Comment(by hamiltonchua):

 The changes to the exceptions and logging towards the end of the patch
 shouldn't be included, I have removed them.

 I have changed JABBER_SERVER to jabber_server.

 It now uses the env module from sugar to get the profile path.

 I have renamed create_identifier_sn to generate_mfgdata_sn. This def
 generates a serial number based on 3 random uppercase letters and the last
 8 digits of the current unix seconds.

 I have removed the get_epoch def and used time.time() as you suggested.
 Thanks :-)

 I have renamed create_identifier_uuid to generate_mfgdata_uuid. I
 simplified it further but decided to keep it as a separate function for
 consistency.

 Thank you very much for your time and patience reviewing this patch. I
 really appreciate it.

 I'm not sure what "r!" means in the Keywords field. I'm leaving it as is.
