Since SoaS is now a Fedora Spin, we also get a shiny Fedora Spin webpage, courtesy of the Fedora Marketing, Design, and Websites teams: http://spins.fedoraproject.org/soas/
Not all the wiki/other links pointed-to from this spin page are fully built up (for instance, our openhatch link needs more work), but there's time to do that before the release date of 5/18, and we needed to get this specific website itself up today (Fedora's freeze date). Thanks to Sean Daly for graciously stepping in with last-minute patches to the content on very short notice! You can see Sean's changes here: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=fedora-web.git;a=commitdiff;h=5812da649b6c132b43b51b72f09c56dff236076b There were two changes requested that I did /not/ make, and wanted to note here for transparency (and also pushback, so that people can tell me if they think I'm wrong in doing so. :) * I left the age range from grades K-8 (requested: K-6) because of positive feedback from middle school teachers, and also because of the project's history of targeting a broader range (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Our_market#Child_is_a_nebulous_term.3B_what_is_the_exact_age_range_you_are_targeting.3F). * I love this paragraph, but I haven't seen tests run with Sugar on a Stick and the XS - and until we have that, I'm hesitant to put that in: "In a classroom setting, this automatic saving to each pupil's stick can also be backed up to a school server, solving any lost stick problems. The XS School Server (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/School_server), also based on Fedora, can provide content distribution, homework collection, Moodle integration (http://docs.moodle.org/en/OLPC_XS_installation), and filtered access to the Internet." You may also notice that the webpage does not contain the SL logo, because we generally do not use trademarks in our Fedora Spin webpages, since everything we put out needs to be freely redistributable and we don't want to dilute anyone's mark. Instead, it features a banner created by Melanie Kim, adapted from a banner by Mo Duffy made with artwork by Maria Leandro, all contributors from Fedora Design. In general, enjoy the shiny and please shoot comments and feedback and such this-a-way. ;) --Mel (wearing my Fedora Marketing hat in this email as well as my Sugar Labs one) _______________________________________________ SoaS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas
