from

SituationalAssessmentTemplate2017

 


 

Introduction/Definition/etc

 

Trying hidden page security until done,

or close to it,

or night fall...

 

So SugarLabs Live

aka Sugar on a Stick

Fedora spin,

burning some DVDs of the software,

if the parents and kids have an extra USB stick,

they can learn to install it on that,

to run faster,

reuse as much as they like,

and maybe eventually learn to install

on the hard drive of the

HPProBook645In2018

and other similar legacy hardware,

PC class machines pre

NetBook, which OLPC XO-1 defined,

now about 10 years ago...

(see historical photo(s) and link)

and Raspberry Pi 3B+ does some of

now, in a more open way, but still

BroadCom ARM and SOC lockin...

 

Body

 

Original Text

 

So maybe the trick is learning,

a challenge to get the treats of trying

new software, games, etc in a learning

environment developed, back in the day,

for educational use with children

in least developed countries (read poor)

where the cost of a laptop was prohibitive,

so the $100 laptop would help with that....

Some criticism was that they needed food,

infrastructure like sanitation, etc instead

of technology, but MIT and others,

being what they are (read geeks),

worked on developing the new

NetBook class hardware, a light

(though physically kind of heavy)

cheap portable, kid friendly hardware,

eInk display that works in sunlight,

in black and white mode,

and software (turned into SugarLabs

and runs on non OLPC hardware...,

forking when M$ entered the picture,

iirc)

 

Modified Text

 

What's Missing?

 

What Can Be Found?

 

What Can Not Be Found?

 

How To Analyze?

 

Lenses

 

Kids

 

ages:

youngest,

first computer

using it

 

mid range kids,

some mastery,

if bother to learn it,

first world:

historical and tech loving

kids

others:

the challenges of competing

demands

technology, both good and bad,

and some skills in this may help,

Constructionist theory,

activity aka doing is good,

commonly marketed like Making

and DIY, arts and crafts like building

mostly electronics, and modifying,

learning how things work,

hacking, but not cracking (security exploits,

and black hat/ white hat stuff)

 

 

Assumptions

 

Kids get something

 

Maybe not what they wanted/

traditionally get/ expect

(candy), but technically named Sugar

append Labs and learning and stuff...

 

Connectivity might not be necessary,

still some things to learn about direct wired

on the wifi system...

 

Build your own:

Instructions here for those that have other

things to do, and want to follow along at home,

less interactions, door knocking , intrusions,

etc for me, an old guy who will probably be

asleep by then anyways...

Missing the cute qualifying costumes,

but wearing stuff myself, day to day,

fashion nightmare that several people

start saying you look like (trails off

as they realize what they are saying

is not nice, and they catch themselves,

or parents/caregivers do for them...

 

Time Limits

 

Today is Halloween October 31st, 2018

and approaching evening time

though preparation may take all day to make

this clear enough to understand why

someone getting a DVD of the software,

handed to them, what do I do with this,

and maybe a link to this page,

would figure it out, eventually?

Will See...

 

Candy turn in noticed, by rsvp

at MosaicFarmersMarket2018

from Central's website...

 

Rationing out sweets, a long learning

curve, to get to see it work, and sugar

highs, crashes, etc, along the critical

path/ timeline, as they say, soon,

but while doing all that, and end of month,

start of new month, but before elections

break, etc...

 

Other goodies, likely needed, the USB stick,

and RPi3B+ hardware, accessories, etc

for continuing along the path to digital

FreeDom...

 

 

Conclusion

 

Summary of experience or similar

 

Yet, to see any response,

how to hand them out, walk around then disappear,

leave on door(s), of known kids nearby,

and other ways of doing that while retaining

privacy, and non swarmed by kids and

only burn a few DVDs...

Knowing a few got HPProBook645In2018

so some directions here may apply rather

directly, others may need to modify

and learn more...

 

Discussion

 

A place for feedback on the page presented

 

Is it a prank to use trojan mouse type

stuff on kids?

 

Does reversing  the roles of trick or treating

make sense?

To whom?

Geeks only?

Everyone?

 

Why didn't you just give them sugar?

Regular candy?

 

Where are my scary DIY sounds?

Isn't that place just a big haunted house anyway?

 

We want to trick you anyways,

old white guy, we hate those people,

well, hate is bad, Santa and others

are listening and making lists of naughty

and nice, so payback, or the lack there of,

happens over the next couple months,

so you better watch out, you better not shout,

and other jingle/jungle type sounds,

creepy and crawly and other issues

abound anyways...
