Re: [SoaS] Plans for SoaS v9

2013-03-22 Thread edyro...@hotmail.com
Would you consider selling me one usb stick that boots with the new load? I  
have tried a number of times to create one and I alwayx get a numer of erros  
using, tablets, notebooks, netbooks, and desktop. I struck out! And gave up.  
I would be willing to pay whatever to obtain one! I saw a utility on Fedora  
to clone usb's.

Thanks
Eddie

Hello:

V9 will be based on fedora 19? I'm downloading the latest (which i
think would be for fedora 18)

I'll be testing both during the weekend. Something in particular that
you would like for me to tes or just Activities (that sounded like it
was easy and fast, but i know it is not :-)

cheers

Hi All,

I'm trying to get a little bit more organised for this cycle than I
have been over the last couple.

The plans for SoaS v9 are going to be somewhat simple. We're going to
stick with the 0.98.x release of Sugar and focusing on polish.

I would like to see more people testing and using it during the dev
cycle so I don't get the My Activity is broken post release or five
minutes before release when we're generating final images and pushing
them out to the Fedora mirrors.

I would also like to remove sugar-presence-service but that would mean
either dropping eToys or the developers stepping up to actually fix
the dependency that they've only been promising to do for 2 or so
years.

Is there anything in particular that people would like to contribute
during this cycle? Anything I can help someone achieve? Does anyone
want to dig into the documentation on the web site to improve the
process?

I'd also love marketing to get involved since we've not had any
publicity for a number of releases and after all Walter was telling me
some time back that it's the biggest single driver in the wiki.

Finally there's a Test Compose for the alpha available in the
following link. I've used it briefly in a VM and it boots and seems to
mostly work.

Regards,

Peter,
Thanks for checking back.
We want to donate some tablets or netbooks to some small schools in  
Dominican Republic running sugar software. Our budget for the first trip is  
a couple thousand dollars. A 10 inch screen would be nice. Im sure you have  
a good feel for what is working in 3rd world countries. Any in put would be  
good


Thanksgiving!!

What sort of tablets? Size, spec, architecture?
