  • To consider
    • Screen config
      • 2 panel layout uses a lot of screen estate
      • Should all status bars load by default ?
  • More optimised file system for Flash
    • JFS etc.
  • Mobile distro the same or different
    • If different ... to what degree
  • Software Availabiity
    • Will the image be available from ubuntu web site for download by existing owners of Classmate PC
    • If so, what is the process for them to move from their existing OS
      • Data preservation
    • What hardware checks need to be done
    • What level of support is implied if the download does not run
  • Support
    • Community support ?

Usage

  • Teacher Requests for a Central Management Tool
    • Lock all activity
    • Take over a session
    • Load a URL etc
    • Show a common image / presentation
  • Student Control Panel
    • Does some of this
    • Can it be extended ?
  • Accessability
    • Accessability for physically disadvantaged
    • When a device accelerates normal kids, then it disadvantages the others
      • Deaf kids, do not learn spoken langauge as easily, and then are slower in written exercises
      • Hence will be slower on this device, as well as IRC and IM, causing some exclusion
  • Suggestion: social financial responsibility
    • Invest a portion into disadvantaged kids
    • Intel themselves
    • Suggest to government / funders of school projects
  • Ensure that the install set does not remove or reduce the acessability features
  • Accessability feature demo
    • Voice books
    • Existing tools
    • Can Heno help to suggest a few slides to go into Willy's presentations
  • Suggested contept
    • Idea mooted of using this as a book / reader for visually impaired kids
    • Not seeing it as a computer, but as a cheaper reading assistance tool than specialist devices
