[Olpc-open] Flash content for OLPC

[Nagarajan Vadivel]

Hi,
I did follow carefully the discussion thread on the efficacious use of flash
content for OLPC XO users.  My view is that OLPC initiative shall not be
restricted to only Open Source.  At the server level trying for a trade off
in terms of power and cost will inhibit the ease of use.  I an sure that
soon Adobe will release an open source version to enable the more wider use
of Adobe technology for OLPC
I tried to make the OLPC XO interoperable with Flash Media Sever to access
the Flash content.  Please visit
http://www.moodle.elearning.edu
use the user name = student and password student
After login select the moodle course mathzone
Here you have the moodle based content on maths for students in the age
group 6 to 12
In the mathzone corse in the central frak a link titled online interaction -
student is available
If you click then it will take you to flash media server with a suite for
flash based whiteboard, audio, video and interactive presentation
We tried etutoring too.  But due to hardware compatibility issue with webcam
we are not ablt use XO webcam
Please consider the point that we need powerful servers with commercial but
widely available tool such as Flash.
The philosopy is the same - economy of scale.  More users and the cost will
be less
We installed opera software at the local XO and everything is fine
Gnash work may be an important point but at the same time we plan to work
with an assumption that OLPC is a giant project and requires the muscles of
giants like Adobe and Microsoft
They are surely and purely business people and already the saw a big
business in OLPC
