Re: [IAEP] Infra-red photography with the XO camera
Anish If someone can get the night mode on the camera to work, it might turn out to be an interesting experiment ;-) I was able to alter the camera controls, crank up the gain and get to the noise limit but may not have enabled a specific 'night mode' http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2651 Tony ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)

Re: [IAEP] [Sugar-devel] Infra-red photography with the XO camera
That's because the relevant code doesn't seem to be present in the xo1-camera driver, although the ov7670 datasheet documents that a night mode is available on the sensor module.

[IAEP] Any olpc/Sugar/ICT4E people in Spain?
Hi all, as some of you might know I moved to Madrid about a month ago and will be here at least until the end of May but possibly also until late summer. Now I was wondering whether anyone here knows people working on olpc/Sugar/ICT4E who are based here in Madrid or elsewhere in Spain? I've looked around quite a bit but unfortunately didn't find anything related to olpc/Sugar/ICT4E so far, plus similarly minded communities (e.g. LUGs, hacker spaces, etc.) also seem to be quite rare around here. Anyway, I'd appreciate any pointers, suggestions or contacts in this area.

Sorry, can't help here plus similarly minded communities (e.g. LUGs, hacker spaces, etc.) also seem to be quite rare around here. Well, in a country in which several hundred thousands of computers in schools use FOSS, maybe your observation is not very accurate. MAX is the name of the GNU Linux distro used in Madrid, you may start trying to contact them, there's a very active group (I live some 600km from Madrid, in Andalusia).

In Spain the Moodle community is very strong -- peaks around Catalunya. Vasque country is strong on alternative linux distros for education (non-Sugar afaik). Again, Madrid is a bit weaker on this track.

Re: [IAEP] [fonc] English language literacy software?

(If you have things to share that are not related to computing, please reply to me privately.) My wife, Susana, works at an agency that helps immigrant families from all over the world settle in Canada. They are currently looking for software or online resources to help improve literacy for youth (and possibly younger children), sometimes teaching EAL (English as an Additional Language) from square one. Susana and I saw some connection with VPRI, as at least some of the children have little past exposure to computers, and that literacy is not about a specific language, but about solidifying new knowledge with experimentation and creative expression. I've admired Kim's handbook that guides math learners through Squeak-based experiments. Is there an approach embracing this model (computer as an empty world for performing experiments, not as a multiple-choice quiz automator) with exercises involving language? To give some political context, the conventional advice currently on the table is to license Rosetta Stone for children. Do you see better alternatives? Does this belong in the scope of FONC?
