Re: [Sugar-devel] Fwd: Sugar on the Asus Eee 701
The current solution is the Ubuntu Netbook Remix and Sugar from alsroot's PPA. I used the Karmic Koala Beta and updated to the latest packages. You can also try TOAST, it is Jaunty based, has the regular Ubuntu graphical installer, and it is reported to work well on eee's. http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Trisquel_On_A_Sugar_Toast ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

[Sugar-devel] Keyboard
Hi im having problems in changing the keyboard language. The idea is that when I plug in a keyboard to the Xo, the language is not in spanish (doesnt recognize the ñ, etc). I've found 2 solutions to this problem: Changing the variable KEYTABLE, found at /etc/sysconfig/keyboard, from es to la Or creating an archive /home/olpc/.xkb with the same modification. With both solutions the problems is solved, but only if the keyboard is conected when I restart sugar, if I plug in the keyboard after sugar is restarted the new configuration doesnt work any more..

Re: [Sugar-devel] Keyboard
The problem is that .xkb and sysconfig are accessed at start up, not when the new keyboard is detected. If you type: setxkbmap latam from the terminal, it will reset the keyboard without having to restart Sugar. However, I do not know how to trigger this automatically. regards. -walter On Tue, Oct 27, 2009 at 9:55 AM, Bruno Fabiano brunomany...@hotmail.com wrote: Hi im having problems in changing the keyboard language.

Well, .xsession won't be triggered by the insertion of the keyboard, so I think it is the same problem, and it will set the XO keyboard to latam, which is not exactly what you want. -walter Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:01:37 +0100 From: martin.langh...@gmail.com To: walter.ben...@gmail.com CC: sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org; brunomany...@hotmail.com Subject: Re: [Sugar-devel] Keyboard On Tue, Oct 27, 2009 at 3:00 PM, Walter Bender walter.ben...@gmail.com wrote: from the terminal, it will reset the keyboard without having to restart Sugar.

[Sugar-devel] Tutorius Demo and Meeting
As discussed before, Tutorius is a project done by 9 students from Universit de Sherbrooke (Qubec, Canada) aiming to integrate interactive tutorials inside Sugar to guide Sugar users in learning the platform and its activities. Our goal for december is to be able to cover most of the content of the Floss manual. We are doing this along 3 axis: Execution: Add the mecanisms needed to Sugar to support execution of tutorials Creation: Provide tools to create tutorials from within Sugar in a GUI environment Sharing: Provide a platform to share tutorials on the web We have shown demos in the past of basic capabilities (in chronological order), here, here and at a presentation given last April. Next Friday, we will hang around on IRC at 13h EST and give a live demo of the current state of the project using Yuuguu or something equivalent, with an execution engine running in a separate process than the activity, an overhauled tutorial creator (still running inside the activity process) and maybe a quick overview of the sharing platform based around the addon sharing platform from Mozilla. We would like to exchange ideas with people and discuss technical matters with the following goals: Receive feedback on the work done so far Discuss the possible integration of our system with Sugar, the SugarLabs sharing platform and the official release cycle Anticipate possible evolutions Exchange ideas and pointers to similar work and papers to inspire ourselves and avoid duplicating research efforts Our team will disband around mid-december, but I'll keep maintaining the project and there might be possibilities for another team of 6-8 people from Universit de Sherbrooke to push the project further in January for another year. It would be really exciting to see a collaboration with SugarLabs continue in the future! For those interested in a more technical view of the inner working of the system, see Tutorius Architecture, especially the Component section. See you on IRC on Friday at 13h EST!

Re: [Sugar-devel] Deducto and Color Deducto activities - creating your own game mechanism
Caroline, Appreciate your pointers and feedback. On Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 7:25 AM, Caroline Meeks carol...@solutiongrove.comwrote: Hi, This is cool thanks! Is there a way to lower the floor? I am sorry, but I didn't get this part. Could you please elaborate. One of the Sugar sayings is Low Floor, No Ceiling that is its really really easy to start, very little learning curve to climb, but you can still do powerful things as you learn more and more. Caroline, completely agree. I think we should focus on simple geometrical shapes for Deducto, as you mentioned below. We hope to cover primary lessons in geometry through Deducto by the third week of December. Perhaps, that might lower the floor. In reference to Color Deducto, we are still thinking about a suitable framework. Wish if you could suggest some ideas. Is there a version of this game that a 6 year old could have easy success with that would help ramp it up? Wish if you could share your ideas on how we could work and improve on this area. Will having a hint feature in the game that pops up after a couple of tries, and after viewing 5-8 true boards and false boards makes things better? Hmm, I'm not actually very good at designing games but I suggest taking a look at the Sudoku game and Implode. Maybe start with a very small board and totally obvious rules? Sure. I'll have a close look at Sudoku and Implode games. Thank you. How can we teach someone who can't read the instructions on how to play? Workflows demonstrated through videos might help. Please have a look at these videos http://www.scalablec.com/videos/12/how-to-play-deducto? http://www.scalablec.com/videos/13/how-to-play-colordeducto? Kindly let me know your feedback on them. Suzanne, the 4th grade teacher at the GPA, has the students play a Guess my rule game with shapes. For example, All right angles Only Triangles, Two sides the same. Very interesting. We will be working on developing lesson plans using Deducto and Color Deducto this winter. This use-case will be explored in detail before we implement this in the activities. Wish if you could provide us with lesson plans that teachers at GPA would like us to implement in these activities. Thank you very much for sharing these ideas. Right now they play it with cut out shapes. One student makes a secret rule (e.g. all right angles) and the other student selects shapes and is told if they match the rule. They have to guess the rule. Caroline, thank you. This information is indeed very helpful. Do we have a place to put game ideas so programmers could pick them up if they want a project? Not at this juncture. We'll start this section within the next 2 days. Great! We have started Sugar-Devel Lounge at http://seeta.in/wiki/index.php?title=Sugar-Devel_Lounge.
