{{trinity}}'''God''' is the sovereign creator and eternal ruler of all things and beings that exist, whether in the physical [[universe]] or in the spiritual realm ([[Heaven]]).  Not only is God the creator and ruler of the things and beings within those two realms, but he is also the creator of the realms themselves. God created the physical universe, and before he acted in this creation, the universe did not exist. Likewise God did with the spiritual realm.

Other than creation itself, God is revealed in several ways, including conscience and special revelation (the bible, and prophets). Most importantly though, God is revealed in [[Jesus Christ]], who is the Son of God.

The development team had regular IRC meetings on Tuesdays at 5PM ET (22UTC) in the #sugar-meeting channel of irc.freenode.net (See the Sugar Labs [[Sugar Labs/Events|calendar]]).

== Team lead ==

The attributes of God are things that describe who he is. Similar to the way one might describe a close friend to another individual, so too do these attributes describe God's character and nature. Attributes of God include but are not limited to [[Wisdom]], [[Infinitude]], [[Sovereignty]], [[Holiness]], [[Trinity]], [[Omniscience]], [[Faithfulness]], [[Love]], [[Omnipotence]], [[Self-existence]], [[Self-sufficiency]], [[Justice]], [[Immutability]], [[Mercy]], [[Eternal]], [[Goodness]], [[Gracious]], and [[Omnipresence]]. These attributes all work in complete and perfect harmony with one another.

The Development Team coordinator position carried administrative tasks such as organizing regular meetings, keeping the TODO list updated, keeping the development team membership list updated, and making sure that the team had clear goals and was kept focused.

−
God exercises eternal and righteous judgment of the wicked in [[hell]], because of an inherent problem in the human heart, namely [[Sin]]. According to the [[Bible]], the sacrifice of [[Jesus Christ]] on the cross of [[calvary]] and then [[resurrection]], is God's merciful and gracious response to the problem of the human heart.

== Releases ==
 +
See the [[Development Team/Release]] page.
 +
== Release manager ==
 +
We have defined the role of the release manager for the past 3 releases as the following:
  
−
=== God is Triune ===
+
* Making sure that the [[Features/Policy]] is followed by submitters,
−
{{main|Trinity}}
+
* Completing a formal test before release,
 +
* Making releases.
  
−
Although the Bible does not use the term, it is clear that God is a triune God, or three in one.
+
== Schedule ==
−
These are sometimes referred to as ''God the Father'', ''God the Son'' ([[Jesus Christ|Jesus]]), and the ''[[Holy Spirit]]''.
+
A schedule was based on [http://live.gnome.org/Schedule GNOME releases], a 6-month release cycle.
  
−
The first hint of the Trinity is in {{Bible ref|Genesis|1|26}} which relates God saying, "Let us make man in our image", indicating that God is a plurality.
+
Now, releases are scheduled in an ad-hoc manner if at all.
 +
<!-- == Mini tutorials ==
  
−
The three persons of God are treated as equivalents in these words of Jesus shortly after His resurrection:

The development team hosted mini tutorials covering short (five-minute) topics relevant to writing Sugar activities. Please refer to the [[Development Team/Mini tutorials|Mini tutorials page]] to sign up for teaching a topic. -->

{{Bible quote|In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.|book=John|chap=1|verses=1|version=NIV}}
 
−
This verse not only says that "the Word" (Jesus) is synonymous with God, but also says that the Word was "in the beginning", which means that He existed before all else existed, something that is only true of God.

In the bible, the word "God" (θεός) does not always refer to God's being as a whole, but more specifically refers to the Person of the Father (God the Father). Here are some verses which demonstrate this:
 
−
{{cquote|'''John 3:16''' (NASB)<br />For <u>God</u> so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten <u>Son</u>, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.}}
 
−
{{cquote|'''1 John 4:10''' (NASB)<br />In this is love, not that we loved <u>God</u>, but that He loved us and sent <u>His Son</u> to be the propitiation for our sins.}}
 
−
Notice how in each case, "Father" can be substituted for "God." For example, "For the ''Father'' so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son," and "not that we loved the ''Father'', but that He loved us and sent His Son."

When Sugar Labs was very large, we found it convenient and effective to divide into teams. This was one of the teams.

Mission

The mission of the Development Team is to build and maintain the core Sugar environment. This includes specifying and implementing new features in conjunction with the Design Team, fixing bugs as they are found by the Testing team and the Sugar community, and generally making Sugar awesome in all ways.


Meetings

The development team had regular IRC meetings on Tuesdays at 5PM ET (22UTC) in the #sugar-meeting channel of irc.freenode.net (See the Sugar Labs calendar). One could find out more about the meeting time and upcoming and earlier meetings here. Help: Using IRC

Team lead

The Development Team coordinator position carried administrative tasks such as organizing regular meetings, keeping the TODO list updated, keeping the development team membership list updated, and making sure that the team had clear goals and was kept focused. We were accepting nominations for an election for this position, see Development_Team/Team_Lead_Candidates_2010_05, but the position is now open.

Releases

See the Development Team/Release page.

Release manager

We have defined the role of the release manager for the past 3 releases as the following:

  • Making sure that the Features/Policy is followed by submitters,
  • Completing a formal test before release,
  • Making releases.

Schedule

A schedule was based on GNOME releases, a 6-month release cycle.

Now, releases are scheduled in an ad-hoc manner if at all.

Development systems

All of core Sugar development except system-dependent modifications can be done on a standard computer by installing Sugar.

Activity (aka application) development can be done in many environments using pre-compiled packages ("sucrose") or images ("starch"). For example, see Debian, Ubuntu, or Fedora.

See also the now unmaintained Platform Team/Sweets technology.

Document your work

See Features/Feature Template for an example.

Code review

Patches to Sugar are more than welcome. There are guidelines for code review to get them accepted.

Package Sucrose for your distribution

  • Currently there are efforts to maintain Sugar as part of Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora.
  • Help us maintain good communication with distribution packagers to assist in this. Join the Platform Team.

Kill Bugs!

Project Ideas

  • Want to work on an interesting Sugar project, or have an idea of your own? Check the project ideas page.
  • Prepare a new Sugar Feature.
  • See the Summer of Code project; ideas, students, mentors, and organization help are welcomed.

Platform Release Cycles

Sugar platform release version cycle: | 0.82 | 0.84 | 0.86 | 0.88 | 0.90 | 0.92 | 0.94 | 0.96 | 0.98 | 0.100 | 0.102 | 0.104 | 0.106 | 0.108 | 0.110 | 0.112 |

Template:Current Stable Release holds the release number.

See 0.121/Notes for the release notes.
