Hi, Recently I've been trying to load SoaS ( http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/1/Soas1-200903232259.iso) onto a Classmate-2 laptop that we have here at my work. Following the instructions on the wiki (Sugar on a Stick/Installation) using using live iso to disk script, I created the USB

Hi, Is it this problem? http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/421 How much of the boot do you get through? If so I have some questions that might help us gather data. 1. Did you burn your stick on windows or linux? 2. FAT or FAT32 format. And actually we know that in your case. 4GB can only be

Hi all, has a decision been made regarding the date of this meetup? Especially for those from the other side of the Atlantic it would be useful to get a finalized date as soon as possible (preferably this week), but even for myself it's getting hard to keep the relevant timeslots open.

Actually I was communicating with Lionel Laské of the OLPC France association, at their April 1st meeting they decided to rename their ContentCamp to SugarCamp and they have obtained funding for a meeting room in Paris on May 16th. I was wondering, if the plans aren't finalized, could we consider

Remaining question is whether the info here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Content_bundles is still correct about media types. I want a bundle containing epub files, which is outside the types listed, but which Sayamindu's fbreader supports. Is it ok to have a content bundle with this media type?

I will make a leap and say that page is now out of data. As long as fbreader is available for download and the content bundle notes that additional software is needed to use the content you will be ok. Just a heads up that you will be the first user to upload content bundles so be prepared to

[IAEP] Sugar Labs Budget.

Last week, I set the rather abstract goal of raising $100,000US for Sugar Labs. $100,000 seems like a reasonable number for a project in its second year. Last year, Sugar Labs proved that it could get a surprisingly large amount of development accomplished with very little money. As for direct
