== Dextrose - Deployments' XO Operating System ==
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Dextrose is a Sugar distribution for the XO-1 and XO-1.5.  It is being developed jointly by [http://activitycentral.org Activity Central], [http://paraguayeduca.org/ Paraguay Educa] and [http://sugarlabs.org Sugar Labs], in collaboration with [http://www.ceibal.edu.uy/ Plan Ceibal] and members of the OLPC/Sugar community.
 +
 
 +
The focus of this build is stability and usability in a classroom environment. While there wasn't
 +
much time for new development, we've merged a few features contributed by other deployments and
 +
freelance contributors:
 +
 
 +
* Journal sorting options (aa)
 +
* CPU/Memory display (m_anish)
 +
* Journal Backup/restore to removable devices (tch, esteban)
 +
* Journal Backup/restore to schoolserver (tch)
 +
* Tabbed browsing (m_anish)
 +
* OLPC Microformat support in activity updater (gangil) (pending)
 +
 
 +

 +
 
 +
* First, ensure that your laptop is [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activation_and_developer_keys unlocked].
 +
* Download <tt>osNNNpy.img</tt> and <tt>osNNNpy.crc</tt> to the root directory of a USB stick
 +
* Drop to the "ok" prompt by pressing ESC repetedly during boot
 +
* Type the command: <code>copy-nand u:\osNNNpy.img</code> followed by ENTER
 +
* During the next reboot, keep the charger connected to allow OFW to self-update
 +
 
 +
Also check these [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/F11_for_XO-1#Installation_instructions detailed instructions].

 +
== Testing ==
 +
 
 +
Besides community testing and field testing, we're planning to reuse and extend the
 +
OLPC test plan adopted in release 8.2.0 (aka os801): http://wiki.laptop.org/go/TestPlan_8.2.0
 +
 
 +
Feedback from the entire community is appreciated. Bugs belonging to upstream
 +
components should be filed in the usual trackers:

* Sugar and activities: http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/
 +
* Fedora 11: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/
 +
* Drivers and OLPC customizations: http://dev.laptop.org/
 +
* Bugs specific to this build: http://trac.paraguayeduca.org/

== Using this build with other deployments ==
 +
 
 +
A few customizations make this image somewhat deployment-specific:
 +
 
 +
* Limited language support: to save space, we've included only English and Spanish translations.
 +
 
 +
* Image signed with the Paraguay deployment keys. Laptops from other regions need to be unlocked in order to accept this image.
 +
 
 +
* The software update control panel icon checks for new activities on our wiki rather than on laptop.org.
 +
 
 +
* The Browse home page contains the Paraguay Educa logo and a few links to our website.
 +
 
 +
We may find the time to release slightly modified images to meet the
 +
needs of other OLPC deployments interested in upgrading to Sugar 0.88.
 +
 
 +
More importantly, we're happy to help other deployments produce their
 +
own OS images independently of us, thus exploiting the [http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html Freedom #1] provided by Free Software.
 +
 
 +
== How to join development ==
 +
 
 +
* Build system source: http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/dextrose/repos/mainline
 +
 
 +
* Out-of-tree patches for Sugar 0.88: http://people.sugarlabs.org/bernie/sugar/sugar-0.88-patches/
 +
 
 +
* Yum repository for custom Fedora packages (along with sources): http://download.sugarlabs.org/dextrose/testing/f11-0.88/rpms/
 +
 
 +
* IRC: #sugar on irc.freenode.net (English preferred, Spanish also spoken by several members)
