Re: [Sugar-devel] Features: Background image in Home View
Hi Gonzalo. Thanks for this awesome feature !! Just one small issue : I tried it on sugar-build, and sugar failed to start, because "BACKGROUND_IMAGE_PATH" was None. Changing the method "_update_background_image" to def _update_background_image(self, *args): self._background_pixbuf = None if BACKGROUND_IMAGE_PATH is None: return if os.path.exists(BACKGROUND_IMAGE_PATH): try: self._background_pixbuf = GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.new_from_file( BACKGROUND_IMAGE_PATH) self._favorites_eventbox.queue_draw() except: pass does the trick !!!

[Sugar-devel] JournalShare in ASLO
I have uploaded the activity JournalShare to ASLO http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4656 While the activity objective is improve sharing of journal objects in the classroom, I have used web technologies to allow a richer collaboration in the future, in line with the webservices proposal. Anyway, this is in a early stage, by example all the transference of data is done using a web server and a telepathy stream server, but I don't know if this solution will escalate to a full classroom, or if is the most efficient solution. Dsd proposed use MUC DBUS Tubes, like Record activity do, and is something to test the next week. Other idea is use the torrent protocol. Right now, I am running the server in a separated process, because running it in the same process (in another thread) blocked the UI. I will try to get it working in the same process, because running in other process is more error prone (at times the activity closes and the server not). Also the port used is fixed, then only one activity can run at the same time. Other problem pending to solve is when a user is downloading something the activity does not show feedback until the download ends. While the download code is copied from Browse, I don't know why is not working in the same way. The activity show the favorite items in the journal, like Portfolio does. In the future will allow selecting specific items from the journal to create a collection the shared items. Testing and ideas are welcome. Nothing is in stone. Have a nice weekend.

HTML activities on Sugar could be a first step to Android porting but IMO, the two projects are not necessarily interconnected. I do like the James idea of a PhoneGap framework for Sugar. This is the way I think this GSoC proposal. At the end of the GSoC we can hope to have a binding of the framework for Sugar on Fedora, then in few months a binding of the framework for Sugar on Android. So, the framework will be a way to ensure a portability between Sugar/Fedora and Sugar/Android. Im going to write a first draft of the proposal. We could update it collectively.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugar Framework for full HTML5 activity - subject proposal for GSoC
Edward, Since the Read Activity uses WebKit for reading EPUBs it seems likely that you could make an EPUB with JavaScript in it and make a sort of electronic pop-up book out of it. It might not be a strictly kosher EPUB, but Read probably wouldn't care. Maybe this could be something else to look at. You could make a packaging utility that takes an HTML file and any subdirectories beneath it and packages it as either a Sugar Activity or an EPUB. The utility could be written in Python and PyGTK so you could run it on any OS, and maybe it could run as a Sugar Activity as well.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugar Framework for full HTML5 activity - subject proposal for GSoC
I feel like there is a bit of confusion about both html activities and sugar on android which, in my mind, are pretty interconnected. I'm happy to write up a proposal if that helps moving towards a consensus and some kind of plan. It would probably take me a few days though.

It will be supportable but that's through a different effort that I've not got the time to be involved with. It will worth with around 20 odd ARM devices including a new soon to be announced device that will cost almost the same as a RPi and be a lot more powerful.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugar Framework for full HTML5 activity - subject proposal for GSoC
Lionel, I think this is definitely a great idea for GSoC. I like the work you've done in this area, but there was a fair amount of discussion on this list recently about different ways you could go about making an HTML 5 Activity and maybe this task could involve looking at several of these options. I definitely like the idea of having a sort of Phone Gap for Sugar where you could package up HTML 5 as an Activity without writing Python code.

[Sugar-devel] Sugar Framework for full HTML5 activity - subject proposal for GSoC
Hi all, Im thinking to do a proposal for GSoC around Sugar Framework for writing activity in full HTML5/JavaScript. My idea is to package and enhance the work Ive done on [1], specifically to fully avoid the need to write any Python code. Ive got experience of student mentoring but never on GSoC mentoring. Plus Im not fully aware of Sugar internal and about the capacity to build something like a new sort of activity packaging. So, if you think that it could be a good GSoC subject for Sugar and if someone is okay to co-mentoring with me, I could do a proposal. Tell me. Best regards from France. Lionel.

Attached is a patch to review implementing the feature [1] Almost all the work was done by Agustin Zubiaga, in the context of Google Code in contest, with a few little improvements from Walter and me. This is a long requested feature. I think we can organize a contest to create a collection of useful images, because not all the images are really appropriate due to the contrast needed with the icons. A few examples, good and bad are in the feature page. A list of possible future improvements is in the feature page too.

[Sugar-devel] Plans for SoaS v9
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. http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/19-Alpha-TC1/Live/ Regards, Peter ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
