I'd like that too, but it won't happen. The market forces that drive
the computer business still favor proprietary thinking, notwithstanding

And I've updated the easy-usb-install page:
stable: build 711
latest: Joyride 2364
*test*: 8.2-75
What do we need to do to get packages on the stable 8.2 branch?
Thanks.

Hi Morgan,
This is some great feedback and indicates that we (OLPC/Sugar) have
both an interest in and a duty to more actively engage activity
developers and provide them with the resources to properly create and
maintain their activities.

Jim, your explanation makes sense. Good to know what the future

Q2e15 is up. If you are running current joyride(s) and doing
auto-suspend/resume you need to upgrade.

i can't resist pointing out that we could probably do that with
linux too, if we weren't committed to using an off-the-shelf desktop
distribution.
Dev.laptop.org was unavailable from 03:15 to 06:40 due to a network
misconfiguration.
It had been up for almost exactly half a year.

Dev.laptop.org went down at 03:14 this morning. The reason was I edited the
network config of dev when I meant to be editing its mirror, owl in another
window, and then rebooted it when I meant to reboot owl.
This means that pootle, trac and git are unavailable at present.
I will bring it back up
dev.laptop.org is down or unreachable - could it be related to this
MIT planned outage?
