My OLPC work this week:

• Finished merging Simon’s dotted Sugar activity version support from a few months ago now that appropriate base libraries are in Fedora.
• More work on the libertas resume hang bug. I may have identified the cause and fixed it, testing next week will confirm.
• Some forward-looking work on running rawhide (to become Fedora 16) on the XOs.
• Cleaned up some kernel odds-and-ends, upstreamed a couple more patches

My work for OLPC over the past week:

• Submitted the 11 power management kernel patches prepared last week
• Progress on the libertas resume crash, but still not fixed.
• Tested and merged Jon’s XO-1.5 hardware mouse cursor work

• Fixed widget layout issue in Sugar’s “Switch to GNOME” dialog
