Is it squeak and etoys that we are missing from debian?

They now seem to be available in lenny.

 Hello Guys!

 How can i call an activity from shell ?

You can see here how the shell resumes or starts an activity:

http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/sugar/repos/mainline/blobs/master/src/jarabe/desktop/favoritesview.py#line528

 Is possible to call a activity from a html page ? How can i do that ?

With security enabled, it's not possible. Without security, you can
handle the event with pyxpcom and then launch the activity in exactly
the same way as the shell.

 The Wellington Testers team has been asking me for an intro to

 So I've been wondering - what materials would you suggest for a
 fast-track into Sugar development workshop. I am thinking of 2
 half-day sessions, one focused on the Sugar stack and the second one
 on activity creation. The welly testers get together once a week, for
 ~4hs -- so that limits the format in this case.

 I won't be the best guy to deliver it, but I'll try. I understand the
 XO stack fairly well, but I'm not a Sugar dev, so patchy in some
 areas.

 There's an active python UG in Welly, so maybe they want to be part of it
 too.

 Outcomes
 • more devs knowing Sugar stack and activities == more patches, more
 activities?
 • more expert testers...
 • resulting materials and sliderware
 • video of the session - also freely licensed

 Now that I think of it, it'd be great to do it in Spanish, and
 circulate it in Uy. Sadly, I don't have a spanish-speaking audience in
 Welly.

Re: [Sugar-devel] [olpc-nz] Hints for a Sugar dev intro?

2009-01-26 Thread Gabriel Eirea
We are planning a Documentation Jam in Uruguay for late February. I
think Wade's page is an excellent starting point but we want to do it
in Spanish and to write it from our own experience. Many of us started
almost from scratch and we want to reflect on the learning curve and
get to the essentials so new people can join in with less effort.

We have very little experience with Sugar itself. We want to focus at
this stage on activities, so we plan to cover things like Python,
PyGtk, Cairo, Pango, Pygame, bundling, using git, using trac, using
pot files, collaboration, datastore, etc.

If you have any new materials or comments, they would be much apprecited.

 But none of the maintainers did follow the Sucrose release cycle, even
 though I sent a reminder
 http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/sugar/2008-November/010021.html

 Any, specific reason for that? Pippy has not been moved to
 git.sugarlabs.org, as well.

 please indicate clearly:
 * if you still want to be part of Sucrose (including following the
 release cycle)
 * any new maintainer that is willing to do this task if you does not want to
 * any issues/reasons you have to do so

 Best,

 To follow up on this, I mainly want to find a maintainer for Pippy for
 Sucrose. If there is no one willing to do that we drop it, which is ok -
 one can still download the xo etc, I just want a clearer situation.

Hi,

I will maintain Pippy for Sucrose, though I may need a bit of hand holding.

Please let me know if what I did seems correct (esp. step 2):

1. l got the most recent version of Pippy from git
git-clone git://dev.laptop.org/projects/pippy-activity
cd pippy-activity

2. ./setup.py gave a bunch of invalid entry in MANIFEST errors about
different locales, so I ran:
./setup.py fix_manifest

3. ./setup.py dist_source

4. I asked a crank sysadmin to add me to the Sugar group,
And I moved Pippy-30.tar.bz2 to:
http://dev.laptop.org/pub/sugar/sources/Pippy/Pippy-30.tar.bz2 (805K)

I will move pippy over to git.sugarlabs.org as well.

[Sugar-devel] addons.mozilla.org - what needs to be done?

2009-01-26 Thread Mel Chua
(ccing the dev list at Wade's request)

Hiya, Tomeu -

Wade said I should ask you what infrastructure work needs to be done to 
get addons.mozilla.org up and running. Could you point me towards 
logins/servers/existing work/trac tickets and help me get started?

This afternoon was the first I'd heard about us using 
addons.mozilla.org, and it gets a huge +1 from me - I'd like to be able 
to use it for reviews/comments/tags during Activity testing at the 
Wellington testers meetup next Saturday, so let me know what I have to 
do to get it up before then.

Thanks!

--Mel

 excerpted IRC log, for backstory 

mchua cjb: is the idea to use the framework for addons.mozilla.org for 
sugar activities
cjb yes, exactly
cjb so, it's mainly for delivering .xos to laptops, as our 
wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities does now
wadeb|w there are two different faces to each activity, the user face 
and the developer face
wadeb|w addons.sl.o is the user facing portal
wadeb|w ie reviews of activities, comments, tags, hosting of .xo files
wadeb|w gitorious and w.sl.o/ActivityTeam/ is the developer facing 
wadeb|w so, if we create per-activity wiki pages they're gonna be 
developer focused
wadeb|w still, right now I'm down on per-activity anything as things 
tend to get lost
mchua wadeb|w: so if there's any infrastructure work that I can do to 
help that have a place to go next weekend, I would love to
wadeb|w we just need someone to find the time to finish it
mchua wadeb|w: I have time, not sure if I have know-how. how can i 
find out?
wadeb|w mchua: yeah, I'm pondering the best way to organize the data
wadeb|w mchua: it's just some python-based webserver hacking afaik.
mchua wadeb|w: ...that does sound like something I could do
mchua wadeb|w: i've got to pop out for a bit, conf lunchtime - it 
sounds like we need the infrastucture up before we can do any of the 
per-activity data migration, and that addons.sl.org is the 
infrastructure that needs to go up, and so my first task should be to 
get that up?
wadeb|w mchua: ok, ping tomeu for information on what needs to be done
wadeb|w mchua: sounds like a plan
wadeb|w mchua: it's our #1 activity infrastructure need right now
