Fedora/OLPC meeting summary: Friday, August 29th

[Greg Dekoenigsberg]

A summary of what's been going on in the world of Fedora and OLPC.  :)

1. Fedora on OLPC.  The goal: to get a version of Fedora booting on OLPC 
hardware.  Looks like we've got a version booting, and now we're looking 
to clean it up a bit before we make it more generally available.  Issues 
and owners:

a. Using localized spins to cut down on space.  (sdziallas)

b. Troubleshooting performance issues -- running from USB is painfully 
slow.  (katzj)

2. Sugar in Fedora.  The goal: to get Sugar packaged as a top-notch 
desktop environment for Fedora.  Issues and owners:

a. Bundlebuilder changes to make packaging activities easier. (marcopg)

b. Figuring out the pyxpcom/xulrunner issues to get the browse activity 
working with native Fedora packages.  (katzj/caillon)

c. Continuing to package Sugar activities, which will be much easier when 
marcopg is done with bundlebuilder changes. 
(See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/WishList#Activities 
for list of important activities.)

d. There's a large increase of python memory usage f7->f9, which is 
hard on Sugar performance-wise, still investigating.  (marcopg/tomeu)

That's it.  We'll meet again this coming Friday to go over progress, and 
since some of us will be at FUDCon Brno, maybe we will share some of the 
work that's going on there.
