Hi,
two major changes have recently occurred in Sugar's underlying
technologies. Firstly, GTK+ 2 has been obsoleted by GTK+ 3, and GNOME is
now based on GTK+ 3. Secondly, PyGTK, the underlying Python library that
Sugar uses to call into GTK+, has been deprecated in favor of PyGObject
Introspection (hereafter "PyGI"). More background info can be found at
Features/GTK3 [1]. Goal of this hackfest is to remove the biggest
blockers before we can start the porting and potentially start porting
over.
== Sponsoring regional trips ==
This Hackfest is sponsored by the OLPC Foundation. If you need help for
funding your travel, please send an email to simon AT laptop DOT org
before the 8th of October 2011. OLPCF won't be able to refund more than
150 USD per trip, and we will fund regional (european) travels in
priority [2].
Regards,
Simon
