HW/Project Proposals -- please join us advocating for and/or reviewing shortcomings of these proposals: 1. OOo4Kids project (Open Office) - France <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=45944">http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=45944</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Education_Project/Effort/Various_adaptations_on_Sugar/Work_In_Progress">http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Education_Project/Effort/Various_adaptations_on_Sugar/Work_In_Progress</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.openoffice.org">http://www.openoffice.org</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.waadookodaading.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=49&Itemid=31"></a> Requests 2 XO's over 5 months Project Objectives: Our objectives are, in a first time make Ooo4Kids work well on the XO, then discover Sugar in order to sugarize Ooo4Kids. After this, we will work on some optimisations with some other goals: make two improvements of performances for Ooo4Kids on sugar and two new features on the user interface (one per student). 2. UCSB's Cross-cultural learning activities - California <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=45983">http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=45983</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.olpcsb.com">http://www.olpcsb.com</a> Requests 10 XO's over 24 months Project Objectives: 1. We aim to create XO-based activities to integrate into the California 3rd-grade curriculum (particularly, science, math and language arts). The goal is to make the XO a continuous learning resource for use throughout the mid-elementary school curriculum (as opposed to the use of computers in a specific, time-restricted, computer lab period). 2. We aim to use the XOs to establish and nurture an international peer-exchange program between a California elementary school and an African elementary school. The goal is to create awareness of the children’s commonalities and differences, for example, in family structure, school environment and curriculum, resources, recreational interests and future aspirations. 3. New repair center in Innsbruck - Austria <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=46165">http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=46165</a> Requests 10 XO's (broken OK) over 10 months Project Objectives: Repair XOs by the rules set up in <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/AlpXO">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/AlpXO</a> The user will communicate to my new Austrian phonenumber which will follow soon and to emailaddress: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:AlpXO@unterhauser.name">AlpXO@unterhauser.name</a> Turnaround expectations: I plan to be as fast as possible. The repairing part shouldn't be much of a problem because I am experienced with computers (SW and HW). As for the delivery I have no experience but hope to overcome that knowledge really soon. As a first step will start locally (eastern part of Austria) and if that works I will take care of the region in which the Munich and Bolzano libraries are situated. </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
