[squeakland] free booth at SCaLE 8X - who can attend February 19-21, Los Angeles?
by Rita Freudenberg 09 Jan '10

Hi all, there is an offer for a free booth at the Southern California Linux Expo http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale8x/ OLPC/SugarLabs will have one booth, and they got an offer for a free booth right beside that. Now they are looking for someone to populate the second booth. I asked, and it would be ok for Squeakland to use it. So is there anyone who would like to go? There is a special education track on friday! Greetings, Rita Rita Freudenberg rita(a)isg.cs.uni-magdeburg.de

Bert, Your answer worked! Thanks! We used your answer to start this page: http://docs.google.com/View?id=dg7q79cx_677gq6gq5hh It is part of a Bilingual Study Guide we started a few weeks ago. We have used your answer as a first example to encourage others to ask questions. We hope children will learn asking questions is a fantastic tool to acquire specific knowledge you need now to complete a task your are working on. We hope my learning from someone like you, a generation younger than me, will remind many parents and grandparents to take advantage of what we can learn from our children and grandchildren. We hope to tell adults there is no shame in not knowing everything. The shame is recognizing there is something you want to know and you don´t know and doing nothing to acquire that knowledge. The fact you are so far away from us, maybe some 20 hours if I had plenty of time and money to visit you personally, hopefully will tell children and teachers we can get help today from a tremendous network of people around the world. Yes, first ask local friends, relatives and teachers but, that´s not the limit. With the little computers connected to internet, the whole world is the limit! Thanks again!

Hi, Carlos and the etoys team. Some times ago I made this project. It seems empty but if you see the sound category there is a new tile playsoundUntilDone which dont play another sound until the first one is finished. In fact this project contains a changeset,(a modification of Etoys) If this new tile is juged usefiull by the etoys tile, it could be part of a next update. You can play with it then reload etoys to revert with standard etoys. This more an example of adding new tiles fo advanced programmers or for testinng and updating etoys by the team. If you save a project without the change but using the new tile, you have to load this project before your project. Regards Ps The strange name of the project is due to the way the xo attachs a file. -----Original Message----- From: "Carlos Rabassa" [carnen(a)mac.com] Date: 01/05/2010 05:43 PM To: "Karl Ramberg" <karlramberg(a)gmail.com> CC: squeakland(a)squeakland.org Subject: Re: [squeakland] Request for Help - Question 20100501 Karl, Thank you very much for your prompt answer. I'm afraid however it is too much for my level of knowledge. If I understand you correctly, you are saying what I want to do cannot be done by a regular user. Somehow someone has to modify the Etoys code and you feel I can do it??

Hello Carlos, I attached a project with an idea that does part of what you want. You can stop a message before it finishes but it always starts at the beginning again. It is a trick, not a nice solution, but it might be a work around for the short term. Regards, Kathleen

2010 squeakland schedule
by Timothy Falconer 04 Jan '10

04 Jan '10

Hi everyone, Happy New Decade! My Squeakland schedule will be rather specific for a while, given that I need to make more room in my week for billable work. (Viewpoints funding has ended.) I'm blocking out Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays between 1pm ET and 4pm ET (18:00 GMT to 21:00pm GMT), for nine hours a week. All of my Squeakland work needs to be done during these hours until we get some funds in to cover more of my time. Let's keep the software team meeting at 3pm (20:00 GMT) on Mondays. I'd like to move the business meeting to another day so we don't have too much talk all at once. Let's start with Wednesday at 3pm ET (20:00 GMT). This also frees up my time before the software meet to actually prepare for it :) As for the education team meeting, I'll be able to attend when it falls within my "office hours", but otherwise not. I will continue with my two units as I am able. Also, I'm actively calling science centers and children's museums for partnering opportunities, so courseware will undoubtedly come from this. My family is relocating to Cambridge, Massachusetts for four months in a few weeks, which should be interesting for Squeakland, given all things Sugar, OLPC, and MIT, etc. Anyway, thanks everyone for your continuing efforts. Let's make 2010 a great year for Etoys!

A blog post: http://cyberquestnetwork.com/the-best-linux-games-for-kids/ "For the younger children, six years old and up, there are four packages designed to teach programming: EToys from the One Laptop Per Child project, Scratch from MIT, Little Wizard and XLogo. Moving on to games, one of the best collections of games for younger children, two years old and up, is GCompris. There is also the Sugar desktop from the One Laptop Per Child project."
