Second Week Recap!

This week was, again, a whirlwind of experiences. Leading the charge on this battle, we were able to take Monday off because we all went to the National Civic Day of Hacking. Beginning on Tuesday, we had a short seminar on getting set up on GitHUB to learn how to use Git. We also started our planning for our trip to a local school for Lemonade Day, by planning I mean we started talking about what would be good to bring and how we were going to get there.

Moving into our rather dismal Wednesday, this was the day that mentally exhausted everyone who was searching for information. We embarked on our extended journey to find some sort of reference for information regarding school servers. Little did we know that this journey would take the rest of the day, as well as refuse to yield any results...As a last effort, I emailed the FOSSbox friend Walter Bender, to see if he could help point us into the right direction. He gave us a list of people to ping in IRC channel for some info. Within the #sugar channel we found a dev who pointed us toward another channel #schoolserver. Within this paradise of informaiton known as

schoolserver, we met a guide by the handle of "Aklis" . This particular dev

knew a ton of information regarding the school servers that we need to work with. We talked to him for awhile getting a couple urls that will definitely help us:

School Server Documentation

[Journal Backup Reference](http://web.archive.org/web/20101103030824/http://wi ki.paraguayeduca.org/index.php/Analisis_de_Uso_de_Actividades

)

[Journal Back Up Source code](http://web.archive.org/liveweb/http://git.paragu ayeduca.org/gitweb/users/rgs/xs-scripts.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/get-journal- stats.py?js=1

)

These are the first urls in a long line of information trail blazing. We'll keep this updated as we keep searching and finding answers to our questions.

The next rather big thing on the plate was that we attended a local school in supporting Lemonade Day. We brought a couple XO laptops installed with Skytime and Lemonade Stand for young students to playtest while we went and gorged ourselves on lemonade. It was an awesome time, partly because the kids were amazing sales people with great lemonade and cookies and 50% of the proceeds went to a charitable cause!

That about wraps up week 2, stay tuned for week 3 posts!
