Hi Solomon,<br><br>You're pretty much welcome! Hope your students can get started with the information enlisted by Cherry. And we look forward for more collaboration on your end as we start the organization. <br><br>
I've worked with Miss Ethel and Paul Inventado before on Open Source Software Development (as DLSU elective) so I believe we can really pull out something to collaborate on this especially on educational content and XO activities that are suited for Filipino children.<br>
<br>Cheers,<br>Mafe<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 2:13 AM, Cherry Withers <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cherry.withers@gmail.com">cherry.withers@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Thank you for your interest and welcome to the group! We're in much need of developer<br>support and any contribution is greatly appreciated. <br><br>In addition to what Carlos has said, I just want to add that one can start developing even with lack of the hardware<br>
itself. Here are some links for XO emulators and also Sugar on Stick:<br><br>QEMU runs a virtual XO in any machine and is what's mostly used by OLPC developers:<br><a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OS_images_for_emulation" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OS_images_for_emulation</a><br>
<br>You can also run Sugar on top of existing OS (Windows Vista currently unsupported) through a <br>USB stick (called "Sugar on a Stick"). Details can be found on this page:<br><a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Downloads" target="_blank">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Downloads</a><br>
<br>Hope this helps. Jerome Gotangco can chime in for additional tech info.. <br><br>Cheers,<br><font color="#888888">---Cherry <br></font><div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jun 28, 2009 at 9:29 PM, Carlos Nazareno <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:object404@gmail.com" target="_blank">object404@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
Some people from La Salle are interested in helping out with OLPC<br>
Philippines. Below is an email from Solomon See from the La Salle CCS<br>
faculty.<br>
<br>
Solomon, to start participating in OLPC Philippines, it would be best<br>
to join the OLPC Philippines mailing list here at:<br>
<a href="mailto:olpc-philippines@lists.laptop.org" target="_blank">olpc-philippines@lists.laptop.org</a><br>
You can subscribe at:<br>
<a href="http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-philippines" target="_blank">http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-philippines</a><br>
<br>
You can also find more information at the OLPC Ph wiki at:<br>
<a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Philippines" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Philippines</a><br>
<br>
Solomon, Rey, if you can come up with a good proposal, you can request<br>
developer XO Laptop units from OLPC Boston itself. Details are at the<br>
URL below:<br>
<a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Contributors_program" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Contributors_program</a><br>
<br>
Basically you fill up a form and if your request is approved, the<br>
units will be shipped to your group.<br>
<br>
Charles, Sandeep, it would be great if you guys can coordinate with<br>
the guys from La Salle as Solomon and co. are pretty enthusiastic<br>
about OLPC.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>

"Anyway, DGDL and DLSU College of Computer Studies is interested in<br>
helping out in<br>
the OLPC PH project, in creating Games and Educational Content for the<br>
OLPC. We have<br>
reviewed the specs and capabilities of the OLPC from the site and have a game<br>
project and development ideas for it. We could also help out in localizing the<br>
applications that are in the OLPC. We are also wondering how we could<br>
get access to<br>
OLPC's so we can start reviewing and evaluating the capabilities of<br>
the device and<br>
field out development projects to student as their thesis starting<br>
next term (June<br>
2009).<br>
<br>
If you have any inquiries or would like to contact us for possible<br>
collaborations in<br>
this matter, you can contact me at this address or at this mobile number<br>
0917-8958530. Hope to hear from you soon.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
