Revision as of 04:34, 6 June 2010
I hope this collection will get updated along with the resources discussed on our email list.
- SOAS & Builds
- http://spins.fedoraproject.org/soas/ - Sugar on a Stick (SOAS) is now an official Fedora Spin. This means Fedora 13 and beyond provide the newest versions of Sugar, however deployments of XOs are currently using F11 or F9 based builds. Toaster is targeting full support for F11 and F9 right now.
- For Ubuntu machines until the Ubuntu Sugarteam make more progress here is the advice I got on how to run Sugar with Virtualbox.
- Key References
- Reading python code of activities in any Sugar environment, on an XO, using Sugar on a Stick or using the above virtualbox environment will be helpful in learning how to create our own.
- http://en.flossmanuals.net/ActivitiesGuideSugar - the best resource so far.
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAJq02rCA8s - an excellent PyCon 2008 Activity creation overview
- http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activity_Team/Resources
- Python docs are quite good as references and for tutorials.
- I found a video series that led me to this video of Nicholas Negroponte from TED
- XO 1.5 Specific
- Disassembly and some electrical tape is required to prevent damage to the wifi cards of the XO 1.5 we received.
- Tools & Reference
- http://git.sugarlabs.org/about/faq is useful in changing git:// to gitorious@ when 'push'ing like I did
- http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=790 - Newer Vim syntax highlight for your ~/.vim/syntax/ folder
- advice on bugs: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html is a useful resource yet from a very focused viewpoint.
- more advice on bugs: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
- kernel advice on bugs: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/lkml/reporting-bugs.html
- ToDo
- file a bug advertising the Activity is ready for translation using Pootle, then make sure to run ./setup.py genpot every time a new string is added and ./setup.py fix_manifest to keep MANIFEST up to date, especially before a release.
