Hey Martin! JD also hooked us up with Tom Nguyen, product manager for the Flash Player and here's what Tom said:
"Great to meet you. I actually recently graduated with an MA in Education from Stanford, where I spent a bit of time focusing on constructionist learning methods, so it's great to hear about Flash + OLPC. As JD mentioned, please feel to free to pass along questions you might have, and I'll see if I can help or connect you to the right folks. Thanks. --Tom" Pretty cool, no? Forwarded to Ed & Reuben, waiting for replies. :) JD was also asking for consolidated info that he could pass along to the right people & I think the best thing for us to do is edit the wiki pages (or create separate wiki pages) for the issues (like installation, etc), suggestions & wishlists to get Flash & AIR installing & running smoothly on the XOs both for Sugar and Fedora, and then forward those to the Adobe folks. I know that Flash has traditionally gotten Flak from the open source community as not being good for the open web because the only authoring tools were commercial products from Adobe, but now Adobe has given open source tools for people to create SWFs and AIR apps via Flex. Cheers! -Naz > From my PoV, Flash is ok installation wise (hey! some optimisation for > our gpu would be cool, as would finding a way to use xv on linux > again), but AIR installer needs to be a plain rpm. The current .bin > installer unpacks itself and builds an rpm on the fly -- this means > you need to have rpm "dev" packages on the target image, that's > problematic. > > Maybe forward to jd? -- carlos nazareno http://twitter.com/object404 http://www.object404.com -- interactive media specialist zen graffiti studios http://www.zengraffiti.com -- "if you don't like the way the world is running, then change it instead of just complaining." _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
