ubuntu-sugar-remix-0103.iso release

[dfarning at ubuntu.com]

Well we got another release out the door this week, USR-0110.iso.

--End Users--
The biggest improvement is browse now works, at least on the machines I tested.

Most activities in Ubuntu Sugar Remix are preseeded from activities.sugarlabs.org rather than install as packages.  The only exception is terminal.  If for some reason the preseeding fails, the terminal is still available for debugging.

--Developers--
The release is now built from scratch rather than by unpacking, modifying, and repacking Ubuntu Remix.

We have stated using a PPA for locally modified 10.04 packages.  All patches in the PPA have either been pushed into launchpad, pushed/mentioned to Debian, or pushed/mentioned to Sugar Labs.  The PPA is _just_ a holding place for changes which have not been picked up either upstream or in the official release.

--Community--
We are starting to bring the wiki at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SugarTeam up to data.

We have established the Ubuntu Sugar Team as the maintainer of many of the Sugar related packages.  https://launchpad.net/~sugarteam/+related-software .  Now we can file bugs against specific Sugar packages rather than using sugar-0.88 as a catchall.

--Thanks--
Jonas from the OLPC-Debian-developers.  His newly modified packages are being correctly auto-synced to Lucid.

Jeff and Henry from the Governors Academy.  Henry has gotten Ubuntu Sugar Remix working on a VM so Jeff's class can started testing USR in his lab.

--Call to Action--
