I hope you run.

The board can't guaranty "organic growth" but just try involve and connect
members in the community.
Is not a executive group.

But this thread show how we can see this in different ways, you asked
"What is being done to address the main issues raised by deployments in the
latest development survey."
I interpreted "what the board did" and replied "Still nothing"
James provided a reply with what different members in the community did,
and is a completely different reply.

Then, I agree would be better more people involved in the board meetings.

 Walter, can you confirm if will be next monday or the 8th and the time?

James, the slobs meeting is usually at our night, then you are awake ;)

Re: [Sugar-devel] Testing Sugar 0.104.1 - upgrade to 0.105.1, on Ubuntu

[James Cameron]

Thanks for testing.

The Gears problem sounds curious, perhaps it happens on other systems,
I should give it a try.

The missing sources.list entry was on my list to fix.  I'll release note it in 
the Wiki and see if the next image might fix it.

[Sugar-devel] Testing Sugar 0.104.1 - upgrade to 0.105.1, on Ubuntu

[Iain Brown Douglas]

Environment:

A fresh hard drive install, (following [1]), of Ubuntu from this image:
dev.laptop.org/~quozl/olpc-ubuntu-sugar-14.04.2-desktop-amd64-1432093697.iso


Thank you for another great version of Sugar. It looks and feels very
good and it's grand to see collaboration working, tested over
jabber.sugarlabs.org and also a local network of the above hard drive
install and a persistent USB stick made from it, using Ububtu's Startup
Disk Creator [2].

In brief testing, the only fault I noted was Gears flashing random
colours. Gears, Start new, seems to work fine, but following Stop and
Resume, individual cogs cannot decide what colour they should be.

Upgrade:

Expectation, /etc/apt/sources.list will already contain

deb [trusted=yes] http://dev.laptop.org/pub/us trusty main

but it was not there.

Having added it manually, Sugar updated fine to 0.105.1 with update &&
dist-upgrade. No problems observed with the upgrade, original ~/.sugar
remains intact.

Attached original /etc/apt/sources.list

Cheers,

Iain Brown Douglas
