| 2. Mel Chua has been leading the marketing-team discussions the past two weeks. She has brought a renewed energy to the group ([http://sugarlabs.org/go/MarketingTeam/Meetings/02-10-2009#The_actual_meeting log]). We are focusing on setting goals and being more structured in our approach to meeting our goals. Sean Daly's participation has given us more grounding. | | 2.

− | 3. Tony Forster is even more fanatic than I am: he has written "Turtle Lander" in Turtle Art (See [http://tonyforster.blogspot.com/2009/02/turtle-lander.html Turtle Lander]). Previously, I'd written a Turtle Art falling-blocks game (See [[Activities/TAPortfolio#We_got_game|We got game]]). Both of us are trying to understand the limits of Turtle Art as a language.

| In response to last week's discussion about collaboration, I decided to add collaboration to Turtle Art Portfolio. I wanted to see how difficult it would be and have an excuse to think about what a collaborative programming environment might look like. Try sharing Version 16 ([http://sugarlabs.org/wiki/images/e/e7/TurtleArtPortfolio-16.xo TurtleArtPortfolio-16.xo]), but I wouldn't recommend more than 2 or 3 people working together at once. | | In response to last week's discussion about collaboration, I decided to add collaboration to Turtle Art Portfolio.
