Re: [Sugar-devel] [ASLO] Release Get Books-7

[Bastien]

Thanks all your answers.  I wanted to use GetBooks locally since 
1) Internet is not (yet) here and 2) I'm not sure the volunteers
on the ground will know how to install pathagar on the server.

But I'll gather all this information and make it available to 
OLPC France for our next meeting -- hopefully we can work on a
short-term solution (local GetBooks + OPDS) and a long-term one
(pathagar). 

Thanks again,

You do have a lot of activities!! Even more than me :P

At one point I had the spiral avoid the regions where it got cut off... I
took that check out of the code but maybe I should add it back in.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Patch for Jukebox: New toolbar

[Gonzalo Odiard]

Yes, Manu is working with me.
About the patchs from Sebastian, in what other activities have you worked?
Can you send the patches to sugar-devel?
The merge request does not work, because nobody receive a mail and there are
not review.

Also attached is a new version of the patch to volumestoolbar.py since
Gary's icon has a different name than the one I had been using.

Re: [Sugar-devel] [PATCH] adding $HOME/Documents to the volumes toolbar

[Rodolfo D. Arce S.]

Hello:

I was wondering if you had considered if the Documents folder is translated.
I know that gnome when changing the default language for the user sometimes
renames the folders ("Documents" -> "Documentos, "Download" -> "Descargas",
etc) This is made usually during instalation or when the user changes the
default language

Cheers.. R

I've wondered the same, so I reviewed the patch (you should too - it's
earlier in this same thread). Yes, it does use freedesktop's standard
way of asking 'what's the localized Documents folder?'.

[Simon Schampijer]

Python 2.7 switched from using httplib.HTTP to using httplib.HTTPConnection,
 as the httplib.HTTPConnection includes a timeout by default we can use a
xmlrpclib.Transport directly and do not need to subclass it.

Re: [Sugar-devel] [ASLO] Release Get Books-7

[James Simmons]

Bastien,

I have installed Pathagar and describe the process in "E-Book
Enlightenment".  calibre would give you a very similar website with
less work that Pathagar would require, and it would be easier to set
up for non-technical people.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Patch for Jukebox: New toolbar

[Sebastian Silva]

About these patches for new toolbars that we shared back in march, yes I 
should have sent them to the list.
I did not think we were this formal with activities development, but I 
agree we should be, to avoid duplication of work.
I will go now and dispatch my patches to the list, meanwhile you can see 
what was done at

This makes me think we should relive the Activities Team and document 
these workflows if we want to make it approachable to build and mantain 
more activities.


Manu, great to see you active around here.
Un gusto haberlos conocido en Montevideo. Saludos!

About the patchs from Sebastian, in what other activities have you worked?
Can you send the patches to sugar-devel?
The merge request does not work, because nobody receive a mail and 
there are not review.

Hi Manu.

2011/5/18 manuel quiñones mailto:manuel.por@gmail.com>>

Hello,

Here is a patch to use the new toolbar for the Jukebox
activity.  A
few notes about the changes below:

You will notice that I renamed the ControlToolbar class to just
Control, that's because it doesn't inherit anymore from
gtk.Toolbar,
now the toolbar is a property of that class, that can be the
old one
or the new one.

I moved the fullscreen button to a View subtoolbar for consistency
with other activities.

Regards,


I think that Sebastian Silva (on cc) has a merge request to fix
this issue also.

http://git.sugarlabs.org/jukebox/mainline/merge_requests/2
 Would be nice if you two work with kushal to have this merged
into mainline and packaged into a new release.

Thanks for your patch, gonzalo has a list of activities that
need a new toolbar if you want to work on those :).

[Sugar-devel] Please review "Make Your Own Sugar Activities!" on Amazon

[James Simmons]

The e-book "Make Your Own Sugar Activities!" is in the Kindle Store on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Make-Your-Sugar-Activities-ebook/dp/B0050VAHKW/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_1

On its first day it racked up three sales at .99 apiece.  Sales seem
to have stalled at three.  Amazon tells me that based on these three
sales my rank is around 96,000 out of some 750,000 books total.

One thing successful books have on their pages is reviews.  Many of
you on these lists have praised this book or thanked me for writing
it.  If a few of you could log into Amazon and write a short review
that may be enough to launch a few more sales.  It doesn't have to be
long or gushing.  It doesn't even have to be a *good* review.  Even a
review like "Publication of this e-book has set back children's
education by at least ten years!" would be better than no review at
all.  Heck, I'd read a book with a review like that.

Thanks in advance,

James Simmons

Re: [Sugar-devel] [IAEP] Please review "Make Your Own Sugar Activities!" on Amazon

[James Simmons]

Caryl,

You can review a book even if you haven't bought it.  You just need an
account on Amazon.  And while it is true that three sales had a
dramatic effect on the book's ranking, I would expect diminishing
returns to kick in pretty soon.

> P.S.  What are the chances of getting the Spanish version on Amazon?

Pretty good, I'd say.  All you would need to do is generate an EPUB
from Booki, make some simple modifications to it (adding Table Of
Contents and cover image), and run the free kindlegen program against
it.  I gave the details on how to do this in a previous email, and I
made the same information into a post for the Booki Blog that is being
reviewed.  I may also put the information as a chapter in "E-Book
Enlightenment".  Even though Sugar does not support reading MOBI files
you can use Booki on the XO, so having students publish their work in
the Kindle Store is doable, especially with one of the newer XOs that
support both Sugar and GNOME.

We'd have to wait until we had a definitive version of the book, and
the lead translator should probably do the publishing (and get
whatever profits there may be).  Amazon lets you list multiple
contributors on the page for the book, so if there were multiple
translators they could all be listed.  I could be listed as an author
even if I didn't submit the book.

It would be a good idea to post PDF, EPUB, and MOBI of the Spanish
version on the Internet Archive at the same time as the Kindle Store.

What would help other than reviews would be to get more FLOSS Manuals
on Amazon.  That way anyone finding one of them would get recommended
to read the rest of them.  Some of the FLOSS Manuals are pretty well
known, like the CiviCRM manual and the one on Circumventing Internet
Censorship.  It would make sense to get those books on the Kindle and
all the other FLOSS Manuals would benefit too.

Thanks,

James Simmons

[Sugar-devel] Browse cache bloat

[Sebastian Silva]

Hi,
dirakx and I are working on Browse and are trying to find a way to fix
http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2659 - [dx2] Browse should have a cache 
cleaning policy


It seems to us the only way to bloat the 
.sugar/default/org.laptop.WebActivity/instance dir is by doing a large 
download and then interrupting it (either because of network problems or 
by canceling). This leaves partial downloads in this dir and can fill 
the disk pretty quickly on XO hardware.


We have thought of a workaround policy as we can't find an option in 
xulrunner to handle this by removing these partial files:

- on click of "cancel" in a download - erase partial download
- on start of new session of browse (if no other instance is running)

Is this an acceptable fix?
Input welcome as we prepare the patch,

Cheers,
Sebastian

Re: [Sugar-devel] Browse cache bloat

[Sebastian Silva]

I've implemented the first part of this patch.
It deletes partial downloads when user clicks on cancel button or 
deletes journal download entry.
This should already mitigate thie situation. Alas, the partial download 
still remains when there is a crash.


I could remove partial downloads on start of activity, but i'm worried 
another instance of Browse might be open and downloading.

How should I check for this condition?

Thanks

I'll admit that I was vague. Let me clarify...

We are actively engaged in XS development. However, schools and
departments of education are not ready for it at this stage. The XS-AU
installations that we do have are quite successful.

There's a lot I can say on this topic based on the situation in
Australian schools, but I'll have to leave that for a later date. For
the foreseeable future, we'll have to manage in most schools without
XSs.

The schools have Windows-based servers that I know for sure allow CIFS
connections. I'll have to investigate if there are alternate means of
connecting (maybe a Web interface).

How much network traffic would this generate, and how well does it
perform? I find that Sugar is slow with network or physically
connected volumes because it tries to index everything and then write
metadata on the remote end. The metadata can be annoying as it
pollutes the volume.

why not use Moodle or Sharepoint or Blackboard?
(depending on the school's preference)
Its all tested technology and most schools already have one of these
