 '''Goal'''

   Fulltime development of Harmonic Distribution v0.3 release

 '''Responsibility'''

   Aleksey Lim

 '''Timeline'''

   2012, April-May

 '''Funds needed'''

   2012, April: $300
   2012, May: $500

 '''Project description'''

 Harmonic Distribution initiative is intended to be a technical basis for
 systematic approach to support Sugar Learning Platform based deployments.
 It is being designed and developed to accomplish the following technical
 tasks:

  * be a community basis project for [any number or] final product
  * covering full life cycle of Sugar based deployment, e.g., client and
 server software, content distribution, etc.
  * be as less maintainable as possible
  * support offline deployments

 '''Funding request reason'''

 The reason for asking for funding is to complete v0.3 release. The roadmap
 is:

  *
 [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Platform_Team/Harmonic_Distribution/1.0/Roadmap
 Roadmap]
  *
 [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Platform_Team/Harmonic_Distribution/1.0/Todo#0.2
 v0.2 Todo]
  *
 [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Platform_Team/Harmonic_Distribution/1.0/Todo#0.3
 v0.3 Todo]

 This request doesn't include Sugar Network client development (which is a
 part of Harmonic Distribution) because it is being developed withing the
 Hexokinase project. For the rest, v0.3 should be the first Harmonic
 Distribution release that is being intended to start testing in the field
 by people who will use final product. The functionality list was chosen to
 be useful in Puno pilot.

 '''How to revise the work'''

 After being released, v0.3 should provide:

  * XO image for students to start behaving right after flashing
  * XO image for teachers, to behave as a server to serve students, right
 after flashing
  * Basic workflow for people who will support Puno pilot:
     * populating and revising Sugar Network content (Sugar Activities and
 .xol libraries)
     * provide technical support for offline schools using Sugar Network
 resources like Questions
  * Sneakernet synchronization (chaski) between teachers servers and the
 master one that is being located in the Internet
