This is a late announcement of the final release of the XO-1 images based on Fedora 11 and Sugar 0.84:

This build is being deployed to 10 schools in Caacupé [1]. Feedback from teachers and teacher trainers has been very positive so far.
== Changes relative to the previous release (os140py) ==
* GSM broadband support: add usb_modeswitch and usb_modeswitch-data, enabling more modem models to work with Fedora 11. (me)
* Credit Sugar Labs in boot animation (me)
* Add custom Browse home page with links to Paraguay Educa resources (rgs)
* Update Turtle Art to pick Spanish translation (walter)
* Re-enable olpc-update and the versioned fs (me)
* Point software update control panel at http://wiki.paraguayeduca.org
* Pull latest OS updates from upstream (fedora)
== Bugs fixed ==
* Race condition with name widget in the activity toolbar http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1948
* Some activities crashing when resuming from the Journal http://patchwork.sugarlabs.org/patch/15/
== Known bugs ==
* Unable to read FAT filesystems containing invalid file dates http://patchwork.sugarlabs.org/patch/43/
== How to help testing ==
Feedback from the entire community is very appreciated, although we're not planning any further releases of the Sugar 0.84 series.
Bugs affecting upstream components are better filed in their respective trackers:
* Sugar and activities: http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ * Fedora 11: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ * Drivers and OLPC customizations: http://dev.laptop.org/ * Paraguay-specific bugs: http://trac.paraguayeduca.org/
If you're unsure where a bug belongs to, use the Paragauy Educa tracker. Please, always assign these bugs to "Carlos", who will keep our status summary updated.
== Using this build outside Paraguay ==
A few customizations make this image somewhat Paraguay-specific:
* Limited language support: to save space, we've included only English and Spanish translations.
* Image signed with the Paraguay deployment keys. Laptops from other regions need to be be unlocked in order to accept this image.
* The software update control panel icon checks for new activities on our wiki rather than on laptop.org.
* The Browse home page contains the Paraguay Educa logo and a few links to our website.
We may find the time to release slightly modified images to meet the needs of other OLPC deployments interested in upgrading to Sugar 0.84.
More importantly, we're happy to help other deployments produce their own OS images independently of us, thus exploiting Free Software's most important advantage [2].
== How to join development ==
This development cycle is closed as a new development cycle based on Sugar 0.88 has started already. Public builds will be available soon.

Hi Bernie, Steven,
is this [1] the latest mainline build for the XO-1? Are we 'out of sync' with the XO-1.5 builds [3]?
Just trying to get a picture of the situation.
Thanks, Simon

This is a release Bernie has for the deployment in Paraguay. He and I maintain seperate build systems but do share our work with each other. I will have a new release out soon for testing and hope to have a final release before moving to an F12 based release. We have deviated from the XO1.5 in order to accomodate 1.0 specific issues. These changes will get merged back into the mainline system after final release.

How do I install this image? I tried the USB method on a XO1 with dev key and security disabled, but it still complains about not finding the right keys.

Are you pressing the four game keys together? This triggers a secure update through fs.zip.
On unlocked laptops, all you need to do is drop into the Open Firmware "ok" prompt and type:
copy-nand u:\os180py.img

Yes.

Got it. Its writing right now. If we have a wiki page for the py images, this tip would be helpful.
