Re: [Sugar-devel] [Sur] Oversight Board Elections 2019-21 has begun!

[Sean DALY]

Unfortunately, the voting system failed in my case, apparently due to a bug
in the CIVS automatic browser language detection system. I have asked Vipul
and CIVS to find a solution so I may vote.

Re: [Sugar-devel] facing difficulties in setting up sugar development environment

[James Cameron]

Hello Ayushman,

Yes, Ubuntu 18.04 does not have sugar-activity3, that's why we provided Sugar 
Live Build.

No, it is not necessary to rebuild Sugar Live Build.  Better is to install it 
in a VM.

Sugar will read activities in the Activities directory when Sugar starts.

A native build requires additional dependencies, and you will have to resolve 
them yourself if you choose that method.  Decorator is provided by 
python3-decorator package, Requests by python3-requests package, but there will 
likely be other dependencies.

Re: [Sugar-devel] creating activities in sugar live build bootable pen drive

[James Cameron]

I don't know how to do this with a pen drive, but I have done it by installing 
to a virtual machine.
