Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugar Labs Roadmap.
Just to share information about Uruguay. Here we gave classmate machines to some of our teachers. They prefer this laptops, instead of XO, because have a better overall performance. This machines have Ubuntu with Sugar Sweets Distribution. We prefer Ubuntu, instead of Fedora as Linux Distribution, because has Long Term Support. Additionally this, the provider has more experience in this distribution. Today we use Fedora because is the Operating System of OLPC, but in case we start to use other hardware we will prefer other linux distributions.

Another option that while not perfect at the moment is some of the new x86 ‘Bay Trail’ based Windows tablets such as the Dell Venue 8 Pro or similar models from other manufacturers. The linux experience on them at the moment is far from great but I don't believe it'll be long before they're quite usable for people that wish to use sugar via tablet. Another couple more for community evaluation (evaluation, testing, marketing) * Linux compatible ARM boards * Virtualbox SoaS is our current offering for Virtualbox (As you pointed out in a previous thread, it is a two-step process to install. In my experience, that is 1 too many for our audience. Something we may be able to address by approaching some of the VM suppliers.) The virtual box image, which isn't supported by me, is a terrible experience. It's almost impossible to support well and with a single click this form of deployment. Unfortunately this method of deployment is far from straight forward for the average end user without technical assistance.

Re: [Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] Proposal: Simple messages notification system
This feature is very useful for us. For example we use it to notify users about the release of new software images and to publish information about contests that Ceibal promote.

The relevant details are mentioned in the associated feature page: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Simple_Messages_Notification Thanks for starting the mail-list thread. Do you have any examples of how this notification feature is currently being used on the ground by dextrose users? Would be interesting to know some concrete examples and if you've had any direct user feedback. Yes, there are a couple of examples in which this is feature is used: 1. There is a automatic-yum-based updater in dextrose, which installs updates to sugar and related packages in the background, and upon installation, when a restart is required, a notification to that effect pops up. This is present in all flavors of dextrose (AU, UY, PY, Intl), and is also the one demonstrated on the feature page. 2. This feature has been used quite extensively in UY, where they use it to notify kids about a number of important information that the deployment administration needs to convey. I am cc-ing Esteban Bordon and Daniel Castelo, who might have more details. As far as feedback is concerned, we havent heard of complaints from deployments on this feature so far (I guess that's a positive ;-) ). The criticism has been to add more features to it. * Perhaps, there could be more notification classes. i.e., different alert types/icons * Prioritization of some alerts over others So far, this is a basic implementation which doesn't get in people's way and mostly works. We can add more bells and whistles to it, but I would want to upstream it first and add them later (with proper design discussions around them) Let me know if you need more clarification :-) Regards, --Gary Cheers, Anish -- Ing.

Re: [Sugar-devel] [IAEP] Olidata computers in Uruguay
tengan las dos: la potente y la XO normal de los Niños. En este momento se les cambia la XO por la Olidata. NOTA: cuando digo potente (hablando de la Olidata ), es en tono jocoso, espero que se entienda. La Olidata Tiene la pantalla un poco más chica que la XO , de 7 y 800x400, en cambio la XO es de 7.5 y de 1200x900 Debe ser por esa razón que ciertas actividades se ven cortadas, al igual que sucede con los emuladores. Estaría bueno que los programadores hicieran como ya hicieron con ETOYS, que lo modificaron especialmente por estos problemas, y ahora los iconos y menúes se adaptan a la pantalla y no se pierde ninguno. PEro en muchas actividades no sucede eso. --- La verificación más simple sobre el tamaño de pantalla es entrar a TurtleART, si la Tortuga no está inicialmente en el medio de la pantalla significa que a la pantalla le falta algo para visualizar. en el write, por ejemplo, los menúes de arriba a la derecha se pierden, creo que es el botón para cambiar tipo de letra.

I have this ticket pending, could you give your feedback? Thanks!!!
http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1759
This patch improves the feature 3G Support (added in 0.88).
It was also backported to 0.84, so the mention of 0.88 is probably
unnecessarily restrictive.
The patch was created before that the feature has been backported
Also, the same changes apply to other wireless network types, not just
3G, so I don't think 3G Support is the right description.
Maybe you are right, but the feature has this name:
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/3G_Support
By the way, if you produce a 0.84 re-spin, then I can easily test it for
you. See sucrose-0.84 branch in
git://git.sugarlabs.org/sugar/mainline.git
Backporting this patch to 0.84 is not trivial, i will try.
Includes:
Show the connection errors

There can be other explanations for this reason, such as incorrect SIM

While APN is indeed known to cause PPP_DISCONNECT and PPP_FAILED, there
are many other reasons, and so it is incorrect to specifically identify
APN as the only cause. An invalid APN is a common cause, but not the
only cause. Another cause commonly seen is lack of radio signal or
antenna.
Maybe we have to shown two messages, the error message (PPP_DISCONNECT)
and a possible solution to the user (Check the APN configuration.)
Also, Access Point Name (APN) is how it is described in the Modem

in a message.

Currently it supports Internet Archive and Feedbooks plus Library on a Stick situations like the one the Rural Design Collective made from the Internet Archive Children's Book Collection.

I also have a Project Gutenberg-specific book search in Read Etexts and I think that needs to stay around awhile longer too. OPDS is the future, my stuff is the imperfect present.

As I told before I have made some improvements to this feature: tickets 1652-Add Connection Information and 1654-Add Pin/Puk Configuration (i wrote this in the feature page). To add Pin/Puk configuration support I need to handle the Authentication Error. Now i am setting the message Authentication Error on the palette label. This message dissapear when user clicks.

I get no feedback when that action was not successful and what went wrong. And I have no hint that I should set options in the Control Panel. I know we wanted to keep it simple but maybe someone has a smart idea how one could enhance the feedback and a hint to use the control panel to set This sounds like a good time to revive the global notification idea. The design intent there was to each corner of the screen with one edge of the Frame (lower-right would be devices), and to have notification icons (the device icon itself, usually) slide in and out of the corners to grab attention in various cases, such as a failed connection attempt. We also had thoughts about adjusting the contents of the palette in these cases, to contain the error message, and also provide options to resolve the issue. For instance, the GSM device might indicate a failed connection and offer try again and change settings options. I think nailing this in a way that's useful system-wide and in all edges of the Frame will take a bit of thought, but this is a good opportunity to discuss it. I also agree there, but I think that for 0.88 we need something simpler to implement. Struggling to think of a friendly alternative, best I have just now is to keep the palette open until the successful connection is made, you'd be looking at a connecting... message or spinner of some kind (hopefully with an option to cancel); once an error/timeout is reached you are left looking at that message in the palette (until you click away). If the GSM device is not yet configured via the CP, should the device palette just report that as the error (ideally with an entry to jump to the CP, but that can be a future feature). Keep in mind we'll have similar UI needs for other devices needing configuration (i.e. certainly the printer device GSOC project, if it ever make it in to Sugar). Could be nice to offer a jump to the CP option for other devices as well in the future (battery device could provide a jump to the CP energy saving module; wifi device could provide a jump to the CP network module). the options? Didn't Eben suggested once to add an option to be able to launch the CP from within the device? Yeah, I think hot-linking directly to the CP module for variouos devices would be a logical addition.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugarizing an application
In a short term we are thinking in develop an activity to interact with wwdial. In the future we are planning to test Sugar 0.8x and Network Manager 0.7, and change our activity to interact with networkmanager. We should investigate the way to interact with networkmanager (a set of APIs or something like that). Regards.

[Sugar-devel] Sudo in Fedora release 9
I have the version OLPC release 9 (Joyride) of Fedora, I want to configure the sudoers file to allow users to run some commands as root using sudo. But I couldn't do it. As I see it, the sudoers file in this fedora has been done by OLPC. This is true? Can I install the conventional sudo command in this distribution?
