I wanted to share that we have faced the same criticisms in our school regarding the XOs. For the last four years, the teachers and students have complained that the devices do not connect well or reliably to our wireless network. Obviously, in our case, we have a wireless network and essentially

[Sugar-devel] Google code in

In spite of failures to win status with GSOC, I thought Sugar Labs might be interested in Google Code In. (GCI) It is possible that prior GSOC success is a criterion for entry. After all working with kids is supposed to be what we are all about. http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2012/09/goo

I was talking with Ignacio, a kid from Uruguay that hangs on #sugar and told him to sign in Code-In. He is excited, but I still wonder if OLPC/SugarLabs would be joining this effort. Right how he is working with Flavio D. on doing some ports to GTK3. On 10/14/12, Chris Leonard wrote: > In spite

[Sugar-devel] [PATCH] Request AP properties with dbus ByteArrays (#4031)

As we deal with the ssid property as a string, we need to explicitly request byte array data as a ByteArray as is done in other places. This wasn't a problem before the upgrade to dbus-1.6.8; its likely that the byte_arrays setting was questionably inherited from other places where we subscribe to

Kevin, I also grew up in that world. I fondly remember my first computer class in high school (1978), learning FORTRAN on the big teletype machine. When those remarkable moments of learning on the XOs are happening, I know we are doing the right thing. And I point them out to the students and the

Re: [Sugar-devel] NPR story on OLPC in Peru

Has much effort been taken towards "Sneaknet" solutions to these problems? Obviously not a complete replacement, but it might help relieve some of the problems. I came across a sugar wiki pagetalking about a proposal for one, did anything ever come out of it?
