Folks,<br>
<br>
<br>
Just under the wire, we have managed to get some critical Sugar on a
Stick issues fixed, which are now included in Fedora 30 SoaS images. I
would like to extend a very special thanks to Peter Robinson, who took
time out of his busy schedule to assist in getting the Fedora packages
updated with the necessary fixes and patches. Thank you, Peter. This
will be the first Fedora SoaS in several releases to have functional
collaboration within Sugar, and it is thanks to your work, as well as
community testers who take the time to test these new packages, and
report back with the results.<br>
<br>
For those who would like to test ot use Fedora 30 Sugar on a Stick,
Release Candidate 1, you can download these ISO images, and use DD,
win32diskimager, or your preferred raw image writing utility to stick
the contents on a USB drive. Alternatively, these ISOs can be booted as a
Virtual Machine, using VirtualBox, Parallels, Hyper-V, and other
virtualization software.<br>

Here is what's been fixed:<br>
<br>
* Sugar 0.113 is included by default<br>
* Collaboration works out of the box <br>
* Able to connect to jabber.sugarlabs.org when configured (this is
related to the fix for collaboration, thanks to James Cameron for this)<br>
* A <a

Rahul "Pro-Panda" Bothra for this contribution.<br>

The final release of Fedora 30 is expected to be made between April 30th
and May 7th, depending on a number of factors. The F30 release schedule
