to break that cycle and try to figure o

My bad, accidently used 'df -H' instead of '-h' in my initial check.
So we now have ~878MiB available instead of 822. That's better but that

How about Collaboration as project of the day?
Isn't our collaboration framework already shipped in other distros?
The problem is that few applications actually use it to allow easy
collaboration among end-users. There's probably some GUI work needed,
and some integration with each app.
If we co

If not, then you're going to be basing on a Fedora release which will be
EOL'd[1] very soon after the OLPC release...

I think this is one of the important questions we should be discussing

simply that it is something we should consider seriously. That

Hi,
I've an idea. I don't really know if it'll work...
I think rather than doing a video streaming, it might be better to use Web
2.0 and send a series of 'good' quality still images. I do not know about
the feasibility factor but I think this would be a better option than video
conferencing. Esp
