OSLL

We should focus on this project before 6th FRUCT seminar because we have to make a presentation and show results. New team is:
- Vera Kononova - leader
- Michael Krinkin - developer
- Nick Teslya - developer
- Arina Rudakova - developer/writer
- Pavel Zubarev - observer
- Kirill Krinkin - observer/communicator

I believe we will create the greatest product. It needs only well focused teamwork.

Short results can be found here http://osll.spb.ru/wiki/osll/_20090926_

The project took place at the same time as previous one - in a village Staraya Pustyn. The emphasis was on making full-fledged children projects.

These are two interviews focused mostly on technical tools were being used in a camp:
Computerra
Intel Galaxy
English version will be available soon on olpcnews.

Schedule and details are available here http://osll.spb.ru/wiki/osll/_20090829_. Feel free to add comments and fix something.

There are currently three Symbian books available free online, and more coming:

• One new book has been published as a free e-book - this is the book on Demand Paging, so it's most likely to be of interest to people doing work on Operating System principles or hardware. The e-book is a full pdf image available for free, or you can even pay money to get it as a printed physical book. Please note that in order to use the link below you have to pass registration at developer.symbian.org, which is free of charge and takes only two minutes of your time. Here is the link to the book: http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Demand_Paging_on_Symbian
• Also a couple of the Wiley books are now available online: Symbian OS Internals and Symbian OS Communications Programming. These aren't .pdf images of the book, but the full text has been dumped into wiki pages.

• More e-books are planned. For example, Ashlee's blog mentions a future book on Python that will be published as an e-book - this should be useful for introductory programming courses, etc.
• For all the online book-related material (e-books, wiki books, book lists, etc.) see http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Book

Now we are planning to new wave of students activities in wireless networking domain. Old name (NS2) not actual more. The main idea of that project is doing investigation and simulation. Last year shown a big limitations of NS2. Now we are thinking about having some expertise in NS3.

The contest has been announced on 5th FRUCT seminar. The main goal is to create the
best prediction algorithm to estimate and present to user at runtime the
remaining operating time.

There are next sources data.

• Event types: Current and Voltage measurements;
• mAh in battery;
• Cell ID (e.g. home, work, home city);
• Foreground application and running application list;
• Current cellular network voice (2G or 3G) and data usage
  (2/2.5/3/3.5G);
• Backlight On/Off and Charger In/Out/Charging/NotCharging;
• Wireless signal strengths (2G, 3G, WLAN, BT, GPS, DVB-H);
• Installed apps (listed when installed)

Detailed information is here http://www.fruct.org/images/contentmedia/s5_FRUCT_EPM_20090429.

Now we are discussing implementation details and going to start
additional investigation and development.

New project will be started soon.
