| == Summary ==
| |
| | |
| This spin incorporates the Sugar Desktop Environment, which makes it possible to utilize the same user interface used on the OLPC, but directly on a Fedora Live CD.

| == Detailed Description ==
| |
| | |
| Sugar is a special environment targeted at educational purposes and following a philosophy of simplicity. It's being developed by [http://www.sugarlabs.org| Sugar Labs] and written in Python. The spin includes the desktop environment, but also the so-called activities: For example, you'll be able to browse the internet, check your e-mails (using the alpine terminal client), write documents, chat online, learn programming and do more stuff... | |
| | |
| == Benefit to Fedora ==
| |
| | |
| Sugar is used by the OLPC Project. Having Sugar in Fedora is special. And giving users the possibility to run Sugar from a Live CD, which is based on Fedora, is even better. That way, we don't only help Fedora, but spread both technologies - Fedora and Sugar - together and allow our users to test a pre-configured version of the Sugar Desktop Environment directly from the CD.

| | |
| == Kickstart File ==
| |
| | |
| http://git.fedoraproject.org/git/?p=spin-kickstarts.git;a=blob;f=fedora-livecd-sugar.ks
| |
| | |
| == ISO Name / FS Label ==
| |
| * Fedora-11-i686-Sugar
| |
| * Fedora-11-x86_64-Sugar
| |
| | |
| == Dependencies ==
| |
| To build:
| |
| * livecd-tools
| |
| | |
| There are no further dependencies right now: Additional activities might be included once they come into Fedora, but they don't directly affect the spin or its dependencies.
| |
| | |
| Further apps:
| |
| * liveusb-creator
| |
| | |
| The Sugar Spin has been added to the [https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/| liveusb-creator], which is also the reason why HTTP hosting would be needed (also see comments below): The users will be able to directly download the spin and have it put onto their USB key.
| |
| | |
| == Scope / Testing ==
| |
| List of included apps:
| |
| | |
| * sugar desktop environment group (including activities)
| |
| * alpine e-mail client
| |
| * slim login manager
| |
| | |
| The testing might be coordinated with the [[OLPC|OLPC SIG]], which could help, especially with the activities.
| |
| | |
| Slim needs a modification in slim.conf to login the user automatically. This is currently done via %post, but would be probably better added to the fedora-live-base.ks, since this isn't the only spin using it.
| |
| | |
| == Comments and Discussion ==
| |
| | |
| * This spin has already been approved by the board in the past [https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2008-October/msg00076.html].
| |
| * We'd need HTTP hosting, as mentioned above. The spin has currently a home here [http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/olpc/].
