[Sugar-devel] Sugar Digest 2010-08-25
==Sugar Digest== 1. I wrote about a discussion with John Gilmore in April [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Archive/Current_Events/2010-04-01]. When John asked how many patches have been contributed by Sugar end-users, I responded that community members have contributed patches but that I was unaware of any patches contributed by children. I went on to argue that it is not relevant whether or not patches are submitted or accepted. The learning happens in creating the patch and in submitting it or sharing it with a friend. Hopefully, Sugar has instilled in children and their teachers the sense that they can be expressive with computing. That said, the children are being creative with Sugar in ways that I had not anticipated. For example, Bernie shared [http://codewiz.org/wiki/pictures/sugar/deployment/paraguay/caacupe/scratcheros/3.jpg] from Caacupé of a surprising and wonderful use of the nickname field in Sugar. It may not be a patch to the Python code, but it certainly is a user contribution that extends and enhances Sugar, a great first step for a sixth grader. 2. In the US, there is a mid-term election in November. At Sugar Labs, we will be holding our mid-term election in October in order to fill three oversight board positions. (You may recall that we agreed to stagger the two-year terms of the board so that 3 or 4 positions are up for reelection every year.) We have several tasks associated with election: (1) Updating our member list [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Members/List|, which is used to generate ballots. If you are already a member of Sugar Labs, your name will appear on the list and you will receive a ballot by email in October. If you are not a member and would like to be, please contact Luke Faraone, our membership administrator, who will add you to the list. Recall that the requirement to be a member of Sugar Labs is to engage with the project and the community. This can be as simple as asking a question. (2) Gathering together a list of nominees. If you are interested in joining the Sugar oversight board, please contact me and I will add your name to the ballot. Also, please prepare a position statement about your candidacy on your User page in the wiki. There are no restrictions in regard to whom can run, e.g., whether you were born in Kenya or the United States, you are eligible. ===In the community=== 3. There will be an OLPC/Sugar/Realness summit October 21 – 24 in San Francisco. The summit is being hosted by the San Francisco Bay Area OLPC community. More details are available at [http://olpcsf.org/CommunitySummit2010/]. ===Tech Talk === 4. Last week, we entered Feature Freeze for Sugar Release 0.90. This week we entered UI Freeze. Next week is String Freeze. Hard code freeze starts on September 13. Simon Schampijer is once again pulling together contributions from the community; the new release is looking great. ===Sugar Labs=== Gary Martin has generated a SOM from the past week of discussion on the IAEP mailing list. http://wiki/sugarlabs.org/go/File:2010-Aug-14-20-som.jpg (18 emails) Visit our planet [http://planet.sugarlabs.org] for more updates about Sugar and Sugar deployments. -walter -- Walter Bender Sugar Labs http://www.sugarlabs.org ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

[Sugar-devel] [Design]Control Panel max_column value
Hi all, I was working on Bug-Ubuntu (LP #617582).[1] Now while fixing the bug I narrowed down to the controlpanel/gui.py file . In that file the value of _MAX_COLUMNS was set to 6. After discussing with alsroot, we decided that it should not be hardcoded. Instead its value should be assigned on the fly according to the screen width. In the end we set the value to ? gtk.gdk.screen_width() /(3* style.GRID_CELL_SIZE)or ? gtk.gdk.screen_width()/ 200 is solving the issue at my end. I have tested this by opening the emulator in different resolutions. I request you that if you have a better solution for this problem then please let me know.

The appropriate video format for Sugar is Ogg Theora, and there are many tools that can produce it. Maybe the easiest is Firefogg: 1. Start Firefox (install it if you don't have it already) 2.
