Hi OLPC NZers!<br>
<br>
Just writing this email, I miss Wellington already. How are things<br>
there? As much as I'd like to, I actually can't join LCA today.<br>
<br>
So I am damned envious of you people there. Hope you take lots of pics<br>
for me to ogle.<br>
<br>
There is a favour I'd want to ask you -- if I was able to make it<br>
to LCA, my big thing would be to promote this wonky little project<br>
that would make a huge difference for the schools that OLPC works with<br>
-- an http proxy that uses an rsync-like protocol to only transmit the<br>
deltas of webpages, making your reloads of slashdot almost free:<br>
<a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Apache_Proxy_CRCsync" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Apache_Proxy_CRCsync</a><br>
<br>
We need C coders that can handle apache internals... and savvy testers<br>
that are happy to compile an apache module, and test it by using it<br>
and telling us about what works and what doesn't...<br>
<br>
LCA will be full of potential victims... maybe you can help me? I'll<br>
send Belgian chocolate in payment...<br>
<br>
Right now it is being pushed by Toby Collet (an Aucklander, now in<br>
London) and by Alex Wulms (from Holland); it's actually based on Rusty<br>
Russell's implementation of crcsync. But it's a tiny effort, and needs<br>
more hands.<br>
<br>
The code works, and I am hoping for someone to help us package it (deb<br>
and rpms for example) so that testers find it easier to play with it.<br>
There is a patch for firefox in the works (to support the protocol).<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
<br>
<br>
