* Dennis heard from the developer of Assimilate and responded. See [[Flash_Card_Game_-_Assimilate#Contacts | Contacts]].

* At this point, our goals are not being met due to getting behind working on setting up a development environment other than the XO. James is currently working on his previous milestones using the XO to develop on. Dennis is working on getting Synergy to connect an XO to a regular laptop. Brendan is working on assembling a lesson plan to help teachers effectively utilize Assimilate.

* We did not accomplish anywhere near what we had planned for and hopped to complete at this point. We have made small changes to the code which James is in the process of uploading back to git, but the game has not changed much at all.
* Development environment progress update
** Dennis was unable to get synergy to work properly with the OLPC and windows. I have used synergy on non-olpc computers and it works great. Perhaps if you try it with Linux or a Mac you might have success. This would have been the best development environment in my opinion, but I just couldn't get the two machines to connect.
** Dennis installed Sugar as a program in Ubuntu via the Synaptic Package Manager without problems. However, we still ran into the same issues we have had in the past. We couldn't get Assimilate to run weather we installed it from source or from the .xo file. This is confusing to us since we installed and ran Assimilate fine with the same .xo file on the OLPC. The closest we get is clicking on the icon on the circle of programs and seeing the splash screen. Then it dies and goes back to the circle of programs screen.
* Final tasks
** James is uploading the modified code back into git.
** Dennis is updating the wiki, creating a "how to play/use this game" document, and emailing the Math4 group to explain our situation and look for interested developers to continue this project.
** Brendan is writing our "Lesson Plan" document which Erik requested.
