If you read the wikipage, I failed at the "easier to deploy" ;-)

But we have a clear set of steps, and a bit of work on the existing
rpms can prolly simplify things considerably.

Ok - have a read of
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Antitheft:Public_Server#Usage_and_maintenance

With the following caveats:

 - it is complicated -- I plan to simplify the process but for now,
it's what I have.

 - for new deployments I am trying to get my head around Inventario
(developed by ParaguayEduca) to see if we can automate / integrate
between Inventario, the "MSS" [1] and the Antitheft Public Server.

[1] - "Master Signing Server" as per http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Antitheft_HowTo

The answer to your "technicians that need to make leases" is the
"rescue lease" mentioned towards the end.

cheers,

AGENDA:

* XO-1.5 early production machines now available:
 
http://blog.laptop.org/2010/02/25/xo-1-5-early-production-laptops-free-to-contributors-worldwide/


* Fast Review of the 6 latest (greatest!) HW/Project Proposals -- please
 join us advocating for, and/or reviewing shortcomings of these proposals:

1. XO-1.5 for activities for development and testing - Thailand
2. XO-1.5 application and 2 Serials Adapters - Tuebingen, Germany
3. XO-1.5 & XO-1's for SocialCalc, Newspaper Activity, Listen and 
Spell, Deducto, Color Deducto, Video Editor, Video Chat - New Delhi, 
India AND Uruguay; South Africa; Canada; Paraguay; Sri Lanka

4. XO-1.5 for for Jolicloud by Krim International - Paris, France

  This was the game i had developed in 2007 so i want to develope similar
  academic activities for XO.

  Requests 2 XO-1.5's and 2 Serial Adapters over undetermined months

  Project Objectives:
  Add version support to the Sugar data store. Since data store
  performance directly impacts user experience, direct testing on the
  XO-1.5 with the built-in MicroSD card (=> slow write performance [5]
  in general, potentially write amplification effect) would be very
  useful.

  Additionally I'm -- as Bernie Innocenti phrased it --
  "hacking all over the place", including kernel and hardware work. My
  offer to diagnose & repair XOs (keeping in mind that I don't have
  advanced equipment like a scope - got everything list for the
  Repair Center Kit [21], though) still holds as well.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Problem importing hulahop.webview() in sugar emulator

2010-02-26 Thread vijit singh 
Hello Tomeu,

Thank You once again for your guidance. Surely I will keep on posting the
updates. I was also confused about the use of the statement-

*hulahop.startup(os.path.join(env.get_profile_path(), 'gecko'))*
*
*
What is the significance of hulahop.startup? It surely seems to be imp.
since the absence of this line results into an error.

Also, gecko folder seems to be containing paths to different xulrunner
files. Does including the same gecko folder (as is used in sugar) into the
socialcalc package which we will make for fedora, and referring to this
folder through the hulahop.startup statement work on fedora as well?  Kindly
give some pointers.

Regards,
VIJIT
