1. It was busy week: Simon, Aleksey, Sascha, and Tomeu have been working around the clock on putting the finishing touches on the new 0.86 release of Sugar while Gary has been trying to keep pace with testing and documentation. It is looking great. I kept busy too: chacing a few more bugs in Turtle Art; writing a grant proposal with help from David, David, and Caroline to the Wal-Mart foundation (seeking support to run teacher workshops and do outreach); meeting with a team from Babson who will help us develop a plan for how to present Sugar to school districts; a panel at the Harvard Kennedy School to a gathering of entrepreneurs in technology and development, ‘Beyond Mobile: The Next Generation of Technology for Empowerment’; an article in [http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20090918110925298 Groklaw] (with lots of help from Sean); and a presentation at Software Freedom Day.

I did have a chance to do some reading: Bahktiar Mikhak posted a link to an old paper by Seymour Papert, [http://www.papert.org/articles/ComputerCriticismVsTechnocentric.html "Computer Criticism vs. Technocentric Thinking"]. He wrote it almost 30-years ago and I had last read it more than 10-years ago, but it is still relevamt today.
