Harmonic_Distribution
- Look at this tutorial: Sugar_Network/Tutorial
* The possibility to launch Base Software in heterogeneous software and hardware environments. * Using Base Software, provide access to various Content (Sugar activities, artifacts created by Sugar activities, books, etc.) created within the Sugar community. * Using Base Software, provide collaborative functionality to support Social activity around the Content. * Instruments and workflows to adapt Content and Base Software to specific needs that Sugar Deployment might face, including extreme ones like off-line environments and restricting hardware.
- [Sugar-devel] [SWEETS] Testing collaboration related fixes 05/07/2012
Hi all! Following the plan for Harmonic Distribution v0.2 (which will be a basis for Sugar Distribution to use in peruvian pilot), in Sugar Shell code were made fixes that are intended to make Telepathy (everything related to Neighbourhood view and Sugar Activities sharing/joining) more stable (that was broken since global redesign started after 0.88 release). Fixes are accessible from SweetsDistribution:Factory repository. Follow regular Sweets Distribution installation instructions[1] to install fixed Sugar Shell on all supported platforms[2]. Some visible changes in F1 view: * the number of buddies should be increased from ~20 to 70-90 some Sugar versions (maybe 0.90-0.92) don't publish information about nickname/colors on regular basis; this information are being stored on disk for now * for some buddies, server still don't have information about colors (replaced by gray) and nick names (jabber ids) If you have a time and want to help Puno deployment pilot, please, consider possibility to install sweets-desktop from Factory repository and do some testing of collaboration functionality. Some tips: * while interacting with another buddies, make sure that all participants use Sweets Distribution (some F1 buddies might misbehave) * the good criteria of stability level of new Sugar is comparing with how collaboration happen in 0.88 Sugar.

Pungi
- Advanced
- used to build non-live CD/DVD isos
Pungi needs to run on the arch it is composing, as root, and with an install of what it is composing, eg if you are composing Fedora 8, you need to be running Fedora 8. This is so that the correct userland tools are used to create the images and such used by anaconda. The eventual usage of pungi will most likely be in mock chroots to facilitate this. It needs to run on the arch it is composing due to how anaconda-runtime determines what files to put in the boot images at this time. Currently the releases of pungi are designed to run on an updated Rawhide system. Development of pungi always tracks Rawhide.

- L10n Translations
There is a git user named "pootle" that acts as the proxy by which all PO file translations are committed from the Pootle server. Please make pootle a committer on the repo and I will make the connections between git and the Pootle server. Some "best practices" about working with git and Pootle are described here.

f17 Nightly Images
- Note these are experimental FOR TESTING ONLY - Still in development; use with caution
Most of the SD card images can be used with a USB storage device drive using the following method: Write the image to both the USB storage device and an SD card. IE, write the image using xzcat file.xz > /dev/sdX then xzcat file.xz > /dev/mmcblkX. Once written, use a partition editor such as fdisk to delete the VFAT partition from the USB drive and the Linux partition from SD card. Plug the SD and USB storage into your ARM device and power up. The ARM system will load any applicable bootloader pieces, kernel, and initramfs from the SD card, but use the USB storage for the root filesystem. Nearly images are self-sufficient, but a kernel tarball is optionally available with the contents of the image's /boot and /lib/modules directories. These can be used in conjunction with the tarball root filesystems to create your own images.
