;what we have been working on:Walter has been administering [[Google Code In 2017|GCI 2017]], and working on Music Blocks and Turtle Blocks. James has been reviewing pull requests, checking licensing, testing Sugar on Ubuntu 18.04 beta, releasing Speak-55 and Read-118.1, and fixed a Paint activity empty canvas.

;progress of GCI 2017:Almost 400 students, how to make a pull request, some solid contributions, some new activities.
+
;cross-platform development:There are broken JavaScript activities that don't run on Sugar desktop. Contributions are being wasted, and opportunity lost. We had a Cross-Platform environment. We have attracted JavaScript Web developers instead of JavaScript Cross-Platform developers. We need Cross-Platform developers to merge the diverged libraries, and apply Cross-Platform practices to both libraries and activities.
