Re: [Sugar-devel] VM for building an ARM image
I've tested building with QEMU emulation, with BeagleBone Black hardware, and with XO-4 hardware, and the XO-4 hardware is the fastest of the three. An ARM development system with more memory, faster cores, and SATA disk interface, will perform better. We still use Fedora 18 to build Fedora 20 on the XO-4, because of unsolved problem http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/12837 Instructions for setting up Fedora 20 on QEMU emulator can be found at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/F20/Installation#For_Versatile_Express_Emulation_with_QEMU Thanks for the pointer to: https://olpcau.atlassian.net/wiki/plugins/servlet/mobile#content/view/28016655 I was not aware of it. It is so sad that teams doing building have not shared their work with OLPC and the Sugar Labs community. Please do share your work!

[Sugar-devel] VM for building an ARM image
Hey guys, I woluld like to know what is the best emulator setup to get a VM for builing like Martin describes here https://www.google.com.uy/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&ei=D3aLVaP8Norz-QGik66wCw&url=https://olpcau.atlassian.net/wiki/plugins/servlet/mobile%23content/view/28016655&ved=0CDEQFjAG&usg=AFQjCNEtmb1dzOR4yP2EQxM57cUcTqcIiQ&sig2=MhGjEzmJAC9zdhdkWICe1A Thanks in advance.

Then the board decided we needed to have "diversity" in the committee. Now it's hard for Caryl, Samson and I to coincide, as one has been traveling, the other has exams, and I am in the process of relocating. I've setup a surveying system (a couple of months ago), that is pretty much ready for voting. I am still waiting for the committee to decide how many seats will be available and when to do the election. I was hoping to use the opportunity to make a wider survey in the community that could inform the direction for the Board. I will limit myself to be the technical person and make sure the surveying system works reliably, while I still wait for the other members of the committee to make decisions and try the surveying system. -- I+D SomosAzucar.Org "icarito" #somosazucar en Freenode IRC "Nadie libera a nadie, nadie se libera solo.

According to the wiki page [1] they had a meeting 2 months ago which they made decisions relating towards the Sugar Deployment Survey, Turtle Art Days and GSOC2015. From my knowledge they are also in control of the spending and domains and those important oversight things. I do not see any reason to drop the oversight board. IDK about the election but.

I think that was just a joke, but you get the point. I'm sure that 3million is probs legit because of SoaS and sugarizer as well as XOs. In my **personal** opinion I do not think that the number on the website is an important issue. We have many more bugs and UX bugs that need fixing, and even in the context of the website there are bigger issues. > > It would be appreciated if someone from Sugar Labs could clarify the > status of these issues. > Hopefully I did!
