Last couple of days Cristian Rodriguez and I have been working on getting OLPC XO’s Sugar interface on openSUSE. Here are the results:

Home

Browser using Hulahop, gecko/pyxpcom engine.

List of “Activities” - Sugar applications.

Write Activity - Sugared up Abiword

Color Activity

Patched for logout

Available via 1-click for openSUSE 11.0.

There is still some work to do done, WolfiR is building python-xpcom, only once that is done Browse activity will work. Use lower screen resolution as fonts are somehow very tiny on large screens.

I started working on it thinking it shouldn’t be difficult to build few rpm packages, but now I realize how much work is involved in the project. Hats off to all the developers working on the project, didn’t know they had a very helpful, active and lively community. Sugar is already available on Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora of course(olpc is built onFedora).
