[Sugar-devel] SOAS

2015-07-20 Thread David Leeming
Hello,

 

I have familiarity with Sugar since working with OLPC from 2008, but I
haven't been active in these communities for some time. I'm just refreshing
myself on current status of Sugar with a view to introducing teachers to it
in a forthcoming workshop in Vanuatu. We'll be using tablets as well as PCs
so I have familiarised myself with Sugarizer. I then intended to introduce
the wider world of Sugar conveniently with SOAS.

 

So I have downloaded both the 32-bit and 64-bit iso files and verified their
hashes. I also download the latest version of USB Live Installer. I
formatted a fairly new 16GB USB with FAT32 and installed SOAS on it leaving
2000Mb of persistent memory. The USB stick is a "SanDisk Cruzer Facet 16GB".

 

Immediately I run into problems. When booting (on a fairly recent Toshiba i7
laptop) it stops with "vesamenu.c32 not a com32r image". On pressing Tab key
I do not see "Live" as an option, but it does start with the option linux0.
Sugar boots and I can use it for a few minutes, I tried Speak and Turtle Art
for instance, but within a short time it hangs and needs a hard boot. 

 

I repeated the whole process with the 32-bit (verified) iso file and same
problem. I'll give this problem only a few hours as that is all I have. But
I would like to know what are the requirements for a reliable repeatable
experience with SOAS, as it says on the website, to get Sugar into Vanuatu
schools.

[Sugar-devel] quick introduction

2015-07-20 Thread Paul Clarke
Hey.
My name's paul, I'm one of the high schoolers who did the Google code in (I
submitted just one measly patch).  I really like what y'all are doing, and
I'd like to help out some with sugar. So this is a heads up that you might
me see me on IRC or the bug tracker once in a while.
hope I can be useful.

Re: [Sugar-devel] [road to 0.108] developing team meeting

2015-07-20 Thread Martin Abente
Thank you everyone for coming, I think that at least we have mentioned the
important topics and have opened the discussions regarding release times.

We should continue with these topics via mailing list and meet again ASAP
once we have a bit more details about what needs and can to be done.

[Sugar-devel] Additions to MOhayon's Sugar activity

2015-07-20 Thread Michaël Ohayon
Hi Sneha and hi everyone,

I've seen your additions :)

I'm working onto the ui changes for the pen/color/size and also on the
collaboration mode.

Those changes will be breaking stuff so what we can do is the following.

- Fork the project https://github.com/mikklfr/Paint.activity using the
github fork button

- Push your changes onto a branch in order to keep them easily seen and
merged

- When I'll finish my updates you'll be able update your code as well to
fit with the new specifications and we'll merge your work onto the app.

Feel free to send me emails if you have any question.

Regards

 Hi Michael, Gonzalo , Manu Sir, Puneet, Lionel and everyone else,

 I have made three new additions to Michael's Paint Activity

 - sketcher

 - Ribbon

 -Airbrush

 I have done those additions on my github repo here   -
 https://github.com/SnehaMohanty/MOhayon-Sugar-paint-branch


 Note: The svg icons as of now, are not well suited for each of the
 airbrush, ribbon and sketcher , as i haven't made the suitable icons as of
 yet.


 Screenshots from my additions have been attached with this mail.


 Please take a look and give me a feedback.

 Regards,
 Sneha Mohanty
