[IAEP] laboratoriosazucar.org domain renewal ($)

Hi, We've had *laboratoriosazucar.org* for a couple of years but haven't used it. At the time of registration the idea was to unify latinamerican local labs efforts under it. It is controlled by sugarlabs DNS domain servers and at the disposition of the Sugar Labs community. It expired

[IAEP] Allow running Sugar Activities outside Sugar

Hi friends, I've been wishing to be able to nicely run Activities from a regular desktop for a while. So I patched sugar-toolkit-gtk3 to allow for this (patch at https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-toolkit-gtk3/pull/315 ) The patch allows to run Activities by using the sugar-activity script.

Hi Alsroot, I hope you are doing well. While doing some gardening of Sugar Network, I was longing to make another effort towards going beyond it. So I came looking for this "School Network" project that you shared but I can't find it. How did it go, did you get more feedback? The website is down.
