===Description===

I would implement a Push-To-Talk activity for the XO. It would act like a walkie-talkie. It would provide XO with the much needed VoIP. I would also enable it to play media files on other XO s from the XO which is sharing the media file.

Line 11:

#Silent until button pressed

#Mixes simultaneous speakers

#Activity has to be shared to allow streaming

#Multiple connections

#VoIP

#User who may not get an invitation to join the activity may request one to the caller from the neighborhood view.

'''Individual Test Distribution Story''':

#Caller shares activity in the neighborhood or to a specific user.As such all users with Push-to-talk receive an invitation to join / share the activity to converse with the caller.

#The call by the caller is accepted by the users by clicking on a green button in the GUI of the Push-to-Talk.

#Users who may not get an invitation may request the caller to allow him/her to join the activity.This may appear as yellow notification on the GUI of the caller.The name of the user would also be displayed.The caller may press the yellow notification / button to accept the user else he may ignore it.Once the user is accepted he is treated like a normal user.

#The users could disconnect from the call by pressing on the Red button in the GUI to leave the shared activity.

#Similarly the caller may disconnect from the users of the shared activity.He would press the red button and then the name of the user he would like to disconnect.

#To end activity, caller disconnects from the activity by pressing STOP.

#It would provide XO with a VoIP activity.It is about facilitating free speech. It is but natural for humans to speak.The very ability to talk has brought mankind this far.Thus, Push-to-Talk would provide an easy way to converse with anyone who is using this activity.

#Locally, it would allow conversations and allow sharing of media files.It would also be used as a platform to develop a community radio http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Xoradio

#It would allow interactions between children from different schools across the globe.It would lead to free speech.

#It could also be used a Disaster Management tool.

"A low-cost walkie talkie helps to meet two of the very important goals of Sugar Labs and free software communities :-

#"To make it “simple” to share activities. This will require an architecture that allows discovery of activities;

#To provide a forum for discussion and support for technology and development for learning.

This activity puts communication at the front seat. Communication and learning go hand in hand with each other. I look forward to see better communication facilitation among its users through this activity."
