The timeline looks good. We'll get the release out before GCI so that the
students won't collide.

[Sugar-devel] Sugar 0.110 Release Cycle

[sam]

Hi All,

I will be doing the release management for the 0.110 cycle.  Please see 
the timeline [1].  I would appreciate any comments on the timeline.


I've also setup a COPR for sugar, which I hope to maintain throughout 
this cycle.  Are there any other packaging services that we should have 
to push testing releases to?  Is there a service for automatic building 
of live SoaS images?  XO images?  Let's make this the most tested sugar 
release ever!


Thanks,
Sam

Re: [Sugar-devel] GSOC Day 3

Hi Sam,
I have fixed the keyboard input handler. 

Icons like blocksoff.svg in turtleart are preferable. What do you think?

I am now working on metadata for projects implemented the 
initialize_journal_obj for project which will create jobject for projects.

I'll update my branch with changes soon.

Abhijit

[Sugar-devel] [SLOB] meeting reminder (note time change)

[Walter Bender]

After consulting with the members of the Sugar Labs oversight board, we
have agreed to move the regular meeting times to 19:00 UTC on the first
Friday of each month. (The 16:00 UTC time was conflicting with the work
schedule of several board members.) Ergo, the next meeting is Friday, 3
June 2016 at 19:00UTC (See the timer link [1] below.) Please join us at
irc.freenode.net #sugar-meeting The meeting agenda can be found in the wiki
[2]).

regards.

Hi

It would also be good to make a 'cellrenderer' table view of the font's
glyphs:

I would expect that there are GTK class methods for both of these
already... :)

Re: [Sugar-devel] [GSOC] Font Editor Next Steps

[Yash Agarwal]

Today's Work

   1. Normalized the glyph drawing code
   2. Made a renderGlyph Class for drawing the glyph inside a specified box
   size
   3. Made a glyphGridInstance Class for drawing a grid of glyph from a
   given list

code available here

screenshot is here



Tomorrow's target

   1. Make a complete class for the character View
   2. make buttons on the side of the grid that allows the user to see all
   of the characters or make a scrollable grid view

Questions

   1. @Dave what should we use buttons on either side of the grid or a
   scrollable grid view for the character map
   2. How do we make multiple pages in an activity? eg. one for character
   map and when the user clicks on one of the glyphs a glyph editing view pops
   up with a back button to the character map

Re: [Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] Instant palette popdown - a usability improvement

[Tony Anderson]

Hi Sam

I like the Google apps button on the Google main page and the menu 
button at the far right of the Firefox toolbar. They show as a popup and 
have
plenty of screen space for icons and larger font sizes. This could 
support a design in which a left-click always causes an action and a 
right-click is required

to open up the 'palette' This is done well on the standard toolbar.

On the Home View, for instance. I would prefer that left-clicking on the 
icon launches the activity (new start). The tooltip shows the name of 
the activity (and nothing else). A right-click can open a list of 
instances available to be resumed. Using the Google or Firefox style, 
the list of instances can look exactly like the corresponding entry in 
the Journal.

Hi All,

A while ago, I dropped a mention on the list to how many users found 
the palette system confusing, at least in my usability testing 
experiment.
