All the maintainers have to do is reply with:
Acked-by: name <email>
Then, the poster will commit the patch or find someone who will. You've
probably seen this happen a few times on sugar-devel too.
In other projects, the maintainer is the only person who has commit
access to their tree, so they go ahead and merge the patch directly.

You're obviously disregarding the reviews done in the list. Almost every
patch posted was reviewed (either successfully or not).

My initial proposal to unstuck the review process was to let any
existing Sugar contributor approve patches posted by others.
You'll certainly remember this, because you commented that only those
who are able to appreciate the maintenance burden of a patch are to
decide on it.
That's fine, as long as there are enough maintainers to review patches
in a reasonable amount of time. If this is not the case, we could tune
our requirements for becoming a maintainer so that we'll have more.
There are many solutions to the problem of maintainer shortage, just
pick your favorite one. Except, maybe, halting development until the
planets come to the right alignment and maintainers of your liking start
to fall from the sky.
> How can you vote before you have a proposal? Or the proposal is "do

Would you like me to open a bug in trac and attach the proposal to it so
you can review it?
We've discussed the email-based review process once on IRC, in which you
agreed and asked to post the proposal to sugar-devel@, then a second
time on the thread following Sasha's summary. There was also a third
time, on the "Patchwork" thread. In all cases, you claimed to be in
favor for the general idea except for some minor points which I believe
have been addressed.
Tomeu, please, let's not start over from the beginning.

Does this imply that we're giving up on the new email-based review
process? Some maintainers have already adopted it and there seemed to be
general consensus on it, except maybe for some procedural details.

Almost all the patches I've seen posted to the list where promptly
reviewed by one or multiple people.
Please, don't ask contributors to also file a bug in Trac, attach the
patch and set the "r+" keyword before you can merge otherwise good
patches.

Perhaps you haven't noticed that I'm *already* pre-reviewing plenty of
patches. Only, I do it on sugar-devel@, which is what we had agreed to
do a few weeks ago after discussing it extensively on IRC with you.
iirc, you were opposed only to let any contributors approve patches for
Sugar modules with missing or unresponsive maintainers.
What shall we do to resolve the current uncertainty quickly? Shall we
vote the new review process with Selectricity?

Ok, I'll do it when I announce the build. Maybe it will happen by this
weekend.

Sugar 0.88 packages
by Bernie Innocenti
Hello Peter & Sebastian,
looks like the two of you have been effectively maintaining the Sugar
packages for some time.
For our next XO-1 & XO-1.5 builds, I've been back-porting the Sugar 0.88
packages to Fedora 11. As soon as we start doing some QA, we're going to
apply a certain number of fixes for critical bugs that are not yet in
any released source tarballs.
Would you like me to go on and apply any relevant patches also to the
devel and F-13 branches in CVS? Let me know if you'd rather want me to
run each individual patch through you instead of committing them
directly. Either way is equally fast and easy on my side.

One family's solution to XO-1 touchpad
by Mikus Grinbergs
I've placed a couple XO-1s (one CSN748, one SHC842 - both build 802B1)
with an ordinary family for use by their 5 and 6 year olds (in Texas).
Those daughters had lots of trouble using the touchpad -- jumpy cursor;
hard to control the cursor position; recalibration of touchpad
(automatic or manual) did not last long.
The family added external wireless mice. Now their daughters are very
happy with the XO-1 cursor behavior.

I'm seeing this problem as well on my laptop with Fedora 12 and 13,
using various Huawei modem models.
It could be a NetworkManager issue, unless all modems share the same
firmware bugs.
Dan, what do you think? Even if the actual problem lies elsewhere, it
would help if NM could provide useful diagnostics about what went wrong.
> I send to you the dmesg output in both cases.
I see nothing odd here. In both cases, the mass-storage device is being
switched to a communication device and 3 ttyUSB ports are configured.
It's an "option" modem, like the Huawei.

We're missing the contents of /var/log/messages for the "Onda" modem in
the non-working case.

Heh, good point :-)
When in doubt, I usually post to all relevant lists. In this case, it's
neither an OLPC nor a Sugar issue, but it may interest both. It's more
likely a Fedora-OLPC issue, for which there's a specific list (already
on cc).

alsa issue
by Yioryos Asprobounitis
Does anyone has an idea what this dmesg might mean?
"[ 554.236469] cs5535audio 0000:00:0f.3: setting latency timer to 64
[ 554.243623] Failure reading codec reg 0x7e,Last value=0x7e805368
[ 554.249827] Failure reading codec reg 0x7e,Last value=0x7e805368"
This shows up during alsaconf in Puppy linux on the XO-1, and although alsaconf finishes without errors there is no sound or card detected by the mixer at the end.
More info is available but I'm afraid I might be a bit off the focus of this list.
So if this rings a bell pls let me know, if not...

Record-76 in os122
by Mikus Grinbergs
Disclaimer: I am not asking for help; I am sharing my experience.
Tried Record-76 with os122 -- it appears to record correctly, and plays
back correctly within Record-76.
Photo panel - I'm satisfied with this capability. Now the screen image
when the XO-1.5 is indoors looks acceptably bright.
Video panel - recording/playback within Record-76 worked.
Synchronization of picture & sound was correct. Was able to play back
video clip with Browse - but picture was only thumbnail size. Etoys
appeared to open the video clip as text - perhaps a problem with etoys.
[Helix called as a choice from the palette on the Journal entry for the
video clip failed to open the URL - perhaps I have an obsolete version
of helix, for which the parameters_passed_on_invocation_from_Journal do
not work correctly).
Audio panel - recording/playback within Record-76 worked. Could play
back the audio clip using Browse or Helix. Etoys could not open the
audio clip - perhaps a problem with etoys.
