Re: [Sugar-devel] adding printing support to the journal

Tomeu, Your last argument was very strong."[00:10] iwikiwi: it's ok for gtk print to depend on cups, the important part is that we don't depend on filters being present so printing can happen" the overhead involved is high with cups-pdf... Is it difficult to even get the default filters installed

Hey All, Thanks for the help getting an AP running yesterday:) I got my laptop to dual boot as an ejabberd server and then as a school server. I connected my XO via a usb to ethernet adapter. The next step is to add 1 or more wireless APs. What would you recommend to run a demo for a room of 10

Hi Lucian, Tomeu Vizoso also I pretend to use gears in my project (Karma), so, I would like to help you with packaging it. Lucian, as you I have no experience with rpm, but I think in this way we can do it faster. felipe -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/webified-and-go

Re: [Sugar-devel] webified and google gears

I don't have experience with rpm, but since much of the work is already done, I guess packaging it wouldn't be a problem. Especially since it would only be necessary after the SSB actually works, although earlier can't hurt. 2009/4/14 Tomeu Vizoso : > On Tue, Apr 14, 2009 at 21:42, David Van Assch

Re: [Sugar-devel] USB stick advice

My first order recommendation is "don't use dd to blast an image over the existing partition map". The problem with doing so is that it wrecks the factory partition layout. I strongly suspect that said factory layout is, on many sticks, optimized for the characteristics of the stick's internal

[Sugar-devel] webified and google gears

Hi, I like your proposal because focuses on a problem interesting to the Sugar community and because proposes a solution that is reasonable enough to be implemented in the GSoC timeframe. But the mention of google gears concerns me a bit, since no distribution that I know is packaging it and beca

Re: [Sugar-devel] A bot activity for sugar

Sounds like cool idea. Just some issues you may run into. IIRC, most of pyglet uses OpenGL, which would require hardware that most of what Sugar runs on doesn't have (XOs, netbooks) or Mesa, which may not be fast enough. Pygame is already a Sugar dependency, but combining pygame with pyGTK in a

Yep, python is an amazing scripting language in itself though (and there are a couple of skeletal code lying on the net), there is implementation still remaining , for instance seen, karma, and msg passing. A day or two and it will be done. We better not deviate from the topic though :p >On Tue, A

Lucian, that would be awesome. Maybe we can dev this as a combination. If we get in and get through this, post GSoC at sugar is going to be amazing fun. The idea kinda stemmed off while I've been developing a bot for irc in python, I was trying to make a female pair for xobot. >On Tue, Apr 14, 200

I definitely like this idea. It is a fun way for kids to provide information services such as technical support. I would give it a simple eliza-like engine and let the kids go crazy with it. Of course, should you be accepted for GSoC, your primary responsibility would be to your project... Jameso
