Hi there Mr Holt,<br><br>My name is Rodrigo Hartmann, I am a software developer/consultant with nearly a decade of experience in enterprise/web development using the Java programming language and its related technologies. I've been around the world for a quite a while, delivering software for companies in Europe, Asia and in the Middle East, and I always wanted to contribute my skills to give back to society some of joy I got so early in my career. I live in Québec City since the beginning of the year, and I joined the e-mail list hoping to find more information about what's being done on the software level to provide more tools for the OLPC project.<br>
<br>I'd like to ask if you know somebody in the organization who I could contact in order to present myself and offer my talents to contribute to the project. I am already a volunteer for the canadian red cross, and would love to help out using my expertise on this amazing project, if it is ever needed.<br>
<br>Best regards,<br>Rodrigo H.<br><br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 16, 2012 at 12:03 PM, Holt <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:holt@laptop.org" target="_blank">holt@laptop.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

13. "INSERT DONGLE NOW" warning will appear. While optional, this configuration step is critical for those using an USB Ethernet dongle to connect to their LAN/Intranet. Type "Y" to continue<br>
<br>
How do you envision the architecture? It sounds like wifi is for WAN and USB/Ethernet is for LAN and the XO/server gets an address via dhcp over wifi and provides addresses over Ethernet. What would prevent the other XOs from simply acquiring an ip over the same wifi as the XO/server and bypassing it for routing/gateway services? Are you thinking there will be two wifi hubs and the WAN one will be password protected so that the other XOs can not connect?<br>

<br>
During the current installation process, yes, the XO's Wifi/ears are for WAN (upstream Internet), and USB Ethernet is for LAN (downstream XOs).<br>
<br>
EG. this is a very useful default to test an XS quickly/harmlessly in a school with existing Wifi infrastructure.<br>
<br>
But Jerry should clarify several other useful network topologies in another email later today.<br>

Can you recommend a compatible USB Ethernet device? (I know there is a page on <a href="http://laptop.org" target="_blank">laptop.org</a>, but it is a little dated.)<br>

<br>
Most all USB Ethernet devices work in my/our experience, but <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/USB_ethernet_adaptors" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/USB_<u></u>ethernet_adaptors</a> still has its value. If it's supported by Fedora 17, it should just work.<br>

George Hunt made key improvements in the last hour, so we're looking for<br>
early testers for XS Community Edition, that may later become XS 0.8:<br>

Caveat: This is an ALPHA release at best, and will improve dramatically<br>
as the week progresses :)<br>
