[math4] RIT Honors Seminar 20 March 2009 Session notes

[Frederick Grose]

Professors Stephen Jacobs and Eric Grace held the 2nd of 10 weekly
sessions for the
RIT Honors Seminar, Developing for the OLPC XO,
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/RIT_honors_seminar,_developing_for_the_OLPC_XO.

The 19 students present received, and checked out the XO laptop and
got a bit more oriented
to the seminar plans.  Weeks 1 - 5 will focus on research and
brainstorming on the project domain.
Weeks 6 - 10 will consist of prototype building and breaking.

Slightly edited session notes from the irc.freenode.net #fedora-olpc
channel are at,

(They are a bit sparse, due to the content and my inexperience.)

With only 3 weeks left for the research and preliminary brainstorming
design phase of the seminar,
we hope that the those interested will latch onto student posts and
ideas as they appear online.
Students also are expected to find online collaborators.

Please make an effort to join irc.freenode.net #fedora-olpc next at
10:00 - 11:50 EDT (14:00 - 15:50 UTC)
 on Friday 27 March 2009.  (I'll post a Google Calendar invitation to
the group, for those that keep electronic
calendars.)  The seminar will reserve some time for individual and
collective irc communications.

The professors may post a more detailed agenda in the coming week to
help narrow the time for you tune in.

Thanks for volunteering!
