I don't  see roundrobin as a solution. (details below)

CacheBoy would be the solution if:
- one or more for could join cacheboy
- if/when cacheboy is open source

Since the mirror do have delta's in the path Mirrorbrain would the
current solution.

It would not solve it.

http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/3/SoaS3-200908182110.iso

http://download2.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/3/SoaS3-200908182110.iso

http://sugarlabs.cdn.cacheboy.net/soas/snapshots/3/SoaS3-200908182110.iso

so 3 out of 5 match, it does not look very promising when grow to more
mirrors. Thats why I like the CacheBoy solution.

Hi Marilyn,

What would your feature list be on a small (linux driven) laptop 
in addition to mine?

- audiofeedback (hear what you type (per word basis))
- adapted lessons (multilanguage) for tipptrainer
http://freshmeat.net/projects/pingos_tipptrainer/ 
- may something thats enlarges the cursor area

and obviously:
- spelling checker (fix/highlight while typing)
- large font buttons

thanks,
Marten

Hi,

Last saturday I (on EuroBSDcon) was talking with

[Sugar-devel] mirror testing request

2009-09-21 Thread Marten Vijn

Sorry for cross posting...

Before announcing it,

There is an testing request from Adrian Chadd from CacheBoy.net
whois providing these mirror's.

This mirror system had global mirror's! 

So please test these link:

http://sugarlabs.cdn.cacheboy.net/


And give mee feedback to me:
- how it performs
- your location/continent.

The mirror is added to the monitoring (http+emaillist)

http://martenvijn.nl/sugar_mirror.html


Thanks,

*Actually I do knwo a lot about dyslexia, like that is really annoying
not being capable to write normal emails without make errors. 
No patches seem to be availible. 

Training young kids _in time_ prevents a lot frustration, dropouts from
school and waste of very creative talented kids.

[Sugar-devel] 2 idea's to train people dyslexia

2009-09-16 Thread Marten Vijn
Hi,

I am not a dyslexia expert, maybe a bit more that average.

idea 1
Today I read in a newspaper that it helps people
to let them hear what they (words not the characters).

People made commerial software for and improved really
the performance of kids. 

idea 2
typetrainers (learning to type with 10 fingers)
tend to teach character by character . 
Teaching by words would be way better since people 
use the word image (not the character by character scanning)

idea 3
I combination of 1 and 2 maybe creates new use cases
in developed countrys like mine. 


A remix of speak (like a always on button) would do a major job I think


2ct

On the XO, only ad-hoc en client mode are possible last time I tested
it. So no monitoring and ap modus.

hostap-modus needs to be supported by the firmware. 


open a shell, su - to root to play with iwconfig (man iwconfig) to learn
more.

Maybe it can work with an usb-wlan-dongle.

1. User:Marten refers to me
2. my public_key is in User:Marten
3. I am on Activity Team/Contacts (I was not sure to me add meself)
4. For the people that don't know me yet

Hi I am Marten, I live in Leiden, The Netherland. I have a girlfiend,
two kids (2,5 and 4,7 years). I was a physiotherapist and occupational
therapist before became a unix and net sysadmin. I run a XO-repaering
service and organize a camp. I may have noticed my English brake every
comple of lines. I have dyslexia, pls try to read want I mean. (In a way
you lucky my Dutch is worse.)  

pls read more http://martenvijn.nl

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activity_Team/TODO

>From here as a non-developer I seem to really get lost.
To not scare non-tech people I would:
- move Community Task more up
- create 5 simple tasks than can do done repetitive: 
 - download,burn,boot,give feedback
 - hardware reports
 - documentation for BIOS in cd-rom and usbdrive 
 - reviewing Activities 
 - writing instruction-sets/PR-materials ?
 - Roadmaps for LocalSugarLabs (creating UserBase)

Can I shuffle a bit on the TODO list to make more easy for new coming
people?

cheers,
Marten

oke, from a side of a none developer, I would be good, a list of tasks
to:
- to do meself
- point people to

For me is hard to so see what is needed and to move to the "right
direction". Knowing a bit from linux it is best to avoid dist-wars. 

I 'll check the wiki and look/create for a task list. IHMO tasks shoud
be:
- do-able (beginning / end / clear steps)
- supported by a person
- avoiding flames/wars whatever negative energie
- complexicity index.

Am I correct (by kind of consensus) that a tasklist would help?

If barking ever applies me to please let me know. My intention is to

[Sugar-devel] OLPC/Sugar on OpenCommunityCamp

2009-05-20 Thread Marten Vijn
Dear All,

Inspired by Lionel, I would like to make place for OLPC/Sugar on
OpenCommunityCamp.

The Camp will be from July 26th till 2nd August in the Netherlands (20
from Schiphol Airport AMS)

We can have 6 day's of work and fun together. 
 
Since I am in facilitating in core organization, responsible for the
evening program and other track and doing parts of the content
(*BSD/XO-repairing).

To have this working out I need the help of one or two people who can
take a lead in the program.

So get this working please let me know whether this is interesting. A no
fine too and save me time. Ofcourse I do prefer a yes of some people.

The current evening track has interesting talks already.

During tree day's there is also a Drupal training.

More info:
http://opencommunitycamp.org

evening track:
http://opencommunitycamp.org/2009/?q=node/15

Thanks,
Marten

[Sugar-devel] soas2

2009-04-07 Thread Marten Vijn

hi,

When i make drives with:

Soas2-200904031934.iso
Soas2-200903131725.iso


Under ubunutu with livecd-iso-to-disk.sh

I get grub loading and end in een grey screen. Here the boot halts.

Reproducable with:
- qemu
- alix1c board
- EEE 701

Fidling a bit show a grub display, with crambled characters and a
warning "password required".

This is probably the grub passwd.

Kind regards,
Martrn

[Sugar-devel] administrator / user questions

2009-03-11 Thread Marten Vijn
Hi,
 
May these question on the wrong list: but looking at
http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/ this could be the place.

(intro about me below)

My questions:
- could/will be there be a way to change the FLUKS password in the GUI?
- for mass deployments (or shop) setting a onetime FLUKS passwd would be
handy, espacially if such could be done from the script.
- should I post/discuss feature requests here or post them as bugs?



Background:

My name is Marten, I am a user of Sugar on a Stick and selling
sticks/cf-image for (non tech-)common people. Parts of my income
(time/money is spend on FLOSS project. My focus is on creating
infrastructure for kids on school based on FLOSS. My background is a
unix sysadmin, but I am not a developer in c++ or python. 

My current project goal is 30 kids on a mediawiki using soas in may-june
2009. 

read more on http://martenvijn.nl 

kind regards,

Marten
