I appreciate the difficulties that you are having (some of which I share), and I would like to assist, but these documents do not say, either in Spanish or English, what you have failed to learn, nor which parts of Sugar do not work for you. Let us see whether we can make the record we need as a basis for a fully productive discussion. I am not on most of the lists that you sent your plea to, so I have to ask you to copy this to them, and invite others to join our conversation here. Have you been directed to these resources? Here is what I and others had trouble with at first, but mostly found answers for: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/The_Undiscoverable There are Sugar manuals at http://booki.flossmanuals.net/ There are Wiki pages on individual Sugar Activities, linked from http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities#Native_Sugar_Activities Do these answer any of your questions or solve any of your problems? Please give us a list of the remaining problems. We will add them to the page on The Undiscoverable, and to various Sugar manuals at FLOSS Manuals and in the Sugar Labs Replacing Textbooks project. http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Replacing_Textbooks We will do our best to get answers, file bugs, and do whatever else is appropriate. This will not only help us to help you, but to help all who come after. I would ask any translators reading this to prioritize these materials, particularly for translation to Spanish, but to other languages as well. FLOSS Manuals is publishing a Spanish translation of Make Your Own Sugar Activities. http://translate.flossmanuals.net/ActivitiesGuideSugar_es/Introduction We intend to translate the rest of the existing Sugar manuals into Spanish and other languages, and to write more. > Carlos Rabassa > Voluntario > Red de Apoyo al Plan Ceibal > Montevideo, Uruguay > > ___ > Lista olpc-Sur > olpc-...@lists.laptop.org > http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-sur -- Edward Mokurai (默雷/धर्ममेघशब्दगर्ज/دھرممیگھشبدگر ج) Cherlin Silent Thunder is my name, and Children are my nation.

[IAEP] FW: [OLPC Bolivia] No logro aprender Sugar / I cannot learn Sugar
Hi Folks, This is a FYI... Carlos Rebassa, a Rap Ceibal volunteer many of us met in Uruguay has come up with a surprisingly critical complaint about Sugar. He included a link to an English version, but did not send it to IAEP or the Support Gang lists. I have no idea what prompted his criticisms nor can I figure out exactly what they are. Carlos is fluent in English. He lived in New York and sold Real Estate there for many years. If any of you want to reply, you can send it to the olpc-sur list or directly to Carlos.

I have somewhat limited data [1] and compositing [2] options for a realistic and very time accurate rendering of what you may really see (the Moon activity renders an Earth centric view with no knowledge of where on the surface of the planet you may be), but it does try to visually mark the event. Also note in the bottom left, the information panel shows the upcoming luna/sola eclipse time. Regards, --Gary [1] I'm using nice (but fairly small) slice of accurate dataset NASA kindly provide for public use, I've avoided most dynamic algorithms so far as I'm worried they have license terms that break under OSS distribution, and I'm not a lawyer. I do have one set I might be able to use, but it is not as accurate. [2] Hoping to switch to a different drawing api's so I can do more interesting things with the visuals. > Here is a link to see whether it will be visible in the sky where you are > (weather permitting): > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Visibility_Lunar_Eclipse_2011-06-15.png > > Check your XOs to see if it is there too.

If you can't catch this eclipse, see when you can catch the next ones where you live: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=next+lunar+eclipse+at+current+geoIP+location http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=when+is+the+next+solar+eclipse And usually you can see when the ISS is next visible where you are, but right now it just shows you where it is: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=International+Space+Station+next+rise http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=ISS+at+10%3A29+AM Regards, Nick On Tue, June 14, 2011 11:31 am, Caryl Bigenho wrote: > > Hi Folks, > > > > Is there an "Easter Egg" in the Moon Activity?

I wanted to let you know about the first Computer-Based Math Education Summit taking place 10-11 November 2011 at The Royal Institution, London. We're bringing together a broad range of stakeholders in math and STEM--real users of math, employers, and those in government as well as educators and technology providers--to answer this question: "In an era of ubiquitous computing, how should we rebuild math education from the ground up, to keep pace with and drive progress in the real world?" Would you like to join us? As a supporter of computerbasedmath.org, we're very interested in inviting you. For more and to register your interest, please visit: http://www.computerbasedmath.org/events/londonsummit2011 I sincerely hope you will be able to join us and I look forward to seeing you in November.

[IAEP] Easter Egg In Moon Activity?
Hi Folks, Is there an "Easter Egg" in the Moon Activity? Last December I turned on my XO to see what the moon would look like durning the last Lunar Eclipse. It was pink! Was this a fluke? ... my imagination? or a fun thing put in by the developer of the Moon Activity? Don't know for sure. But, even though the eclipse, set for tomorrow in parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia, won't be visable in North America, it might be on the XO! Be sure to check the time... there is an international date line involved. When the eclipse ended, the moon returned to a greyscale image. Here is a link to see whether it will be visible in the sky where you are (weather permitting): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Visibility_Lunar_Eclipse_2011-06-15.png Check your XOs to see if it is there too.
