What help address on the Quick Start instructions?
by Karlie Robinson
I've been working on the layout and I've finally decided to call the
'instructions' simply "Quick Start - Fedora 10 on your XO"
There's just so much info that can be included but the important parts
are the graphical instructions for getting the Dev Key and where to
insert the SD Card.
So my question - Do we have / Could we make a one-stop, easy to input
URL url with complete info?
Otherwise I'm looking at adding at least
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Developer_key and Greg's
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1112399 to the cards
And to type the thread into a browser is going to be tedious and a
tinyurl is going to look unprofessional at best.
What about http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/XO to keep the user designated
info away from the SIG development info (...to avoid giving new users a
fright).
Thoughts? Other Ideas?

Sugar Icon Set
by Karlie Robinson
I've asked Mike to make one more set of graphics for the instruction
card - Getting your Key.
Does anyone know where the Icon set for sugar can be downloaded in SVG
format? I did find pointing and selecting icons at
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar_Standard_Icons but the rest are eluding
me.
Thanks,

Amazon.com needs some Fedora Love
by Karlie Robinson
http://www.amazon.com/Fedora-Card-OLPC-XO-Laptop/dp/B001L7EGA6/ is the
new home of Fedora 10 on SD card for the OLPC Laptop.
The product won't show as available until Monday, so we still have a
little time to spiff it up if needed (have an opinion to share? I'd love
to hear it).
We also have the opportunity to show some love by adding user created
content to the listing. Specifically; Customer Images, Tags, Ratings,
Reviews, Customer discussions and Amapedia (?) articles.
So if you have an Amazon.com account and have something you want to add,
it would help the listing look less like a ghost town.
Thanks,
Karlie

OLPC News Forum
by Karlie Robinson
Could you help me with these questions? (question text pasted below)
http://olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=3958.msg26977#msg26977
I'd be happy to write a response, but I'm not sure I'm going to be able
to completely answer his questions.
This is what I'm assuming so far....
I'm assuming that most things that would run via USB under Fedora will
operate using the XO spin. So the printer is a high probability but I
don't know enough about USB connected LCD projectors to answer one way
or another. Worst case is that it won't work out of the box but there
may be a work around out there to get them both working.
The applications list is going to be similar to that of the Fedora Live
CD, but I don't have the final applications list yet.
And I can go into what it will take to install the card - no command
lines or terminals.

OLPC beat in FWN
by Pascal Calarco
Folks, I have been slammed with new work that is taking a lot of my time
right now and so for the forseeable future I am not going to be able
to continue with the OLPC beat, which only made it into one issue. I
will still be able to help out with FWN editorial duties. Hopefully
with the new year things should settle down again.
