Sugar 0.96 has been officially released. You can read all about it at [1]. 2. Guzmán Trinidad has posted some great videos of various physics investigations on the XO (See [2]). 3. EduJAM! presented awards for the best Sugar activities [3]. Although they were not singled out in any special way, the youth of Uruguay managed to walk away with six of the prizes. Congratulations to Christofer, Agustin, Daniel, et al. for your contributions. A tip of the hat to the adult contributors too: Flavio, Gabriel, Alan, Andres, and Alejandro. By my rough estimate, approximately 10% of all Sugar activities have been written by kids who grew up on Sugar. It would interesting to understand the phenomenon. But we must be doing something right. I did learn that Christofer has been in an on-going dialog with Rosamel Ramirez, a teacher in Duranzo about his activity development. Their latest collaboration is JAMuliples [4]. Good stuff. 4. Some of you may be following the discussion about "New Co." on the iaep list [5] and [6]. To summarize, we are exploring alternative structures for Sugar Labs, which may well involve the creation of a new organization -- to augment our FOSS development efforts housed at the SFC -- to support the auxillary operations involved with supporting the code in the field. I solicited feedback on the specific goals for a New Co. Aleksey Lim reminded us that our stated mission as a community is much broader than just software development [7]: we want our software to be used and we want to have a positive influence of other people writing learning software. We came together as a community because we share certain principles about learning and we want to help people to "embody these principals 'in the field'." In trying to answer my specific question, Aleksey said: the "new organization should provide practices and procedures how to setup local deployment program in most useful way." and the "new organization should provide a way to forward funding... to particular program[s] and provide everything to make this funding open/clear for donators and easy handled by local deployment people." Finally, he posited that perhaps the "new organization will be a guarantee for institutions where local deployment happens (schools, etc.) to make them assured that even after finishing the program, there will be a way to get some help." Martin Langhoff raised some important points as well: "The _top priority_ should be to get stuff done with your own means...", that "the good name of SL is a precious asset based on work from a global effort", but we should "let each group do their own thing. It's their name, their reputation on the line." We'll be continuing the discuss at next week's Sugar Labs oversight board (SLOB) meeting. Please join us. 5. On a personal note, my heart goes out to Marco Presenti Gritti, who posted on his blog [8] this week that he has cancer. For those of you who do not know him, Marco was part of the team that created Sugar and was at my side when we created Sugar Labs. Marco: know that there are many people thinking of you. === Sugar Labs === Visit our planet [9] for more updates about Sugar and Sugar deployments. -walter </pre> Walter Bender 2012-05-24T21:42:44 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.laptop.olpc.sugar/35918 <pre>Activity Homepage: http://activities.sugarlabs.org/addon/4576 Sugar Platform: 0.82 - 0.96 Download Now: http://activities.sugarlabs.org/downloads/file/28069/locosugar-3.xo Release notes: 3 ENHANCEMENT: * New artwork for Game 4 BUG FIX: * Falling back to gst-launcher-10 on non-Fedora systems Sugar Labs Activities http://activities.sugarlabs.org </pre> Sugar Labs Activities 2012-05-24T19:51:51 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.laptop.olpc.sugar/35916 <pre> Hi, I'm testing in my XO 1.0 the build 12.1 (Sugar 0.96.1) I connect a pendrive and it is mounted on: /run/media/olpc Why?

This patch fixes it. For example, when the user downloads a file from Internet only 'keep' is set to '0' but not 'share-scope'. A similar situation happens when a file is openen with write from a pen-drive: neither 'keep' nor 'share-scope' are set for the activity.

So I asked him to test OLPC-OS 12.1.0 build 11 and report any problems he ran into. New users can offer a fresh perspective on things that we give for granted. Some of the items below could be turned into trac tickets or wishlist items (provide a way to kill activities, provide a way to wipe the user profile, make more activities work in tablet mode...). If you need more information from the reporter, feel free to contact him directly at diegolino&lt; at &gt;google.com. -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Diego Puppin &lt;diegolino&lt; at &gt;google.com&gt; To: Bernie Innocenti &lt;codewiz&lt; at &gt;google.com&gt; Subject: primo bug report Date: Wed, 23 May 2012 15:24:02 -0400 My older kid (7yr) and I had a lot of fun last with the OLPC. We played maze, we took pictures and more. The younger kid (15mo) seemed confused by the lack of a touch screen :-) - I can't find a way to connect to a network with hidden SSID. I tried to add my network using Gnome, but I couldn't find a "Connect" button there. Back to Sugar, the hidden network is still hidden. - The audio/video system seems unreliable. "Record" takes a long time to start. When I try to record (audio or video) the success rate is around 30% - the activity gets stuck. I can leave the activity but it keeps running in the background (green leds for camera and mike still on). How can I kill the activity entirely? - I found a recording in the Journal, but the Play activity failed with something as "resource busy". - While playing maze, with some gesture I changed the borders from the activity-specific border/menus to a different view. The only way out was the "square" button on top right. What's the gesture in and out of the activity-specific border/menus? - Only maze and collapse seem to work in game mode (rotated screen, use of the joypad). The other activities all requires a mouse. That's too bad. - Is there a way to upload an Epub and use the computer as an e-reader? Is there a mode where the backlight is off (I heard rumors like that)? - Reliability seems an issue. For a reason or another, I ended up rebooting every few minutes when I was switching among apps. When I stuck to play maze, everything was smooth and my kid did a million runs through the labyrinth. Just out of curiosity, did you install a beta build, or is it supposed to be stable? I don't mind "dogfooding", but I would be worried if this is the build going out to the public. - Is there a way to wipe it and restore to factory? You mentioned something like that.

Some may not have the confidence to write in a list's main language or to check that the Google Translate makes sense. Their contribution still is very important. I googled it and found: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines#Use_the_common_language http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/editplus/message/5510 The first supports the main language, the discussion in the second supports both a main language and foreign language. I would encourage those posting in a foreign language to include a Google Translate in the main language. I am not sure though, which should come first. Tony Google Translation Gracias por plantear esta Manuel Aunque estoy casi monolingüe en Inglés, que aún apoyan la idea de los puestos de la lista están en la lengua que el escritor es más seguro. Algunos pueden no tener la confianza para escribir en el idioma principal de una lista o para comprobar que el Traductor de Google tiene sentido. Su contribución sigue siendo muy importante. Busqué en Google y encontró: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines # Use_the_common_language http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/editplus/message/5510 La primera apoya la lengua principal, la discusión en el segundo es compatible con una lengua principal y lengua extranjera. Yo animaría a quienes publiquen en una lengua extranjera para incluir un Traductor de Google en el idioma principal. No estoy seguro, sin embargo, que debe ser lo primero. _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel&lt; at &gt;lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel </pre> forster< at >ozonline.com.au 2012-05-24T03:20:40 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.laptop.olpc.sugar/35884 <pre>Activity Homepage: http://activities.sugarlabs.org/addon/4251 Sugar Platform: 0.82 - 0.96 Download Now: http://activities.sugarlabs.org/downloads/file/28064/erikos-6.xo Release notes: 6 * New translations Sugar Labs Activities http://activities.sugarlabs.org </pre> Sugar Labs Activities 2012-05-24T00:06:20 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.laptop.olpc.sugar/35883 <pre>Activity Homepage: http://activities.sugarlabs.org/addon/4320 Sugar Platform: 0.82 - 0.96 Download Now: http://activities.sugarlabs.org/downloads/file/28063/pukllanapac-9.xo Release notes: 9 New translations Sugar Labs Activities http://activities.sugarlabs.org </pre> Sugar Labs Activities 2012-05-24T00:03:18 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.laptop.olpc.sugar/35882 <pre>Activity Homepage: http://activities.sugarlabs.org/addon/4518 Sugar Platform: 0.82 - 0.96 Download Now: http://activities.sugarlabs.org/downloads/file/28062/flip-4.xo Release notes: 4 New translations Sugar Labs Activities http://activities.sugarlabs.org </pre> Sugar Labs Activities 2012-05-24T00:00:36 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.laptop.olpc.sugar/35881 <pre>Activity Homepage: http://activities.sugarlabs.org/addon/4517 Sugar Platform: 0.82 - 0.96 Download Now: http://activities.sugarlabs.org/downloads/file/28061/reflection-7.xo Release notes: 7 * New translation Sugar Labs Activities http://activities.sugarlabs.org </pre> Sugar Labs Activities 2012-05-23T23:55:40 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.laptop.olpc.sugar/35880 <pre>Activity Homepage: http://activities.sugarlabs.org/addon/4220 Sugar Platform: 0.82 - 0.96 Download Now: http://activities.sugarlabs.org/downloads/file/28060/deducto-8.xo Release notes: 8 * New translations Sugar Labs Activities http://activities.sugarlabs.org </pre> Sugar Labs Activities 2012-05-23T23:48:37 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.linux.laptop.olpc.sugar
