[IAEP] [SoaS-2] A bunch of new Snapshots. Please test!
Hi folks, it has been calm for almost a week, but now there are news regarding Sugar on a Stick! First of all, new snapshots have been made available. You can now grab the .iso image from here: http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/2/Soas2-200903211320.iso And the virtual appliance from here: http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/appliances/soas2-20090321.tar.gz So. What has changed? And why am I so excited about this release? * The underlying kickstart file structure has changed completely. We've merged the files for SoaS and OLPC's Fedora-XO effort, which means that both sides won't need anymore to commit the same patch three times. * We're now including quite a lot of activities from a.sl.o. Of course, those need testing! *hint* :) * As you may have noticed above, the virtual appliance images get now created together with the live media image. No need to kick them off manually. * General package updates have taken place! Well, most of these changes concern probably the underlying structure and won't be necessarily evident to the average user, but I still quite an improvement here. Please also watch your inbox for upcoming news regarding the SoaS roadmap! Thanks and happy hacking! :) --Your SoaS Team ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)

Re: [IAEP] Colors for a.sl.o
Hi Caryl, a.sl.o is short for activities.sugarlabs.org. Its where you can get new activities for sugar. Its a good idea to ask kids what colors they like, but we're limited to the color palette attached. (I tried to find the link on the wiki, but I have no idea where it is.)

I agree, ASLO is easier to type too. -Josh David Farning wrote: FWIW, We might want to start branding activities.sugarlab.org as also or ASLO instead of a.sl.o. Within the mozilla developer community AMO (addons.mozilla.org) is very strong.
