Welcome to the Sugar on the BeagleBoard project. It seems that we have all of the pieces in place to do a port. First, some background. The initial port will be getting Sugar[1] to run on the Beagleboard[2] using the Open Embedded[3] toolkit. For a collaboration point, Jason has set up the

[sugar] Release Cycle - Responsibilities

2008-08-15 Thread David Farning

[sugar] Release Cycle

2008-08-14 Thread David Farning
