[OLPC-Philippines] OLPC PH next meeting: Oct. 17, 2008 at 8PM PHT

[Greg Smith]

Hi Guys,

Great to see all the activity in the Philippines list!

I would love to see an RPG! We need more fun.

One note on Flash, its hard to collect all the Flash threads but I 
believe that Flash 10 is running a little better on the XO. We still 
have a challenge with Flash acceleration not working well with out AMD 
Geode chip. This results in slow performance for Flash, even when using 
the most compatible version. Let me know if you get different results.

I believe someone has pushed AMD and Adobe to talk about that and I'm 
hoping Adobe will fix it soon, but I don't have the details.

On Joyrdie and releases, that is correct that Joyride is the 
"development" branch. It contains the latest and greatest but maybe 
broken too.

More information on Releases and where to get them is at:

with past releases listed under the release notes link:

We're about to post the next major release, 8.2.0 as early as next week. 
You can get a signed version of that by following instructions here:

I suggest that you do any activity or new development with that version.

Let me know if you have any questions or need more info. I'm not that 
expert in activity packaging and game development but I can connect you 
to people who are have any questions.

Thanks,

Greg Smith
OLPC Product Manager
