Hi Alex,

Reach out on IRC or email if you need help there.
With this update I think we're over the line for Beta and hence out of
the woods for the moment.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-dd8c4e8c66">https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-dd8c4e8c66</a>
If you could test and provide karma on it that would be great, it's
basically approved as a freeze exception so once that is ACKed we
should have images. I also updated to the 0.114 release as part of
that update.
F-31 has branched off Rawhide now and I
think we get that working as a compose, which should happen in the
next day or so. It has 0.114 so we test and basically call that one
done.
Rawhide is open now for F-32 development for a May release next year
and we aim that one for python3. We have working images as of today
for that with basically the same contents as F-31.
The following bug has all the other python2 bugs attached to it so I'm
using it as a general tracker:

The way I see it what we need to do is as follows:
1) Move as many Activities over sugar-toolkit-gtk3 as possible, kill
off the rest and retire sugar-toolkit (and I think we can retire
sugar-base then too). See details below around some of this below.
There was a thread a number of months ago where a bunch of these were
discussed. There doesn't appear to have been much movement, some just
need a release tagged.
2) Build a version of sugar-toolkit-gtk3 that supports both python2
and python3 Basically sugar-activity3. I believe this should actually
be possible with 0.114 to some degree but a new release would likely
be better. This allows Activities move over independently. Once the
migration is complete we disable the python2 build.
3) Move the core sugar UX to python3. I believe we should be able
sugar UX and datastore over independently as I believe the Activities
communicate with the later via dbus.
What have I missed, what are your thoughts?
> From what I can see at

Correct, but we're currently in freeze which means all changes have to
fix bugs and go through QA approval process.
Status of Activities still reliant on GTK2 based sugar-toolkit:
sugar-castle - no idea
sugar-connect - no idea
sugar-countries - appears to have been ported to GTK3 but no release
sugar-deducto - appears to have been ported to GTK3 but no release
sugar-flipsticks - no movement of note
sugar-kuku - no idea
sugar-labyrinth - not sure
sugar-playgo - some movement not idea if gtk3
sugar-srilanka - no idea
sugar-starchart - nothing recent except translations
sugar-view-slides - recent work, maybe gtk3, no release
sugar-xomail - no idea
