Yes. I also sent Ian a copy of https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-docs/blob/master/src/sugar-labs-developer-howto.txt > > Was it made clear in the email to the sysadmin@ alias that an > account wasn't just requested, but would be required for work with > sugarlabs to qualify for the course? It was the same text. It looks like normal preparatory work made complicated by our sprawling web presence. I know what that's like, I see it in other institutions. -- James Cameron https://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

This goes to my main point: I suspect a) the requirements Ian faces might be satisfied by making commits and successful pull requests and b) Ian might be better served by looking at, eg, the information provided under "Join Us" rather than whatever led us to talking about account creation. Was it made clear in the email to the sysadmin@ alias that an account wasn't just requested, but would be required for work with sugarlabs to qualify for the course? ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

We also got a request via the sysadmin@ alias, but as the request was made public on the mailing list I felt it was better to respond on the mailing list. https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Service/Account is probably where Ian's "service account" comes from. It's an easy mistake to make; assuming a Wiki page title is well understood across the sprawling web presence. The account types could be Wiki, Shell, or Mail. (At the moment, people need shell accounts to publish Python 3 activity releases to v4.activities.sugarlabs.org. We could set up accounts with preloaded commands in authorized_keys to do this, eventually. But for the moment I've been avoiding creating accounts and doing the releases myself. Ian hasn't made any commits to activities yet, so I didn't think it likely he wanted a shell account.) > > -- > D.

How can we > get one? Hi, When you say "the website" could you be more specific? Sugar has a rather sprawling web presence some of which is more currently maintained than other parts. For instance, on what I consider the "main" page, https://www.sugarlabs.org a search reveals no instances of the word "sponsor" at all. I'd suggest, if you're truly open to offering any of a variety of contributions that you take a look at the Join Us section from the top of that page and see if something there might be helpful. Looking through each page available from that menu I also did not find mention of sponsors. I don't doubt that there is mention of them somewhere (eg, accounts on sugarlabs machines to which James refers) but it's not clear to me why you'd drill all the way down to asking after that. -- D.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugar Sponsor
Welcome. You can contribute individually and as a group in many ways, through GitHub accounts. We have split Sugar Labs accounts now into multiple services. What specifically do you need a Sugar Labs account for, and what service do you need access to?
