== Summary ==
Sugar [[Harmonic Distribution]] is a system approach to provide instrumental basis to fully cover needs that people might occur within the [[What_is_Sugar?|Sugar Learning Platform]].
== Goals ==
For more detailed description, see [[Harmonic Distribution/Declaration of purpose|declaration of purpose]].
* The possibility to launch <u>''Base Software''</u> in heterogeneous software and hardware environments.
* Using ''Base Software'', provide access to various <u>''Content''</u> (Sugar activities, artifacts created by Sugar activities, books, etc.) created within the Sugar community.
* Using ''Base Software'', provide collaborative functionality to support <u>''Social activity''</u> around the ''Content''.
* Instruments and workflows to adapt ''Content'' and ''Base Software'' to specific needs that Sugar <u>''Deployment''</u> might face, including extreme ones like off-line environments and restricting hardware.
== Components ==
* ''Operating system''.
: [[Wiki:Operating_system|OS]] components will be reused as-is from upstream providers, e.g., from [[Wiki:GNU/Linux distribution|GNU/Linux distributions]] for regular desktops or from [http://one.laptop.org/ OLPC] for XO laptops. There will be a list of platforms that will be supported on all levels of Harmonic Distribution.
* ''Base software'', i.e., [[Taxonomy#Sucrose:_The_interface.2C_plus_a_set_of_demonstration_activities|Sucrose]].
: Is a [[Wiki:Desktop_environment|Desktop Environment]] of Sugar Learning Platform and [[Sugar Server Kit]] server side components. It will be accessible as a 3rd party repository for all supported platforms, e.g., like [[Community/Distributions/Sweets_Distribution|Sweets Distribution]] function.
* ''Content''.
: This part is based on [[Sugar Network]], with master server hosted on Sugar Labs resources, and provides various content (Sugar activities, artifacts created by Sugar activities, books, etc.) and social activity around this content. It is the common information field to embrace all participants.
* ''Deployment''.
: A set of solutions to make all previous components flexible enough to support different Sugar deployment scenarios.
== Start using ==
Usage scenarios depends on the category of participants and might be different:
* Regular usage for individual is being on one of supported platforms, install ''Base software'' from 3rd party repositories provided by Harmonic Distribution. Then, using installed software, explore the ''Content'' and start participating.
* From any Web browser, open [[Sugar Network]] site to start participating with people, who use ''Base software'', within the ''Content''.
* Sugar distributors might follow ''Deployment'' suggestions to create downstream, ''Base software'' based, distributions for particular needs. Besides ''Base software'', they can adapt ''Content'' to local requirements, but ''Content'' will remain common information field for all participants, within and out of deployment.
== Further reading ==
* Technical implementation [[Platform_Team/Harmonic_Distribution|pages and releases]].
Distributions based on Harmonic Distribution:
* Peru [http://pe.sugarlabs.org/go/Proyecto_Piloto_Hexoquinasa pilot program].
