submitting to give a presentation on School2.0 <a href="http://etoolkit.org" target="_blank">http://etoolkit.org</a><br>
but<br>
if it works for you, instead of having my own booth i could help at the<br>
OLPC booth. at least i could potentially leave to attend some of the OSSIE<br>
especially if my presentation is selected. i didn't go to much of<br>
anything, last year because i was talking to people in the booth all the<br>
time.<br>
<br>
also, how can i get pineapple on the XO's? i downloaded the .img file from<br>
<a href="http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/os/official/883/" target="_blank">http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/os/official/883/</a><br>
which i think i found on<br>
<a href="http://distrowatch.org" target="_blank">http://distrowatch.org</a><br>
But I did not know how to create the .zip file.<br>
<br>
Oh! I just saw the:<br>

<br>
I'll try using it with the corresponding:<br>

<br>
the other thing i'm most interested in is learning how to deploy is the<br>
OLPC server and then get it running in a virtual server. that's something<br>
i'd like to do at the scale11 olpc booth.<br>

Hi Folks,<br>
<br>
<br>
Great News! I've received confirmation that we will be able to have a<br>
booth for OLPC/Sugar Labs at SCaLE 10X. This also means we will need some<br>
volunteers again to help with the booth. Also, it would be great if we<br>
could offer something special to people who stop by. I have an idea of<br>
what that might be...<br>
<br>
<br>
In case you missed it, there is a brand new version of Sugar on a Stick<br>
(SoaS Pineapple). It is built on Fedora 16 and the Fedora project is<br>
distributing it as a Fedora Spin: "Discover. Reflect. Share. Learn." via<br>
DVD with several computer magazines in Europe, and hopes to do the same<br>
elsewhere. But, you don't have to wait for that, you can download it<br>
yourself and start playing right away!<br>
<br>
<br>
My thought is that we can either get some of the disks from Fedora or make<br>
some ourselves to give out at the booth. We could also set up an "SoaS<br>
Creation Station" in our booth where people could bring their own usb<br>
sticks and we could make the bootable SoaS sticks for them. We will need<br>
someone with a PC-type laptop to do that to run the Live USB Creator<br>
program.<br>
<br>
<br>
For this. we will need a crew who knows how to do it, and the best way to<br>
learn is to try it for yourselves! I am including Peter Robinson's email<br>
re the new SoaS version so you can learn more about it and follow the<br>
links to learn more about it and try it.<br>
I'm sure some of you may have other ideas of things we can put in the<br>
booth! We need to share.... Maybe a running slideshow of Contributors<br>
Program projects from around the world? Anyone have equipment to do this?<br>
(And know how?).<br>
<br>
<br>
We will need to do some planning for this. Watch for a suggested meeting<br>
FTF sometime in early December. Meanwhile, let's set up a Google Docs<br>
place to work on it and to put everyones great ideas for this. Any<br>
volunteers to set it up for us?<br>
A reminder, SCaLE 10X will be at the Hilton LAX on the weekend of January<br>
20-22, 2012. The CFP is still open but will close soon, so if you would<br>
like to do a presentation, now is the time to register as a speaker and<br>
submit your proposal. Here is the link for that:<br>

The original email is below. Have fun exploring SoaS Pineapple!<br>
