For the past several months the OLPC/Sugar Labs ecosystem has been
getting requests to provide releases of more recent versions of Sugar
on the XO.
The leading effort in this direction seems to be the F11-XO1 project.
I would like to like to invite F11-XO1 to become part of the XO SIG.
I have been trying to articulate the project goals and gather momentum
across several groups.
1. OLPC as a downstream.
2. Sugar Labs as a focus point.
3. Various ecosystem leaders to do pilots with current versions of Sugar on XOs.
4. Various testers to provide user level testing.
The goal of this groups is not to _fragment_ the existing efforts.
The goal is bring the various efforts together to form a critical mass
to help pull this propel forward.
As far as I'm aware there is no F11-XO1 project, I'm aware of a couple
of different projects to get the latest Sugar releases on the XO.
- The SoaS on XO which is being run my Martin Dengler in conjunction
with SoaS and SL (that's where its all hosted).
- The OLPC project to get Fedora 11 on both the XO-1.5 and XO-1 which
is being handled by Steven M. Parrish (and Daniel Drake / Chris Ball)
Both projects are cross pollinated and use components of work done by
both as well as myself and other Fedora upstream people. I don't
believe there's much difference between them as where possible I
believe most stuff is pushed upsteam. There is no current Fedora based
project working on this directly due to the down stream projects.
I have my own build that I use but that isn't generally published and
is mostly to test core fedora for dependency bloat and breakages.
I suggest you speak with the parties mentioned above for further information.
