Hi everyone,

Quite a lot has happened at Waveplace over the last year or two, though you might not know it, given how little we blog or post videos these days.

In summary, we've brought laptops to 33 schools, most of them in Haiti.  We've trained 165 adults to become mentors.  We've created 16 weeks worth of courseware using Etoys and Sugar.

All of that is prequel, though, to what we comes next.   I often joke that Waveplace's mission is "Nice laptop, now what?"  (training)   Well, now it's become, "Nice training, now what?"   The answer is ... Assessment, Courseware, Outreach, Reflection, Network ... aka, Project Acorn.

As Project Acorn unfolds, I'll make video logs instead of written blogs, posting them in rough form to keep folks informed.

or here: http://youtube.com/waveplace

or here: http://www.facebook.com/waveplace  (please like us)

or here: http://twitter.com//waveplace  (please follow)


I'll be posting a new video every weekday, always at noon, New York time.

My hope is to use the videos as a vehicle for recording some of the experience we've accumulated in the last 4+ years, so that others may benefit.

And no, I don't like seeing myself on video or hearing myself talk.  Quite the contrary.   But it's the simplest fastest way to do this.

Take care,
Tim

Really? It appears so. Thanks to Tony Forster's blog posting.
http://tonyforster.blogspot.com/2012/02/xo-laptop-in-antarctica.html
We now have a XO 1.5 in Antarctica! You can click on the photo and
look for three dots on the hinge in the larger version. Three dots on
the hinge indicate that it's a XO 1.5

When you heat Sugar it caramelizes. What happens to "Sugar" in extreme
cold? Hmm...

cheers,
Sameer

Hi,

Named after the island for which it was developed, XS-0.7 "Ometepe" is released.

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Installing_Software_0.7

Changes since beta 2:
- Fixed xs-activation listening on IPv6 local

Thanks to everyone who has looked at this, and especially to Martin
for his help/guidance, and for putting up with high pressure on a
tight schedule to get this out the door on time.

Today we are installing this on 13 servers to be sent to the island of
Ometepe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ometepe), with the remaining 19
to follow soon after. I'll send some photos of the deployment early
next month.

Thanks,
Daniel

Doing this the first time and must admit I'm a Linux novice. I had
trouble with the prep of my usb device on this step:

./mkusbinstall.sh /path/to/OLPC-School-Server-0.7-i386.iso /dev/sdb1

in mkusbinstall.sh :

livecd-iso-to-disk --format --msdos --reset-mbr "$1" "$2"

should be:
livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr "$1" "$2"


as --format and --msdos are not options in livecd-iso-to-disk


Thanks,
Cherry

This means you aren't running Fedora 16 as is noted in the
documentation: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Techniques_and_Configuration#Installing_from_USB
You may be able to hack around this as you have noted, but I don't
know if you will succeed. The important things are to reset the MBR
and format as VFAT because I've seen various systems that won't boot
off other configurations. Feel free to add sub-notes to the wiki if
you are successful.

You don't need to create an overlay - this is an install disk, not live media.

Thanks for testing!
Daniel
