[IAEP] [Marketing] Users cannot find Sugar with gnome-software in Fedora 20
GNOME Software Center, or Software [1] is the default software installer for Fedora 20. Sugar is not found in a search of Software. Richard Hughes, the owner of Fedora's Changes/AppInstaller [2], put out a call [3] for maintainers to ship an AppData specification [4], so that Software will find registered apps. I asked Richard how I could help fix this and this is from his reply. [quote] I assume you want to show the sugar-runner application. According to https://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/screenshots/f21/failed.html#sugar-runner.desktop it's missing a Comment in the .desktop file that means we just can't show it in the search results. It's also missing an AppData file, so a long description and some screenshots. If you fix up the .desktop file, and/or add an AppData file that validates, then do a build+update for f21 then it should re-appear in the search results after a couple of days. Hope this helps, Richard [/quote] Is anyone already working on this?

Is a good point Iain. Can you help us with this? If you send a AppData file, I can help with the packaging.

Let us know, so we can plan accordingly. http://www.olpcsf.org/node/212 Cheers, Sameer I got a few queries on how we were planning to run the event online. We are working on setting up an instance of Summit Scheduler. This platform is used by Ubuntu to run their online summits for each release. You can see an instance of Summit Scheduler in action for their summits at http://summit.ubuntu.com/ Summit Scheduler relies on Google Hangouts for organizing the live sessions. The session presenters use a Google Hangout setup. The attendees use a Youtube live stream to watch and IRC to ask questions/participate. Once done, the sessions will be available on Youtube later. Mike Lee has agreed to be the Director of the Google Hangouts process with tips and tricks on how best to run these sessions. The submission of proposals, organization of the calendar, timing etc. is all done by the Summit Scheduler. Aaron Borden is working on setting up a version of the Summit Scheduler with our own branding/colors etc. The code and instructions for Summit Scheduler can be found at http://summit.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ Do let me know if you have any other questions. cheers, Sameer -- Sameer Verma, Ph.D. Professor, Information Systems San Francisco State University http://verma.sfsu.edu/ http://commons.sfsu.edu/ http://olpcsf.org/ http://olpcjamaica.org.jm/ ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
