Dear participants to the online ActiveMath authoring tutorial,

As announced, the tutorial will take place on the April 20th and May 4th, 11th, 18th, and 25th. The first session will start at 10:00 AM CET (i.e. GMT+2) until 12:00 then 14:00 until 17:00.

Ports to be opened

For the tutorial we are using the real-time-streaming-protocol transmitting live video and audio signals. For this purpose, the following ports should be opened:

• ports 554 (UDP&TCP) or 7070 (TCP) (from media.activemath.org)

Your system administrator should be able to do this. Disabling firewalls may be an alternative which some consider risky.

Registration

Please take login or create an account eds.activemath.org, and describe in your profile your expectations of the ActiveMath server. If you have not done so yet, please send me the data of the computer you intend to use: RAM, operating-system, CPU, network.

First Installation

Please obtain a subversion client and JDK 1.5 and follow the installation instructions. Also, you should please start a first time, and authorize, the jEditOQMath developer snapshot. Please do so before the installation check.

Please also install Firefox.

Installation Check Next Week

A very important step for us to enjoy a smooth usage is to verify the most common tasks can be achieved on your machine. We wish to verify this with our own eyes and mouse during the week before the tutorial, using a remote desktop tool such as copilot.com. Please take an appointment with me from Tuesday till Thursday next week so that we can do this verification. The machine that will be used for authoring and during the tutorial, including its network configuration, should be available.

Please watch the tutorial book for further news and the invitation to next meeting instructions.
