Hi All,
Such a device would need adaptation for the OLPC to be possible for
kids (particularly those in the developing world) to use. We found by
experimentation with weights that kids 8-12 average max sustained
power applied against gravity was around 11W. They would need at
least +50-80% of wh
Well one choice as discussed before would be to use the modules I
already wrote that do exactly that:

Unfortunately I don't think modifying ksmain will be enough because

Hi,
Sorry for my late reply to this. Actually we use OLSR in Afghanistan
to do our school networking like so:
1. An OLSR router (running openwrt Freifunk ; see freifunk.net )
connects to the other routers in the school - that forms the backbone
on one network (e.g. channel 6)
2. A vanilla OpenW
Hi,
There's no need to clone repos... when you use image builder or os
builder it will download only the required packages.
You can also put a proxy cache in between the build script and the
Internet (set the http_proxy variable) to make sure that when you go
to run the build again nothing will

Dear List,
One of the greatest challenges here in deployments has been to create
sufficient curriculum *interactive* educational content. Though
Scratch and Etoys are great for simulators for many common educational
interaction formats (e.g. assemble objects, click in place according

Hi All,
We've successfully tested here in Afghanistan using Freifunk to mesh
routers between classrooms so that we can avoid the need for doing
ethernet cabling in the school. Now with the 802.11n hardware out
there that supports dual band MIMO 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ I'm hoping that we
can achieve a wir
Hi All,
The GCompris stuff is very very nice indeed and I would highly
recommend having some of them. Even just because it has such great
demo power and then further activities can be installed from the
school server.
I would recommend against including finance by default. As laptops

Hi All,
As many of the target areas for the XOs suffer from massive illiteracy
problems, and some live away from where schools will be built during
the time that they grow up and could benefit from a literacy learning
activity using home schooling.

Hi All,
Sometime ago we had the idea to try and create skill trainers using
interactive roleplay on the XO - recently discovered Renpy as a really
excellent tool for doing this. One can make an engaging audio, video

Hi All,
On routers I would recommend if at all possible reflashing to run
OpenWRT (www.openwrt.org) or one can also try derivatives like dd-wrt

routers - requires some knowledge of routers but not too much. Works

Dear All,
In Afghanistan we wanted to have a system that would make it as simple
as possible to make a relatively large, replicated digital library
accessible locally on the school server (external bandwidth here is
about 64kbps per school). In addition we wanted something that was
very fast and
Dear All,
After surveying the tools that we have available for creating custom

yet invested much time / effort in other tools (we run a shell script

Hey All,
The offline spec is indeed something very cool - I had some time back
done some work with XSL to try to create something that would have a
similar effect with Apache cocoon - but nothing can (or should) beat a
w3c standard.
