[OLPC-AU] OLPC Australia tracker migration

[Sridhar Dhanapalan]

Friends,

OLPC Australia Engineering has hit a critical juncture. With our rising
influence in the technical development space, and expansion of the One
Education programme into other countries, we have teamed up with other
groups from around the world to create better solutions for schools.

The result is Sugar Dextrose <https://sugardextrose.org/>. Together
with Activity
Central <http://activitycentral.com/>, we have created a new project
management system that is focused on the needs of deployments. Building
upon the proven development model pioneered by OLPC Australia to create its
One Education OS, Sugar Dextrose creates greater scale by allowing for
other deployments to easily participate. Smaller or more loosely organised
deployments can immediately gain improved structure and professionalism
through participation in Sugar Dextrose.

Quality assurance has been given priority, through the integration of a
test case management system. We hope to add further quality controls and
automation in the future, creating infrastructure and processes to assist
the entire Sugar and OLPC ecosystem.

Data and processes from OLPC Australia's tracker
<http://dev.laptop.org.au>have been migrated to the new platform,
lending maturity and consistency.
As a previous user of the OLPC Australia tracker, you should not experience
much difference. Your existing login credentials will continue to function.
If you have a Sugar Labs LDAP account, you can use that as well. All
permissions, issues, wiki pages and code commits are in the same places.

The migration of data from the OLPC Australia tracker to Sugar Dextrose
commenced on Friday 31 August. Any changes made to the tracker from this
period are not likely to be ported. We expect the migration to be complete
on Monday 3 September. From that point, public projects in the OLPC
Australia tracker will be archived.

I will send a follow-up message after the migration has completed.

Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions about this
migration.

Regards,
Sridhar
