Unfortunately Markus I don't think the Firefox plugin is supported in Etoys To Go, and the documentation discourages the plugin. However please post if you do figure out what is wrong. * <FORKING THE CONVERSATION> Meanwhile, the Firefox browser plugin in the official Maverick Meerkat (Ubuntu 10.10) package did not seem to automatically install for me (on 32 bit x86), though it is only Etoys 4.0. Unfortunately, I don't see any updates in the pipeline for the April Ubuntu release (11.04 Natty Narwhal) but perhaps I looked in the wrong places: http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/etoys http://packages.debian.org/sid/etoys http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/sugar-etoys-activity If anyone has suggestions, please post. If it is only me that experienced the plugin failure on the official package, then I won't file a bug report with Ubuntu.

Fwd: Successful Testing Arduino for Etoys, Next OpenSound Control :-)

Hi, It seems that the first time I didn't send it properly to etoys-dev list. Here comes again. :) Cheers, Offray -------- Mensaje original -------- Asunto: Successful Testing Arduino for Etoys, Next OpenSound Control :-) Fecha: Tue, 15 Mar 2011 22:41:44 -0500 De: Offray Vladimir Luna Cárdenas <offray.luna(a)javeriana.edu.co> Para: etoys <etoys(a)laptop.org> Hi all, I'm in a seminar here in Colombia and we're exploring interactive art. vvvv, the software proposed by the teacher, was not multiplatform so I started to look at visual programming environments that were multiplatform and, at the beginning I found S4A (Scrath for Arduino) and then, after the teacher's asking of using OpenSound Control I found that it was supported by Squeak, so I ended using the 0.7 version of Arduino in Squeak (a predecessor of Physical Etoys, which is multiplatform also --Physical Etoys still is not). I just want to report success in this 0.7 version, say thanks for bringing Squeak to this land of physical open hardware and I will be reporting any advice on OSC and Squeak... well I don't know where to start yet, but this Squeak + Arduino to get me back on Squeak community is a nice way to remove the dust :-) Thanks, Offray Ps: would be nice to have Physical Etoys in Linux also and Squeak/Pharo could be a nice base to create something like vvvv (www.vvvv.org)

Has anyone approached Salman Khan on behalf of the educational squeak community?
by Lawson English 11 Mar '11

Khan Academy is getting all sorts of well-deserved attention. If we could somehow get him to produce or at least sponsor some videos on programming and/or using squeak & co., that would give it a huge boost in exposure: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=210054609008587 Lawson

There is currently no simple way to export the sounds. Not even to files, let alone to the Journal.

Currently, the Record activity only produces Ogg Vorbis on Sugar 0.84, and the two other (orphaned?) activities that generate audio, TimeLapse and ShowNTell, are limited to 0.82 (and Ogg Speex). > > Art Hunkins Indeed that would be nice. I'm cc'ing the etoys developers list, maybe this catches someone's eye ;) - Bert -
