Dear Gnash Community, You are all hopefully familiar with the longstanding collaboration between the Gnash project and Sugar Labs / OLPC that has been mutually beneficial to all parties and the nearly two million kids with Gnash installed on their XO laptops around the world. Rob Savoye is still listed as the default owner of Gnash-related tickets on the OLPC bug tracker.
This long standing collaboration has recently been extended to the hosting of Gnash POT files on the Sugar Labs Pootle instance for the convenience of localizers and to enhance the language team coverage working on Gnash L10n. http://translate.sugarlabs.org/projects/upstream_POT/ You may or may not know that OLPC image builds are dual-boot in Sugar and GNOME user interfaces with a spin of the Fedora Linux OS underlying it all. I would like to draw your attention ot this ticket filed by OLPC's Lead QA Engineer on the OLPC bug tracker for the purpose of following up on Gnash on ARM via the Fedora package repositories. http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/11109 OLPC is in early pre-production testing of it's newest XO 1.75-B1 laptop that runs on the Marvell Armada 610 ARM processor and is expected to drop power requirements down into the two watt range after optimization (compared to tens of watts for the average laptop, more details at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO-1.75 ) and so I would also like to draw your attention to this message from OLPC inviting applications to it's Contributor's Program for developers willing to address critical issues (like Gnash function on ARM acrhitecture) on the limited number of B1 prototypes that have been manufactured. http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2011-July/032402.html It would be a wonderful continuation of this collaboration if the Gnash development team could invest some effort in making sure that the Gnash packages for Fedora on ARM were being thoroughly tested and improved as needed to continue addressing the needs of children that will be receiving the even more energy efficient XO 1.75 laptops that will be entering production in the future. I strongly suspect that an application for a B1 prototype from a core Gnash developer might be well-received and I know that any attention given to Gnash in Fedora on ARM packages would be extremely welcome. Warmest Regards, cjl Sugar Labs / OLPC / eToys Pootle admin _______________________________________________ Gnash-dev mailing list Gnash-dev@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnash-dev
