[IAEP] Butia 2.0 - Telepresence
Hi, I wanted to share with you some videos of what we are doingwith Butiá 2.0.In the videos you see a XO 1.75, using the accelerometer that it brings,we use it to control the robot. The XO (1.0) which is above therobot receives messages sent to you by the other (connected by the network maya)and uses the camera to send it captures the XO 1.75.With this, you can control the robot to several feet away, somethingthat can be called telepresence. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPzQEOUlIbwhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONs1ldL5tpAhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPj3N17fx94 We make 2 workshops in the Brasil school (in Montevideo) and the childrensplay with the robot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VXsDzvhfC8http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXjbuTdjugM Regards!

[IAEP] Fwd: [Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] Revisiting Read Activity default font
-- Forwarded message -- From: Manuel Quiñones ma...@laptop.org Date: 2012/4/26 Subject: [Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] Revisiting Read Activity default font To: Sugar-dev Devel sugar-de...@lists.sugarlabs.org Cc: dcrossl...@google.com, Guillermo Espertino gespert...@gmail.com Hi list, I will try to wrap an interesting discussion that has arisen today on IRC. We talked about a better default font for our e-book reader, Read activity, and the possibility to add a new feature to change that font (in the activity itself or as a system setting). Obviously not for landing in this cycle, we have a lot of pending things to do, but would be nice to keep trac on this if there is some consensus. I'm cc'ing Guillermo Espertino, professional free software designer, and Dave Crossland, font consultor at Google Webfonts, who also participated. Please answer to all because they may not be in sugar-devel mailing list. So, the current default is DejaVu LGC Serif. HoboPrimate suggested Century Schoolbook L as a better font. Guillermo said to me that Gentium Book would be the ideal. But Gonzalo, current Read maintainer, said that he has intentions to move to Sans. Now I understand that Serif fonts are being used in books more because of historical reasons, and that we should think what would be better for children. He also pointed that teachers ask for a hand-writting font, and that there are special fonts designed for dyslexic people. Finally, Dave pointed us to http://kidstype.org and the Fabula typeface. Looks interesting indeed. -- .. manuq .. ___ Sugar-devel mailing list sugar-de...@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
