Happy hacking and let us know what you think! :) What do I think? I think I made a mistake. So, I hosed my machine today... Following the directions above, it rebooted, showed the spankin' brand new "sugar" logo upon starting, booted into the sugar interface after asking for my name and gang colors. ;-) So far so good. I went into settings to change the time zone and it said it needed to restart. OK. Next, I'm at the Fedora login screen with a pre-printed "soas" username. Enter. Again, back at the sugar screen and all is well. Then shutdown. Then power on again. Uh-oh... Little XO stick kid and the startup sound (which always reminds me of a cross between the Westminster chimes and Close Encounters of the Third Kind sans the last note) appears as usual, and then: | Boot failed | OLPC C2, 256 MiB memory installed S/N SHF80703FA8 | OpenFirmware CL1 Q2E22 Q2E | | Powering off in 10 seconds Booting with the USB key in boots the latest and greatest, and shows that it remembered my username and gang colors. Oops. LATEST firmware... Back to the drawing board. So, download LATEST a.k.a. q2e41.rom, and check the MD5 and SHA1. All good. Booted from the USB key again, hit ESC, and told it to to "flash u:\q2e41.rom". It wanted to reboot before doing that, but then erased, flashed and checked. With the key in, XO kid, chimes, ignores ESC, shows a "Boot device: /nandflash ..." with kernel boot options that go by faster than I can read, and eventually comes up in the new Sugar with my name/colors still intact. Without the key, I see the boot failure with the new firmware number and a 30 second delay before shutdown.

Re: [IAEP] Google sponsor of All for Good portal, matches volunteers with projects
Caroline, I do think you should be the person (or a backup) who registers Sugar Labs as an organization in these systems. Since VolunteerMatch is the largest opportunity aggregator in the U.S. with 57,000+ listings, I recommend getting set up there with a free account. You'll need SL's mission statement and EIN (tax I.D.). It takes 24 hours to get approved. If you have time, I'd try to submit tonight to capitalize on the big traffic spike that will happen from all the announcements next week at the National Conference on Volunteerism and Service. A really nice feature of VounteerMatch is that volunteers register too and profile themselves. If there are people who have expressed in interest in education and technology, they will be sent an email alert about any opportunities posted by SL. Serve.gov and AllforGood do not offer this and because they are new, it's unclear who does the reviewing or how long it takes to get listed. AllforGood powers Serve.gov and pulls in from VolunteerMatch anyway.

Wauw, that is news to me: The platform to _develop_ activities is different than the platform to _run_ activities. I assumed that a working Sugar environment was supposed to be enough to take well-behaving Sugar activities apart and hack on them. Yes, I do know that the goal of supporting live editing activities by the learners have not been reached yet (except for a few Activities), but I still thought it was a goal - and pat of the vision with Sugar. >> Do you mean to say that an activity that contains C code linking >> directly to e.g. GTK+ 2.16 is ok? > >Yes. > >> IMO well-behaving non-Fructose activities should only require >> Glucose.

To provide a well-defined, fully scriptable Sugar ABI/API (see above) To allow activities to be portable across "implementations of Sugar" (to avoid the word "distribution" as has been discussed with SoaS). Essentially you are saying (or I am reading into it) that Fructose activities are those relying on unstable/missing Sugar ABI. >>> >>>No, released stable versions of fructose activities rely on at least >>>the last stable version of Sugar Platform. >> >> It makes sense to me that you consider some Sucrose releases stable >> as a whole. >> >> It makes no sense to me, however, that you consider individual >> Fructose activities stable and at the same time you say that "when >> the platform updates, say, xulrunner or evince, the activity for this >> release cycle won't work in the past releases and past versions won't >> work in the last release cycle." >> >> To me above sounds like a pretty exact description of an unstable >> ABI. > >Gtk+ has stable ABI, but you cannot expect that the latest GEdit will >work in a past release of Gtk+. Agreed. But that last part: "and past versions won't work in the last release cycle" is a different case, I believe. It makes sense to me that new features are added to new releases of Sugar, and that the use of those features makes newer releases of activities not work with older Sugar releases. But if older activity releases do not work with newer Sugar releases, then I would call it a broken ABI (and if a simple recompilation did not make the activity work either, the API was broken too). Did I misunderstand you, or did I perhaps misunderstand the fundamental logic of the terms ABI and API? >No activity _needs_ to be part of fructose.

Gtk+ has stable ABI, but you cannot expect that the latest GEdit will work in a past release of Gtk+. About the opposite direction, you are right. We need people to help with keeping backwards compatibility, but I will note that we have never promised this. For python activities it's quite easy to add hacks to make the activity run in several releases, but requires that the author do a lot of testing. >>> With your logic, activities that rely on non-Sugar libraries, like >>> TamTam, should be part of Fructose, as future releases of CSound >>> cannot be trusted to keep binary compatibility.

[IAEP] What can I do in an hour? (was: An interesting project I stumbled across)
To all: If you have a free hour you want to contribute, please find a wiki page ( http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/) that interests you--and could be improved with something you know or could explain more clearly. It's simple to click the edit tab button, and enter some new text or links, or whatever you want. Don't worry about making a mistake with the formating, others will come along to fix things up. If you don't want to edit the page directly, each page has a matching 'discussion' page, which you can reach by clicking the 'discussion' tab button at the top. These pages are meant to collect reader comments and questions relevant to the parent page. See for example, http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Talk:Welcome_to_the_Sugar_Labs_wiki. Remember to click the 'Watch' tab button so you will be notified of changes to the page. When you register your email with you account name, you can also click the 'prefs' (preferences) link at the top right of any page, and then, on the 'Watchlist' tab page, you can set a preference to add any page you edit to your personal watchlist. If you want to enter whole new content pages, there are some guidelines at http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Wiki_Team/Guide/Page_Creation. There are instructions there for experimenting with new pages in you personal 'User_talk:' section of the wiki. By this means, you can share and collaborate on whole projects in the Sugar Labs fields of interest, like Ed Cherlin's http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Creating_textbooks Some of our wiki pages are meant to collect new ideas: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Request_New_Features or questions: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_help#Help_Requests: or problems: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Submit_Bugs/Problems Please take a hour to explore the wiki, learn what's there, and then consider what's missing. At your next opportunity, enter that missing piece! It's your collective intelligence and contributions that make wikis work well.

Caroline, "What can a volunteer do" is a good general question. I have been lurking on this list for a while, and I am still looking for some SHORT tasks (1 hour or so) someone completely new could do. The problem with most tasks is hours of preparation they seem to require before they even start making sense. Maybe I missed some noob tasks, too, because I could not tell them among others.
