[Sugar-devel] Need Assistance

[Nitin Jain]

Hi,

I am a B.Tech sophomore from India. After going through the ideas page, I
think that the "Versioned Datastore" idea is pretty cool.
I am familiar with Python and PYGTK and I want to contribute to it.

I have succesfully cloned and installed sugar on my PC and also looked at
bugs.sugarlabs.org and all the related links as suggested.

I tried registering on trac but I am not getting the email confirmation
mail. Could you please help me on this?

Also, if you could suggest any beginner bugs that would help me to get
familiar with the code?
Please suggest if there's anything else that I could contribute to.
Looking forward to the feedback.

Thanks.

Regards,
Nitin Jain

Hello,

If trac is not emailing you, try going to the forgot password page and
getting it to reset the password email.  Alternatively, maybe the solution
is just to attempt to log in in spite of receiving the email.  This seems
to be an annoying trac issue as I haven't yet found a case that always
reproduces it.

Regarding beginner tasks, maybe the Google code in tasks will interest
you?  I assume they are still available.  Otherwise please say that and I
will do a search.

Thanks,
Sam

 Your question puzzles me.  I didn't think there was any ambiguity or
 doubt.  It is unfortunate that I'm the only one who has posted about
 the positioning of this design change.

 Is it because you have an alternate suggestion?

 Good to hear combining the widgets worked.  Looking forward to seeing
 a patch or pull request.

[Sugar-devel] Trip Advisor grant statement of work

[Walter Bender]

I was asked to repost the statement of work from the Trip Advisor grant.
Here it is:

There are two specific goals for the Tripadvisor grant:

(1) Broaden the reach of our indigenous language support. Currently we have
language projects in ~150 languages (for example, we cover Aymara, Quechua,
Gurani and other languages of the Andes region). But the problem is
enormous: for example, in Nigeria, there are more than 300 languages
spoken. We only have partial coverage in four of these languages. We need
to push much harder on making Sugar be available in the local language of
the learner; this requires both outreach and coordination that is above and
beyond what we can support strictly through our volunteer efforts. So we
are hoping to establish a seed fund to help with translation efforts:
augmenting the efforts of our volunteers with some professional translation
services in Latin America, Africa, and South Asia.

(2) Support for a major new outreach initiative we are launching in October
2013. We are celebrating International Turtle Art Day (Turtle Art is a
programming environment for children that is one of the cornerstone apps
bundled with the Sugar platform.) We are trying to:
* Promote the use of Turtle Art (We have three million users, but would
like to double that number over the next three years);
* Share and promote best practices (We want to ensure that our users are
getting maximum value from their investment of time);
* Celebrate projects for children and teachers (We want to bring children
together to their local venues and connect them globally through a shared
project site to their peers as a way of encouraging them to push themselves
further -- creating a network effect around learning opportunities).

Internationalization and localization are on-going efforts for us and areas
we take quite seriously. As we expand to more regions, the need to develop
and sustain local localization teams is paramount to reaching more children
with our learning tools. We would use the Tripadvisor donation as the
initial basis of a fund to help
translation efforts both targeted opportunistically by Sugar Labs and on
demand by our user community, with an emphasis on expanding our reach in
Africa.

Turtle Art Day is scheduled for October 2013. (We already have venues lined
up in the United States, Peru, Colombia, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Uruguay,
Nigeria, India, and Australia). We hope that Turtle Art Day will be an
annual event, celebrated simultaneously in 100s of venues. We are asking
TAMG to be the inaugural event sponsor and to help us establish a framework
by which it can be readily replicated in the coming years.

The internationalization and localization work would be overseen by Chris
Leonard, the Sugar Labs Internationalization Team leader. The management of
the funds would be overseen by the executive director, Walter Bender, who
also happens to be the lead developer of the Turtle Art program. Sugar Labs
will provide Tripadvisor with detailed reports on all spending.
regards.

[Sugar-devel] Gould grant statement of work

[Walter Bender]

I was asked to repost the Statement of Work for the Gould grant. Please see
below:

Description of the specific project for which funding is requested,
including goals and objectives.

This grant would support Sugar Labs in implementing a pilot of the “Sugar
on a Stick” program at the Gardner Pilot Academy (GPA) in the Allston
neighborhood of Boston. Sugar itself is in use in tens of thousands of
classrooms around the world, but this would be the first school to make
Sugar available to children using inexpensive USB memory sticks instead of
laptop computers. If successful, it will serve as a model that will greatly
expand the reach of Sugar and the pedagogical models upon which it is based.

Sugar Labs has created a system that can store Sugar and a computer
operating system on a 1GB USB (memory) stick. Each student will be provided
with a preloaded stick, which they can simply insert into any computer,
restart, and be immediately connected to their personal suite of
collaborative, creative and Web 2.0 learning tools. Students will have “any
time, any computer” access to learning. A server at the school will store
and back up student's work allowing students to easily receive a new USB
stick in case theirs break or is lost. Sugar on a Stick also comes with
journal and portfolio assessment components that allow teachers and parents
to monitor student work.

If funded, our Gould Foundation project will allow us to provide each
student at Gardner Pilot Academy with Sugar on a Stick. Students at the
GPA, as at many other US schools, need greater and more affordable access
to computing. Sugar on a Stick allows students to use Sugar on computers in
the classroom, at home, at grandma’s, anywhere and everywhere there is a
computer. By deploying it on a USB stick we believe we have the potential
to easily reach an order of magnitude more children than are currently
being reached by one-to-one laptop programs.

Sugar is a completely different visual experience and so we recommend that
you watch a demo of the program in action to get a feel for how it's
different from other computing experiences. We offer you a link to the demo
created for an exhibit on design at the Museum of Modern Art:
http://www.sugarlabs.org/index.php?template=gallery=media_01

There are hundreds of different, free, open-source activities and books
that can be added to Sugar (www.activities.sugarlabs.org). These include:

word processing

artistic expression by creating graphics and rich media

journals and portfolios to use for reflection, assessment, and discussion

web browsing and interactive web activities

playing as well as making movies and music

reading electronic books

creating and playing games with other students in their class

programming


The Gardner Pilot Academy is the flagship full-service community school
within the Boston Public Schools (BPS). The school's vision is to educate
the minds and develop the characters of all students in partnership with
families and community. To achieve this GPA provides high quality teaching
along with a range of social, emotional and enrichment programs delivered
by means of partnerships with an array of community organizations and
individuals. Over the past twelve years, GPA has developed strong
associations with four universities, several health and mental health
agencies, the YMCA, and various organizations teaching visual and
performing arts. As one of just 20 pilot schools in the BPS, GPA is exempt
from district mandates. Therefore, GPA has autonomy in the areas of budget
and personnel, along with the freedom to implement innovative curricula,
assessments, and interventions.

GPA is located only a few blocks from Harvard Business School and so is
convenient for project development participants who may be students at one
of Boston’s many universities.

The school currently has a single computer lab with older computers running
Windows 2000. We will be soliciting donations of used equipment from local
business to supplement these existing resources. Sugar can be used at all
elementary levels and curriculum areas.

Sugar is free software, based on Linux and licensed under the Gnu Public
License (GPL). All the software, documentation and curriculum we create
during this project will be freely available to anyone to use, improve, and
redistribute.

regards.

Re: [Sugar-devel] [IAEP] Trip Advisor grant statement of work

[Nick Doiron]

Hi Walter and SLOBs,

In 2013, I was asked to participate in a Haitian Creole translation program
with SugarLabs, TripAdvisor, and EducaVision. Predictably, there was a
trivial software issue and I never saw this work completed.

I did release a Sugar activity which is on "HaitiOS" laptops today, and a
static HTML+JS app which you can access here
https://github.com/mapmeld/diy-dictionary

I don't see Haiti mentioned in your TripAdvisor email.  I have friends
still working with Sugar in Haiti, so I'm curious, is money still allocated
for Haitian Creole? After 3 years, can another Creole translator be
selected? Thanks.

Regards,
Nick Doiron

Haitian was not mentioned specifically in the Trip Advisor grant, but we
did allocate funds (still unspent AFAIK) for Haitian Creole. Love to invest
in that effort if you can identify someone to do the work.

That's great news. Is this specifically for localizing Sugar OS and the
core activities, or can it be applied more generally to Haitian Creole
language resources for Sugar / Sugarizer ?

I think the spirit of the Trip Advisor grant is such that it could be
applied more generally to Sugar / Sugarizer resources. We need to define a
scope of work as per the other i18n contracts we have written. Something
along the lines of:

Exhibit A – The Proposal

Conservancy agrees to pay the Contractor Milestone Fees according to the
following schedule,
contingent upon the receipt and approval of Milestone Submissions
corresponding to
the Milestones listed below. For the purposes of this Agreement, Contractor
is to provide
sufficient internationalization and localization services to prepare the
Work for use in the
Aymara language, in compliance with ISO 639-1 Code “ay”.

All of Contractor’s services for the completion of these Milestones shall
be prepared for
submission to the Sugar Labs: Translation System server, which can be found
online here:
http://translate.sugarlabs.org/.

1. Milestone 1.
Contractor is to complete translation of the Sugar and the Sugar toolkit
projects, which
are collectively comprised of approximately 100 words.
sugar: http://translate.sugarlabs.org/ayc/sugar/
sugar-toolkit-gtk3: http://translate.sugarlabs.org/ayc/sugar-toolkit-gtk3/
Milestone Fee for Milestone 1 = $100 USD.

2. Milestone 2.
Contractor is to complete translation of the Music Blocks translation
project, which is
comprised of approximately 100 words.
The Music Blocks translation project can be found online here:
https://github.com/
walterbender/musicblocks/blob/master/po/ayc.po
Milestone Fee for Milestone 2 = $100 USD.

There are a few other details to sort out in setting up a contract,
including copyright assignment and proper licensing. All pretty straight
forward once we actually have translators identified.

Happy to answer any questions.

 There are two specific goals for the Tripadvisor grant:

 (1) Broaden the reach of our indigenous language support. Currently we

 In 2013, I was asked to participate in a Haitian Creole translation
 program with SugarLabs, TripAdvisor, and EducaVision. Predictably, there
 was a trivial software issue and I never saw this work completed.

 I did release a Sugar activity which is on "HaitiOS" laptops today, and
 a static HTML+JS app which you can access here

 I don't see Haiti mentioned in your TripAdvisor email.  I have friends

Re: [Sugar-devel] [IAEP] Trip Advisor grant statement of work

[Caryl Bigenho]

Hi Folks...
Just curious, but what were the outcomes of the project at GPA? Was donated 
hardware acquired as suggested? Was SOAS used extensively and with what 
measurable results? Is the project continuing? What is its current status?

At this point, it seems the focus might appropriately be changed to supporting 
Sugarizer, which can run on any devices a school, or the students happens to 
have, and on IIAB which can deliver Sugarizer and other important educational 
resources on an ongoing basis.
Additionally, I feel there is an urgent need for documentation that will help 
people use Sugarizer and the individual Activities included. People can 
download it "for free," but  they probably have no clue what a powerful tool 
they have, literally, in their hands, nor do they know what they can do with 
it. I have some ideas for this but will save them for another time.
Just sayin' 

Re: [Sugar-devel] [IAEP] Trip Advisor grant statement of work

[Chris Leonard]

I would note that we had interpreted the TripAdvisor scope to include
efforts that would have a direct impact on l10n/i18n of Sugar to
include such efforts as developing new glibc locales (which are
required to be able to implement localization in Sugar).  Although I
have never actually followed through with the full request and payment
cycle, there was a template agreement developed for such work approved
by SFC and on occasion, pre-approval from the SLOBs for a specific
effort.  Aymara and Quechua locales were developed and committed to
glibc (prior to TripAdvisor grant), a draft Awajun glibc locale was
developed and shared with Sebastian Silva for testing, although I
still need to follow through with commit to glib, a glibc locale for
Niue (the first nation to actually achieve one laptop per child
coverage back in the day), significant changes were made to the
Papiamento and Haitian locales, etc.  My thinking on the matter is if
it is L10n/i18n related and the performance terms can be worked out in
advance with SFC and pre-approved by the SLOBs as supporting the
SugarLabs mission in a manner that is clearly justifiable to the
donor, then it is worth pursuing the discussion.

Although I haven't been very active, and I am grateful to tch and
Sebastian for stepping up to fill the gap on infrastructure support, I
still maintain a desire to assist in advancing L10n / i18n efforts.  I
still have commit privs to the glibc project and there has been recent
talk about porting some unrepresented CLDR locales over to glibc and
I've been in touch with the Papiamento team about CLDR locale
development (to help then localize LibreOffice).

interesting.
I have setup development environment as given in developer section.
how to get started with this idea? Where can I find beginner's bugs? I am
