===My project===
===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.

#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.
