[IAEP] 3700 download
A quick grep of the logfiles show over 3700 downloads of soas-strawberry.iso from the primary download site. About 3 pm eastern time we added European mirrors so we don't have a complete count. I think most of our download server problems were related to memory. We will do a full debrief in a few days. Solarsail, the primary static and wiki server, held up like a champ.

[IAEP] Mac Woes
Hi... OK, here's the "dumb question" for today. I am sitting here in the wilds of MT with only a Mac and would like to create the latest Strawberry Soas for my Mac. Tomorrow evening I will be presenting a talk/hands-on for the Bozeman MT LUG about SoaS and the contributors program. The club president, a prof in the CS dept at MSU in Bozeman, has already created a lot of SoaSs and Live CDs, but I wanted to try it tonight at home so I will know what to expect. I don't have access to a Windows machine here. So I have two possible ideas for how I could do this: 1) Create the SoaS using Windows in my Bootcamp Windows partition. (Will this work?). 2) Use the same procedure we use to create a software update USB for the XO. It will work on either a Mac or Windows. Here is a link to those instructions: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/No-fail_update Steps 2-4 would be the ones needed for this (with variations to meet the actual conditions for SoaS). Would method 2 work? Would method 1 work? If niether will work, I'll just have to wait until tomorrow evening. If either, or both will work, we can revise the instructions for others who may be stranded in the boonies with nothing but their trusty Macs.

Disponible para su descarga gratuita en www.sugarlabs.org, Sugar on a Stick se pueden cargar en una memoria flash USB de 1 GB y se utiliza para acceder directamente en cualquier PC o NETBOOK a la galardonada plataforma de educación. Funciona en los últimos equipos Mac con un CD ayudante de booteo y en Windows usando virtualización. Sugar on a Stick está diseñado para trabajar con un servidor en la escuela que puede proporcionar la distribución de contenidos, recolectar tareas, hacer copias de seguridad, integrarse con Moodle, y filtrar el acceso a Internet. La versión Strawberry lanzada hoy está pensada para pruebas en clase; los comentarios (feedb...@sugarlabs.org) se incorporarán en la próxima versión, disponible a finales de 2009. "Un año después de su fundación, Sugar Labs está cumpliendo su promesa de educación para un segundo millón de estudiantes", comentó Walter Bender, fundador y director ejecutivo. "Sugar es preferido porque es una excelente experiencia de aprendizaje para los niños pequeños: fomenta la participación y a su vez es accesible. Sugar on a Stick es una forma de utilizar Sugar sin tocar el disco duro del computador. También es muy adecuado para PCs lentas, antiguas y netbooks de bajos recursos. Hay una versión para la OLPC XO-1 y se suministrará con los nuevos ordenadores portátiles XO-1.5 en el otoño. " Sugar on a Stick ofrece una coherente y consistente experiencia. Reduce costos, proporcionando flexibilidad en opciones de hardware, permitiendo a las escuelas mantener su actual inversión y equipamiento. Los estudiantes pueden beneficiarse aumentando la apropiación de los computadores en el hogar, ya que llevando Sugar on a Stick a su casa, cada estudiante tiene un ambiente de computación que los padres también pueden compartir. A su vez proporciona acceso fuera de línea a aplicaciones y contenido dado que no todos los estudiantes tienen acceso a Internet en casa. En base a un esfuerzo continuo para tener Sugar on a Stick listo para el aula, Sugar Labs ha sido galardonado con una subvención de 20.000 dólares de la Fundación de Beneficencia Gould para implementar Sugar en Gardner Pilot Academy (Academia Piloto Gardner), una escuela primaria pública ubicada en una de las más cultural y lingüísticamente diversas secciones de Boston, Massachusetts. Las actividades de Aprendizaje son el corazón de Sugar. Sugar on a Stick incluye 40 actividades de interés para estudiantes jóvenes, tales como leer, escribir, pintar y Etoys. Cientos de actividades están disponibles para su descarga gratuita en la Biblioteca de actividades de Sugar ( http://activities.sugarlabs.org/es-ES/sugar/). La mayoría de actividades "Sugarized/Azucarizadas" tienen la colaboración entre estudiantes incorporada, estudiantes y profesores trabajan, jugan y aprenden en las mismas actividades juntos. La Plataforma de Aprendizaje Sugar es abierta, por lo que, aprovechando el trabajo de otros proyectos de código abierto, el software existente para niños se pueden integrar en ella, por ejemplo, la aclamada Suite GCompris con 100 actividades desarrolladas en los últimos cinco años por Bruno Coudoin fue añadida recientemente a Sugar, incluyendo actividades como el ajedrez, Geografía, y Sudoku. Los maestros y los padres interesados en las Actividades de Sugar y su moderna interfaz para niños pueden ver videos cortos en el recientemente inaugurado canal de Sugar en Labs Dailymotion (http://www.dailymotion.com/sugarlabs). Los visitantes son bienvenidos a LinuxTag hablar con contribuyentes de SugarLabs en el stand 7.2a 110a. María del Pilar Sáenz ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)

Re: [IAEP] [Sugar-devel] BBC News!
:D I wouldn't say every media... lots of outlets received the release and didn't cover it, although they may reconsider when they see the BBC coverage. The BBC journalist understood the significance of Sugar running on old PCs, netbooks, and Intel Classmates - an installed base of 400,000 machines which could easily be converted to Sugar machines...

Heads up DC locals! I just received e-mail from the regional director of FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics, and she tells me that Denise Lewis, the DC Assistant Regional Director and DC Senior Mentor, will be at NECC. Given the stuff we're talking about doing with HacDC (http://hacdc.org/), Scratch boards, SoaS, etc and the fact that the DC Robotics folks did the Scratch Day in Takoma Park while we were doing Scratch Day in Arlington, this seems like a good time to meet and show off the 15 XO's we're bringing to the party. (I don't know what toys she's bringing.) For those of you unfamiliar with FIRST, it was founded by Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway (among several other things), "To transform our culture by creating a world where science and technology are celebrated and where young people dream of becoming science and technology heroes." according to the official web site.

Re: [IAEP] Who is at LinuxTag this week?
Hi Greg, I will try to be there Saturday/Sunday (ie: after LT, but in time for Fudcon). When is your presentation on education and foss? Will you mention the wild success of Moodle? (Hint! hint!) Educators rave about it, but the geek world doesn't see it as sexy. It doesn't have to be sexy -- it has to be useful :-) Hope to see you there! martin On Wed, Jun 24, 2009 at 11:05 AM, Greg DeKoenigsberg wrote: > > I see that we have booth space -- who from Sugar is tending to it?

I see that we have booth space -- who from Sugar is tending to it? I'm happy to come hang out for a while, but when I was there earlier today, the booth was empty. --g -- Computer Science professors should be teaching open source. Help make it happen.
