The SugarCamp 2011 as if you were there
The SugarCamp 2011 was two days of conferences, exchanges, sharing, hacking and conviviality in the prestigious Digital Carrefour de la Cité des Sciences. Through videos, reports and photos below, relive this unforgettable event as if you were there.
Day 1: Conferences
The first day was reserved for a set of lectures.
After a brief introduction of Lionel, the first proposed a round table conference on the OLPC deployments led by Bastien.

Day 2: Barcamp
The second day was a day of hacking where the different participants working on different themes.
Daniel Drake, Raul Gutierrez and Simon Schampijer - Working hippocanvas
Daniel Drake, Raul Gutierrez and Simon Schampijer have refactored some code for Sugar no longer depend on a component named hippocanvas. It is a prerequisite for using the graphic library one day GTK3, which is essential for the future of Sugar. Much progress has been made in the weekend, and the code will soon be included in Sugar.

Christoph Derndorfer - gather content for Haiti
I spent the weekend working on content for the ongoing efforts in Haiti. Two tangible results: a page of information for parents and teachers and a small bundle. Xol with some photos of Paris under a free license on flickr [Note: Since then, Bastien noted the pictures of Haiti available on Wikimedia Commons] . Mitch (eKindling project in the Philippines) made me some feedback on the information page, which I then sent the team in Haiti. About the bundle. Xol, I really wanted to know how long it take to find appropriate pictures and packages in an environment that can be used offline.
Bastien Guerry - format the OLPC Deployment Guide 2011
The OLPC wiki provides access to a PDF version of the 2011 deployment guide . I took this guide, I converted the PDF to plain text, structured text files and the sections with org-mode and then stored these files in a git repository .
From this deposit, I cut the guide into small files (one for each section) and, hence, it is easy to export files or mediawiki. Odt and the first (mediawiki) will update the guide on the OLPC wiki (see this page ), the second (. odt) will distribute the translation work. Experience has shown that it is easier for our members to translate from. Odt only from a wiki.
As the git repository using org-mode, you can export to HTML, which is useful if you want to update and regularly publish the guide. The HTML version can also be accompanied by comments (using services like Disqus .)
I also showed how to export a PDF file. Org allows for the syntax of Python code - using Org, LaTeX and pygments (see for example this PDF .)
Florent Pigout - Help to start a new business
I wrote a simple tool that helps to start business projects. It is based on the `paster create` and generates the basic structure of a business model based on predefined (pygtk, pygame ...)
Here's how to install the tool "creativity":
~$ git clone git://git.sugarlabs.org/creactivity/creactivity.git
~$ cd creactivity
~$ python setup.py develop
In Pipy = pip install-U = creactivity should be enough.
Feel free to email me for more information and advice.
In the margins of SugarCamp, participants also saw a prototype of XO 1.75 with a touch screen.
