[ANNOUNCE] Sugar Labs Licensing Referendum (non-binding) results

2011-07-10 Thread Luke Faraone

Sorry for the late update; the reporting mechanism for our voting
software temporarily broke.

Summary: the winner was **GNU GPL version 3, or any later version**.

## Results Details ##

55 out of 217 eligible members voted, or a little more than ¼.

The full results of this election ranked the candidates in order of
preference (from most preferred to least preferred):

 1. GNU GPL version 3, or any later version
 2. GNU GPL version 2, or any later version
 3. Don't know or don't care


Each number in the table below shows how many times the candidate on the
left beat the matching candidate on the top. The winner is on the top of
the left column.
v3  v2  DC
v3  --  34  37
v2  21  --  42
DC  18  13  --

Based on a sheer count of 1st place votes, v3 received 49% of the vote,
v2 received 29% of the vote, and the apathetic position received the
remaining 22% of the vote.

Full details (and alternative election method calculations) are visible
at the Selectricity page linked in the original voting ticket email.

Perhaps you left the activities open, rather than closing them? I don't
think having journal entries should slow down Sugar that much.

Disk space: the RPM page is 18.7MiB, so I'd imagine it takes up a little

Probably proportional to the processors of each.

Memory would only matter if Skype tried to use more than available.

You need to have sufficient disk space.

It should be accessible from the Applications menu.

That's consistent with my experience of Skype on Linux, I'd imagine it

The instructions provided are run on your XO.

Hah, it has been ages since I wrote the video instructions. Those are
*definitely* out of date, and I would be very surprised if they worked.

Licensing of Firefox.activity

2010-08-27 Thread Luke Faraone
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA256

Hi all,

I'm looking into packaging Firefox-6 for Debian and Ubuntu, and wasn't
clear on the package's license situation.

The application was written by C. Scott in 2008, while (IIRC) he was
still at OLPC. Therefore, I'm assuming that the work is © 2008 One
Laptop per Child.

Is this accurate? If so, is the package under the GPL?

For locked laptops you would *need* to get a developer key, or have OLPC

No offense to VMware, VirtualBox (OSE) is free as in freedom on

This is more of a religious war as well as a matter of preference; RH has
chosen the "Linux" branding, while Debian (the only widely popular distro to
do so) uses the "GNU/" prefix.

I'd rather not make that assumption. Some schools may not have a _local_
school server (even dispite our best wishes) or a student may want to access
the server from a non-local connection. The XS, IMHO, should support the

   - Have a script that pulls from a designated git branch every X hours
