Some of you may have already heard that I have accepted a position<br>
with ActivityCentral to be the project manager for Dextrose. ?It feels<br>
like I have come full circle as I started out as a volunteer<br>
maintaining the "F11 for the XO-1" builds for the past 18 months.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Steven, glad to hear. Hope you have been doing well.</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
That work was very rewarding and I was glad to see OLPC step in and<br>
release official builds based on my work. ?The "F11 for the XO-1" was<br>
also a starting point for the original Dextrose system, which Bernie<br>
Innocenti brought to fruition.<br>
<br>
Now we will be taking the original Dextrose and expanding upon it.<br>
Dextrose2 will be the result. ?Based on Fedora11 and Sugar 0.88 it<br>
will strive for stability, while providing deployments with a<br>
customizable product. ?I have already started creating builds for the<br>
new system with additional language support, and they can be found at<br>
<a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Dextrose" target="_blank">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Dextrose</a> . ?The builds will be for both<br>
the XO-1 and XO-1.5 and will be available both with Gnome and without.<br>
<br>
We have a team of developers at SEETA who will be working on this with<br>
us. ?Many of them are already known to the community and more will<br>
become known as they join the effort.<br>
<br>
I have already started going over the outstanding issues and know that<br>
with everyone's help we can make Dextrose the Premier system for XO<br>
deployments.<br>
