<br>
<br>
This build is being deployed to 10 schools in Caacupé [1]. Feedback from<br>
teachers and teacher trainers has been very positive so far.<br>
<br>
<br>
== Changes relative to the previous release (os140py) ==<br>
<br>
* GSM broadband support: add usb_modeswitch and usb_modeswitch-data,<br>
enabling more modem models to work with Fedora 11. (me)<br>
<br>
* Credit Sugar Labs in boot animation (me)<br>
<br>
* Add custom Browse home page with links to Paraguay Educa resources (rgs)<br>
<br>
* Update Turtle Art to pick Spanish translation (walter)<br>
<br>
* Re-enable olpc-update and the versioned fs (me)<br>
<br>
* Point software update control panel at <a href="http://wiki.paraguayeduca.org" target="_blank">http://wiki.paraguayeduca.org</a><br>
<br>
* Pull latest OS updates from upstream (fedora)<br>
<br>
<br>
== Bugs fixed ==<br>

<a href="http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1948" target="_blank">http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1948</a><br>

<br>
== How to help testing ==<br>
<br>
Feedback from the entire community is very appreciated, although we're<br>
not planning any further releases of the Sugar 0.84 series.<br>
<br>
Bugs affecting upstream components are better filed in their respective<br>
trackers:<br>
<br>
* Sugar and activities: <a href="http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/" target="_blank">http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/</a><br>
* Fedora 11: <a href="http://bugzilla.redhat.com/" target="_blank">http://bugzilla.redhat.com/</a><br>
* Drivers and OLPC customizations: <a href="http://dev.laptop.org/" target="_blank">http://dev.laptop.org/</a><br>
* Paraguay-specific bugs: <a href="http://trac.paraguayeduca.org/" target="_blank">http://trac.paraguayeduca.org/</a><br>
<br>
If you're unsure where a bug belongs to, use the Paragauy Educa tracker.<br>
Please, always assign these bugs to "Carlos", who will keep our status<br>
summary updated.<br>
<br>
<br>
== Using this build outside Paraguay ==<br>
<br>
A few customizations make this image somewhat Paraguay-specific:<br>
<br>
* Limited language support: to save space, we've included only<br>
English and Spanish translations.<br>
<br>
* Image signed with the Paraguay deployment keys. Laptops from other<br>
regions need to be be unlocked in order to accept this image.<br>
<br>
* The software update control panel icon checks for new activities<br>
on our wiki rather than on <a href="http://laptop.org" target="_blank">laptop.org</a>.<br>
<br>
* The Browse home page contains the Paraguay Educa logo and a few<br>
links to our website.<br>
<br>
We may find the time to release slightly modified images to meet the<br>
needs of other OLPC deployments interested in upgrading to Sugar 0.84.<br>
<br>
More importantly, we're happy to help other deployments produce their<br>
own OS images independently of us, thus exploiting Free Software's most<br>
important advantage [2].<br>
<br>
<br>
== How to join development ==<br>
<br>
This development cycle is closed as a new development cycle based on<br>
Sugar 0.88 has started already. Public builds will be available soon.<br>

[1] The actual production build is os179py. The only difference between<br>
os179py and os180py is improved compatibility with GSM modems.<br>

it to make it do what you wish.<br>
