But that should come from the Sugar contributors who use those other distros. Hi, I agree with both your points here. It would be important to support more distributions and someone else needs to step in for that to be possible. To facilitate this, I'm streamlining a bit the process of adding a distribution and documenting it. I will post a link to the docs as soon as I have it. I'm also be available to help out whoever is interested in contributing support for a new distribution. ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)

[IAEP] Sugar Digest 2012-11-25
== Sugar Digest == 1. Google Code-In [1] begins tomorrow. It is not too late to sign up as a mentor [2] and to recruit students to participate [3]. While many of the tasks [4] involve programming, there are also documentation, design, and research tasks. This is a great opportunity for Sugar Labs to recruit its next generation of developers. 2. Sugar Labs is holding its annual election to the oversight board early next month. If you are interested in running for one of the open board seats, open to any community member, please feel free to contact me or the membership committee with any questions before 7 December. === Tech Talk === 3. Daniel Narvaez has made a number of improvements to sugar-build [5], which has by-and-large replaced sugar-jhbuild as the preferred development environment for Fedora and Ubuntu. === Sugar Labs === Visit our planet [6] for more updates about Sugar and Sugar deployments. -walter -- Walter Bender Sugar Labs http://www.sugarlabs.org [1] http://www.google-melange.com/gci/homepage/google/gci2012 [2] http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/GoogleCodeIn2012/Participate#Mentors [3] http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/GoogleCodeIn2012/Participate#Students [4] http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/GoogleCodeIn2012#Tasks [5] http://sugarlabs.org/~dnarvaez/sugar-docs [6] http://planet.sugarlabs.org ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
