Hi,<br>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<br>
I tried to make the OLPC XO interoperable with Flash Media Sever to access the Flash content. Please visit<br><a href="http://www.moodle.elearning.edu">http://www.moodle.elearning.edu</a><br>use the user name = student and password student<br>
After login select the moodle course mathzone<br>Here you have the moodle based content on maths for students in the age group 6 to 12<br>In the mathzone corse in the central frak a link titled online interaction - student is available<br>
If you click then it will take you to flash media server with a suite for flash based whiteboard, audio, video and interactive presentation<br>We tried etutoring too. But due to hardware compatibility issue with webcam we are not ablt use XO webcam<br>
Please consider the point that we need powerful servers with commercial but widely available tool such as Flash.<br>The philosopy is the same - economy of scale. More users and the cost will be less<br>We installed opera software at the local XO and everything is fine<br>
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<br>They are surely and purely business people and already the saw a big business in OLPC<br>
