Tested on 5 XOS, concept awesome and appropriate for developing countries (keep working on it please), takes a long time to load - uses a lot of processing power so runs real slow, shares in neighbourbood view but does not collaborate. Usability - ignoring slowness, the edges of the screen are designed to move the user view of the village but the selection buttons at the bottom of the screen are within the scroll trigger zone so when trying to select it is scrolling. Would be good if there was a "where you are now" indicator on the map (for when you have scrolled away from the village). Query - would speed increase if run from school server rather than local? We are extremely excited about this activity and look forward to seeing this improve. <br>
</blockquote><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">Hi, </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">I would firstly like to thank you guys for your comments.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">Well definitely, I accept that moving the screen by making the mouse go towards the edges is a problem, one reaason being that the control buttons are within their range also in some cases it leads to the frame being showed when one takes the mouse pointer to a particular edge. We would work on making the requisite changes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">Also, it would be great to show the exact location of the player on the mini map (right hand side - middle ).</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br>
</div><div style="text-align: left;">And surely working on efficiency is always a priority.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">Regards,</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div>

There were lots of fantastic talks today with a diverse group of people present. We are hoping to hear some kiwi's could be volunteering in the Pacific Islands over the next few months - fingers crossed funds can be found. <br>

<br>Chat<br>Today we had bonjour chat on Ubuntu (pidgin on 8.10 and 8.4) talking to the XOs without issue. Intiating a chat from Ubuntu to the XOs would pop up a chat icon, which clicking on would start a Chat application. However, a OS X macbook with (using ichat bonjour) could see the XO's, but would return the error message "Instant Message connection failed. The other person's computer may not be reachable." Also, there is no way for an XO to initiate a chat, or see non-XO computers using the bonjour chat protocol.<br>
<br>Plans for next couple of weeks - <br>Next Saturday 17 January - learn how to pull apart your XO and put it back together (thanks Callum, our resident expert in XO repairs) - at The Cross<br>Tuesday 27 January - meet Walter Bender, SugarLabs founder - further details to come but can say it will be at Catalyst offices in Willis Street<br>
One day soon - update from Andrew McMillan on OLPC presentations at Linux Conference (February?)<br>One day soon - Martin Langhoff update on School server and python for sugar programming sessions (February?)<br><br>Feel free to invite others.<br>
