Re: Signed 648 (ship.2 release candidate)
Hi, Kim, To start, I think it will be great to be on the olpc irc channel. We can also start an olpc-support channel and there are some people working on a 'community-support' mailing list (please sign up if you like). I signed up the mailing list. But the IRC is not what the Chat activity on the XO uses, right? As we get more organized we'll post other ways that people can help to answer questions and provide support. Great! Thanks for asking! Well, I know I'm asking for trouble. But at the same time I'm curious to see. -- Yoshiki ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Thank you, Morgan, I just imagined that having the ask expert key, (a la view source key) would be handy and the familiar tool (i.e., the Chat) can be used to ask the people with proper background... Just 0.03 USD. -- Yoshiki At Tue, 04 Dec 2007 10:32:08 +0200, Morgan Collett wrote: Yoshiki Ohshima wrote: I signed up the mailing list.

(It uses PS's chat rooms, not 1-1 IM, and the rooms for activities are obscurely named as they use the activity ID in the JID, so while it is possible to use a desktop jabber client to talk to a Chat instance, it's not easy...) There is an IRC Activity (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XoIRC) although I don't know whether it will be included by default. Since Telepathy has an IRC connection manager, we should investigate using that on the XO...

I don't have a recent build handy to check, so my information might be
rusty...

Agreed.
There were mumblings about including a minimalist IRC client that could
automatically connect to freenode/OLPC channels. The developer console was
the original home. Our thinking was that, to really involved XO users with
true development, access to the tools and communication mediums that the
current developers use is important.
Maybe it should be tied to getting a developer key. When you get approved
for a developer key, information about how to use it (and what you can use
it for), along with common tools (vi, irc, etc) that could prove useful.
Come to think of it, a hey, you know have permissions to install custom
kernels, would you like a gcc build environment installed? [YES/no] might
be a sub-optimal idea given our target audience. :)

Re: Signed 648 (ship.2 release candidate)
Hello, I don't know the plan of any sort, but presumably there will be the users of XO through G1G1 in the US and Canada (and other places) very soon. Is there any a jabber server (say) for them, or a forum, mailing lists of sort that they are going to be directed? Would a developer with B4 be able to look at it or participate it and see how software working for them (and possibly trouble shoot)? -- Yoshiki At Sat, 1 Dec 2007 13:47:58 -0500, Kim Quirk wrote: [1.1 text/plain; ISO-8859-1 (7bit)] [1.2 text/html; ISO-8859-1 (7bit)] Yes!

This will bring you to a tour of the laptop. Scroll all the way to the bottom to find the link apply for a developer key. We just got the link in there at the last minute, so it might move to a more prominent position in the future. Regards, Kim On Dec 1, 2007 1:39 PM, Gerard J.
