You'll get /etc/olpc-release on any hardware running that operating
system build. At least /etc/olpc-release is also available in 802.
It seems adequate.

I don't know when it began to be available, but there are several OpenFirmware filesystem entries that can be read by an activity; they contain text without terminating line break. - /ofw/architecture contains OLPC, - /ofw/model contains B1, B2, B3, B4, C2 for the XO-1, and D1 onwards for the XO-1.5, - /ofw/banner-name contains /ofw/architecture, a blank space, then /ofw/model.

[Sugar-devel] Fw: SoaS font scaling issue
Sorry, communication with my website is acting up.
To look at my entire OurMusic.activity (.xo), download the link, but add the
gtk.rc_parse line (below) anywhere near the beginning of ourmusic.py. (I.e.,
do it with and without; activity text-size will not change.)

Re: [Sugar-devel] SoaS font scaling issue
Here is the issue:
All text passes through the code below, which uses pango only - no reference
to default font-size. It nicely sizes text to fit appropriately on all
(landscape) screens.
def scale_font(self, widget):
if not os.path.exists("/sys/power/olpc-pm"):
font = widget.get_pango_context().get_font_description()
width = gtk.gdk.screen_width()
size = (width * .00067)
if (os.path.exists("/etc/fedora-release")):
if not open("/etc/fedora-release").read().find("Strawberry")
== -1:
size = (width * .00105)
font.set_size(int(font.get_size() * pango.SCALE_LARGE * size))
widget.modify_font(font)
To test whether with changed default font-size, my text will comparably
resize, I insert the following line near the beginning of my activity:
gtk.rc_parse_string(''' style "default" { font_name = "Sans 30" } ''')
This makes the menu-bar text nice and big, but leaves my activity text
unchanged. I want the activity text to change as well. (I'm also currently
looking to vary the default font-size by working with GConf - so far
unsuccessfully.)
An .xo bundle of the activity with these features is available at
http://www.arthunkins.com/OurMusic-2.xo. The added rc_parse line is near the
beginning of ourmusic.py - commented out. Try with and without (activity
text remains the same).
The scale_font routine is toward the beginning of csndsugui.py.
Thanks so much for your suggestions.

Re: [Sugar-devel] GConf
Thanks, Walter. I see it now.
I note that whereas ~/.gconf doesn't have a %gconf.xml file, all the several
layers of subdirectories do. However, all are empty except two, and they
have nothing to do with fonts.
Can you suggest which %gconf.xml to manually add a (temporary) entry to, for
font-testing purposes? (I.e., to set a font size other than 10.) Also, the
format for that code?
I've tried the "normal" method for specifying font size ("gtk-font-name" and
gtk.Settings). This results in varied size menu-bar text, but no change in
my Pango-based text size. My conclusion: either this old method is
deprecated, or I haven't yet found the proper mechanism to connect
Pango-based font sizing with system defaults.
I'm lost, and would appreciate further guidance from you experts.

[Sugar-devel] Sugar Digest 2009-12-22
=== Sugar Digest === 1. Tomeu Vizoso blogged [http://blog.tomeuvizoso.net/] about his trip to Uruguay. He attended the First International Event on Experiences about the Ceibal Plan [http://www.ceibal09.com.uy/]. As well he spent time at LATU [http://www.latu.org.uy/] (Laboratorio Tecnológico del Uruguay), the organization managing the technical aspects of the Sugar/OLPC deployment in Uruguay. While it was a great opportunity for Tomeu to see Sugar in action and meet local teachers and technologists, perhaps the most important aspect of the trip was that he had the opportunity to lead the .uy community closer to the mainline Sugar community. "The concrete issue they found when developing on their own was that every time that their upstream (OLPC) produced a new image build, in order to benefit from the improvements in that release they had to apply the customizations made locally, solve any conflicts and retest everything. If they had contributed those modifications to Sugar, OLPC images would have come with them and no further work would be needed. Reaching the point in which they can directly use the OLPC images as-is is still a bit far away, but every bit that they integrate upstream is a step in the right direction and reduces their development and support costs. Also, when their employees work within the communities that maintain their software, they work directly with the most qualified engineers in those technologies, increasing local capacity." You can read first-hand reports from Uruguay here [http://olpc-ceibal.blogspot.com/]. 2. John Markoff of the ''New York Times'' wrote about a new book by Jim Gray, ''A Deluge of Data Shapes a New Era in Computing'' [http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/15/science/15books.html]. According to Markoff, Gray, who works for Microsoft, describes an "era in which an “exaflood” of observational data was threatening to overwhelm scientists. The only way to cope with it, he argued, was a new generation of scientific computing tools to manage, visualize and analyze the data flood." He argues for government support for "cheaper clusters of computers to manage and process all this[sic] data." The goal is "to have a world in which all of the science literature is online, all of the science data is online, and they interoperate with each other." Alas, there is no mention of Free Software in the article. It is not clear to me how a proprietary system would solve any of the problems Gray is describing. Sigh. 3. I have been working through a number of logistical and administrative issues with the Software Freedom Conservancy with the goal of streamlining our interactions with them. (Like Sugar Labs, they are a volunteer organization—the extent to which we can smooth out any mismatches in expectation or practice will well serve both organizations. While we benefit from the numerous services provided by the conservancy, we are also under an obligation to abide by its mission--promoting FOSS projects--and work within its administrative structure. With input from Karen and Bradley, I've written up some administrative procedures for handling transactions [http://wiki.suagrlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Governance/Transactions] regarding requests for payment, project proposal approvals, and license requests in the wiki.

Not sure about through an emulator but you can use any standard camera that is supported by video 4 linux 2. For example you could install the Fedora 12 with the sugar desktop environment on any device with a supported camera for testing your app, or even use a Sugar on a Stick LiveCD on a device for testing.
