Re: [IAEP] [x-post] GNU Project renews focus on free software in education

Brilliant!

What can we do to have Sugar more formally recognised by the FSF? I
think it should be their desktop of choice for primary school
education.

This followed uninformed misstatements in the media at the time by
some FSF members.

FSF influence on K-8 education departments is minimal, but I agree
more can always be done. We need to be in touch with Dora.

Most FSF people I know think high school or university when the topic
is educational software; e.g. FSFE edu-eu mailing list
(https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-eu)

Each state in Australia has its own schools system, and hence its own networks.

[PATCH sugar-toolkit-gtk3] Add DescriptionEntry to the activity sub-toolbar (v2)

This is the implementation of the 'Write to Journal anytime'
feature. This patch is based on Walter's sugar-toolkit-gtk2
patch.

The patch itself adds a DescriptionEntry to the activity
sub-toolbar to make editing a Journal entry description
from within the activity possible. The code has the same
error handling as the TitleEntry.

The particular string in question was

"%(hour)d:%(min).2d remaining"

Re: [PATCH sugar-toolkit-gtk3] Add DescriptionEntry to the activity sub-toolbar (v2)

Hi Simon,
I have found the following problems:

Doing "git am":

/home/gonzalo/sugar-jhbuild/source/sugar-toolkit-gtk3/.git/rebase-apply/patch:72: trailing whitespace.
        if 'description' not in jobject:
warning: 1 line adds whitespace errors.

Testing:
As you can see in http://dev.laptop.org/~gonzalo/write-anytime.png

1) The icon is not visible, my system does not have a write-journal.svg file.
2) The text inside the description box is white over grey.

Another question:

* Is DescriptionEntry a good name? may be is better DescriptionButton?

Gonzalo

Same here.

Same here.

This should be done in the theme, sugar-artwork-gtk3 CSS.  Added to
the list here [1], thanks!

Hi Sascha,

Gonzalo adjusted the description. I think we can really push this one 
now. Any other comments?

I would like to release now...
