Our first group meeting outside of class was held at Taco Boy to develop a report on the Sugar Labs project. Environments outside of the classroom provide for a chance to socialize and perform the Norming stage of team development. Our research during that time lead us to devise a structure of the report for the project. We were able to divide tasks to each team member in order to give a piece of the report at the next class meeting.
My task was to gather together all the components necessary to install a running version of the Sugar software and its Activities. I was unable to successfully create such an environment on a Windows platform, however, I did manage to create one on Ubuntu using the following components:
- Ubuntu Software Center - search 'sugar' in the text box, then download the emulator
- Ubuntu - an open source platform used to supportthe Sugar software
- Xephyr - turns a window into a framebuffer/VOD
At first use of the software, I had already noticed some bugs (some on the part of the component used as the framebuffer, Xephyr).
