So, we'll try to see if we can get the script to work as intended. The script is supposed to dump usage data from the journal backups in /library/users There is another script (written in Ruby) that can then pull pretty graphs from the data. http://wiki.paraguayeduca.org/index.php/Analisis_de_Uso_de_Actividades#Generating_nice_pie_charts This would be a great set of features to fold into the next XS, with options to look at the data via Moodle and to have the option to dump data to csv I'm curious to know if 1) any of the deployments use ParaguayEduca's scripts 2) any of the deployments do something like this, but using a different approach. cheers, Sameer -- Sameer Verma, Ph.D. Professor, Information Systems San Francisco State University http://verma.sfsu.edu/ http://commons.sfsu.edu/ http://olpcsf.org/ Consider this reference: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Server_Kit/sugar-stats --Fred ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
Re: [Server-devel] Journal and Google
On Sun, Jul 18, 2010 at 5:04 AM, Tabitha Roder tabi...@tabitha.net.nzwrote: Hi Has anyone tried backing up the Journal to Google docs? A school told us they are using google apps (for education) and would like Sugar to store the Journal in Google clouds. Really, what they would like is a backup system so loss of the device doesn't mean the loss of all the student's work -- the school server provides a backup system, this may be sufficient. Does anyone have success stories we can show them along the Little Johnny started learning how to customise his operating system now his XO won't boot, we reflashed it, and all his Sugar activity work was restored from the XS. I'm guessing tight integration with a cloud isn't a design goal of the school server but if it can hand off to the cloud this would make them happier. They have a google partner who can make at least some magic happen, does anyone have any pointers on how to do a feasibility study? Google Education Apps: http://www.google.com/a/help/intl/en/edu/index.html Thanks Tabitha If Sugar on a Stick images are prepared with a separate, persistent Home directory (with the --home-size-mb option of livecd-iso-to-disk, or with the --copy-home option of http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Sugar_Clone, that allows one to share a customized Journal) then the entire, Home directory (with the Journal) can be backed-up, shared, or swapped by means of the /LiveOS/home.img file (an un-compressed filesystem package that is loop mounted in the LiveOS to provide the /home/ directory). The persistent home feature is available in all SoaS versions by invoking the livecd-ico-to-disk script. See http://www.mail-archive.com/s...@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg01608.html for patches that will make the copy-overlay and copy-home customization features more readily available. A cloud-based swapping service for home.img files seems quite reasonable for those with sufficient Internet bandwidth. --Fred ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
Re: [Server-devel] XO Registration Failed with XS
On Thu, Jun 17, 2010 at 8:16 AM, Hamilton Chua hamilton.c...@gmail.comwrote: Hi Ganesh, I wrote this down a while back when I was figuring out how to get SoaS to register and backup with an XS, hope this helps you. The registration process begins when an XO laptop user clicks on the avatar and then clicks Register from the drop down menu. This action executes * /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/jarabe/desktop/schoolserver.py*. This python script gathers the following required information from the XO laptop in order to register with the schoolserver : - serial number - nickname - uuid - SSH pubkey This data is sent via xmlrpc over port 8080 to the Identity Manager service on the school server. The identity manager is a python script located in * /usr/bin/registration-server* on the school server. This service receives the information and validates the serial number. The information is then inserted into an sqlite3 database. It will then send back the following information to the XO laptop. - success - backupurl - backuppath - jabberserver Added to wiki at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/School_Identity_Manager#XO_registration_process . The other content on that page probably should be reviewed as it has not been updated significantly since November 2008. ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel

The effective acoustic range is probably similar to the line of sight for XO users. Far more interesting, in my opinion, would be locating other users in radio or network ranges that are not apparent from looking around the room.
