Call for Papers - C5-09 Kyoto Japan January 19-22, 2009

Kim Rose — 2008-07-26T02:13:26

Call for Papers - C5-09 The Seventh International Conference on Creating, Connecting and Collaborating through Computing (C5 2009) January 19-22, 2009 Kyoto, Japan http://www.cm.is.ritsumei.ac.jp/c5-09/ Computers, networks, and other forms of technology are now pervasive in our information-based society. However, most users still function as passive consumers of technology. To evolve into a true knowledge society, it is critical that we transform computer-based human activities to engage users in the active process of creating, connecting, and collaborating together. The C5 conference is for researchers, technology developers, educators, and technology users who are concerned about developing and enabling human-oriented creation, connection, and collaboration processes. C5 is an international forum for presenting ongoing work as well as new work currently under development and for discussing future needs and directions in creative computing and multimedia authoring environments.

Tip: expunging projects

K. K. Subramaniam — 2008-07-17T13:55:06

Hi, I found something new today. If I hold the left mouse button down on a Project thumbnail, I get a menu that can be used to expunge a project, without having to enter that project. Simple and quick compared to using the x halo button. Very handy for small schools where many children share a single computer. Subbu

Improving squeakland.org

Kim Rose — 2008-07-02T01:34:13

Greetings, Squeaklanders - As you know we've been working on improving the Squeakland website, adding new content, and preparing an "olpc-compatible" version/ download for those of you on platforms other than the "XO" as well as the "XO". On the new site we want to showcase YOU -- the Etoy community -- and provide pointers and links to as many external websites featuring Squeak ETOYS from as many parts of the world as possible. Many of your sites are already featured on our current site, but some may be outdated and we know there are more that we are unaware of that contain valuable content for newcomers to Etoys, etc. If you are involved in an Etoys community that has a website, please send us the url and one or two sentences we can use to describe your community (i.e., "we are part of a University in XXcountry investigating how Etoys might be used in teaching colleges for math/ science education" or "We are a community of users in Korea who....." (you get the idea.) We reall

update server for Squeakland-OLPC

K. K. Subramaniam — 2008-06-09T07:24:29

Hi, I don't have an XO but use the Squeakland-OLPC etoys image on a Linux box. The update URL in this etoys image points to tinlizzie.org/updates/squeakland. Etoys bug fixes are going into tinlizzie.org/updates/etoys but not into updates/squeakland. Will the Etoys image for XO and non-XO hardware start diverging? Or is the plan to keep them the same?

Please help us for translation (An experimentalversion of OLPC image for non-XO environments)

Yoshiki Ohshima — 2008-06-02T21:15:51

Hello, We are still trying to package the Etoys for non-XO environments, along with, of course, for XO. Currently, end of June is the *real* target of release day of non-XO packages. The idea is to put relatively small set of languages in it, and it looks like English, German and French are most complete ones. (Thank you!) But, for the US audience, (new world's) Spanish is also important. And Portugese (br and pt) seems to be fairly good to me, but of course I can't tell the quality right away. Can you help us giving the information of the translation quality and completeness for these languages? For the non-XO environment, we will not have good font rendering mechanism other than what we have now, so still the main target is the Latin languages. The completeness doesn't have to be so close to 100%, as now many of the phrases are not for Etoys (rather for the Smalltalk development). But we would like to hear the opinions of the native speakers. Please visit https://dev.laptop.org/tran
