== Kohonen Self Organising Maps ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:SOM_legend.jpg|thumb|172px|Legend]]<br />
Self Organising Maps (SOMs) can act as 2d spatial summariser visualisations of multidimensional data. In the maps shown here, text distance metrics are generated from the weekly/monthly content on some of the more active mailing lists. Using a geographic like landscape metaphor, the height (colour gradient) indicates features with strong associations to all other features; proximity represents association between specific features (e.g. related terms), and label size indicates guide to basic frequency of a feature. There are many "correct" 2d map layouts for the same set of data (due to the multidimensional nature of the data), each map generation will usually settle into a slightly different set of local minima, but the associations are no less valid for each. After removing linguistic junk words, and word stemming, the maps currently pick the weeks/months top ~200 features by frequency. Each is a continuous, tillable surface and wraps around north/south and east/west (surface of a torus); so if you find an interesting label to one side, remember to check it's neighbours on the opposite side.<br />
<br />
== What Do They Show? ==<br />
<br />
Well, you could just treat them like tag clouds, showing the top 200 word features used on the list for a given week/month, but the maps also hold spacial information. Word features that appear close together on the map were used closely (on average) in text content from the list. A height metaphor is also used to indicate the features with the strongest mean associations - the map auto centres on the highest pink peak features, these words have the strongest associations with all the rest of the features on the map; word features in the blue and green areas have weaker mean associations relative to the pink highs, but should not be considered negatively as they are still in the top ~200 terms, and will often be tightly associated with surrounding neighbours.<br />

=Running Linux Applications Under Sugar=<br />
<br />
There are two ways to run Linux applications as Activities under Sugar (meaning you don't need to use Terminal to load them):<br />
*'''Sugar Coating''' - Making Linux apps run under Sugar, but not modifying them to take advantage of Sugar's collaborative capabilities<br />
*'''Sugarizing''' - A fully integrated Linux application, re-engineered to take advantage of Sugar's advanced collaboration abilities<br />
<br />
===Sugar Coating Activities===<br />
<br />
To run Linux apps under Sugar (i.e. making them to run in the Sugar interface, without the collaboration and other Sugar integration programmed into them), read these instructions on [[Running Linux Applications Under Sugar]]. <br />
<br />
In the future, we hope that Sugar will be able to run Linux applications natively without these steps.<br />
<br />
===Sugarizing Activities===<br />
<br />
See [[ActivityTeam]] for information on porting regular applications to run as native Sugar activities.<br />
<br />
=Useful Linux Applications=<br />
<br />
===VLC Media Player===<br />
The VLC media player is a highly portable multimedia player for various audio and video formats (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, mp3, flv, avi, ogg, ...) as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. It can also be used as a server to stream in unicast or multicast in IPv4 or IPv6 on a high-bandwidth network.; the VLC Player is considered to be better by some users then MPlayer because it offer more settings, options and features. There is also no need to run it from Terminal. Read [[Activity_VLC]] to learn how to install it.<br />
<br />
===Seamonkey===<br />
SeaMonkey has inherited the successful all-in-one concept of the original Netscape Communicator and continues that product line based on the modern, cross-platform architecture provided by the Mozilla project.<br />
<br />
* The Internet browser at the core of the SeaMonkey suite uses the same rendering engine as its sibling Mozilla Firefox, with popular features like tabbed browsing, popup blocking, find as you type and a lot of other functionality for a smooth web experience.<br />
* SeaMonkey's Mail and Newsgroups client shares lots of code with Mozilla Thunderbird and features adaptive Junk mail filtering, labels and mail views, multiple accounts, S/MIME, address books with LDAP support and is ready for both private and corporate use.<br />
* Additonal components include an easy-to-use HTML Editor, the ChatZilla IRC chat application and web development tools like a DOM Inspector and a JavaScript debugger.<br />
* If that's still not enough, SeaMonkey can be extended with numerous Add-Ons that provide additional functionality and customization for a complete Internet experience.<br />
<br />
Seamonkey can be Sugar-coated.<br />
<br />
===Midnight Commander===<br />
Midnight Commander is a text-mode file manager. It is easily Sugar-coated for access from the Activities panel.[http://www.ibiblio.org/mc/images/mc-panels.png Screenshot]<br />
<br />
===Totem Media Player===<br />
The Totem media player is already installed in the OLPC XO-1. It is the engine that supports media on the system. Out of the box it does not support MP3 music or MPEG-4 video. A free driver can be downloaded to add MP3 compatability. A Sugar-coating can be applied to easily access the program from the Activities panel. <br />
<br />
===[http://tux4kids.alioth.debian.org/ Tux4Kids]===<br />
;TuxType2: [http://tuxtype.sourceforge.net/ TuxType] is a touch typing tutorial/game than can be installed on the OLPC XO-1 using the yum command. A Sugar-coating can be applied to easily access the program from the Activities panel.<br />
;TuxMath: [http://tux4kids.alioth.debian.org/tuxmath.php TuxMath] is an arcade game that helps kids practice their math facts. A Sugar-coating can be applied to easily access the program from the Activities panel.<br />
;TuxPaint: [http://www.tuxpaint.org/ Tux Paint] is a drawing program for children ages 3 to 12. It combines an easy-to-use interface, fun sound effects, and an encouraging cartoon mascot who guides children as they use the program. A Sugar-coating can be applied to easily access the program from the Activities panel. <br />

<br />
Sugar-jhbuild will automatically download the latest of Sugar's dependencies as well as Sugar itself directly from their source repositories, rather than relying on source packages that may have become stale. Below are generic instructions on how to use jhbuild to get up and running with Sugar.<br />
<br />
==Compatible Platforms==<br />
<br />
Jhbuild is quite demanding with regard to the packages and setup for the host Linux distribution. As a result there are only a few Linux distributions which are known to work with it.<br />
<br />
See the distribution specific instructions for information about whether your distribution is currently supported. Other distros which have a recent-enough release (e.g. including the latest stable GNOME release) can be supported if someone is willing to maintain the dependencies for that distro release (in config/sysdeps).<br />
<br />
==Check distro-specific instructions==<br />
<br />
Many distributions have some quirks that need to be catered for and there are different package managing tools in use, so please check the page for your distribution before proceeding:<br />
<br />
* [[/Debian | Debian]]<br />
* [[/Fedora | Fedora]]<br />
* [[/Ubuntu | Ubuntu]]<br />
* [[/Mandriva | Mandriva]]<br />
<br />
==Check out sugar-jhbuild==<br />
<br />
In a suitable directory, execute<br />
<br />
git clone git://git.sugarlabs.org/sugar-jhbuild/mainline.git sugar-jhbuild<br />
<br />
==Build sugar base system and its dependencies==<br />
<br />
Change directory and start the build.<br />
<br />
cd sugar-jhbuild<br />
./sugar-jhbuild update<br />
./sugar-jhbuild depscheck<br />
./sugar-jhbuild build<br />
<br />
=== Dealing with dependencies ===<br />
<br />
''sugar-jhbuild depscheck'' will print a list of required packages. They are part of the distribution you're using and should be installed using your favourite package manager (e.g. aptitude/synaptic for Debian, yum for Fedora).<br />
If you notice that there's a package missing from the depscheck output (i.e. it's required for Sugar to work properly and not installed, but depscheck does not mention it), please [http://dev.sugarlabs.org/newticket?component=sugar-jhbuild&version=Git%20as%20of%20bugdate&type=defect&summary=Need%20package%20%3cinsert%20name%20of%20package%3e%20on%20%3cinsert%20name%20of%20distribution%3e&description=%3cplease%20explain%20why%20you%20think%20the%20package%20is%20required%20%28e.g.%20error%20message%29%3e file a bug] (login required first, but currently no automatic redirection to login page) against the sugar-jhbuild Component in the [http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ SugarLabs bug tracker].<br />
<br />
Some tips:<br />
* hulahop stopped building because I had installed a more recent version of xulrunner on my machine. The workaround was to <code>rm -rf ~/sugar-jhbuild/source/hulahop</code> and then run update and build again.<br />
<br />
== Run Sugar ==<br />
<br />
This command launches the Sugar emulator:<br />
<br />
./sugar-jhbuild run<br />
<br />
To exit the emulator, press Alt-Q.<br />
<br />
== Running multiple instances ==<br />
To run multiple instances of sugar you can start it in the following way:<br />
<br />
SUGAR_PROFILE=2 ./sugar-jhbuild run<br />
<br />
This will create a new profile in ~/.sugar/, i.e. ~/.sugar/2/. You will find logs and configuration for this instance here. The default profile is ~/.sugar/default/<br />
<br />
== Run an individual activity ==<br />
<br />
Within sugar, e.g. in Terminal, this command launches an individual activity for testing:<br />
<br />
sugar-launch [bundle name]<br />
<br />
You will see debug output appearing in Terminal.<br />
<br />
== Configure the mode and resolution of Sugar ==<br />
<br />
You can make Sugar run in a window as well as specify a resolution. Within the sugar-jhbuild/install/share/sugar/shell directory, backup, then edit the python program file '''emulator.py''':<br />
<br />
cd sugar-jhbuild<br />
cp install/bin/sugar-emulator install/bin/sugar-emulator.backup<br />
nano install/bin/sugar-emulator<br />
<br />
Find this piece of code:<br />
<br />
<PRE><br />
cmd = [ 'Xephyr' ]<br />
cmd.append(':%d' % display)<br />
cmd.append('-ac')<br />
<br />
if gtk.gdk.screen_width() < 1200 or gtk.gdk.screen_height() < 900:<br />
cmd.append('-fullscreen')<br />
else:<br />
cmd.append('-screen')<br />
cmd.append('%dx%d' % (1200, 900))<br />
</PRE> <br />
<br />
Comment out the '''if''' and '''else''' instructions, and specify the screen resolution and mode you want (it's important to delete 4 spaces before the "cmd.append" lines):<br />
<br />
<PRE><br />
cmd = [ 'Xephyr' ]<br />
cmd.append(':%d' % display)<br />
cmd.append('-ac')<br />
<br />
# if gtk.gdk.screen_width() < 1200 or gtk.gdk.screen_height() < 900:<br />
# cmd.append('-fullscreen')<br />
# else:<br />
cmd.append('-screen')<br />
cmd.append('%dx%d' % (800, 600))<br />
</PRE><br />
<br />
Sugar will now run on a 800x600 window. This file may be replaced next time you update sugar-jhbuild, and you'll have to do this again. Also note that 800x600 is not an optimal resolution for the window, because the activity circle will be vertically off center. 1024x768 is a more useable resolution.<br />
<br />
== Other commands ==<br />
<br />
JHBuild has several other commands that can be useful for development. You can get an overview with:<br />
<br />
./sugar-jhbuild --help-commands<br />
<br />
A useful sequence of commands for building Sugar, from the [http://mailman.laptop.org/pipermail/sugar/2007-February/001352.html Sugar mailing list]: (Note that build will update first anyway, so run update separately if you want to see what changed more easily.)<br />
<br />
./sugar-jhbuild update<br />
./sugar-jhbuild build<br />
./sugar-jhbuild run<br />
<br />
=== If update and build don't work ===<br />
<br />
In May 2008 there were some changes that broke updates on sugar-jhbuild. A version from before this date cannot update or build after this date; the symptoms are various, but generally include errors which mention the "build-scripts" directory. You need to rebuild from scratch in a new jhbuild directory. Something like the following:<br />
<br />
cd ..<br />
mv sugar-jhbuild sugar-jhbuild.old<br />
git-clone git://dev.laptop.org/sugar-jhbuild<br />
<br />
then, to save bandwidth, move the tar files from your old version:<br />
<br />
mkdir sugar-jhbuild/source<br />
mv sugar-jhbuild.old/source/*.tar* sugar-jhbuild/source<br />
<br />
then build:<br />
<br />
cd sugar-jhbuild<br />
./sugar-jhbuild build<br />
<br />
You may then also see some new dependencies; see the relevant instructions above. <br />
<br />
=== From within Sugar ===<br />
Once you have Sugar running, here are some useful commands:<br />
*'''Alt+Shift+F''' makes the frame appear and disappear<br />
*'''Ctrl-Q''' quits an activity<br />
*'''Alt+Shift+Q''' quits Sugar<br />
*'''Alt+Shift+O''' opens the search<br />
*'''Alt+Shift+R''' rotates the screen<br />
<br />
=== Creating an xsession for Sugar-jhbuild ===<br />
Create the file /usr/share/xsessions/sugar-jhbuild.desktop with the following content:<br />
<br />
[Desktop Entry]<br />
Encoding=UTF-8<br />
Name=Sugar jhbuild<br />
GenericName=Sugar<br />
Exec=/usr/bin/sugar-jhbuild<br />
Type=Application<br />
<br />
Create the file /usr/bin/sugar-jhbuild with the following content:<br />
<br />
#!/bin/sh<br />
export GTK2_RC_FILES=/home/walter/sugar-jhbuild/install/share/sugar/data/sugar-xo.gtkrc<br />
exec /home/walter/sugar-jhbuild/sugar-jhbuild run dbus-launch /home/walter/sugar-jhbuild/install/bin/sugar-shell<br />
<br />
where you substitute the path of wherever you installed sugar-jhbuild for "/home/walter"<br />
<br />
== Customize ==<br />
<br />
To customize the build create a configuration file, named ''.sugar.jhbuildrc'', in your home directory.<br />
<br />
=== Write access to the repositories ===<br />
<br />
If you have write access to the repositories you can add this (if your login name happens to be marco):<br />
repos['gnome.org'] = ':ext:marco@cvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome'<br />
repos['mozilla.org'] = ':ext:marco%gnome.org@cvs.mozilla.org:/cvsroot'<br />
repos['dev.laptop.org'] = 'git+ssh://marco@dev.laptop.org/git/'<br />
repos['dev.laptop.org/projects'] = 'git+ssh://marco@dev.laptop.org/git/projects/'<br />

Sugar-jhbuild will automatically download the latest of Sugar's dependencies as well as Sugar itself directly from their source repositories, rather than relying on source packages that may have become stale. Below are generic instructions on how to use jhbuild to get up and running with Sugar.<br />
<br />
==Compatible Platforms==<br />
<br />
Jhbuild is quite demanding with regard to the packages and setup for the host Linux distribution. As a result there are only a few Linux Distributions which are known to work with it.<br />
<br />
Distros supported by the development community are Debian unstable, Fedora Rawhide, Fedora 10, and Ubuntu 8.10. Other distros which have a recent-enough release (e.g. including the latest stable GNOME release) can be supported if someone is willing to maintain the dependencies for that distro release (in config/sysdeps).<br />
<br />
==Checkout sugar-jhbuild==<br />
<br />
In a suitable directory, execute<br />
<br />
git-clone git://git.sugarlabs.org/sugar-jhbuild/mainline.git sugar-jhbuild<br />
<br />
==Build sugar base system and its dependencies==<br />
<br />
Change directory and start the build.<br />
<br />
cd sugar-jhbuild<br />
git-pull<br />
./sugar-jhbuild update<br />
./sugar-jhbuild build<br />
<br />
=== Dealing with dependencies ===<br />
<br />
At some point during running ''sugar-jhbuild update'' or ''sugar-jhbuild build'' you may be interrupted by an error listing some dependencies you don't have. The build will pause, and you'll see, among the text on your screen, something like this:<br />
<br />
No package '<packagename>' found<br />
<br />
Usually this means it's looking for the <packagename>-dev. Install that package. (For instance, to fix a "No package 'libsoup2.4' found" error, you'd install libsoup2.4-dev.<br />
<br />
If that doesn't work, here are some further notes:<br />
<br />
* If you're given a list of packages that aren't installed, simply install them according to your distribution's package manager (yum, apt-get, etc.) and then try re-running the sugar-jhbuild command again.<br />
* For the base packages, you may be able to use the binary packages from your GNU distribution instead of building them from scratch. Check the [[:Category:Installing Sugar|Installing]] or [[:Category:Linux distributions|Linux]] categories for specific distro info.<br />
* You may have some issues with penguintv on ubuntu, just interrupt the pull with a CTRL+C, open a shell, repeat the command manually, and accept the certificate permanently.<br />
* One other fix that I had to do was to export GTK2_RC_FILES=~/src/olpc/sugar-jhbuild/build/share/themes/sugar/gtk-2.0/gtkrc<br />
and also symlink build/share/icons/sugar to build/share/icons/hicolor. These two steps may not be necessary, but they made things work on my Ubuntu installation as of March 31, 2008. [[User:Blaketh|Blaketh]] 03:08, 31 March 2008 (EDT)<br />
<br />
==Run Sugar==<br />
<br />
This command launches the Sugar emulator:<br />
<br />
./sugar-jhbuild run<br />
<br />
To exit the emulator, press Alt-Q.<br />
<br />
== Running multiple instances==<br />
To run multiple instances of sugar you can start it in the following way:<br />
<br />
SUGAR_PROFILE=2 ./sugar-jhbuild run<br />
<br />
This will create a new profile in ~/.sugar/, i.e. ~/.sugar/2/. You will find logs and configuration for this instance here. The default profile is ~/.sugar/default/<br />
<br />
== Run an individual activity ==<br />
<br />
Within sugar, e.g. in Terminal, this command launches an individual activity for testing:<br />
<br />
sugar-launch [bundle name]<br />
<br />
You will see debug output appearing in Terminal.<br />
<br />
== Configure the mode and resolution of Sugar ==<br />
<br />
You can make Sugar run in a window as well as specify a resolution. Within the sugar-jhbuild/install/share/sugar/shell directory, backup, then edit the python program file '''emulator.py''':<br />
<br />
cd sugar-jhbuild<br />
cp install/share/sugar/shell/emulator.py install/share/sugar/shell/emulator.py.backup<br />
nano install/share/sugar/shell/emulator.py<br />
<br />
Find this piece of code:<br />
<br />
<PRE><br />
cmd = [ 'Xephyr' ]<br />
cmd.append(':%d' % display)<br />
cmd.append('-ac')<br />
<br />
if gtk.gdk.screen_width() < 1200 or gtk.gdk.screen_height() < 900:<br />
cmd.append('-fullscreen')<br />
else:<br />
cmd.append('-screen')<br />
cmd.append('%dx%d' % (1200, 900))<br />
</PRE> <br />
<br />
Comment out the '''if''' and '''else''' instructions, and specify the screen resolution and mode you want (it's important to delete 4 spaces before the "cmd.append" lines):<br />
<br />
<PRE><br />
cmd = [ 'Xephyr' ]<br />
cmd.append(':%d' % display)<br />
cmd.append('-ac')<br />
<br />
# if gtk.gdk.screen_width() < 1200 or gtk.gdk.screen_height() < 900:<br />
# cmd.append('-fullscreen')<br />
# else:<br />
cmd.append('-screen')<br />
cmd.append('%dx%d' % (800, 600))<br />
</PRE><br />
<br />
Sugar will now run on a 800x600 window. This file may be replaced next time you update sugar-jhbuild, and you'll have to do this again. Also note that 800x600 is not an optimal resolution for the window, because the activity circle will be vertically off center. 1024x768 is a more useable resolution.<br />
<br />
== Other commands ==<br />
<br />
JHBuild has several other commands that can be useful for development. You can get an overview with:<br />
<br />
./sugar-jhbuild --help-commands<br />
<br />
A useful sequence of commands for building Sugar, from the [http://mailman.laptop.org/pipermail/sugar/2007-February/001352.html Sugar mailing list]: (Note that build will update first anyway, so run update separately if you want to see what changed more easily.)<br />
<br />
./sugar-jhbuild update<br />
./sugar-jhbuild build<br />
./sugar-jhbuild run<br />
<br />
=== If update and build don't work ===<br />
<br />
In May 2008 there were some changes that broke updates on sugar-jhbuild. A version from before this date cannot update or build after this date; the symptoms are various, but generally include errors which mention the "build-scripts" directory. You need to rebuild from scratch in a new jhbuild directory. Something like the following:<br />
<br />
cd ..<br />
mv sugar-jhbuild sugar-jhbuild.old<br />
git-clone git://dev.laptop.org/sugar-jhbuild<br />
<br />
then, to save bandwidth, move the tar files from your old version:<br />
<br />
mkdir sugar-jhbuild/source<br />
mv sugar-jhbuild.old/source/*.tar* sugar-jhbuild/source<br />
<br />
then build:<br />
<br />
cd sugar-jhbuild<br />
./sugar-jhbuild build<br />
<br />
You may then also see some new dependencies; see the relevant instructions above. <br />
<br />
=== From within Sugar ===<br />
Once you have Sugar running, here are some useful commands:<br />
*'''Alt+Shift+F''' makes the frame appear and disappear<br />
*'''Ctrl-Q''' quits an activity<br />
*'''Alt+Shift+Q''' quits Sugar<br />
*'''Alt+Shift+O''' opens the search<br />
*'''Alt+Shift+R''' rotates the screen<br />
<br />
=== Creating an xsession for Sugar-jhbuild ===<br />
Create the file /usr/share/xsessions/sugar-jhbuild.desktop with the following content:<br />
<br />
[Desktop Entry]<br />
Encoding=UTF-8<br />
Name=Sugar jhbuild<br />
GenericName=Sugar<br />
Exec=/usr/bin/sugar-jhbuild<br />
Type=Application<br />
<br />
Create the file /usr/bin/sugar-jhbuild with the following content:<br />
<br />
#!/bin/sh<br />
export GTK2_RC_FILES=/home/walter/sugar-jhbuild/install/share/sugar/data/sugar-xo.gtkrc<br />
exec /home/walter/sugar-jhbuild/sugar-jhbuild run dbus-launch /home/walter/sugar-jhbuild/install/bin/sugar-shell<br />
<br />
where you substitute the path of wherever you installed sugar-jhbuild for "/home/walter"<br />
<br />
== Customize ==<br />
<br />
To customize the build create a configuration file, named ''.sugar.jhbuildrc'', in your home directory.<br />
<br />
=== Write access to the repositories ===<br />
<br />
If you have write access to the repositories you can add this (if your login name happens to be marco):<br />
repos['gnome.org'] = ':ext:marco@cvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome'<br />
repos['mozilla.org'] = ':ext:marco%gnome.org@cvs.mozilla.org:/cvsroot'<br />
repos['dev.laptop.org'] = 'git+ssh://marco@dev.laptop.org/git/'<br />
repos['dev.laptop.org/projects'] = 'git+ssh://marco@dev.laptop.org/git/projects/'<br />

<br />
Sugar-jhbuild will automatically download the latest of Sugar's dependencies as well as Sugar itself directly from their source repositories, rather than relying on source packages that may have become stale. Below are generic instructions on how to use jhbuild to get up and running with Sugar.<br />
<br />
==Compatible Platforms==<br />
<br />
Jhbuild is quite demanding with regard to the packages and setup for the host Linux distribution. As a result there are only a few Linux Distributions which are known to work with it.<br />
<br />
Distros supported by the development community are Debian unstable, Fedora Rawhide, Fedora 10, and Ubuntu 8.10. Other distros which have a recent-enough release (e.g. including the latest stable GNOME release) can be supported if someone is willing to maintain the dependencies for that distro release (in config/sysdeps).<br />
<br />
==Checkout sugar-jhbuild==<br />
<br />
In a suitable directory, execute<br />
<br />
git-clone git://git.sugarlabs.org/sugar-jhbuild/mainline.git sugar-jhbuild<br />
<br />
==Build sugar base system and its dependencies==<br />
<br />
Change directory and start the build.<br />
<br />
cd sugar-jhbuild<br />
git-pull<br />
./sugar-jhbuild update<br />
./sugar-jhbuild build<br />
<br />
=== Dealing with dependencies ===<br />
<br />
At some point during running ''sugar-jhbuild update'' or ''sugar-jhbuild build'' you may be interrupted by an error listing some dependencies you don't have. The build will pause, and you'll see, among the text on your screen, something like this:<br />
<br />
No package '<packagename>' found<br />
<br />
Usually this means it's looking for the <packagename>-dev. Install that package. (For instance, to fix a "No package 'libsoup2.2' found" error, you'd install libsoup2.2-dev.<br />
<br />
If that doesn't work, here are some further notes:<br />
<br />
* In addition to the dependencies listed, you may want to install the ''gtk-doc-tools'' package (this allowed me to build hippocanvas on Ubuntu Hardy). [[User:Mchua|Mchua]] 22:01, 15 May 2008 (EDT)<br />
* If you're given a list of packages that aren't installed, simply install them according to your distribution's package manager (yum, apt-get, etc.) and then try re-running the sugar-jhbuild command again.<br />
* For the base packages, you may be able to use the binary packages from your GNU distribution instead of building them from scratch. Check the [[:Category:Installing Sugar|Installing]] or [[:Category:Linux distributions|Linux]] categories for specific distro info.<br />
* If you run into an error during ''sugar-jhbuild build'' that looks something like "aclocal: macro `AM_PATH_PYTHON' required but not defined" try installing or updating your packages for ''autoconf'' and ''automake'' and running ''sugar-jhbuild build'' again. (worked for me on Ubuntu Hardy) [[User:Mchua|Mchua]] 17:10, 15 May 2008 (EDT)<br />
* You may have some issues with penguintv on ubuntu, just interrupt the pull with a CTRL+C, open a shell, repeat the command manually, and accept the certificate permanently.<br />
* One other fix that I had to do was to export GTK2_RC_FILES=~/src/olpc/sugar-jhbuild/build/share/themes/sugar/gtk-2.0/gtkrc<br />
and also symlink build/share/icons/sugar to build/share/icons/hicolor. These two steps may not be necessary, but they made things work on my Ubuntu installation as of March 31, 2008. [[User:Blaketh|Blaketh]] 03:08, 31 March 2008 (EDT)<br />
<br />
==Run Sugar==<br />
<br />
This command launches the Sugar emulator:<br />
<br />
./sugar-jhbuild run<br />
<br />
To exit the emulator, press Alt-Q.<br />
<br />
== Running multiple instances==<br />
To run multiple instances of sugar you can start it in the following way:<br />
<br />
SUGAR_PROFILE=2 ./sugar-jhbuild run<br />
<br />
This will create a new profile in ~/.sugar/, i.e. ~/.sugar/2/. You will find logs and configuration for this instance here. The default profile is ~/.sugar/default/<br />
<br />
== Run an individual activity ==<br />
<br />
Within sugar, e.g. in Terminal, this command launches an individual activity for testing:<br />
<br />
sugar-launch [bundle name]<br />
<br />
You will see debug output appearing in Terminal.<br />
<br />
== Configure the mode and resolution of Sugar ==<br />
<br />
You can make Sugar run in a window as well as specify a resolution. Within the sugar-jhbuild/install/share/sugar/shell directory, backup, then edit the python program file '''emulator.py''':<br />
<br />
cd sugar-jhbuild<br />
cp install/share/sugar/shell/emulator.py install/share/sugar/shell/emulator.py.backup<br />
nano install/share/sugar/shell/emulator.py<br />
<br />
Find this piece of code:<br />
<br />
<PRE><br />
cmd = [ 'Xephyr' ]<br />
cmd.append(':%d' % display)<br />
cmd.append('-ac')<br />
<br />
if gtk.gdk.screen_width() < 1200 or gtk.gdk.screen_height() < 900:<br />
cmd.append('-fullscreen')<br />
else:<br />
cmd.append('-screen')<br />
cmd.append('%dx%d' % (1200, 900))<br />
</PRE> <br />
<br />
Comment out the '''if''' and '''else''' instructions, and specify the screen resolution and mode you want (it's important to delete 4 spaces before the "cmd.append" lines):<br />
<br />
<PRE><br />
cmd = [ 'Xephyr' ]<br />
cmd.append(':%d' % display)<br />
cmd.append('-ac')<br />
<br />
# if gtk.gdk.screen_width() < 1200 or gtk.gdk.screen_height() < 900:<br />
# cmd.append('-fullscreen')<br />
# else:<br />
cmd.append('-screen')<br />
cmd.append('%dx%d' % (800, 600))<br />
</PRE><br />
<br />
Sugar will now run on a 800x600 window. This file may be replaced next time you update sugar-jhbuild, and you'll have to do this again. Also note that 800x600 is not an optimal resolution for the window, because the activity circle will be vertically off center. 1024x768 is a more useable resolution.<br />
<br />
== Other commands ==<br />
<br />
JHBuild has several other commands that can be useful for development. You can get an overview with:<br />
<br />
./sugar-jhbuild --help-commands<br />
<br />
A useful sequence of commands for building Sugar, from the [http://mailman.laptop.org/pipermail/sugar/2007-February/001352.html Sugar mailing list]: (Note that build will update first anyway, so run update separately if you want to see what changed more easily.)<br />
<br />
./sugar-jhbuild update<br />
./sugar-jhbuild build<br />
./sugar-jhbuild run<br />
<br />
=== If update and build don't work ===<br />
<br />
In May 2008 there were some changes that broke updates on sugar-jhbuild. A version from before this date cannot update or build after this date; the symptoms are various, but generally include errors which mention the "build-scripts" directory. You need to rebuild from scratch in a new jhbuild directory. Something like the following:<br />
<br />
cd ..<br />
mv sugar-jhbuild sugar-jhbuild.old<br />
git-clone git://dev.laptop.org/sugar-jhbuild<br />
<br />
then, to save bandwidth, move the tar files from your old version:<br />
<br />
mkdir sugar-jhbuild/source<br />
mv sugar-jhbuild.old/source/*.tar* sugar-jhbuild/source<br />
<br />
then build:<br />
<br />
cd sugar-jhbuild<br />
./sugar-jhbuild build<br />
<br />
You may then also see some new dependencies; see the relevant instructions above. <br />
<br />
=== From within Sugar ===<br />
Once you have Sugar running, here are some useful commands:<br />
*'''Alt+Shift+F''' makes the frame appear and disappear<br />
*'''Ctrl-Q''' quits an activity<br />
*'''Alt+Shift+Q''' quits Sugar<br />
*'''Alt+Shift+O''' opens the search<br />
*'''Alt+Shift+R''' rotates the screen<br />
<br />
=== Creating an xsession for Sugar-jhbuild ===<br />
Create the file /usr/share/xsessions/sugar-jhbuild.desktop with the following content:<br />
<br />
[Desktop Entry]<br />
Encoding=UTF-8<br />
Name=Sugar jhbuild<br />
GenericName=Sugar<br />
Exec=/usr/bin/sugar-jhbuild<br />
Type=Application<br />
<br />
Create the file /usr/bin/sugar-jhbuild with the following content:<br />
<br />
#!/bin/sh<br />
export GTK2_RC_FILES=/home/walter/sugar-jhbuild/install/share/sugar/data/sugar-xo.gtkrc<br />
exec /home/walter/sugar-jhbuild/sugar-jhbuild run dbus-launch /home/walter/sugar-jhbuild/install/bin/sugar-shell<br />
<br />
where you substitute the path of wherever you installed sugar-jhbuild for "/home/walter"<br />
<br />
== Customize ==<br />
<br />
To customize the build create a configuration file, named ''.olpc.jhbuildrc'', in your home directory.<br />
<br />
=== Write access to the repositories ===<br />
<br />
If you have write access to the repositories you can add this (if your login name happens to be marco):<br />
repos['gnome.org'] = ':ext:marco@cvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome'<br />
repos['mozilla.org'] = ':ext:marco%gnome.org@cvs.mozilla.org:/cvsroot'<br />
repos['dev.laptop.org'] = 'git+ssh://marco@dev.laptop.org/git/'<br />
repos['dev.laptop.org/projects'] = 'git+ssh://marco@dev.laptop.org/git/projects/'<br />

__NOTOC__<br />
Sugar has a growing community that is ready to help you. Because users and contributors span the globe, a key element to the project is communication. Mailing lists, forums, IRC , Jabber and email provide quick and easy ways to communicate.<br />
<br />
==Mailing Lists==<br />
<br />
The full list of mailing lists is at '''http://lists.sugarlabs.org'''. Sometimes they multiply when one isn't watching. <br />
<br />
A web-view of mailing lists in a fourm-like interface can be found at [http://n2.nabble.com/SugarLabs-f1511649.html Nabble]. Keep in mind that using Nabble has the following limitations:<br />
* Nabble does not support posting to more than one mailing list at a time (cross-posting)<br />
* Nabble does not index all sugar lists<br />
* The authoritive record is on lists.sugarlabs.org<br />
<br />
===General List===<br />
* [http://lists.lo-res.org/mailman/listinfo/its.an.education.project It's an Education Project] - The primary education mailing list (see [[Sugar Labs/SOM#It.27s_An_Education_Project_Mailing_List|Self Organising Map]] archive for an overview of past weeks discussions).<br />
<br />
===Developer Lists===<br />
* [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel Sugar] - For developers (see [[Sugar Labs/SOM#Sugar_Mailing_List|Self Organising Map]] archive for and overview of past months discussions).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
===Starting a new list===<br />
<br />
The best way to start a new mailing list is to begin a discussion on a related list that already exists, and once the discussion becomes active, to ask for a separate list for that topic or that sort of traffic. <br />
<br />
When you have a critical mass of people regularly talking about the same topic, request a mailing list by emailing the following information to IAEP list:<br />
<br />
# The name you want for your mailing list, with alternative names if the first one is taken<br />
# A description of the list, its purpose, and why it's needed (being able to say "we've been talking on this other list for a while, and the discussion has grown too big - see these archive links" is helpful)<br />
# The name/email of the list admin, and of at least one other moderator (minimum one admin and one moderator)<br />
# At least 10 names/emails of people who want to be the initial subscribers<br />
<br />
== Forums ==<br />
===Support Forum=== <br />
* [http://forum.laptop.org/ Support] - The official support forum for G1G1 and OLPC<br />
:total posts 6.887 • Total topics 1.324 • Total members 1.609 22:56, 20 April 2008 (EDT)<br />
<br />
===General Discussion===<br />
* [http://olpcnews.com/forum/ olpcnews] - A popular forum but not frequented by developers<br />
:total posts 20.765 • Total topics 2.332 • Total members 2.754 22:56, 20 April 2008 (EDT)<br />
<br />
== Blogs ==<br />
[http://planet.laptop.org OLPC planet] and [http://planet.sugarlabs.org/ Planet Sugar Labs] - Aggregate a number of popular blogs on Sugar and OLPC. See [[blogs]] for a list of these blogs and instructions on adding more blogs to this feed.<br />
<br />
== IRC Chat ==<br />
Most SL chat takes place on IRC (that's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC Internet Relay Chat]). You can either use a computer based client to log in to IRC (like [[olpc:XOirc|XOirc]] or [[wikipedia:X-Chat|X-Chat]]) or (sugarlabs mibbit thingie here).<br />
<br />
IRC is mainly designed for group communication in discussion 'channels', but allows for personal chat and data transfer as well. <br />
<br />
The SugarLabs Community uses a series of ''channels'' in the '''<tt>irc.freenode.net</tt>''' network. Check {{tl|User irc}} to see how to register your participation in the IRC channels within the wiki, and to find the category where users are registered.<br />
<br />

|- valign="top"<br />
|}<br />
<br />
=== How to use irc channels ===<br />
<br />
# Another web-based chat for all channels is [http://www.mibbit.com mibbit], with nickname: (whatever you like), server: irc.freenode.net, and channel: #olpc-help (or whatever other channel you're trying to get into).<br />
# Some helpful resources are [http://www.mirc.com/irc.html here], and [http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/irctutorial.html this tutorial], which also includes basic commands.<br />
# Learn about IRC etiquette. Try [http://www.ircbeginner.com/ircinfo/etiquette.html here], [http://www.livinginternet.com/r/ru_chatq.htm here], or [http://www.wxwidgets.org/wiki/index.php/IRC_Etiquette here]. <br />
#* For IRC under sugar, install the latest '''[[olpc:XoIRC|XoIRC]]''' activity.<br />
# Connect to one of the above channels, and say hello.<br />
<br />
== Jabber Networks ==<br />
While the OLPC is designed with mesh wireless networking built in (where users can connect to each other without having a central wireless internet router/connection), Sugar users around the world may not be able to connect with others using the platform unless it's through the Internet, since mesh networking relies on a concentration of users (for example, in a classroom, school or business environment).<br />
<br />
Jabber networks link Sugar users to each other in order to chat, interact and collaborate. There are global Sugar Jabber networks, or regional ones hosted by organizations and individuals around the world. You can choose whichever Jabber network you wish to connect to. Connecting Sugar to one of these networks will greatly enhance your Sugar experience.<br />
<br />

*[[Community/A list of Jabber networks around the world]]<br />
<br />
==Video==<br />
* [http://www.olpc.tv OLPC TV] is dedicated to collecting videos related to OLPC. The site needs help recoding videos to play in Gnash, the Free Flash viewer.<br />
* [http://www.dailymotion.com/ Dailymotion] have an OLPC-compatible portal at [http://olpc.dailymotion.com/ olpc.dailymotion.com] with videos encoded with the free OGG Theora/Vorbis codecs, and they have OLPC-relevant content.<br />
<br />

<div>I think this page should show the following information, especially for individuals, but probably also for companies. The info should definitely be on the linked profile, but it would be useful to show it here as well in summary form:<br />
<br />
* What software the person is available to work on: Sugar Core, Activities, Packaging, or perhaps listing more specific things<br />
* What type of features the person can work on, if they are not a generalist<br />
* When the person first got involved with Sugar work<br />
* The person's desired type of work or project<br />
<br />
Basically whatever will make it easier for people who don't know the listed person to connect the right people to the right opportunities...<br />

==Sugar on Windows==<br />
<br />
No one has ported Sugar to Windows (that we know of) but you can run Sugar on Linux in an emulator on top of a Windows System.<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' Alternatively, you can boot your Windows machine with a Sugar LiveCD or LiveUSB—this will enable you to run Sugar without making any modifications to your Windows machine. See [[Supported_systems#Starch]].) <br />
<br />
'''Note:''' The Wine Activity lets you run many Windows applications from within Sugar.<br />
<br />
=== A Sugar installer for Windows ===<br />
Wade Brainerd wrote a simple Sugar installer for Windows:<br />
<br />
[http://dev.laptop.org/~wadeb/OLPC-XO-Software-8.2.0-Setup.exe OLPC-XO-Software-8.2.0-Setup.exe]<br />
<br />
It installs/uninstalls a working Sugar environment (based on Ton van Overbeek's QEMU—See below) with just a few clicks.<br />
<br />
The installer was built using the open source installer creator NSIS (nsis.sourceforge.net). The installer script can be found here:<br />
[http://dev.laptop.org/git/users/wadeb/wininstall/.git wininstall/.git]<br />
<br />
'''Note to build administrators:''' NSIS exists for Linux, so this process of creating Windows installers for Sugar could be automated.<br />
<br />
=== Running Sugar in an emulator ===<br />
* [http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-September/019643.html Tom van Overbeek describes how to run Sugar using QEMU]<br />

<hr />
<div>= Sugar on Ubuntu =<br />
<br />
[[Image:Ubuntu.jpg|right]]The Sugar packages for Ubuntu provide a Sugar environment that is easy to install and can be configured as an X session in gdm or run in a window with sugar-emulator.<br />
<br />
It is a much simpler platform to set up for activity developers than jhbuild, although is not bleeding-edge.<br />
<br />
Sugar on Ubuntu is packaged and maintained by the [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SugarTeam Ubuntu Sugar team], who welcome new contributors to test, document, triage, and make packages.<br />
__TOC__<br />
== Sugar on Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid) ==<br />
<br />
Intrepid, the current Ubuntu release, has Sucrose 0.82 packages synced from [[Community/Distributions/Debian|Debian]].<br />
<br />
=== Installing ===<br />
<br />
Installation instructions:<br />
sudo apt-get install sugar sugar-activities<br />
<br />
=== Running Sugar ===<br />
<br />
Run sugar in a window under a gnome login, using the Applications menu > Other > Sugar Emulator, or running the following in a terminal:<br />
sugar-emulator<br />
<br />
If everything is working fine, you can log into Sugar from the gdm login screen instead of running sugar-emulator.<br />
<!--<br />
The following does not currently work, but should in the future:<br />
Some activities could not be included due to missing dependencies - notably Read and Write. These will be published in the [https://launchpad.net/~sugarteam/+archive Sugar Team PPA] soon, which can be accessed via<br />
sudo -s<br />
echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/sugarteam/ubuntu hardy main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sugar.list<br />
apt-get update <br />
apt-get install sugar sugar-emulator sugar-activities<br />
--><br />
<br />
=== Upgrading ===<br />
<br />
If you are experiencing problems after upgrading from 8.04 (Hardy), please do the following to uninstall the partially-upgraded packages:<br />
sudo apt-get purge sugar sugar-\*<br />
and repeat the installation command outlined above to install only the new packages.<br />
<br />
=== Reporting Bugs ===<br />
<br />
If you need log files for debugging, use the following command in a GNOME terminal ''(not Sugar Terminal)'' to run sugar with debug logs turned on:<br />
SUGAR_LOGGER_LEVEL=debug PRESENCESERVICE_DEBUG=1 sugar-emulator<br />
<br />
This generates log files in the .sugar/default/logs directory under your home directory.<br />
<br />
To report a bug on Sugar or one of the Sugar activities on Ubuntu, use the following steps:<br />
* Go to https://launchpad.net/sucrose which represents all the Sugar components and activities supported in Ubuntu.<br />
* Click on the appropriate component at the bottom of the page. If in doubt, click "Sugar shell" which is the base Sugar component.<br />
* On the resulting page, scroll down to "Packages" and click on the hardy or intrepid package.<br />
* On the resulting page, click on the "Bugs" tab at the top of the page.<br />
* That takes you to a page listing known bugs on the package, and with a red "Report a bug" button.<br />
<br />
Please include any relevant log files in a bug report: activity log files usually are named similarly to "org.laptop.Chat-1.log" (which is the log file for Chat). If you have run the activity multiple times in the current Sugar session, there will be Chat-2, Chat-3, etc so try to include the appropriate one.<br />
<br />
If a problem or bug involves seeing (or not seeing) people in Neighborhood View, or activity sharing/collaboration, please also include presenceservice.log in the bug report.<br />
<br />
'''Please note''': The Ubuntu Sugar team will do their best to provide fixes for bugs, but it does take time to get an updated package uploaded through Ubuntu's [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates Stable Release Updates] process. Where possible we'll suggest a workaround, or provide a fix in the [https://launchpad.net/~sugarteam/+archive Sugar Team PPA] first.<br />

== Sugar on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (hardy) ==<br />
<br />
hardy includes an old version of Sugar, 0.79. You can install the current stable release of Sugar, 0.82, with the instructions below.<br />
<br />
For bug reporting, please follow the instructions above as for intrepid.<br />
<br />
=== Sugar 0.79.0 ===<br />
<br />
'''Old, but included in Hardy'''<br />
<br />
Sugar was packaged in Universe for Hardy (Ubuntu 8.04) by Jani Monoses. The version packaged is 0.79.0, similar to the version in OLPC Release 8.1.0.<br />

<div>= Sugar on Ubuntu =<br />
<br />
[[Image:Ubuntu.jpg|right]]The Sugar packages for Ubuntu provide a Sugar environment that is easy to install and can be configured as an X session in gdm or run in a window with sugar-emulator.<br />
<br />
It is a much simpler platform to set up for activity developers than jhbuild, although is not bleeding-edge.<br />
<br />
Sugar on Ubuntu is packaged and maintained by the [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SugarTeam Ubuntu Sugar team], who welcome new contributors to test, document, triage, and make packages.<br />

== Sugar on Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid) ==<br />
<br />
Intrepid, the current Ubuntu release, has Sucrose 0.82 packages synced from [[Community/Distributions/Debian|Debian]].<br />
<br />
Installation instructions:<br />
sudo apt-get install sugar sugar-activities<br />
<br />
Run sugar in a window under a gnome login, with:<br />
sugar-emulator<br />
<br />
If you need log files for debugging, use the following command:<br />
SUGAR_LOGGER_LEVEL=debug PRESENCESERVICE_DEBUG=1 sugar-emulator<br />
<br />
If everything is working fine, you can log into Sugar from the gdm login screen instead of running sugar-emulator.<br />
<br />
If you are experiencing problems after upgrading from 8.04 (Hardy), please do the following to uninstall the partially-upgraded packages:<br />
sudo apt-get purge sugar sugar-\*<br />
and repeat the installation command outlined above to install only the new packages.<br />
<br />
The following does not currently work, but should in the future:<br />
Some activities could not be included due to missing dependencies - notably Read and Write. These will be published in the [https://launchpad.net/~sugarteam/+archive Sugar Team PPA] soon, which can be accessed via<br />

=== Sugar dependencies ===<br />
<br />
The Sugar interface is based on the GNOME and freedesktop software<br />
stacks, using technologies like Gtk+, dbus, xorg,<br />
matchbox-window-manager and gconf. It is written in Python, making it<br />
easily extended. For the collaboration part, Sugar is using the<br />
telepathy framework.<br />
<br />
The activities depend on technologies like xulrunner for the browser,<br />
abiword for the write activity and squeak for etoys.<br />

<hr />
<div>Please add your thoughts inline on this page, and discuss on the [[Talk:Sugarcamp/Feedback]] page if you need to reach consensus on how to phrase a certain point. Thanks! [[User:Mchua|Mchua]] 06:44, 23 November 2008 (UTC) (Original reflections are a collaboration by Bernie Innocenti, Walter Bender, Tomeu Vizoso, Marco Pesenti Gritti, Ben Schwartz, David Farning, Chris Ball, and Mel Chua.)<br />
<br />
== Awesome ==<br />
<br />
* It happened!<br />
* Lots of people came.<br />
* We met some extraordinary people.<br />
* We have some new partners now.<br />
* We had really nice meeting rooms.<br />
* The TurtleArt portfolio demo was cool!<br />
* The Infrastructure team got "unstuck."<br />
* Bringing people together created a lot of energy.<br />
* We actually can do this [run Sugarcamp]!<br />
* What we have now [in Sugar as a product] is better than what we admit.<br />
* We met existing volunteers.<br />
* We met new volunteers.<br />
* We got to hear very different points of view.<br />
* This week was inspiring!<br />
* We had fun people like Bernie and Yama.<br />
* We stepped forward on technical problems.<br />
* We met [Sugar] deployers like Caroline and Brendan.<br />
* We increased clarity about OLPC funding.<br />
* We got to spend time with colleagues.<br />
* We have a better definition of OLPC vs Sugar Labs responsibilities.<br />
* We got to resolve some issues in person [that we weren't able to resolve online].<br />
* We got a better picture of our social interactions.<br />
* Some people developed a lot as leaders this week, like Bernie stepping up to run Sugarcamp.<br />
* We got to see our own dysfunctional habits.<br />
* Ryan's speech about Sugar Labs solving a very hard problem that is "the future of computing" was inspiring.<br />
* Gregdek standing up and trying to get us all to work together was awesome.<br />
* The OLPC/Sugar Labs umbilical cord was cut.<br />
<br />
== Interesting ==<br />
<br />
* 15 hour days, 6 days in a row... cause people to break down<br />
* We need better organizers than me next time. (said by Bernie)<br />
* One week passes by very quickly!<br />
* Our sessions were conducted in a hybrid format between roundtables and conferences.<br />
* Our schedule was very dynamic.<br />
* There was a mix between OLPC and Sugar Labs discussions.<br />
* Walter was coding instead of listening during some sessions! (kidding)<br />
* This is actually the second Sugarcamp - the first was in Italy about 6 months ago.<br />
* We did not do much hacking.<br />
* Everyone was optimizing their own time during the conference; sometimes this meant not listening to the speaker [and working on their laptop or having side conversations instead].<br />
* "Useful for kids" is our equivalent of "Because I Said So." We say it when we don't want people to argue with us any more.<br />
* We focus when we make something together, like when we took notes together on the whiteboard.<br />
* Dfarning was a good cop.<br />
* If we fix the problem of long-distance collaborators participating in Sugarcamp, we'll also fix the problem of quiet people not talking.<br />
<br />
== Frustrating ==<br />
<br />
* Too many unfocused interruptions.<br />
* The schedule slipped due to untimed talks.<br />
* People escaped points of disagreements.<br />
* The pizza was unreliable.<br />
* Action items didn't come out of technical BS (brainstorms).<br />
* The OLPC roadmap session was frustrating because it didn't leverage the Sugar Labs community.<br />
* Few people were able to contribute.<br />
* The schedule changed a lot.<br />
* At the beginning of the week, there were some difficulties between people.<br />
* There was disrespect between some people.<br />
* Infinite arguments.<br />
* Some people still think there are "sides."<br />
* Premature optimization.<br />
* "Smartest kid in the room" syndrome (a.k.a. Apollo Syndrome)<br />
* Quiet people didn't talk because we didn't ask them what they thought.<br />
* Long distance collaborators had a hard time on the phone.<br />
:* Seconded. As a remote participant, I found it was hard to get attention during sometimes heated conversation. It was hard to stay focussed. It was hard to know what was happening and when (schedule changes etc). --[[User:Morgs|Morgs]] 14:43, 24 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
* The relationship between OLPC and Sugar Labs remains unresolved.<br />
* We didn't go into details on why we get frustrated with each other.<br />
* Good ideas got interrupted by other good ideas.<br />
* Organizing this talk caused a lot of conflict within/with OLPC.<br />
<br />
==Possiblities==<br />
<br />
* Create ongoing conference committee, and assign specific duties well before events (Conf. chair, venue, food, program, speakers, sponsors, A/V, moderators, funding,...)<br />
* Ask for use of World Bank teleconferencing network (80 locations around the world) [I have some experience with this--[[User:Mokurai|Mokurai]] 03:57, 24 November 2008 (UTC)]<br />
* Bigger conference with more people and multiple sessions divided into tracks (some selection from topics like Constructionism, Activities, Glucose, Health, Textbooks, Content, Localization, Translation, Outreach...)<br />
* Bring in teachers, researchers from education schools, subject matter experts, children!,...<br />
* Field trips to schools using XOs</div>Morgshttps://wiki.sugarlabs.org/index.php?title=Marketing_Team/Events/Sugarcamp_Boston_2008/Minutes&diff=11840Marketing Team/Events/Sugarcamp Boston 2008/Minutes2008-11-19T15:10:37Z<p>Morgs: /* Collaboration Brainstorm */</p>
<hr />
<div>== Presence Scalability ==<br />
<br />
=== XS scenario ===<br />
<br />
* Search based interface (Morgan Collett)<br />
<br />
* Shrink memory footprint (Martin Langoff)<br />
<br />
* ODBC ejabberd roaster<br />
<br />
* Web based interface for group management<br />
<br />
* ejabberd (seems) a convincing implementation (so far)<br />
<br />
* ejabberd is very tweakable, configurable, extensible<br />
<br />
* Martin working on it, ready in 6-7 weeks?<br />
<br />
== Global scenario ==<br />
<br />
* Optional feature (privacy, nat, bandwidth...)<br />
<br />
* Jabber server buried in remote control panel<br />
<br />
* Must restart Sugar to change<br />
<br />
<br />
== eBook reader (Chris Rowe, Bernie, Martin Langoff) ==<br />
<br />
* OLE Nepal asked for an application for opening, reading and browsing PDF books<br />
<br />
* OLE Nepal uses a web-based interface to browse for content<br />
<br />
* http://www.icdlbooks.org/<br />
<br />
* Martin: there are plenty of custom protocols and formats for content librararies<br />
<br />
* Martin: the Internet is already a good enough search tool for content<br />
<br />
* Chris: 85% of content is PDF, the rest is mostly MSWord<br />
<br />
* Chris: OLE Nepal said: "short term, we just want a viewer + some metadata"<br />
<br />
* How should the content be delivered to the kid? USB stick? School server? Online library?<br />
<br />
* MStone: you can run a web server on the XO!<br />
<br />
== Collaboration Brainstorm == <br />
<br />
* Gadget replaces <s>presence service</s> the jabber server shared roster, and should solve scalability problems caused by the shared roster<br />
<br />
* Gadget is an XMPP add on component, should be compatible with any standards compliant server<br />
<br />
* Telepathy API is adding avatars, file transfer and P2P tubes.<br />
<br />
* It was decided to talk about collaboration requirements Tuesday night.<br />
<br />
* Future improvement to telepathy include jingle support, multi user audio video chat, and GeoLocation<br />
<br />
* The presence service is being removed<br />
* It is an additional abstraction on top of telepathy, and telepathy is already and abstraction API <br />
<br />
* Mission Control provides API to manage accounts(usernames, passwords etc)<br />
* Executes applications based on incoming connections<br />
* Sets avatar, manages capabilities, could re-use existing IM account<br />
<br />
* A way needs to be found to allow chat in shared activities.<br />
<br />
== Bookreading and Content ==<br />
<br />
There were two major threads in the conversation: some people decompose the problem into "finding content" and "consuming content" whereas others view these as a seamless action that occurs across multiple sessions; the latter group is primarily concerned with the ergonomics of the complete interaction. <br />
<br />
Next, we spent some time trying to agree on a deployment scenario: some people were most interested in guided in-core content-usage scenarios whereas others were most interested in unguided server- or cloud-based content usage scenarios.<br />
<br />
We debated whether the Journal should be extended to be a universal portal (with pluggable data layouts) or whether we should rely on disjoint screens for each content acquisition and consumption scenario. We paid particular attention to the question of whether remote/local and past/present/future opportunities should be displayed concurrently. (No consensus was reached.)<br />
<br />
We seem to be in agreement that people want to look into the future as well as the past. It seems that we use similar UIs for doing this, so with careful problem decomposition, we should be able to share lots of code. <br />
<br />
The closing remarks considered resource allocation: perhaps we should try hardest to adapt an existing dominant solution (e.g. Moodle) to work better in Sugar's deployment scenarios. (Specific technologies that were also considered as examples of the UIs we like include Miro, Calibre, Banshee, Eben's Journal designs, and the ICDL website.)<br />
<br />
(Finally, the ergonomics crowd wishes to reiterate that workflows are the central -- the reader and the writer need to fully interoperate and they need to be *slick*.)<br />

== Wednesday the 19th ==<br />
<br />
See [[Sugarcamp/Proposals]] for the list of proposed talks, by speaker. Speakers are encouraged to fill in below with more details on what you plan to discuss or leave out, so that attendees can lobby you to change your mind!<br />
<br />
Hour-long "topic" slots will probably be given 15 minutes per speaker, with 15 at the end for questions and discussion. For half-hour "person" slots, it is suggested that the speaker plan a 15-20 minute talk and leave 5-10 minutes for discussion, and 5 minutes to handover to the next speaker.<br />

I tried to roughly sort by number of proposals made (talks to be given).''<br />

=== How do I change the mouse cursor in my activity to the wait cursor? ===<br />
In your activity subclass:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
self.window.set_cursor( gtk.gdk.Cursor(gtk.gdk.WATCH) )<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
and to switch it back to the default:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
self.window.set_cursor( None );<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
=== How do I track the position of the mouse? ===<br />
There are many different reasons you might want to track the position of the mouse in your activity, ranging from the entertaining ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xeyes]]) to the functional (hiding certain windows when the mouse hasn't moved for a couple of seconds and making those ui elements re-appear when the mouse has moved again). Here is one way you can implement this functionality:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
<br />
...<br />
self.hideWidgetsTime = time.time()<br />
self.mx = -1<br />
self.my = -1<br />
self.HIDE_WIDGET_TIMEOUT_ID = gobject.timeout_add( 500, self.mouseMightHaveMovedCb )<br />
<br />
def _mouseMightHaveMovedCb( self ):<br />
x, y = self.get_pointer()<br />
passedTime = 0<br />
<br />
if (x != self.mx or y != self.my):<br />
self.hideWidgetsTime = time.time()<br />
if (self.hiddenWidgets):<br />
self.showWidgets()<br />
self.hiddenWidgets = False<br />
else:<br />
passedTime = time.time() - self.hideWidgetsTime<br />
<br />
<br />
if (passedTime >= 3):<br />
if (not self.hiddenWidgets):<br />
self.hideWidgets()<br />
self.hiddenWidgets = True<br />
<br />
self.mx = x<br />
self.my = y<br />
return True<br />
<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
== Miscellaneous==<br />
<br />
The tasks below are random useful techniques that have come up as I write code and documentation for this reference. They have yet to be categorized, but will be as a sufficient set of related entries are written.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== How do I know when my activity is "active" or not? ===<br />
<br />
You can set an event using the VISIBILITY_NOTIFY_MASK constant in order to know when your activity changes visibility. Then in the callback for this event, you simply compare the event's state to gtk-defined variables for activity visibility. See the [http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/gdk-constants.html#gdk-visibility-state-constants GDK Visibility State Constants] section of gtk.gdk.Constants for more information. <br />
<br />
<pre><br />
# Notify when the visibility state changes by calling self.__visibility_notify_cb<br />
# (PUT THIS IN YOUR ACTIVITY CODE - EG. THE __init__() METHOD)<br />
self.add_events(gtk.gdk.VISIBILITY_NOTIFY_MASK)<br />
self.connect("visibility-notify-event", self.__visibility_notify_cb)<br />
...<br />
# Callback method for when the activity's visibility changes<br />
def __visibility_notify_cb(self, window, event):<br />
if event.state == gtk.gdk.VISIBILITY_FULLY_OBSCURED:<br />
print "I am not visible"<br />
elif event.state in [gtk.gdk.VISIBILITY_UNOBSCURED, gtk.gdk.VISIBILITY_PARTIAL]:<br />
print "I am visible"<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
=== How do I get the amount of free space available on disk under the /home directory tree? ===<br />
The following function uses the [http://docs.python.org/lib/module-statvfs.html statvfs] module. The following code demonstrates how to get the total amount of free space under /home. <br />
<br />
<pre><br />
#### Method: getFreespaceKb, returns the available freespace in kilobytes. <br />
def getFreespaceKb(self):<br />
stat = os.statvfs("/home")<br />
freebytes = stat[statvfs.F_BSIZE] * stat[statvfs.F_BAVAIL]<br />
freekb = freebytes / 1024<br />
return freekb<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Note, however, that assuming anything about "/home" is a bad idea, better use os.environ['HOME'] instead. Rainbow will put your actual files elsewhere,<br />
some on ramdisks, some on flash. Be clear about which filesystem's free space you actually care about.<br />
<br />
=== How do I know whether my activity is running on a physical XO? ===<br />
Sugar runs on ordinary computers as well as on XO's. While your activity is typically going to be run on a real XO, some people will indeed run it elsewhere. Normally you shouldn't write your activity to care whether it's on an XO or not. If for some odd reason, you need to care, the easiest way to tell if you are on a physical XO is to check whether /sys/power/olpc-pm, an essential power management file for the XO, exists. <ref>[http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-June/015923.html reliably detecting if running on an XO]</ref> <ref>OLPC [[Power Management Interface]]</ref><br />
<br />
<pre><br />
import os<br />
...<br />
#Print out a boolean value that tells us whether we are on an XO or not. <br />
print os.path.exists('/sys/power/olpc-pm')<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
=== How do I know the current language setting on my XO? ===<br />
The system variable 'LANG' tells you which language is currently active on the XO. The following code shows how to look at the value of this variable. <br />
<br />
<pre><br />
import os<br />
...<br />
_logger.debug(os.environ['LANG'])<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
=== How do I repeatedly call a specific method after N number of seconds? ===<br />
The gobject.timeout_add() function allows you to invoke a callback method after a certain amount of time. If you want to repeatedly call a method, simply keep invoking the gobject.timeout_add function in your callback itself. The code below is a simple example, where the callback function is named repeatedly_call. Note that the timing of the callbacks are approximate. To get the process going, you should make an initial call to repeatedly_call() somewhere in your code. <br />
<br />
You can see a more substantive example of this pattern in use when we [[Pango#How_do_I_dynamically_set_the_text_in_a_pango_layout.3F | regularly update the time displayed on a pango layout object]]. <br />
<br />
<pre><br />
<br />
#This method calls itself ROUGHLY every 1 second <br />
def repeatedly_call(self):<br />
now = datetime.datetime.now()<br />
gobject.timeout_add(self.repeat_period_msec, self.repeatedly_update_time)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
<br />
=== How do I update the current build version of code that is running on my XO? ===<br />
<br />
There are several pages that give you instructions on how to install/update your current build. <br />
<br />
* If you already have a working build installed and an internet connection, first try [[olpc-update]]. <br />
* If that doesn't work, you can look at instructions for an [[Activated upgrade]] that can be done via USB] boot. <br />
<br />
As the instructions on the pages linked above note, make sure to install your activities separately after you have upgraded to a specific base build.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== I am developing on an XO laptop, but my keyboard and language settings are not ideal. How can I change them? ===<br />
<br />
Internationalized laptops will often have settings that might slow you down while developing. To change around the language settings so you can better understand environment messages, use the [[Sugar Control Panel]]<br />
<br />
Keyboard settings on internationalized laptops<ref>[[Keyboard layouts#OLPC keyboard layouts]]</ref> can also be suboptimal, especially as characters like "-" and "/" are in unfamiliar positions. You can use the <tt>setxkbmap</tt> command in the [[Terminal Activity]] to reset the type of keyboard input used and then attach a standard U.S. keyboard that will allow you to type normally. The command below sets the keyboard to the US mapping (it will reset to the default internationalized mapping upon restart). <br />
<br />
setxkbmap us<br />
<br />
=== My Python activity wants to use threads; how do I do that? ===<br />
<br />
Early versions of Sugar (pre-"Update.1" release) would automatically configure Python, gobject, and glib for threaded operation. Due to the overhead imposed on every activity by those initializations, Sugar no longer does that. If you are writing an activity for a later release, and you want threads to work, start off your activity (just after the copyright comments) with:<br />
<br />
import os<br />
import logging<br />
<br />
# Sugar does this but only in pre-update.1.<br />
import gobject<br />
gobject.threads_init()<br />
#import dbus.mainloop.glib<br />
#dbus.mainloop.glib.threads_init()<br />
<br />
Comment out, or uncomment, the glib threads initialization, depending on whether you need it. (I don't know how to tell if you need it, except by trying it both ways.)<br />
<br />
Then follow that with the rest of your imports (such as "import gtk"). In my activity (SimCity), the pygame sound player would not produce sound reliably unless I did this. <br />
<br />
In SimCity, I have tested this to make sure it works in the *old* XO software releases as well as the new ones. The documentation for these threads_init functions is really bad, and doesn't say whether you can call them twice, nor does it say how you can tell if they've already been called so you could avoid calling them twice. Apparently it's pretty harmless in release 650.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== How do I customize the title that is displayed for each instance of my activity? ===<br />
<br />
By default, activity titles are just the generic activity names that you specify in your activity.info file. In some applications, you may want the activity title to be more dynamic. <br />
<br />
For example, it makes sense to set the title for different browser sessions to the active web page being visited. That way, when you look back in the journal at the different browser sessions you have run in the previous few days, you can identify unique sessions based on the website you happened to be visiting at the time. <br />
<br />
The code below shows how you can set the metadata for your activity to reflect a dynamic title based on whatever session criteria you feel is important. This example is adapted from the Browse activity, which sets activity instance titles based on the title of the current web page being visited. <br />
<br />
<pre><br />
if self.metadata['mime_type'] == 'text/plain':<br />
if not self._jobject.metadata['title_set_by_user'] == '1':<br />
if self._browser.props.title:<br />
# Set the title of this activity to be the current <br />
# title of the page being visited by the browser. <br />
self.metadata['title'] = self._browser.props.title<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
=== What packages are available on sugar to support game development? ===<br />
<br />
If your activity will require tools that are typically needed to develop robust and clean video games, then you should utilize the [http://www.pygame.org/ pygame package]. It can be readily imported into any activity:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
import pygame<br />
...<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
=== How do I detect when one of the game buttons on the laptop have been pressed? ===<br />
<br />
The laptop game buttons (the circle, square, x, and check buttons next to the LCD) are encoded as page up, home, page down and end respectively. So, you can detect their press by listening for these specific events. For example, the code below listens for button presses and then just writes to an output widget which button was pressed. <br />
<br />
<pre><br />
...<br />
#### Initialize this activity. <br />
def __init__(self, handle):<br />
...<br />
self.connect('key-press-event', self._keyPressCb)<br />
...<br />
<br />
#### Method _keyPressCb, which catches any presses of the game buttons. <br />
def _keyPressCb(self, widget, event):<br />
<br />
keyname = gtk.gdk.keyval_name(event.keyval)<br />
<br />
if (keyname == 'KP_Page_Up'):<br />
self._chat += "\nCircle Pressed!"<br />
self._chat_buffer.set_text(self._chat)<br />
elif (keyname == 'KP_Page_Down'):<br />
self._chat += "\nX Pressed!"<br />
self._chat_buffer.set_text(self._chat)<br />
elif (keyname == 'KP_Home'):<br />
self._chat += "\nSquare Pressed!"<br />
self._chat_buffer.set_text(self._chat)<br />
elif (keyname == 'KP_End'):<br />
self._chat += "\nCheck Pressed!"<br />
self._chat_buffer.set_text(self._chat)<br />
<br />
return False;<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
<br />
=== How do I detect if one of the joystick buttons has been pressed? ===<br />
<br />
This is the same process as detecting game buttons, except with different names for the keys. Again, you listen for "key-press-event" signals and then in your callback you check to see if the pressed button was one of the joystick keys. <br />
<br />
<pre><br />
#### Initialize this activity. <br />
def __init__(self, handle):<br />
...<br />
self.connect('key-press-event', self._keyPressCb)<br />
...<br />
<br />
#### Method _keyPressCb, which catches any presses of the game buttons. <br />
def _keyPressCb(self, widget, event):<br />
<br />
keyname = gtk.gdk.keyval_name(event.keyval)<br />
<br />
if (keyname == 'KP_Up'):<br />
self._chat += "\nUp Pressed!"<br />
self._chat_buffer.set_text(self._chat)<br />
elif (keyname == 'KP_Down'):<br />
self._chat += "\nDown Pressed!"<br />
self._chat_buffer.set_text(self._chat)<br />
elif (keyname == 'KP_Left'):<br />
self._chat += "\nLeft Pressed!"<br />
self._chat_buffer.set_text(self._chat)<br />
elif (keyname == 'KP_Right'):<br />
self._chat += "\nRight Pressed!"<br />
self._chat_buffer.set_text(self._chat)<br />
<br />
return False;<br />
</pre><br />

<br />
''Please feel free to add anyone I've missed; I just compiled this quickly by scanning emails to [http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/ devel@] and [http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/sugar/ sugar@] with 'Proposal' in the title. If you're one of the listed developers, please add your location and the approximate cost of airfare, if you can determine it -- or remove yourself if you've made a proposal but aren't actually interested in attending, or can donate your own travel costs. I tried to roughly sort by number of proposals made (talks to be given).''<br />
