<div dir="ltr">As OLPC OS pushes forward to Fedora 21, I would like to ask if anyone employed by OLPC would be in a position to comment on OLPC's short to mid term goals for OLPC OS and the XO laptops in general. The recent layoff of key OLPC developers and the marketing shift towards Android has left many of us wondering where OLPC sees itself in one to five years. </div>

<br>
olpc-os-builder master now includes a few updates to build for rawhide<br>
(currently F21). This work is experimental, for developers. The main<br>
reason I did it was to have an easy platform to check the latest Sugar<br>
against the latest pygobject etc.<br>
<br>
Various things broken, some things working :)<br>
Contributions welcome of course. Maybe someone will post a build or two.<br>
<br>
To keep things simple and easily maintainable I have slimmed down the<br>
build configs (no GTK2, no gstreamer-0.10, etc), trying to focus just<br>
on the new stuff. Also I've dropped pretty much everything we've<br>
forked.<br>
<br>
No ARM support at the moment. We need a new kernel, and that is coming<br>
little by little as we upstream support for our platform.<br>
<br>
