    Hi all,
 +
    The question about how to get videos from Khan Academy in any language was asked several times on this list.
 +
    We planned this year to deploy offline Khan Academy videos in French to our Nosy Komba deployment. So I've worked with Bibliotheque Sans Frontiere to get French videos.
 +
    They suggested me to use KA Lite [1], a software dedicated to install a offline Khan Academy server.
 +
    BTW it's slightly intrusive and need some installation. So I've write a script to explore and extract only videos URL. You could find it here [2].
 +
    The result of the script could be seen here [3] as a tree or here [4] as a single list.
 +
    Hope it could help.
 +
    Best regards from France. Lionel.

If you are using Flash you need to also install nspluginwrapper, and use it to "wrap" the plugin so WebKit can see it.
 +
Use "yum -y install nspluginwrapper" to install the package.
 +
The OLPC OS build scripts for custom builds use the following command (run as root or via sudo) to finish the wrapping process.  I have not verified it yet on a XO-1.5:

: See this page section for potential uses.
−
:'''Curriculum packaging'''
 
−
  1. A teacher wants to prepare a SoaS image with a custom set of installed Activity bundles or a Journal of Activity instances for an upcoming class term.
 
−
  2. The teacher modifies their current working image by adding or deleting Activity bundles from their Home view and adding or removing Journal entries with specific content
 
−
    (such as a Physics model template or Etoys project), even saving distributable ebooks, or bookmarks in Browse Activity instances that are named for specific sets of local web destinations
 
−
    (a class portal perhaps for deployments lacking Internet connectivity).
 
−
  3. The teacher scrubs out any personal passwords or other history that should not be shared in the new copies.
 
−
  4. A fresh or recycled USB stick is inserted into the computer running the customized SoaS image and the SugarClone script is executed.  
 
  
−
:'''Full image backup or sharing'''

  2. Their modifications include changes to their operating system installed through yum or RPM to obtain some new core functionality.

−
  3. The Learner wants to archive or share this image with friends or for a backup.
+
:These appliances are OS Agnostic:
−
  4. Personal or private information is scrubbed from the Journal or Browse history and other potential stores.
+
:They work in Windows/Linux/Mac Operating Systems.
−
  5. The User creates one or more Sugar Clones.  
 
  
−
This method of backup has the advantage that it copies Learner changes to the core operating system as well as the Journal. A LiveOS image using a separate persistent home folder could be partially cloned with either the operating system overlay or home folder without the other should that be desired.

To View tests and compatibility of some of the included Activities (works off-line) on the included Activity_Matrix web page;
Open the Activity_Matrix.html file in the Activity_List Folder on the DVD with Firefox, or in Sugar Browse 129 or Surf 115.
Or.
Copy contents of DVD to a USB-stick and open the USB-stick Activity_Matrix.html file in Sugar Browse 129 or Surf 115. - (Browse 130 does not open it in f17)
Hint: Use search window (_______) on the top bar of USB-stick display that appears when you click on the USB-stick icon in the left bottom corner of the sugar screen.
look for Activity_Matrix.html use open with on the drop down box that appears when you hover over the Activity_Matrix.html file.
  • Suggestion: copy only the activity.xo files that you want to use from the DVD to a (fat 16/32) USB-stick; Insert it and use it to drag-drop install a custom suite of activities to Sugar.
Activities.xo files can be installed by drag-dropping them into the Sugar Journal from a mounted DVD or a USB to which they have been copied.

HTML5 activities

NEW 04/30/2013
Because HTML5 activities generate lot of threads I must confess that I’m lost :-(
And if I’m lost, I think that it worse for students interested by this subject for the GSoC :-)
So I’ve tried to sum up everything I know about this subject on a dedicated page of the Wiki: :http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/HTML5_activities
Do not hesitate to Complete/update if I missed something, Move it if I’ve put it in a wrong place.
Best regards from France. Lionel.

   Hi all,
   The question about how to get videos from Khan Academy in any language was asked several times on this list.
   We planned this year to deploy offline Khan Academy videos in French to our Nosy Komba deployment. So I've worked with Bibliotheque Sans Frontiere to get French videos.
   They suggested me to use KA Lite [1], a software dedicated to install a offline Khan Academy server.
   BTW it's slightly intrusive and need some installation. So I've write a script to explore and extract only videos URL. You could find it here [2].
   The result of the script could be seen here [3] as a tree or here [4] as a single list.
   Hope it could help.

Screencasting

Details of screencasting in fedora

Gnome3 has already a screen recording functionality

Note: in Gnome3 you may need to do: 

yum install recordmydesktop

As it may not be included in live Desktop to reduce it's size to 1 GB

F21 (rawhide) Desktop has been replaced with F21 (rawhide) Workstation-live
Note updated - 05/20/2014
Pressing Alt+Ctrl+Shift+R recording will start.
There should be a red icon on the right-bottom corner of your screen.
Pressing it again will stop the recording. The video is saved on your Videos directory on webm format.
Tested in f18;f19;f20;f21(rawhide) Gnome (3.8.0);f20 Gnome (3.10.2);f21(rawhide)3.11.90

09/21/2013 flash on a XO
If you are using Flash you need to also install nspluginwrapper, and use it to "wrap" the plugin so WebKit can see it.
Use "yum -y install nspluginwrapper" to install the package.
The OLPC OS build scripts for custom builds use the following command (run as root or via sudo) to finish the wrapping process.  I have not verified it yet on a XO-1.5:
/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/npconfig -n -p nswrapper_32_32 -d /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins-wrapped -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

Fedora is the primary distribution for Sugar and Sugar on a Stick

Sugar is supported by several GNU/Linux distributions. Sugar Labs does not support any specific distribution, but does focus development on Fedora and Debian, which helps SoaS and Ubuntu.

                       (WARNING: destructive)

Installing and using liveusb-creator in sugar

An easy method for Fedora and Windows, however this method does not generate a separate home.img filesystem to conserve the exhaustible OS overlay (see LiveOS image), nor does it copy the livecd-iso-to-disk installation script to the new device to permit generation of a new Live USB device from the first.
Note if graphical liveusb-creator program will not make a bootable USB stick from an .iso file:
(This can happen if the stick is formatted to fat16 on another PC with a different Operating System.)
Use terminal command :
liveusb-creator --reset-mbr
USB stick must be formatted: fat16/32; Labeled=LIVE; boot flag set.
(The LIVE label is only required when the device is to be used for a subsequent uncompressed installation to a hard disk.)
