[IAEP] Sugestion about the Xos

[nanonano]

I have a little suggestion for the hardware developers of the Xos:

On the Xo 1.5 the SSD is a removable Micro-SD card. Here in Uruguay they comes 
with an 8Gb card.

A new Micro-SD card of 8 Gb has a value in the market from 10 to 20 dollars.

On the XO 1.0 the SSD was welded on the motherboard, that was a very good thing 
to avoid robberies

Maybe in the developed countries this little thing it is very tiny to consider, but here in Uruguay there are lots of 
junkies that will kill for 10 dollars.




Fortunately this info it is not known by all the people, but we know that bad 
news spreads very fast




I'm not sure if the XO 1.75 have a removable micro-sd memory card or it is welded, i've seen pictures on the internet 
with the two options.


On the wiki there is a picture ith the SSD welded:

But there are other pictures of a motherboard with a micro-sd card: (maybe an 
earlier version of XO 1.75?

Re: [IAEP] video of XOs in the Amazon

[Edward Mokurai Cherlin]

I added a paragraph on the documentary and the YouTube excerpt, with
references, to the English-language version of the page. Can somebody
let the children know so that they can translate it for the
Spanish-language page?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestina,_Peru

I have wanted to suggest this practice of having students write
Wikipedia pages as a regular part of the curriculum for every OLPC
deployment, starting with pages in the local languages on every local
subject, and expanding to translations by students of various other
languages as they become sufficiently capable. I will write this up
for my blog, http://replacingtextbooks.wordpress.com/

This page mentions caywa, evidently a local crop for which there is no
Wikipedia page in either Spanish or English. I do not find it in
Spanish Wiktionary, either. Here is another page that mentions caywa
without explanation.

http://sachamama.livingroutes.org/2011/07/28/shukshuyaku/

Apparently the standard spelling is caigua, and the name is derived
from Quechua kaywa.

http://es.wiktionary.org/wiki/caigua

So I added a link to

Cyclanthera pedata
«Caigua» redirige aquí

Please thank the students for me, and let them know that I was
delighted to have the opportunity for a collaboration with them. No
hablo español realmente, pero sé leer. Qué los niños me escriben, por
favor. Muchas gracias.
