Re: [Server-devel] [UKids] Internet-in-a-Box 7.0 Preview 2, for Raspberry Pi 4...AND Debian 10!
Congrats!! Wonderful to see this speedy progress. I tested out an earlier release @ DWeb Camp on an RPi4 a couple weeks ago; can't wait to try this preview.

I don't know if she got the idea because I suggested it to my gd or if it happened some other way. My gd has agreed to take notes about how the videos are being used and what she thinks about them. Good to get a student perspective. That would be great. Likewise to get that perspective from an XO class using the videos.

[Server-devel] khan academy videos
There have been various requests to make khan academy videos more widely availalbe via school servers. Ceibal has been making a push to localize them into Spanish; on many occasions people have suggested finding a way to ensure the videos are available to offline schools. Has anyone done this so far, independently? Is there a spanish-language snapshot yet? I'm talking with people at Khan Academy interested in making this possible for OLPC to do formally in our builds. (the current NC-SA license makes this non-trivia). If you have been using these or similar videos on your own schoolservers, please share your experiences so far.

[Server-devel] Fwd: Marvell plugs and book servers at schools
Forwarding to server-devel. Thoughts welcome, particularly from groups that have implemented their own variation on a bookserver or content server... or have worked with Guru Sheeva plugs in the past. -- Forwarded message -- Sameer has been working with a Sheeva Plug / Pathagar server dedicated solely to being a local book server for a school/region. (Intended initially to work in an offline, low-power part of uttar pradesh) I wrote about it, and it was presented to an audience @ the internet archive last week: http://blog.laptop.org/2011/10/28/book-server-01/comment-page-1/#comment-13790 I'd like to help him update his v 0.01 of the bookserver to a design that includes an AP - perhaps an integrated Guru Plug? This isn't currently about schoolservers, but one day the bookserver setup could be merged into a future XS build. And many schoolserver forks implement some variation on a bookserver.

Re: [Server-devel] GSoC 2009?
Sounds like a fine idea to me, Martin. Assuming we are accepted again as a mentoring org, we should be eligible for more projects than last year. But do bear in mind that we may not get anyone interested in those projects; and that a successful GSoC internship is primarily about a good experience developing a meaningful product, and the interns are free to define how to tackle the problem they undertake.

Re: [Server-devel] [Localization] OT is there a Content or Curriculum olpc email list
Hello Yama, please see [EMAIL PROTECTED] for content discussions and [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] for aspects of usability (discussions about interface design are usually directed to sugar). There is no list about teacher training, though there is an educators list that was initially set up with related discussions in mind that has been dormant.

Do any of you know if such a content or curriculum list exists and how I can sign up for it? Also, is there something going on about Usability? about Teacher Training besides the wiki? If there's no list yet, who are the admins and how I can contact them for those areas of the project? (if nothing else, my efforts in this have shown me that usability is a major to do...)
