I'm excited that you are interested in the Platform team's project to support a distribution which the Peru community/local lab is proposing as basis for deployment in Peru. Currently we're about to reach 1.0 for Deployment Platform for XO laptops - the Ministry has aquired some Classmates and we as a local group would like to insure that they won't put Windows on them. So, for the Classmates we need to take the work done for Deployment Platform XO and integrate it for regular PCs. This means using the Sweets Distribution infrastructure to build one system based on any of the supported platforms [1]. I personally am inclined for Debian but I'm not attached, Ubuntu would work for us just as well, most likely it might be easier to start from work done in Trisquel TOAST. Most likely the project involves lots of testing, integration work, fiddling with virtual build environments, lots of communication on IRC and likely some coding in order to produce the most polished version possible. I'm cc'ing the sugar-devel mailing list which I encourage you to join and also find us on IRC Freenode in #sugar channel (you can use <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://chat.sugarlabs.org/">http://chat.sugarlabs.org/</a> for that). You can find me as "icarito" and also Aleksey Lim is the Platform Team leader his nick is "alsroot".

Coming to my contributions to Open source community I have contributed to sympy (Mathematical and Physics Python libraries) in Quantum Module in the spin libraries and other small contributions. It would be great if I can get some lead on how to proceed on the above topic and if there is some work that can be done in the some way before drafting a proposal so that it can be effective.Thanks.</div> </blockquote> </body> </html>
