9. Sugar-jhbuild: I finally managed to get my xsessions configured so that I could run both Sugar as installed by apt-get sugar and the latest jpyride version I built by hand using sugar-jhbuild (Please see [[DevelopmentTeam/Jhbuild#Creating_an_xsession_for_Sugar-jhbuild|xsession]] for the details).

10. Sugar appliance: Bryan Kearney has built a Sugar appliance based upon the Thincrust toolkit (Please see [http://www.thincrust.net Thincrust] where you'll learn that "an appliance is a pre-configured application and operating system bundle"). The directions for using the appliance are:

Marco is finally back working full time on OLPC. He spent this week fixing blocker bugs for the next release, doing a lot of triage and several patch reviews.

Marco also tracked down and fixed an infinite loop in the shell. Finally, with Tomeu Vizoso, he solved a problem with the web widget size allocation, which is likely to have caused several problems.
