Hello Class, This is Wes, your TA for OLPC Development. I have some updates and information I thought I would share with you. 1) In class today 9/15, after Professor Jacobs' lecture we will be focusing on refining your IRC and MediaWiki skills. Specifically you will be working through two exercies one in class and one as an out of class assignment. Familiarize yourself with these before class if you have time. http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/RIT/Labs_Wiki_Introduction http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/RIT/Laboratory_principles_and_practices 2) Please create an account at gitorious.org and send me your user name. This will be necessary for the git introduction we may get to today, if not, Thursday. Nevertheless, make sure I have your gitorious account name asap. Without your name on the commit list you will be unable to access the necessary resources to complete your upcoming git assignments. 3) Feel free to read ahead regarding the git tutorial we will be using: http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/RIT/Git_introduction create an account at teaching open source, post, in the discussion area questions or observations you make while using git. 4) Part of your assignment for today was creating accounts at teachingopensource.org and trac.sugarlabs.org. Please note trac.sugarlabs.org has been moved to bugs.sugarlabs.org as of a few hours ago. 5) I am going to be holding office hours for the rest of the quarter from 10-12 on Thursdays in the Center for Student Innovation (B-87). If you would like to stop by and discuss your project ideas I would be happy to brainstorm with you. 6) Today at 3:30 pm, there will be a discussion in 70-2373 about the needs and construction of the XS, the XO School Server. Students who wish to be involved in this project are encouraged to attend. 7)Please note, this email was sent out to [email protected]. That makes this thread part of a mailing list at Teaching Open Source. Please take the time to sign up for this mailing list as well as others you feel would be appropriate. Check out: http://lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.laptop.org I will be giving you personalized recommendations of mailing lists in your mycourses and Wiki introductions. See you in class, Wesley Dillingham.
