Re: [Sugar-devel] FYI, Tincho blog

[James Cameron]

Good progress, thanks.

Our critical problem _now_ is lack of people doing activity
maintenance.

My opinion is that both Flatpak and Snaps seem fragile, bulky, and
difficult to maintain.  It would add more build metadata to activity
sources, which would then bitrot.  We've already faced that with
ASLOv1, ASLOv2, View Source, Social Help, AppStream, and ASLOv3.

I don't mind if someone else does it, but I'd like to understand the
impact on the sources.  Based on https://github.com/tchx84/sugarapp
the impact is another dependency, which could be built-in to the
activities.

I don't think the Sugar activity user experience will be acceptable to
the average desktop user, so Martin's work on changing the experience
is critical.

Some have mentioned the opportunity to involve GCI students, but GCI
should not influence our architectural decisions, rather it should be
the other way around.  A potential student on IRC agreed "I wouldn't
do that task with a 10 foot long pole tbh, I think gci should be left
to fixing well defined tasks"

I've also done some design work on replacing Telepathy entirely with
multicast UDP and unicast TCP, but I'm not ready to publish.  This
could allow Flatpak apps to collaborate.  The Level activity contains
a prototype which shortens the time to collaborate from about seven
seconds to nearly zero.

Re: [Sugar-devel] [IAEP] From OLPC XO To Positivo: Rwanda Sets The Bar Higher

[Samson Goddy]

Hi Alex,

I think the best thing is to physically go to Rwanda, which I think can be
of great value to Sugar Labs. I have been talking to some folks that
support Rwanda and of recent Mariana Ludmila. We have no idea how they use
Sugar, improving Sugar based on feedbacks from deployment like Rwanda will
be worth investing in.

It something I raised with Walter, like planning TA day as a way to get
access to these teachers and users. Maybe Tony can give us more details.

Sugar Labs should be paying attention to deployments.


My thoughts.

It would be good and helpful to attempt to make contact with anyone 
within Rwanda that is using Sugar on Positivos, official or otherwise, 
but also anyone who is involved with the official distribution of 
Positivos within Rwanda. Can you help us on this front, Samson?

Four teams supporting  a school in one of the provinces and

Is there a translation team we could tap into?

As far as bridging the two worlds, some of our apps could be gateways,

Hello Thomas,

I am actually working on packaging sugar apps with flatpak, and publushing
them in Flathub. See
https://blogs.gnome.org/tchx84/2019/11/22/linux-app-summit-2019-and-sugar-learning-tools/

The work goes beyond just packaging, but also doing some porting so the
experience is properly integrated into the desktop paradigm.

I still just getting started, but I am getting ready to have some GCI tasks
as well.

It's not me. I'm not interested by this product for Sugarizer.
We've introduced ESLint on Sugarizer Server side during GSoC this year,
I've not planned to go further at the moment.

Re: [Sugar-devel] [IAEP] From OLPC XO To Positivo: Rwanda Sets The Bar Higher

[Tony Anderson]

The current school year in Rwanda is just ending and the new year starts 
January 6. The Positivos have been distributed to GS (Groupe Scolaire) 
schools which are public with grades from entry to S3 (9th grade).


The ICT Curriculum is based on Windows - with some planned expansion to 
include mobile techniques. The Positivos are distributed with Windows 10 
installed.  Neither the Positivos or XOs currently include touch screen 
technology.


Note: as far as I know, Rwanda is the largest still active XO 
deployment. The need is to find a bridge between the student's three 
years of primary school XO experience and their further ICT 
instruction.The Positivo hard drive is large enough to support an 
Ubuntu/Sugar install alongside.. Some teachers are making this install 
on their own initiative. The article hints that Rwanda may take official 
advantage of this opportunity.


I am currently in Rwanda working with Care 4 Kids, a German philanthropy 
supporting the use of the XO. Care 4 Kids provides interns - local A 
Level graduates in ICT to selected schools. In 2019 these interns 
supported five GS schools in Kigali province (XO ICT enrollment in the 
thousands). In 2020, there will be five two-person teams of interns. 
Four teams supporting  a school in one of the provinces and working with 
teachers from five surrounding schools. The Kigali team will continue to 
support the five 2019 schools. Their support provided in the native 
language has proven effective and popular.

Thanks Samson.

For Sugar Labs, the most important part is "the machines will have the
same modules (interface) for children lesson," so there's an
opportunity for Sugar Labs to remain involved.

I don't know what operating system REB are using, but OLPC OS 18.04.0
based on Ubuntu 18.04.2 and Sugar will likely work straight away on
PC-compatible laptops, and can be customised and rebuilt.  Our OLPC
servers do see update requests from countries were we have not
distributed our PC-compatible laptops, which is cool.
