I'm a little aprehensive about that option. Where would the command go?

2PM Boston Time TODAY/Friday: Brief Contributors Program Mtg (#olpc-meeting)
Please join us reviewing the latest OLPC/Sugar community projects in 30MIN, over IRC Live Chat at 2PM EDT Boston Time, right here: http://forum.laptop.org/chat Then type at bottom: /join #olpc-meeting AGENDA: * New Libraries Coming! http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects#XO_Laptop_Lending_Libraries * Which projects might you enjoy Mentoring?! http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects http://rt.laptop.org/Search/Results.html?Query=Queue=%27contributors%27 * Fast Review of the 2 latest (greatest!) HW/Project Proposals -- please join us advocating for and/or reviewing shortcomings of these proposals: 1. Science Link Bettws(UK) and Uganda http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=41750 http://www.scienceatbettws.org.uk Requests 10 XO's for 12 months Project Objectives: To devise and trial a scalable framework for the support of teachers in developing areas by other, more resourced teachers. o Create and collaborate on wiki based teaching resources o Create and share students based educational tracking e-portfolio, using wikis o Create and share cheap to manufacture USB sensors for the logging of data (temperature / voltage etc etc) 2. OLPC - Honduras [Massachusetts, USA] http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=41820 Requests 2 XO's for 3-6 months Project Objectives: Few of the locations run by Mission Honduras presently have internet access, or PC/Laptop access for the education centers. I would like to take the OLPC laptops on my trip to Honduras (leaving on June 24) to validate their work-ability and then come up with a bigger plan to allow these children (approximately 1300 – between Honduras, Liberia and the Dominican Republic) to receive an OLPC to help improve their lives. Ultimately, it will improve the education and technical skills to the school children that should allow them a better life. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

A small group of us have started working on the software release for the XO-1.5, based on Fedora 11. Some details here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/F11_for_1.5 We're looking forward to engaging the community as much as possible, especially as we become more and more able to get test hardware out to developers and testers.
