Re: [Sugar-devel] Introduction and review request of GSoC Proposal:

[James Cameron]

Thanks, I've reviewed your updated proposal.

My assessment of project impact;

Originally documentation was separate because we had non-coding
developers and tool chains that varied by type of developer.  Now we
use GitHub the tool chains are combined.

With the project as described, documentation will be concentrated in
the source code repository for an activity, reducing ongoing
maintenance.

We have less active Wiki contributors than we ever did, and in the
current threat environment a Wiki requires significant monitoring and
administration; we recently lost some system administrators and gained
new ones; using GitHub allows us to outsource system administration.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Introduction and review request of GSoC Proposal:

[Rudra Sadhu]

thanks James for the assessment.

I've successfully migrated a few of the pages from
https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities to GitHub
Find the pull request at https://github.com/godiard/help-activity/pull/38

and now, the wiki-pages needs to be deprecated.
As to delete a page from the wiki, an user needs 'administrators' rights,

thus,
Some possible ways to delete the pages are:
1. create a bot account with restricted permissions which can delete
pages(my preferred choice)
2. for a temporary period grant delete rights to me
3. someone trusted deletes the pages
4. something else and better (please suggest)

It may not be convenient to delete the pages manually as there will be
thousands of those(including extra images/files attached to the pages) for
the 345 pages to be migrated
All of the deletion is preferred to be done by a script (which uses
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Delete), under close supervision
Do not worry, no damage(if at all) will be permanent; since it is possible
to always recover pages deleted by an user with 'administrators' rights.
Read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Deletion_and_undeletion

Please recommend the desired course of action

thanks,
Rudra Sadhu

Re: [Sugar-devel] Introduction and review request of GSoC Proposal:

[James Cameron]

I don't know.  I don't have administrator rights on the Wiki.  Hope
Walter or someone else can answer.  Meanwhile, I've been replacing
migrated pages with links to the new location, so that old links don't
break.

​This method should be preferred.  It is easy and effective, doesn't
destroy history, and points toward where you want people to look.

[Sugar-devel] Introduction of MIT graduate team working with Sugar Labs

[Julie Lein]

Dear Sugar Community,

We are MBA candidates at MIT working with Sugar Labs to help generate
awareness for the organization as an independent, open-source educational
innovator for children. To do this, we would love your input!

We will be sending out a brief survey to assess how Sugar and Sugar Labs are
perceived by those who know them best. We would be very grateful if you
would take a few moments of your time to share your perspectives with us.
We will use your input to generate strategic recommendations for how Sugar
Labs can increase its reach throughout the global community.

>From a personal level, we all came to Sugar Labs due to our passion for
education and international development.  Alex previously served in the
Peace Corps, Laura worked at a non-profit, Julie served on the Board of an
educational non-profit for low-income students, and Parul has worked in
software development with an educational focus.  We are passionate about
Sugar Labs’ mission and are very excited to be working with you!

We will be following this e-mail with our survey. Please feel free to
contact us with any questions.

Sincerely,

Alexandra Fallon (afal...@mit.edu)
Laura Guaglianone (lguag...@mit.edu)

[Sugar-devel] Introduction and query about Github repos of some activities

[Muskan Lalit]

Hey everyone,

This is Muskan Lalit, a 2nd year CS undergraduate. This is my first time
mailing an entire mailing list but the community has seemed very warm to
newcomers so I've finally gathered the courage to do this.
I am really interested in working with SugarLabs with the Sugarizer Desktop
application. As I was exploring the application, I found some
issues/enhancements that can be done with some activities that I would like
to work with but I can't seem to find the GitHub repos for the same like
the Sprint Math Activity.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

[Sugar-devel] Introduction | Interest in Sugarizer Project | Doubts regarding build server setup

[Manraj Singh]

Hello community members,

I'm Manraj Singh, studying in Netaji Subhas Institute Of Technology(Delhi
University). I'm an Open Source Enthusiast and have previously contributed
to jQuery, Mozilla and Privly. I also have prior experience in working for
startups like Zomato and Refiral and have a good competitve coding profile.

I'm interested in working on "Sugarizer Server Dashboard" project for
Google Sumer Of Code, 2016 and currently getting server to work after
cloning the repository. I have loads of experience in Php, JS, Python and
Web Development and have worked on similar project before.

I'm facing an issue. I have reached step "Run MongoDB and Sugarizer Server"
as mentioned here
https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer/blob/master/README.md#server but it is
exiting with error:

```
about to fork child process, waiting until server is ready for connections.
forked process: 28417
all output going to: /home/manrajsingh/mongo.log
ERROR: child process failed, exited with error number 100
```
Please help, as StackOverflow answers don't seem to work as well.

Welcom Muskan.

The Sprint Math activity is embedded in the Sugarizer repository.

https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer/tree/master/activities/SprintMath.activity

Relevant data in the same repository can be found with "git grep
Sprint".

Or you could use GitHub to search for org.sugarlabs.SprintMath

For how to contribute to Sugarizer, see;

Hello! It's nice to meet you, Manraj! I'm a web developer in San
Francisco of the US. I saw your message in IRC, so you can ping me there
if it's easier for you. I've heard feedback that the server setup
instructions don't always work and they're structured more like you
would for deployment rather than development. Hopefully with your help
we can make them a bit better.

I assume this is from after running the following step?

$ sudo mongod --fork --port 27018 --logpath /home/root/mongo.log

Exit 100 is an unhandled exception in mongo, the database. Can you post
the log from /home/manrajsingh/mongo.log ?

Also, after you post the logs, would you try this command instead?

   $ mkdir ~/mongodb
   $ mongod --dbpath /home/manrajsingh/mongodb --port 27018 --logpath 
/home/manrajsingh/mongo.log

Finally, what distro are you using?

Hey Aaron! Nice to meet you too! Thank you for such prompt response.

I'm not sure of your IRC name. Please share it with me.

Yes, I was facing this issue after running the following step:

$ sudo mongod --fork --port 27018 --logpath /home/root/mongo.log

But now, it got fix itself after restarting just now. I will still share
the logs when I got this error.

These seem to be working. No error while running them.
I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 64bit.
