Summary

A customizable platform based on Sugar Learning Environment which is intended to be a basis for downstream distributions. The targeting audience for this platform is edu distributors and deployments who might be interested in:

  • Solid content sharing system, Sugar Network;
  • Getting feedback from the field;
  • Provide remote educational and technical support using Sugar Network's capabilities; that are especially needed in offline scenario;
  • Support offline scenario;
  • Centralized gathering of usage statistics;
  • Support heterogeneous deployments, i.e., not only XO laptops.

Components

Base software is the foundation to start exploring the rest of the system. It will be accessible from Sweets Distribution native packages. Repositories of packaged software will be provided for all supported platforms and can be used as-is on top of existing operating system, e.g., GNU/Linux distribution for regular desktops, or OLPC OS for XO laptops.
This class of software is based on Sugar Network, with master services hosted on Sugar Labs resources. It provides a broad variety of content, such as Sugar activities, artifacts derived from Sugar activities, books, etc., and the community social activity centered around this content. It is the common information forum to embrace all participants. Software provided on this level, in comparison to Base software, will be supported out of native packages.
Deployment scenarios is a set of solutions adapting all the previous components in order to support differing Sugar deployment scenarios. For example, "Keep the LTS releases for an Operating System and its Base software", or "Provide tools to sort out Content to make it useful for specific deployment needs".

Downstream distributions

  • The Hexoquinasa project created by Peruvian community to support Sugar Learning Platform deployments.
