The One Laptop Per Child project is now including a digital camera in the design of their "$100" laptop computer. According to their latest news, this device will record video at 30 fps and at VGA resolution. Also, the OLPC project is considering using content from WikiMedia, and video files at WikiMedia are stored in ogg theora format. Have folks involved in the OLPC project communicated with people at Xiph about supporting development of theora? It looks like OLPC is well funded, and would be in a position to do t...

Hi, I heard that Theora will be used on OLPC. Is anyone working on optimization for OLPC? Regards, Chih-Chung Chang

There was recently a question on the R-help list about the eee pc. I had a related question about the XO laptop from OLPC (laptop.org). Has anyone looked at the development environment sufficiently to determine if it would be possible to create an executable image for R? The laptop itself only supports Python, Javascript, etc. but it is running a real Linux operating system.

Hi guys, My name is Adir. I'm a Google Summer of Code student, and in addition to that I will be working both with Xiph.org and with OLPC on optimizing Theora's performance. I'm in the list to get a shiny B4, but at the moment I can't do anything since sending the laptop to my place involves some difficulties. Until I get the laptop, I would like to hear from any of you, XO users and testers, to let me know about your ex...

...bling mmx has a big performance hit as expected. - Do we have specific encoding timing restraints for videoconferencing applications? - Can anyone suggest suitable inputs that combine both video and audio? I have not used the gnashdev gcc4.3 build (http://wiki.gnashdev.org/wiki/index.php/Building_OLPC_Tools), but my own build. Let me know if something seems to be missing from the configuration configured with: /home/vliaskov/compilers/gcc-geode/gcc/configure --prefix=/opt/gcc4-3-gode --enable-shared --enable-threads-posix --with-systen-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-libunwind-exceptions -...

Hi, OLPC's Openfirmware (OFW) implementation chokes when attempting to boot an iso created by isohybrid. The problem is that OFW's ISO-9660 support expects a partition type of 0x96 (CHRP ISO-9660, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_type). I see from http://git.kernel.org/cgit/boot...

Thanks, Karl! I've checked the log files during a move command but I couldn't find anything that looked related to the problems. I've thought of upgrading to 2.3.2 but thought I should ask first if it was something common - saw that someone mailed about the same problems a couple of months ago, if I understood it correctly. /Mathias 2009/11/18 Karl Heyes <karl at xiph.org>:

Hi, people! Because XO-1 has a little "disk" space, it will be nice if the location of drive_c can be moved to a SD card. Here in Uruguay, we do not have root permissions in our XO-1. We log in as user olpc an can change permissions only in some directories. And can create links to files but not hard links to directories. The SD card is mounted in /media/label_of_sd_card. I appreciate any help.

Hi, For the OLPC school server ("XS") we are planning to move from our dated F9 setup to CentOS 6.2. Thanks for all the effort involved in producing this distro. One important part of this project is a 'respin' of the install media - we need to add a handful of packages from external repositories...

...project listing looks very well done. On your ideas page, you haven't done a lot to sell/market each idea. Why is development of this specific project going to improve Xapian overall? How will that improvement empower/improve some of the downstream projects you mention use Xapian (e.g. Debian, OLPC). I think you'll see more interest from students if you jazz up the listings a bit. I think for professors it's probably fine as is, though some verbiage about why having a good fundamental understanding of search is a good thing for students would be useful to both parties. I'd like...
