It uses neither flash, nor html5: the video plays in the Totem plugin. But... only very few videos are available. Probably, only those that have been uploaded in the ogg-theora format. I'm sure Totem could play also the other videos because I added all the patent-encumbered codecs. -- Bernie Innocenti Sugar Labs Infrastructure Team http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Infrastructure_Team ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)

Re: [IAEP] Questions to SLOB candidates

Personally I'd also be interested in taking this one step further and creating a lively debate. Two ideas I've been thinking about are: (a) An IRC discussion with all the candidates next Tuesday or Wednesday before the election starts. This would give all Sugar Labs members a chance to directly interact with the candidates by asking questions. Additionally it could lead to some interesting discussions among the candidates whereas I fear that discussions here on the list will be more unidirectional (e.g. with the candidates simply answering the questions Sascha mentions below but not commenting on each other's answers and ideas). (b) Organizing a Skype, Gtalk, or Google+ Hangout session with the same purpose. While text-based communication has some advantages (e.g. it's easy to search, reference, etc.) I personally really like hearing people's voices and real-time reactions to discussions and arguments. For all these things we could use a wiki page or even something like Google Moderator (http://moderator.appspot.com/) to collect questions from the community in advance. Thoughts anyone? Cheers, Christoph Considering that I'm a candidate, I don't want to interfere in the process. However, I think this is a good idea in principle. I won't be available next week (I'll be at the OSDC conference in Canberra [1]), but I'm happy to participate otherwise. Okay, seeing that we have less than a week to go until the elections and the feedback for this idea has been very limited I'm starting to wonder whether it even makes sense to dedicate any time to setting this up... Yes? No? Cancel?

Re: [IAEP] [SoaS] SoaS v7?
This is an example of a dd writable SoaS-v2.img file which produces a fully functional Conventional install on a USB. This is equivalent to a liveinst install to USB.[1] It was first suggested by bernie [2] in early 2010 as a better alternative to the currently used live USB SoaS filesystems with their fragile and limited sized overlay, * This functionality is expected to be included in fedora 17 liveinst (Anaconda) * It would be even nicer to be able to create and install to USB, the Soas-v7.img file directly from the first sugar boot screen as a third option line, rather from a obscure liveinst command in terminal.

Why not use Adobe Flash? Problems with the license? Yes, it's not even redistributable. Besides, there's no ARM version for the XO-1.75. And even if both problems were solved, flash is typically too slow to play videos on hardware as the XO-1. On the XO-1.5 it's barely acceptable for low resolution videos. Gnash overcomes the redistribution issue, but not necessarily the performance ones. Yes. Quite frankly, Gnash is still so bad that it'd be inclined to remove it altogether from XO distributions. One could make a case that half-broken flash support is still better than nothing, but I think it makes us look worse than systems like iOS and Android which don't provide flash at all. Moreover, some video sites detect the presence of flash and use it instead of HTML5 video. Daily Motion is one of these. Sugar Labs has friends in the Gnash community we could ask about this, they've been working (with some sucecss, I think) on XO 1.75 implemetnation and of course, we do host their PO files for L10n, and have recently upstreamed a number of completed L10ns. I use Gnash on my computer and I report bugs to the developers from time to time. Though, after so many years of development, I'm starting to suspect that HTML5 will make Flash irrelevant before Gnash replaces it. -- Bernie Innocenti Sugar Labs Infrastructure Team http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Infrastructure_Team ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
