Bibliothèque Nationale (French National Library) website (See [http://expositions.bnf.fr/utopie/grand/3_95b1.htm]). Perhaps a little less unsettling is [http://expositions.bnf.fr/utopie/grand/3_95a3.htm], although I am still very happy using my 19th century transportation technology, the bicycle. Seriously, one-to-one computing is first and foremost about learning: kids learning; teachers learning; communities learning. Gary Stager, one of the early advocates of one to one does a nice job of articulating a vision of learning at a recent discussion at the Omar Dengo Foundation in Costa Rica (See [http://vimeo.com/25700703]).

2. Under the leadership fo Chris Leonard, the Translation Team has been engaged in upstream and downstream outreach. We are now hosting PO files for AbiWord and GNASH (See [http://translate.sugarlabs.org/projects/upstream_POT]) and PO files for Waveplace downstream (See [http://translate.sugarlabs.org/projects/Waveplace]). We are also tracking the status of Sugar/OLPC-relevant upstream GNOME and

Rodriguez and I are the program administrators and are gathering
 +
suggestions for bite-sized tasks in coding, documentation, research, design,
 +
and outreach. We'll also be scouring the open issues in the various
 +
Sugar-related repos for tasks. Please pass your suggestions our way. Also, if
 +
you are interested in mentoring, please contact me. Finally, it would great if
 +
you could help spread the word about the contest among educators so that we can
 +
reach out to as many potential participants as possible (the contest is open to
 +
13-17 year olds). GCI is a great opportunity to recruit new talent into the
 +
community. Details of the contest are available at [https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/resources/contest-rules developers.google.com]. The Sugar Labs page
 +
describing our participation is at [[Google Code In 2017]].

5. There are a plethora of reasons for us to begin work phasing out Hippo Canvas. (Hippo Canvas is a GNOME-based toolkit used to implement the Sugar Desktop and a few other UI elements.)
 
* Fedora is dropping support for Hippo Canvas, so if we want to continue using it, we'll have to maintain it ourselves;
 
* Hippo Canvas won't be supported in gtk3.0 and will thus impede our efforts to migrate Sugar; and
 
* Hippo Canvas does not support GNOME accessibility features, making it difficult to leverage the broader community's accessibility efforts;
 
Tomeu Vizoso made a branch of Sugar last year and began efforts to remove Hippo Canvas from the Sugar Desktop. I am picking up where he left off, in part motivated by the need to make some changes to the Journal Detail View in order to accommodate the 800x480 resolution display used on the Okidata laptop being given to teachers in Uruguay. In parallel Daniel Drake is jumping head first into the Sugar Toolkit.

Gary Martin has generated a SOM from the past few weeks of discussion
 
on the IAEP mailing list.

3. Congratulations to Lionel, Sameer, and Adam for being re-elected to the Sugar
 +
Labs oversight board. (And thanks to everyone who voted for my return to the

board as well.) Our next meeting is on 3 November at 19UTC in the #sugar-meeting channel of irc.freenode.net.

Latest revision as of 20:05, 6 June 2019

What's new

This page is updated every few weeks with notes from the Sugar Labs community. (The digest is also sent to the community-news at sugarlabs.org list, blogged at walterbender.org, and archived here.) If you would like to contribute, please send email to walter at sugarlabs.org by the weekend. (Also visit planet.sugarlabs.org.)


Sugar Digest

1. Sugar Labs will be participating in Google Code-in again this year. Ignacio Rodriguez and I are the program administrators and are gathering suggestions for bite-sized tasks in coding, documentation, research, design, and outreach. We'll also be scouring the open issues in the various Sugar-related repos for tasks. Please pass your suggestions our way. Also, if you are interested in mentoring, please contact me. Finally, it would great if you could help spread the word about the contest among educators so that we can reach out to as many potential participants as possible (the contest is open to 13-17 year olds). GCI is a great opportunity to recruit new talent into the community. Details of the contest are available at developers.google.com. The Sugar Labs page describing our participation is at Google Code In 2017.

2. There is a new release of Music Blocks available 3. Features include a marked improvement in performance and lots of bug fixes. Tip of the hat to Devin Ulibarri, Edgar Quispe, and Euan Ong for their contributions to this release.

3. Congratulations to Lionel, Sameer, and Adam for being re-elected to the Sugar Labs oversight board. (And thanks to everyone who voted for my return to the board as well.) Our next meeting is on 3 November at 19UTC in the #sugar-meeting channel of irc.freenode.net.
