Sugar me!
By Claudio Santambrogio. Tuesday, 27. February 2007, 00:05:19
Work on the OLPC XO is progressing - and we got past one of the biggest hurdles so far: integration into the Sugar environment.
The CERTI Foundation, a R&D foundation in Brazil that is testing the OLPC's XO for the Brazilian government, developed all the necessary activity files - a great thanks from the Opera team for the effort João Bosco A. Pereira Filho and his team have put into helping the integration work.
If you want to play with the Opera activity, you'll have to download the activity files and install them according to the instructions:
Everything works fine - except for quitting Opera
… We are currently looking into this new issue… And there is more work going on 
As always, your feedback is welcome!
And while you are waiting for a new build, enjoy here some screenshots of Opera running in the Sugar environment

Are you guys going to leave out the integrated Google search field, or is Opera Software still trying to decide which search engine to integrate?

I am brazilian and the OLPC XO is really in test in some public schools here.
Sometime ago you posted about an Opera version that was being prepared for the OLPC project. Since I knew the laptops were being tested here I kept wondering if they were gonna see Opera someday. And now you tell me the brazilian guys here were directly cooperating with the Opera devs to make it work.. this is the best news ever!
I'm happy to see that the brazilians involved in such a serious project as the OLPC were smart enough to choose Opera. Unfortunately, our sites and magazines dedicated to computers seem to ignore the existence of Opera when the subject is "browsers", all they do is talk about IE and spread the fake facts about how FF revolutionized the web with things like tabbed browsing (which Opera already had years before).
I see this as a first step towards the South American Opera Domination! Now you guys make sure the name OPERA will be stamped somewhere in that browser. Cause in the future those kids that used the OLPC are gonna have their own desktop computers, and when they need a browser they'll remember that name!

1. Quit Opera ;P
2. Close the activity
The problem is that to quit Opera in just one operation you need to modify Opera to send events for Sugar (through DBUS API).
I think this is not very hard to implement and Opera team will do it soon.

If that is the bug where it crashes the system, or 'stays in the task manager', needing you to close it from there, yes, that is a very big bug, for most people.....

I will make it simple! I am not a Linux user before getting my XO machine.
When will OPERA be a basic click and download Activity in the OLPC Sugar environment?
I already downloaded Opera, but have not been able to do it a 2nd time after my XO was remapped. How about a simple Memory Stick download for those machines?
