''What are you trying to do?''
:* 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.
''How is it done today, and what are the limits of current practice?''
:* There is no system approach to provide the same ''Base software'':
:** On different [[Wiki:GNU/Linux distribution|GNU/Linux distributions]]. That makes hard coordination, on Sugar Labs level, of any efforts related to ''Base software''.
:** On Sugar Labs level, there are no [[Wiki:Long_Term_Support|LTS]] Sucrose releases. It makes hard coordination between Sugar deployments.
:* Current ways to share ''Content'' is either too general or limited:
:** The [[Activity Library]] is needless centralized (by design of upstream project that [[Activity Library]] is based on) and, e.g., doesn't accept uploading experimental activities created by not original authors.
:** [[Activity Library]] is too restricted (by upstream design, it was created to handle Firefox plugins) in case of not trivial software, e.g., dependencies and binary based activities.
:** No services, like [[Activity Library]], to share something different to activities.
:* There is not centralized Sugar-way to support ''Social activity'' within the community:
:** There is a gap between developers and users in the field.
:** Existing social services either scattered or too technical.
:* There is not system approach, on Sugar Labs level, to coordinate efforts within the Sugar deployments.
''What's new in your approach and why do you think it will be successful?''
:* [[Platform_Team/Open_Build_System|Open Build System]] for system approach to provide the same ''Base software'':
:** The same code base is being built for all supported [[Wiki:GNU/Linux distribution|GNU/Linux distributions]].
:** Among 6 months Sucrose releases, there will be supported LTS releases.
:* [[Sugar Network]] for system approach to provide ''Content''.
:** That will include Sugar activities, the [[Platform_Team/Sweets|Sweets]] will take care about treating dependencies and [[Platform_Team/Open_Build_System|Open Build System]] will build binaries in automatic manner.
:* [[Sugar Network]] for system approach to provide ''Social activity'' for the ''Content''.
:* [[Sugar Network]] is designed to fulfill deployment needs like:
:** Supporting environments with limited, or absent, access to the Internet;
:** Adapt ''Content'' to local needs.
