[Jui Pradhan]

Hi Shivam,
 I truly appreciate your effort to come up with project
ideas. We are open to discuss new ideas, you may make a pull request
against the GSoC repository. Any new project idea needs to be discussed and
you would need someone willing to mentor you for that idea. Kindly have a
look at the project ideas listed on the Ideas page:
https://github.com/sugarlabs/GSoC/blob/master/Ideas-2021.md

Thanks.

Re: [Sugar-devel] GSoC 2021 Ideas

[Jui Pradhan]

Hi,
We are yet to add Ideas-2021.md file.

- Given a change in the number of hours this year, any suggestions on
changes to last year's projects are welcome.

- It would be great if people who are familiar with recent work on
Sugarizer and Music Blocks could speak about the relevance of last year's
project ideas.

- My opinion on last year's projects for Sugar (accepted projects for GSoC
2020) :
`Improve and maintain Sugar Activities` is still relevant however the
number of activities can be reduced to 15 (we can discuss the number)
`Port Sugar and core activities to Python 3` I think this is still relevant
and does not require changes to last year's project.
`Debian advocacy for Sugar` we should definitely keep this as long as there
is someone willing to mentor.

Thanks

Re: [Sugar-devel] WANT TO CONTRIBUTE TO SUGAR LABS FOR GSOC 2021

[Jui Pradhan]

Hi,
I will try to list the few ways I use to test. Also whichever way you use,
I recommend mentioning it briefly in your commit messages.

Check the log files after changes. Log files contain tracebacks
- for activities see `~/.sugar/default/logs/activity_bundle_id.log`
- for sugar refer to the logs `~/.sugar/default/logs/shell.log`

- you may make changes to a source repository clone in /usr/src/sugar of
Sugar Live Build and then run autogen, "make", and "make install". However,
there are other things you need to take care of. Refer to:
https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/blob/master/docs/development-environment.md

Making changes to the Sugar Activities:
Before you make any changes to the source code it is imperative to know how
the activity works without these changes.
While testing lookout for:
- Your code does not make an unintentional change. By that I mean in the
process of solving one issue, you do not create another.
- Design tests and iterate until the tests have sufficient coverage for the
code changes.

As Srevin and James mentioned, there can be more to testing depending on
what part of code you are working on.
I hope our emails help.

Regards,
Jui

Re: [Sugar-devel] Contributing to Sugar activities in Python

[Jui Pradhan]

Hi,
Welcome to the Sugarlabs community!

About pre-requisites:

   - Please setup a development environment.
   - Have a look at Guide to contribute
   <https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-docs/blob/master/src/contributing.md>
   .
   - Any other documentation which you might need to get started can be
   found at: https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-docs

There are several Sugar activities written in Python which might need
porting from Python2 to Python3. Some might require bug fixes. We look
forward to your contributions.

Regards,
Jui

I'm not exactly sure how the age group makes a difference at the moment.
However, I don't think skipping the color selection screen is a good idea.
The XO-color you choose is used to distinguish players for the activities
which include collaboration.

Go to my Settings>Language to set the language preference. If a specific
activity does not have translations added for your preference one language,
it displays the text in your second language preference.
For the Keyboard: Settings>Keyboard you can choose your keyboard layouts
and add them using the `+` option. Make sure to restart your live build for
the changes to apply.

[Sugar-devel] GCI discontinued - backup plan

[Jui Pradhan]

Hi,
I'm aware that GCI has been discontinued and sugarlabs was a participating
organization before. Generally, it was around December and January.
I remember reading a mail about the discussion on "how we might continue
the concept without formal support".
Has anything been finalized yet? Also, I would be happy to help. Do let
me know.
Thanks.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Documentation update

[Jui Pradhan]

Thanks Shaan.
Well then I don't think there is any need to change the documentation at
this point. The section can be added after Debian 11 is released like James
suggested.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Documentation update

[Jui Pradhan]

Hi,
Thanks for your detailed reply.
Yes, I did intend to add a section `Debian 11 (Bullseye) that contains
Sugar 0.117`. In Addition to that, the section of pre-built images has a
link to Sugar 0.117 but mentions `0.112#Testing` hyperlink. I'm not sure if
that needs updating or was put there intentionally.

[Sugar-devel] Plan for August - GSoC Project

[Jui Pradhan]

I have worked on and released around 20 activities till now. So for August
what I planned on completing is this:

Complete work on my Open PRs and release these activities:

   - Jamath-activity #12
   <https://github.com/sugarlabs/jamath-activity/pull/12>
   - fifty-two-activity #5
   <https://github.com/sugarlabs/fifty-two-activity/pull/5>
   - PyCut #2 <https://github.com/sugarlabs/PyCut/pull/2>
   - wordcloud python3 version #4
   <https://github.com/sugarlabs/wordcloud/pull/4>
   - Bridge (Few issues blocking release) #26
   <https://github.com/sugarlabs/Bridge/pull/26>

Recently, with many things going on I couldn't test and review the PRs on
other activities. In the coming month I will review most of them and also
release activities with merged PRs.
Thanks. Hope this helps.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugar Dev Setup

[Jui Pradhan]

Great! :)

Similar question was asked on the sugar-devel mailing list before, you can
have a look:
http://sugarlabs.1511649.n2.nabble.com/Testing-Changes-td7613344.html

For sugar-activities, you can use ssh or make changes directly from within
sugar-desktop.
While making changes to Sugar Activities, place them in Sugar activity
 paths:

   - /usr/share/sugar/activities/
   - ~/Activities/

Save the activity as Name.activity. Here Name is generally the activity
name. Sometimes you may not be able to see it as a Sugar activity, in that
case you might consider restarting your Sugar Desktop.

Jui

Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugar Dev Setup

[Jui Pradhan]

Hi Rahul,
Thanks for reaching out!

Please go through these links for

   - How you can help:
   https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-docs/blob/master/src/how-can-i-help.md
   - How to Setup a Development environment :
   
https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/blob/master/docs/development-environment.md

You said that, *I learned from the Github/ReadMe
that sugar-artwork,  sugar-datastore, sugar-toolkit-gtk3 are the
dependencies for sugar. *You don't need to rebuild sugar from scratch, you
could just download the iso image and get it running.

Hope that helps.
Regards,
Jui

[Sugar-devel] Project Update

[Jui Pradhan]

Hi,
I have weekly meets with my mentor (Ibiam) regarding my weekly progress and
the issues I'm stuck on. We generally discuss my plan for the next week and
suggestions or improvements on my current work. Thanks for helping!
@Chihurumnaya
Ibiam 

My progress on the GSoC project - Maintain and release at least 25 Sugar
Activities:

   - Reversi activity: Fixed an issue, almost finished working on the PR.
   Will be releasing this activity next, once the current changes are approved.
   - PyCut activity:
   Done adapting to the display size. Need to figure out a way to use just
   the pygame API and the imports. PyCut is currently written in python2 and
   needs to be ported, along with updating sugargame to version = 1.3. I was
   thinking of releasing a python2 version before porting. Any suggestions are
   welcome.
   - Stick-hero-activity:
   Mostly finished working on the changes, needs reviewers and someone to
   test and confirm merge. There are substantial changes so I plan on
   releasing the last python2 version before porting (Release last python2
   version after srevin’s PR is merged and Saumya can continue port to python3)
   - CowBulls activity:
   Ported the activity to python3 along with other substantial fixes. Still
   needs work for fixing two other bugs. I'm not too sure how to proceed to
   fix them. Activity can be released after my PR is merged. It would be great
   if community members help test and review changes until now :)
   - Wordcloud: The last python2 version was released today. Mostly
   finished working on the PR that includes other fixes. James needs to
   confirm the merge for the python3 activity to be released. :)
   - Locosugar:
   Fixed the display resolution, commit cherry-picked in Saumya’s PR. Once
   Saumya’s PR is merged, activity can be released.
   - Paths:
   Updated, next to be finished working on. The PR involves substantial
   changes but the collaboration part is yet to be fixed.

I found many sugar activities which have hard coded coordinates. The fix is
easy, but understanding the way the coordinates are determined is
time-consuming. I think it is really important that such activities need to
be fixed for it to work properly on different screen resolutions. After
fixing more such activities, I was wondering if writing a sugar-doc to fix
such display resolution related issues will be helpful.
Besides, I also came across many activities which are written in Spanish. I
think changing the variable names to English will be very helpful for
future maintenance. Do let me know what you think :)

Any suggestions regarding the activities I should work on are welcome!
Thanks,

Regards,
Jui Pradhan

[Sugar-devel] Community Bonding Period

[Jui Pradhan]

Hi,
My Project is - Maintain and release atleast 25 Sugar Activities. I had a
good time coordinating with my mentor and attending the scheduled meets.

My progress on the project includes my work on activities - iknowmyabcs,
bridge, jumble, sugarchess, recall, nutrition, Analyze Journal, Pukllanapac
and few changes to sugargame. You can see my merged commits here
<https://github.com/search?q=is%3Apr+author%3AJuiP+org%3Asugarlabs=Commits>
.

In the coming week I have planned to work on those activities which have
incomplete / pending Pull requests. I haven't specifically narrowed down
the ones I will be working on. Moreover, I will be testing the activities
Saumya will be porting to python 3 and make necessary changes for the
activity to be released. :)

Any suggestion or feedback is welcome.
Thankyou.

Regards,
Jui Pradhan

[Sugar-devel] Meeting with mentor

[Jui Pradhan]

Hi,
I had a meet with my mentor (Ibiam) at 8:30 pm IST on 23rd May. We
discussed about my current open PRs

   - Wordcloud and the copy button.
   - Paths and the implementation of collab wrapper. We talked about
   testing differences for collaboration. Since the game state is not shared
   for Ibiam we decided that I will be sharing a video of my collaboration
   test for Paths activity.
   - Implementation of Collaboration in general using collabwrapper. Ibiam
   suggested I have a look at the collaboration fix work in Dimensions
   activity.
   - How does write_file and read_file work while saving and resuming
   activity from the journal.

Thanks.

[Sugar-devel] Weekly Progress (Release and maintain atleast 25 Sugar Activities)

[Jui Pradhan]

Hi everyone,

Till now I have been completing my previous work on activities which
include : Recall, AnalyzeJournal, Bridge and Jumble. I also added
translations for hi and mr in iknowSriLanka activity and reviewed the PR. I
was also on the call with James, shaan and Saumya on 11th May.

*Recall* we decided to remove collaboration for this release so I rebased
my branch on top of James' changes and removed few more commits to complete
my PR. With this merged I finished porting the activity to python3 along
with other necessary changes. I would be updating the NEWS file and make a
release soon.

For my work on *Analyze Journal*, I fixed most of the warnings and added a
new line chart feature to the activity. I also fixed the object Chooser
issue. My work is mostly complete with just final code reviewing and merge
left.

For *Bridge activity*, it does not save data to journal. So adding code to
save and resume from Journal was a little time consuming. Srevin helped me
proceed. Next, I will be completing my open PR which also adds a sugar
toolbar along with saving data to journal. Previously, my work on Bridge
involved port to python3 and extending support for all screen sizes. There
were few other feature additions like handling creation of new train and
dealing with zero costs.

I also tested wordcloud and hit the balls. Found some issues I will be
fixing before releasing the activities. I also plan to test the activities
Saumya has been working on recently which include - Frotz, vncLauncher,
solar-system and showntell-activity and infoslicer. Once her work on
porting to python3 is completed, I plan to begin testing and fixing any
issues before the next release on these activities.

Regards,
Jui Pradhan

[Sugar-devel] Meeting summary and activity suggestions

[Jui Pradhan]

Hi,
Congratulations to all students whose GSoC proposals got accepted! :)

I had a meet with my mentor today (8th May)
We discussed the project and what I will be working on in the next few
days. Here is a summary:

   - I will be completing my open pull requests first which include
   activities- Bridge, Recall, Paths, Jumble and analyze journal.
   - Briefly discussed the collaboration in activities.
   - We also discussed about the activities I think had major changes and
   need to be released. Activities like : hit-the-balls activity, follow me,
   nutrition, word cloud, etc. I will be testing these set of activities next
   and fixing bugs or adding the necessary features before release.
   - Moreover, we talked about the selection of 10 more activities to be
   worked on. For my GSoC project, I proposed to work on activities which have
   a high pedagogical value.
   - Inaddition to that, we decided to have weekly meets to discuss
   progress and the project plan.

I'm willing to lookup the activities which need to be maintained or
released soon. Do reply to this mail if you have suggestions for the
activities I should work on.

Jui Pradhan

Re: [Sugar-devel] Proposal Review request

[Jui Pradhan]

Hi Saumya,
  Just went through your final proposal (opened the doc
link). Saw you added my bulleted method of porting activities to Python 3 ;
observing closely related codebase of other activities, the right fit table
and more points I mentioned in my draft proposal. I feel delighted to know
that I have inspired you greatly! :)
But I just hope having the same points in our proposal, in no way affects
the proposal reviewing by mentors.

Regards,
Jui Pradhan

[Sugar-devel] Debian Advocacy for sugar

[Jui Pradhan]

Hello,
I have previously contributed to sugarlabs and also have the required
prerequisites for the project ideas-
Maintain 25 Activities
Port to python 3
Debian Advocacy for sugar. I would share my draft proposals shortly.

This is regarding the third project idea, Debian Advocacy for sugar,
On the Sugar-devel mailing list, I went through the threads which had a
discussion regarding this idea. (
http://sugarlabs.1511649.n2.nabble.com/Contributing-through-GSOC-td7613238.html
 )
However, the kind of work and contribution that is expected out of this
project is a little blurry. I am not quite sure how I can contribute; any
information regarding the sugar-packaging process, the issues,
contributions and the project idea will be of great help. Are there
resources or sugar-docs which might help? (I have already seen the ones in
sugar/docs on GitHub). Kindly, guide me to begin contributing to the
project in the right direction, with right resources.

Thank you.

Jui Pradhan

Re: [Sugar-devel] Run Sugar activity

[Jui Pradhan]

Hello,
Sorry for the late reply. Regarding the icons stuck in the journal, back
then I didn't know what exactly to look for in the logs so I kept it for
later. I remember the icons getting stuck over the journal by just dragging
them over other icons. Infact, just to make the two videos, I reproduced it
more than thrice. However, now that I tried, I could not reproduce the
state. Replying, just so you may close the thread.

Thanks

Regards,
Jui Pradhan

[Sugar-devel] AmazonasTortuga

[Jui Pradhan]

Hello,
I was trying to work on Amazonas Tortuga. Porting the activity to gtk3.
Almost half way there, I realized it seems to have files from TurtleArt
activity which has already been ported to Gtk3 and python3. Porting files
from the folder TurtleArt seems to be a repetetive task. However, among the
many folders and files in AmazonasTortuga I am not able to find files which
are not a part of TurtleArt activity and need work.
I guess the situation will be no different for other activities which use
TurtleArt activity. Haven't really looked them up yet.
Can someone who has previously worked on the activities brief me?It would
really save a lot of effort.
Thanks.

Jui Pradhan

[Sugar-devel] Testing Changes

[Jui Pradhan]

Hello,

If I make changes to the sugar gtk repository, how should I test sugar with
changed configurations? Should I use a virtual Machine for testing? On a
ubuntu VM install all dependencies, especially sugar-artwork,
sugar-datastore, and sugar-toolkit-gtk3.
and then clone the repository, run autogen.sh, then make and make install.
Or is there any other way of doing this?

Or is it alright if I directly change just the part of the code in my
working sugar desktop.
I found the path of files- /usr/src/sugar

Thanks.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Issue in Installation of Sugar-live-build

[Jui Pradhan]

Hi,
I faced a similar issue before. However, you can get sugar-live-build
working on a virtual machine. Get it working by directly downloading the
.iso file, no need to rebuild it on your own. (please correct me if I am
wrong)
Maybe this might help -

Re: [Sugar-devel] Run Sugar activity

[Jui Pradhan]

Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
Actually I got the activity running on my sugar desktop. In my previous
mail I had attached a video which might be a possible bug, could you please
tell me what might have caused it?

Re: [Sugar-devel] Run Sugar activity

[Jui Pradhan]

Thanks for replying,

-Regarding the translations I added a few translations to the Analyze
Activity. I havent really tried applying any translate.sugarlabs.org changes
using the download script locally yet. However, kindly tell me if you have
any suggestions or steps which you think might help or tips on solving the
most likely problems that I might face.
- Thanks for helping with getting the activity running for testing version
changes. :)
- If I make any progress in fixing the disappearing status icons on bottom
right of the frame (issue in my first video) I will comment on github issue
or use the mailing list. Currently looking for possible reasons that might
have caused this error. :)
- Regarding the second bug, its not just the terminal icon that gets stuck
on top of the journal, however all icons can possibly get stuck. I have a
video of the actions leading up to this. Link to the video:
