Information for Labdooers (Volunteers) Labdoo Guide to Rescue A Information for Labdooers (Volunteers) https://www.labdoo.org/de/book/export/html/35 Information for Labdooers (Volunteers) In this guide you will find useful information for Labdooers (Labdoo users/volunteers), including information about how to sanitize laptops, how to package them ready for traveling, or general tricks and tips among others. While this document attempts to be comprehensive, if you have any questions that do not get answered in this guide, please post them directly in any of the Labdoo Teams and one member of the Labdoo community will provide an answer.

Many of the people you know have unused laptops sitting idly and the objective is to give them an option to repurpose them and convert them into powerful educational devices. Here are some ideas to help you find and rescue idle laptops. 1. Think of 5 people who will most likely donate their used laptops. They can be your parents, your co-workers, your relatives, your class-mates or your friends. If you are a student or a teacher in a school, you can write a letter to the students parents asking for unused laptops. Many parents work for companies that have unused laptops. 2. Pitch potential donors with the 3 favorite things you like about Labdoo. When talking with potential laptop donors, tell them about the Labdoo story. Tell them for instance about the notions of using collaboration to spread education around the world and without incurring any economic or environmental cost. You can get some ideas from the Labdoo Value, Philosophy and Principles. 3. Be proactive! Contact the potential donors, in person or by e-mail. Describe the benefits that each player with the Labdoo platform receives. Here are some examples of benefits: A benefit to the donor: They are basically helping themselves clear out old things and making more space. A benefit to the community: The carbon footprint produced by a laptop is equivalent to 2 trees! (or 1500 liters of water, or 270 soda cans). Recycling laptops properly helps keep our environment green. A benefit to the children who receive the laptops: The repurposed laptops are powerful tools to help underprivileged children receive an education. Once the donated laptop arrives at its destination, the donor will be able to follow the link assigned to the laptop he/she donated and see pictures of those children using the laptops. Additional Tips. 1. Understand that what you are doing is creating a positive impact. A change in perspective can change your whole approach! 2. If you are too shy to ask face-to-face, hand written letters or emails are good alternatives. 3. Use your social networking skills and tools to bring awareness. Write a post on your favorite social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, etc.) letting people know about your laptop collecting activities. 4. Don’t let the idea of rejection stop you. It happens to everyone, and it’s part of the learning process. The cause you are promoting is your best ally. 5. Leave friendly reminders to the people who promised you a laptop. Many donors need frequent reminders that they should take proper action on their idle laptops when they still hold value. 6. You can be creative and come up with your own laptop collection strategy. Tagging a Laptop with a Labdoo ID Number Each dootronic contributed to the Labdoo platform needs to be tagged and labeled with its unique Labdoo Indentifier (ID) to ensure that donors can track their donation all the way to the final destination school and/or the recycling factory. The following steps describe the process of tagging a Labdoo laptop. 1. Login to Labdoo.org by clicking on the "My account" => "Log in" link located on the top right corner of www.labdoo.org. (If you don't have a Labdoo account yet, create one by going to "My account" => "Create a new account".) 2. On the top pull-down menu, select "Dootronics" -> "Tag it!" 3. Fill in the information about your dootronic (Make sure you fill all the fields marked with a "*") 4. If the donor desires so, it's very important to add the donor's email address to ensure that he/she can receive email updates about the status of the dootronic. Here's how: - Under Create Dootronic, select the second tab "Additional Information". - Scroll down to the field 'Additional notification emails'. - Fill in the donor's email address in this field. 5. Under "Additional notes", add the laptop condition. 6. Click "Save" once you are done. A unique Labdoo ID number will be assigned to the laptop. 7. On the new page after clicking 'save', click on "Print tags" to print the "Labdoo ID" labels. (Alternatively, you can manually write the Labdoo ID number on the preprint blank label sheets that you will find in this link.) 8. Tape the labels to (1) the laptop, (2) its power adapter, and all (3) the parts which come with the laptop. Ensure the taping is resistant so that the label does not get detached from the laptop. Below is an example of a laptop tagging page. Figure. Example of tagging procedure. 1 von 97 18.10.20, 09:31 Information for Labdooers (Volunteers) https://www.labdoo.org/de/book/export/html/35 Tags: tagging labdoo id How To Sanitize a Laptop The process of sanitizing a laptop involves three aspects: 1. Physically cleaning the laptop's appearance. 2. Deleting the laptop's previous information. 3. Installing the educational software (operating system and educational applications). Labdoo provides two laptop sanitation manuals: a Fast Restoration Method and a Step by Step Installation Method. The Fast Restoration Method is the fastest method to install the operating system and the educational content on a laptop. The Step by Step Installation Method is very useful if you are new to the project and want to see exactly what a Labdoo prepared laptop contains. This method guides you on how to: 1. Delete the previous content of the laptop. 2. Install the basic linux operating system. 3. Install the basic software (ofimatic applications, linux software). 4. Install additional educational content (RACHEL content, wikipedia for schools) 5. Install more additional educational content (XOWA offline Wikipedias) This process requires more time but is recommended if you want to learn and to see exactly what contents are installed, while the Fast Restoration Method performs all these steps automatically. If you are new to the Labdoo Project, you can follow the Step by Step Installation Method. If you have more experience with the process or need to deal with a large number of laptops, we recommend you to use the Fast Restoration Method. Alternatively if you don't have the time to sanitize your own computer, you can always bring it to your closest hub and have labdooers there sanitize it for you (click on the menu option ‘Hubs’ located at the top of the Labdoo website and then on ‘View’ to go to the list of Labdoo hubs). If you have problems or want assistance on how to perform the laptop preparation, ask for help on the Labdoo Global Support wall and somebody from the core team will be happy to assist you. 2 von 97 18.10.20, 09:31 Information for Labdooers (Volunteers) https://www.labdoo.org/de/book/export/html/35 The basic educational software package installed in every Labdoo laptop is called Edubuntu. Edubuntu is a free software platform that includes educational applications covering many areas of science, from pre-school level to high-school level and available in more than 130 languages. You can learn more about Edubuntu directly from https://www.edubuntu.org/. In addition to the Edubuntu platform, laptops can optionally be preloaded with additional educational content such as an offline version of Wikipedia and many other powerful Open Educational Resources (OER) such as Rachel, Xowa, UNESCO content, Khan Academy, etc. The simple sanitation guide helps you to install the basic Edubuntu platform (preloaded with all the Edubuntu education applications) and allows you to optionally install extra educational packages via some scripts. The advanced sanitation guide uses pre-configured images and it allows you to install all the packages (both the Edubuntu platform plus all the extra education packages) in one shot using the image. The next table summarizes all packages installed by each method: Step-by- Step-by- Fast Restore Content Step Step Method Method Method Plus Scripts Lubuntu LTS (Operating System) Yes Yes Yes Edubuntu Educational Software (base education packages) Yes Yes Yes Office Suite (Libreoffice) Yes Yes Yes Wikipedia for schools "wikidoo" (English offline lexicon suitable for children) No Yes Yes License-free manuals for Ubuntu, Libreoffice, etc. No Yes Yes License-free e-Books No Yes Yes XOWA, access to 800+ Offline Wikis in regional languages No Yes Yes RACHEL, access to Khan Academy, Edison for Robotics, CK-12 Textbooks, UNESCO's IICBA Electronic Library, Great Books of the World, OLPC Educational Packages, or No Yes Yes MIT Scratch, among many others Barrier-free access for blind or hearing impaired user No Yes Yes Browser-based English course, Multimedia based following UK Curriculum No Yes Yes Offline video tutorials for user No Yes Yes Optimized user flow to avoid accidental system changes No Yes Yes Preparation for virtual machines (VM VirtualBox) No Yes Yes Virus scanner and tool ClamAV No Yes Yes 40GB min (more Size Suggested minimum size of disk drive 20 GB 40GB min allows you to load more content) Please continue reading this guide to learn the step by step process of sanitizing a laptop by choosing one of the available methods.

  • Easy Slackware
    1 Создание легкой системы на базе Slackware I - Введение Slackware пользуется заслуженной популярностью как классический linux дистрибутив, и поговорка "кто знает Red Hat тот знает только Red Hat, кто знает Slackware тот знает linux" несмотря на явный снобизм поклонников "бога Патре­ га" все же имеет под собой основания. Одним из преимуществ Slackware является возможность простого создания на ее основе практически любой системы, в том числе быстрой и легкой десктопной, о чем далее и пойдет речь. Есть дис­ трибутивы, клоны Slackware, созданные именно с этой целью, типа Аbsolute, но все же лучше создавать систему под себя, с максимальным учетом именно своих потребностей, и Slackware пожалуй как никакой другой дистрибутив подходит именно для этой цели. Легкость и быстрота системы определяется выбором WM (DM) , набором программ и оптимизацией программ и системы в целом. Первое исключает KDE, Gnome, даже новые версии XFCЕ, остается разве что LXDE, но набор программ в нем совершенно не устраивает. Оптимизация наиболее часто используемых про­ грамм и нескольких базовых системных пакетов осуществляется их сборкой из сорцов компилятором, оптимизированным именно под Ваш комп, причем каж­ дая программа конфигурируется исходя из Ваших потребностей к ее возможно­ стям. Оптимизация системы в целом осуществляется ее настройкой согласно спе­ цифическим требованиям к десктопу. Такой подход был выбран по банальной причине, возиться с gentoo нет ни­ какого желания, комп все таки создан для того чтобы им пользоваться, а не для компиляции программ, в тоже время у каждого есть минимальный набор из не­ большого количества наиболее часто используемых программ, на которые стоит потратить некоторое, не такое уж большое, время, чтобы довести их до ума. Кро­ ме того, такой подход позволяет иметь самые свежие версии наиболее часто ис­ пользуемых программ.

  • Installing Airtime and Icecast Server on Ubuntu Server
    Installing Airtime and Icecast server on Ubuntu Server Base system Install 32-bit Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS (“Lucid”). Latest version is 10.04.3 Just do a minimum installation. You may want to add the openssh package for remote access, but other than that don't install any package sets during server installation. Update the system after installation, and install any editors or utilities you like to have available. Network setup Skip this section if using DHCP. Edit /etc/network/interfaces to provide static IP settings. For example: # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static ← change from iface eth0 inet dhcp address 10.224.1.208 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 10.224.1.1 Then restart the interface (or reboot): ifdown eth0 ifup eth0 Install Icecast Icecast is available in the Ubuntu repositories, so installation is just: apt-get install icecast2 When you install Airtime, the Icecast configuration files will be replaced, so you can skip the following unless you want to use Icecast without Airtime. Check the Icecast configuration file /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml and note or change the default passwords. To have the icecast server start at system boot, edit /etc/default/icecast2 and set ENABLE=true. Install Airtime Airtime is a Debian package and relies on the gdebi installer program, which is not part of the default Ubuntu server installation. So install this first: apt-get install gdebi Then download the Airtime installer package: wget http://apt.sourcefabric.org/mics/airtime-easy-setup.deb Use gdebi to install the installer package (which adds some repositories and helper scripts to your system) gdebi airtime-easy-setup.deb Now update the package list and install airtime: apt-get update apt-get install airtime Source clients Ices The ices2 client that handles ogg-vorbis streaming is in the Ubuntu repository.

  • The Spacefm File Manager for Linux
    Review: The SpaceFM File Manager For Linux Let’s try something new! Let’s take a look at a different file manager for a change. Specifically, let’s look at SpaceFM, a multi-panel file manager for Linux. It’s worth looking at and has a ton of useful features. I figured that it’d be fun to sometimes review stuff and added the category when I was building the site. I haven’t used it until now, mostly because I had more pressing things to write. Alas, I’ve committed to write articles every other day for a year (or as close to it as I can get), so I might as well try out this review thing. On with the article! Wikipedia has an article about file managers, because of course they do. Simply put, it’s an application that lets you more easily manage files and directories. It’s usually a graphical application these days, but that wasn’t always true. If you’re coming from a Windows background, the Windows Explorer application was a file manager. File managers often add other features, as does SpaceFM. Not only does it have multi-panels, it also has tabs, and more! So, let’s see how this ‘review’ thing is actually going to work. It’ll probably be a little rough, as this is the first one I’ve written for the site. Getting SpaceFM: SpaceFM is actually the default file manager in a few (seven, it seems) distros. It’s also almost certainly possible to find SpaceFM in your default repositories.

  • Těžba Grafových Dat Z Wikipedie
    Západočeská univerzita v Plzni Fakulta aplikovaných věd Katedra informatiky a výpočetní techniky Bakalářská práce Těžba grafových dat z Wikipedie Plzeň 2016 Martin Mach PROHLÁŠENÍ Prohlašuji, že jsem bakalářskou práci vypracoval samostatně a výhradně s použitím citovaných pramenů. V Plzni dne 4. května 2016.................................. Martin Mach ABSTRAKT Cílem této práce je vytvořit nástroj umožňující zpracování historických událostí z Wikipe- die do podoby grafu. Vzhledem k povaze zdroje dat a požadavku na interakci s uživatelem byl za platformu zvolen webový prohlížeč Google Chrome a jeho systém rozšíření. Vytvo- řený nástroj umožňuje výběr preferovaných článků, na základě nichž jsou nabízeny další články dle odhadu jejich relevance. Obsah článků je zpracováván a jsou z něj získávány informace specifické pro typ dané historické události. Mezi jednotlivými články jehledán vzájemný vztah, který potom, spolu s typem tohoto vztahu, tvoří hrany získaného grafu. Vytvořené řešení poskytuje uživateli možnost zpracovat historické události do formy re- šerše reprezentované grafem. Množství získávaných informací a jejich vzájemnou spojitost je možné ovlivnit pomocí systému modulů. Výsledek je poté možno zobrazit na časové ose, případně je možné upravit výstup aplikace tak, aby mohl být zobrazen nástrojem dle volby uživatele. KLÍČOVÁ SLOVA Wikipedie, těžba dat, graf, historická událost, časová osa, Google Chrome, rozšíření ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to create a tool which would allow to process historical events from Wikipedia into the form of a graph. Due to the nature of the data source and the requi- rement for user interaction it was decided to choose Google Chrome and its extensions as a platfrom. The tool allows user to choose articles of his choice, based on which it will find and recommend other articles according to their estimated relevance.
