Sugar architecture diagram (was Re: OLPC France CodeCamp in Paris)
2008/11/1 LASKE, Lionel (C2S) [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi all, OLPC France is proud to announce its OLPC CodeCamp in Paris on November 15th. Five workshops are planned: · Sugar: development and experimentation on Sugar/python, Hi, perhaps may help this diagram I quickly sketched (see in a fixed-width font): --- | | || | | | Non-python | Sugar shell | Python| | | Sugar | (Desktop window, |Sugar| | | Activities | panel,| Activities | | Regular| (Etoys,| journal) | | | X | Simcity, || | | Apps |Mono |--| | | activities, |Sugar toolkit (python-only) | | |etc.)| | | || | |DataStore | Presence | | | service | service| --- |Matchbox window manager| | (considering switching to Metacity for improved compatibility) | --- | | |GNOME-ish Linux desktop| |X11, HAL, D-Bus, NetworkManager, GConf, Telepathy, etc | | | --- Regards, Tomeu · School Server: setting up and test of school server on multiple platform (standard PC, Booba server, CherryPal, …), · Mono: development of new activities using Mono, · Pedagogic usage: Feedbacks from Haïti, Ethiopia and Palestine deployment. Brainstorming with French teachers to find usage and class activity for the XO. · French localization: French translators will work all the days to translate in French, sugar, activities and FLOSS manual. If you're interested to meet the French OLPC community and to have a nice trip to Paris: you're welcome !

Sugarizing Labyrinth (was Re: OLPC France CodeCamp in Paris)
Hi, have created a git repo in gitorious that could be used as an starting point: http://gitorious.org/projects/labyrinth-sugar We should notify the Labyrinth authors of this effort at some (early) point.

Re: OLPC France CodeCamp in Paris
This sounds very interesting and useful. A nice breadth of projects to keep things interesting and cross pollinate ideas between groups that might not interact frequently. thanks david 2008/11/1 LASKE, Lionel (C2S) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi all, OLPC France is proud to announce its OLPC CodeCamp in Paris on November 15 th.
