R: Integrate AppMenu into Workspace 4.9

2012-02-09 Thread LucaTringali
Hi,
I really like this idea, expecially because I'm dreaming of a KRunner version 
that uses voice recognition, so the user could do the main operations (and have 
access to applications menus) using the voice. 
But I don't know if there are problems in integrating AppMenu in the next 
version of Plasma.

R: Regarding login authentication of students by the containment...in KDE Plasma Educational Desktop

2011-07-14 Thread LucaTringali
Hi Karan,
I think option a is the best. Remembering username and password is not so 
difficult. Maybe there could be problems with little childs, but the teacher 
can have the list of user/password and help the childs if they forget them. Or 
the teacher can simply reset the password of some students if forgotten.

Ogg: Regarding login authentication of students by the containment...in KDE 
Plasma Educational Desktop

Hi
Sooo.. when the student logs in, the custom containment in each student 
desktop has to authenticate the student with the local classroom server...
So we have 2 ways of authenticating the student with the server using kde-
telepathy:
a) We expect the student to remember his username and password, which he will 
enter in a KDialog popup box by the containment, and if he enters the 
username/password correctly( which will be verified by telepathy ), then the 
KDialog box will disappear and his previous saved layout will be fetched from 
the server.
OR
b) We hardcode the username and password for each student's machine, so that a 
desktop A will always have the same username and password, when desktop A loads 
its containment, then its hardcoded account will be used to authenticate it 
with the classroom server, and we then get the student's id number(using a 
KDialog) to fetch his layout from the server.
Option b seems suitable, because students may not remember their details 
properly...where as in option b they only have to remember their id-number, 
which in case a student forgets, the teacher would have a backup copy of it.
but the BIG Problem with option b is that the a student can type some other 
student's id number and get other student's previous layout, instead of his 
own...this will not happen in option a.
In both the above cases, we will have to setup the individual accounts(whether 
they belong to the desktops or the students themselves) initially at the time 
of classroom environment setup.
So I suggest that I continue with option a)..any comments or suggestions?

R: Re: [kde-edu]: R: GSoC Plasma Educational Desktop Proposal v0.2

2011-04-01 Thread LucaTringali
Well, doing exams is the only part Plasma Classroom is missing... I think that 
this software must be complete, so that every important thing (both teaching 
and examining) can be done directly from the desktop: I don't know how the 
situation is in other coutries, but in mine the 80% of teachers does not want 
to use a computer because they says "It's too difficult" (the funny thing is 
that many times the teacher asks help to the students to use some software). 
The only way we can make them use computers, is to create something absolutely 
simple: having everything on the desktop is the first main step.
Post Scriptum: I also think that actually KEduca is dead... I have not been 
able to find a KDE4 version. And it's stupid to do the entire course on 
computers, then do exams on paper...

I think we shouldn't mix stuff that much.

In my opinion plasma classroom has to be a shell, something that lets you 
select what do you want to work on. We have applications for exams.



If an application for doing exams is needed, that should be a different GSoC.



My 2 cents :)

>Home automation is much more than a media center.

Sure, but the interface could be put everywhere. Even if the real job is done 
by another
application (a backend may I say) the graphical interface can be done using a 
plasmoid,
and this one could be put into the mediacenter shell, like actually works for 
choosing the
file to view in PMC, or its welcome screen.
Media Center could be a very easy interface between the user and the home 
automation
system: it's not the system itself, just a frontend.
And, anyway, if you have to choose a computer to install the home automation 
system, would
you choose a laptop, or a mediacenter that, for it's nature, is 24 hours on 24 
present and 
operative in your house?

It would be perfect, in particular talking about Plasma Media Center.
The mediacenter, infact, will be the "head" of the home automation in the
next future.
Since I've been busy for some months I don't know what is the actual 
situation of Plasma media center, anyway, this will be one of the first 
feature 
to add to that shell.

2010-10-20 Thread LucaTringali
Hi Giorgios,happy to see you want to help. There are many ways you can help 
plasma developing:- Create plasmoids: plasmoid can be created using C++, 
Python, Ruby, Javascritpt. In thenext KDE version (4.6) it will be possible to 
create plasmoids with QML. If you want to create plasma widgets really nice in 
a easy way, I recomend you to learn QML: the Qtsite is really useful 
(http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/gettingstartedqml.html), then you can see examples 
of QML plasmoids on SVN 
(http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/base/plasma/kinetic-declarative/).

- Develop Plasma shells: actually we are developing Plasma Desktop, Plasma 
Netbook, andPlasma Media Center. We are also collecting idea for Plasma 
Classroom. You can find informations about these projects on techbase. If you 
need some other particular explanationsjust ask.

- Fixing bugs: you can take a look at bugs with bugs.kde.org: register on it 
and then start to seewhat can you solve. When you have written a solution (and 
seen that it works) you can submitit using the reviewboard.kde.org service. 
First of all, take a look at SVN, GIT, and reviewboarddocumentation.

I hope to have been useful, thanks for joining us.

I think you are not taking the right steps. You should first see where in 
plasma you want to get invoved. You said plasma, what in plasma do you want to 
do? do you have a specific plasmoid need/idea? (there are already lots of them) 
Anything else?

Then you will look at the appropriate tools and language for it.

i don't want to write doc,translate,promote for plasma.i want to fix bugs in

between plasmoids and plasma's code i am more interesting in plasma's code.
as it concerns my chose for plasma,i want to get involved with plasma because 
(for the moment) it is the most interesting project for me.

Obiously we cannot do everything they will ask, but we can try to make real 
the main ideas.
That's because, in my experiences, I seen that only teachers knows what they 
really need.
More than that, if we ask them what they need and we realize it, they will use 
Plasma 
Classroom: it's like we build the solutions just for them. This could be a big 
opportunity
to make a lot of teacher turn from propietary software to KDE and GNU/Linux. 
But we need
to encourage them, giving what they want. Else we will do the same error that 
Microsoft does:
creating things without thinking about the people that will use them.

That's good, but I think that many teachers don't like to subscribe to a 
forum 
just to post a message. I thought about that simple form because in this way
a teacher can submit his/her idea without any kind of obligation (like 
subscribing
to a forum): in 5 minutes he/she can help us. Obiously we can suggest to this 
people that if they want to help a little more they can use our forum, but the
biggest part of teachers will not like to "waste" their time.

Anyway, if you really want to use the forum, I suggest to create a section 
dedicated
to this initiative, and a redirect link easy to remember (like www.kde.
org/classroom/)
so that it's easy to tell it to teachers (Obiously if the address is 
forum.kde.org/viewforum.php?f=199&sid=da79038763865ecbb8e65dc479b2c5bc
you see that it's difficult to remember and less attractive).

Ok, the suggestions could be stored everyone in an
html page. What do you prefer?

Sure, but it's better if it's stored on a KDE server: it
would be more official, and other people could help
translating it. I can create a tar file with all: you will
just need to upload its content on a webserver.

I thought at a form like this:

Create a file called "submityouridea.php":

';
print $textlang;
print '';
print 'Deutch';
print 'English';
print 'French';
print 'Italian';
print '';
print '   ';

$schooltype = $_POST['schooltype'];
$country = $_POST['country'];
$suggest = $_POST['suggest'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$person = $_POST['person'];
if ($suggest!=""){
$suggestion = 'This is the idea suggested  by '.$person.', that teaches in a 
'.$schooltype.' in '.$country.'. The suggestion is:'.$suggest.' We 
can contact this teacher by the e-mail: '.$email;
if( @mail("tringalinv...@libero.it", "plasma-classroom suggestion", 
$suggestion) ) print ''.$textgood.'';
else print ''.$textwrong.'';
}

print '';
print $textperson;
print '';
print $textschool;
print '';
print ''.$schoola.'';
print ''.$schoolb.'';
print ''.$schoolc.'';
print ''.$schoold.'';
print '';
print $textcountry;
print '';
print $textsuggest;
print '';
print $textplease;
print '';
print $textemail;
print '';
print '   ';
?> 

then create a file called "english.php":

 
 
It will send to this mailing list a message containing the suggestion 
submitted by a teacher.
Try it opening the file submityouridea.php with the browser.

plasma classroom

2010-09-13 Thread LucaTringali
Hello everybody,
yesterday took place a Plasma irc meeting.
I was busy, so I want to say some words now,
about Plasma Classroom: I think it's time to
set up a folder on svn for this project. It could
be created cloning the folder of plasma-desktop,
so everyone could start writing code and discuss
it with reviewboard. 
Another idea i had is to create a webpage from
which teachers of all the world can submit 
suggestions for this project.
