Episode 02 of this series documenting the One Laptop per Child project focuses on the activities built for the laptop. Activities, not applications, since the machine is designed for children and applications is a decidedly adult word.

How old were you when you first learned to read? I was about five and my first epic,
Make Way for Ducklings. Since then, I’ve mastered other classics, some even void of pictures. But that’s because my ability to read translates across all books written in English. I can apply my reading skills to any book I fancy. How old were you when you first experienced digital music? Not including that burned CD of Napster music your school-aged crush made for you. For most of us, our first experience with digital music was with Apple’s iTunes » Read more
Change. It’s part of life. The seasons, birds, bees… (where are you
going? no, please sit.) See, there comes a time when everything must
change. Even Red Hat Magazine. For the past two years we’ve released one
issue every month. No more. We’re changing.
The open source software model has done pretty well with “release early,
release often”–now we’re giving it a shot.
So if you check the magazine website only once a month, you’ll miss
something. Don’t do that. Red Hat Magazine will not be held responsible
for vital content you don’t see because you’re off watching
cat and monkey videos on YouTube.
The best way to stay current is to subscribe to our RSS feed. Many of you
are already reading the magazine this way (we’ve got stats!), but if
you’re not and want to be, we’ll show you how. It’s easy. In the time
it takes to memorize what “RSS” stands for, you can be getting the
latest updates as they’re released. Sweet.
We also know you still love your email. Except maybe for the X-rated
spam. We’ll still send you a monthly email digest. We’ll even highlight the articles you liked best. Of course we need to know your favorites–so don’t forget to rate the
articles. Look for the red “rate this article” image that appears on
every article page.
For the audio inclined, don’t forget you can also subscribe to magazine
podcasts. And remember, iTunes isn’t the only podcast game in town.
We’re just getting started.
Have comments for us? Article ideas? Send them our way.
Once again open source has been put to the test and this month we’ve got proof that it’s working well.
We held a summer camp for teens where both the students and teachers embraced open source and experimented with tools that because they’re free, extend learning beyond the classroom.
BarCamp held its charm and importance by giving us the best any conference has to offer–the conversations and collaboration that happen between the presentations. And it drew a crowd, because participants could set the agenda.
Remember back in the day, dreaming about paying your bills by running servers under your bed? Well, if that’s still a goal of yours, check out the article on setting up your own server…and if printing the log files is also a desire, we’ve got the skinny on printing with Fedora Core 6.
Issue 22 has other gems too, with updates on One Laptop per Child, a Fedora message from project leader Max Spevack, and the final segments on Dogtail and Red Hat Enterprise Linux development.
Thanks for reading, watching, and listening. We aspire to keep all your senses happy.
