[Sugar-devel] processing.js - tool to replace flash in websites [KARMA]
Hey Subzero, I just came across this blog post from John Resig, the creator of jQuery. He kicked off a processing.js to replace flash for animations. I am not really sure how it relates to jQuery http://processingjs.org/ he also has a new project sizzle that is a CSS3 selector engine http://sizzlejs.com/ frankly, I don't actually know what a CSS3 selector engine is or what CSS3 selectors are but looks interesting http://processingjs.org/exhibition here are some demos. Interesting thing is that these demos really rev my CPU. I have a centrino dual-core 2 GHz. Firefox chews up 70% of my processor. However, when I stream Youtube Firefox also often chews up 50% of my processor so not sure if firefox is at fault or processing.js -- Bryan W.

[Sugar-devel] Gnumeric for sugar
Hello everyone, It looks like the latest development version of Gnumeric has a libspreadsheet library, which may make it possible to make an Activity out of it. It exposes a structure[1] which lets you access many of the widgets inside the gnumeric application window, and yesterday, I utilized that to make a hack proof of concept spreadsheet activity: screenshots at http://dev.laptop.org/~sayamindu/spreadsheet/Screenshot.png and http://dev.laptop.org/~sayamindu/spreadsheet/Screenshot_1.png Of course, for a proper activity, we would probably need to wrap WorkBookView[2] and the associated gobjects.

Re: [Sugar-devel] [IAEP] Sugar on LTSP
Due to the sad state of ubuntu sugar, I decided, along with cyberorg to package sugar and quite big set of honey sugar activities (about 50 of them) on openSUSE. The main goal here was to make it work nicely with LTSP. So far that is working quite well, and there is no reason ejabberd won't work with that. It worked just fine with ubuntu intrepid +ejabberd. There are still a couple of hurdles to overcome, such as some activities now working, but we should have a fully functional environment within the coming weeks. I'll keep the list informed. kind Regards, David On Sun, Apr 26, 2009 at 2:34 AM, Walter Bender walter.ben...@gmail.com wrote: Sugar is compatible with LTSP systems.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Kartik - internship outside GSoC
Regarding my interests, it has always been towards networking and as much away from UI as I can :). The areas I am interested in working includes communication or any other background improvements sugar requires. I was particularly impressed by Groupthink because it solves a core problem for sugar and I will definitely like to do some thing of this sort (research+implementation). I guess a lot of work will be done on Groupthink as a part of this year's Gsoc. Another research oriented project I found here http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/DevelopmentTeam/ProjectIdeas is the Toolkit for dissimilar activity collaboration idea. Can someone please update me on this and whether this will be an appropriate project to start for me and if I will have a mentor to assist me on this (high priority). My own, completely personal opinion on dissimilar activity collaboration is that it is a solution searching for a problem. I understand that there are real use cases, but I haven't seen one that's nearly as compelling as the viral-activity idea (idea 2 of the ones I sent). This is just me commenting, I hope that others with opposing viewpoints will also comment. As to Groupthink, I think that it would be ill-advised to try to force you and Bemasc to work together without a very clear delineation of responsibility which minimizes dependencies. I also think it would be very hard to draw such a line, though you're welcome to prove me wrong on this latter point. Regarding the two ideas listed in the earlier mail I will be more inclined towards the second one, but my priority will go towards the one I mentioned above. One thing which I will prefer to be their in my project is that it should fall completely within Sugar and will require less dependence on any other organization. Please take this factor in consideration too when you comment on any project idea. I think that the viral activity idea could be a good fit for you. It certainly looks as if it falls entirely inside Sugar, relying on only existing functionality from Telepathy. Thanks for this gesture, I seriously appreciate this. The least we could do, in the circumstances.

However, as much as it pains me, I think you will have to go through some of the application process over again. We don't need to interview you again, once is plenty and you did well. But we do need a specific proposal, with clear deliverables - which could easily take a week or more for you to create - and then at least a few days for us to evaluate the merits of such a proposal and our ability to support it. Otherwise, how can we meaningfully evaluate whether you've completed your internship? I suspect that we'd be ready to accommodate whatever reasonable calendar you set up for those steps. Jameson 2009/4/26 kartik rustagi kashes...@gmail.com Hi David, I talked to few of my seniors and the Training and Placement Cell at my school and they told me that the only official letter I will be needing are: 1) 'Joining Letter' which will state the date I will be starting my internship and my supervisor (mentor) at the organization. This letter should preferably on the letter head of the organization or should have some other kind of authentication. 2) And at the end of training I will need a completion certificate. I will scan and mail you the format of these documents, that will be more convenient. The official period of the internship will start from the last week of May after the university exams (going on right now).

You should write more about what kind of project would interest you; the suggestions below focus more on communications, because that's what I know as your expertise, but if you are interested in UI, security, graphics, or something else, there are probably other ideas for you. I'm not really the person to talk to about communications. I was talking with bemasc (benjamin schwartz, copied on this email) and we had two ideas: Some way of completing your original project idea without involving Collabora/Telepathy too much. For instance, Bemasc mentioned Webdav, but said The problem is that it has no (standardized or otherwise) connection to XMPP, so Collabora isn't much interested in shoving it into Salut in some ad-hoc way So it would have to live outside of Salut, but still ask

Re: [Sugar-devel] processing.js - tool to replace flash in websites [KARMA]
thanks for the reality check ;). Processing.js is probably overkill for
the simple stuff we need to do. It is easy to get distracted w/
high-quality animations when what we need are simple animations that are
very responsive to the user.
I have fallen in love w/ the default jQuery selector engine. It is
pretty darn fantastic.

I don't know if the abstraction Processing.js offers over plain
canvas is useful for Karma or it's just overhead.
jQuery already has a selector engine ( called by $('bla') ), afaik
Sizzle is supposed to be a jQuery-independent selector engine. I don't
think it has much use outside of creating js libraries.
