Hi Lucian,

2 things:

1) rainbow should prevent you from creating new activities in
~/Activities, so I don't think that approach would work on an XO with
an OLPC build.  Since I think what you want is to create an activity,
zip it, and add it to the journal, you could probably do something
like this:
import tempfile
ssb_path = tempfile.mkdtmp(dir=activity.get_activity_root())

2) the bundle_id you create probably should begin with org.laptop , as
that could cause collisions with other activities.  maybe
org.sugarlabs.ssb ?

nice start so far!
