Wasn't necessarily going to go the Ubuntu route though. I was thinking of using the OPLC spin as a basis and then adding more upstreamed sort of stuff to it like Hildon and the like so the base would fit in around 1-1.5 gig for the likes of the bottom end eeePC which comes with 2gig of storage and would run on the screen of these things that tend to be 800x480 or 1024x600. Would also then be relatively easily ported to things like a Nokia Internet Tablet if the arm crew wanted to recompile it. I think the OLPC Fedora spin would be a good place to start as it has a lot of unneeded already cut. More than willing to help with packaging etc.pbrobinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13286489984797476193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96033924639858208.post-23391716468282537042008-06-11T03:09:00.000+02:002008-06-11T03:09:00.000+02:00While you are certainly free to package this stuff...While you are certainly free to package this stuff up for consumption for Fedora. There are important questions regarding long term maintainability. I want to encourage you to make sure you open a line of communication with the canonical developers who are working on this and get a since of the development roadmap for these tools. Since they are quite new there may not be an understood time frame for releases and you may find yourself eating directly out of the bzr trees.<BR/><BR/>These things are quite new and quite targeted in terms of interface, so you want to make real sure you know how to drive bugs to the developers of these tools. You are watching how they stream line the re-configuration of existing desktops for people who want to use these as replacements to the standard gnome interface. If you aren't careful you can quickly get behind the curve if you aren't tracking upstream closely for something this new.<BR/><BR/>-jefJef Spaletahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11439754449677675460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96033924639858208.post-58088667961004421732008-06-11T01:54:00.001+02:002008-06-11T01:54:00.001+02:00And I'll happily review the RPM ;-)And I'll happily review the RPM ;-)kanariphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01645675539226757038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96033924639858208.post-61228390189026585792008-06-11T01:54:00.000+02:002008-06-11T01:54:00.000+02:00awesome!i am interested in helping you out, and ge...awesome!<BR/>i am interested in helping you out, and getting this for my eee :)<BR/><BR/>i can help out with artwork stuff if you need me...ryanlerchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548703672679661861noreply@blogger.com
