[OLPC-Chicago] June 2

[Andrew Harrington]

I plan to attend the June 2 sprint with the two B2 machine Ivan sent me 
at the beginning of this week. 

With my two machines, I have not found much evidence of the mesh net 
working beyond showing an icon for another machine.  I do not know if 
the software is not there yet or I am not finding it or there is an 
issue with my hardware.

I guess Ian will report on the politics, but the idea of the 'Show 
Source' key and keeping things in the simple Python may make them not 
encourage web apps with a lot of javascript.  Of course if the main 
logic is in Python scripts driven by the localhost server, there would 
be Python behind everything.  I wonder if it would show up with the 
'Show Source' button code that Ivan said Guido was coding.

Three days later I will be heading to Tanzania and Kenya with a group of 
Loyola faculty and staff.  Some of the time I will be watching the 
responses of kids in several schools to the XO's I will take.
