Dear Sugar developers,
The Terminal Activity is going to get a new version release in the
very near future. As you know, this is a core activity providing
access to the Linux command line. It used to have very few, very
simple, but very important strings.

Actually not. The problem is that I really believe the deployed system
needs to be free, meaning the deployment needs to pay no subscription
fees or royalties to continue to use the device. Microsoft (and other
vendors) suffer from the buy once model. All of them are trying to find
a way to

Our need is a deployable device - one that can be purchased in
quantities of 30+.
If we develop a technique to install Sugar on such a device, that can be
done for all of them at
the time of deployment. So, if anyone can find a suitable tablet with a
manageable price (less than $100)

Thanks, Walter
Beautifully said.

Back in 2006, when choice was to use C++, C, Qt or Gtk, or even
php-gtk (!), one side said use C because we had it now, it would work,
and work really fast.
Python was chosen because it worked, and was easily accessible for
modification by the learner.
Silly, thought I, 'cause who uses Python

Sugar is not a technology. And the Sugar desktop's age is less than git,
javascript, C, HTML, DNS, IPv6, and lots of other things. If there is one

That is the 'great hack' I referred to earlier - I think its copyleft-level
clever stuff :)

I'm going to land squarely in the middle on this issue.
I agree with Sam that what we have to offer in the world of a GNU/Linux
desktop is far far better than any alternatives I have seen. The
opportunity for growth there is demonstrably great. We have pretty decent
offerings in Fedora, Debian,
My dream is that someone ports gnu/linux to run on low-cost tablets.
Rabi Karmacharya, with lots of experience, believes we need at least a
10in screen.
I think the tablet needs to be in a leather (or substantially
ruggedized) case with a keyboard (wired usb or wireless).

My apologies. I am new to this and have made a lot of mistakes. However,
I don't believe it is fair to accuse me of 'hiding' anything.

James,
I am not sure how NIH fits. I am completely new to the SLOBs

assigned this task by the SLOBs at my first meeting in February.
My point, clearly, is that this proposal needs to be evaluated by the

Sounds like an NIH, not invented here, response. Very negative.
If there are concerns, engage an independent local auditor to do due
diligence on the proposal.
