	~~This page contains information specific to the May 30 to August 30, 2017 round of [https://www.gnome.org/outreachy/ Outreachy] internships.~~		Sugar Labs is currently not participating in the Outreachy Programme

	~~== About Sugar Labs ==~~

	At Sugar Labs~~, we make tools that learners use to explore, discover, create, and reflect. We encourage our users to appropriate them, taking ownership and responsibility for their learning.~~

	~~Sugar Labs, a volunteer-driven, non-profit organization, had its origins in the One Laptop Per Child project and is has been a member project of the Software Freedom Conservancy since 2008.~~

	~~Sugar~~ is both a desktop and a collection of Activities. Activities, as the name implies, are Apps that involve active engagement from the learner. Activities automatically save results to a journal, where reflections are recorded. Activity instances can be shared between learners; many support real-time collaboration.

	* Sugar facilitates sharing and collaboration: Children can write, share books, or make music together with a single mouse-click.
	* Activities, not ~~applications: Sugar activities are applicable beyond the scope of the classroom and even Sugar itself.~~
	* Automatic backup of Activity work; no worrying about files or folders. Sugar’s Journal makes it almost impossible to lose any data.
	* The Sugar Journal records everything you do: It is a place to reflect upon and evaluate your work.
	* Sugar runs on most computer hardware, including slower machines.
	* Sugar is Free (Libre) Software: It is written in the Python language and easily customized.
	* Sugar is documented by its users: It is easy to use and teachers worldwide have created a wealth of pedagogical materials for it.
	* Sugar is largely written and maintained by its users.
	* Sugarizer is a fork of Sugar available for tablets and phones.

	~~Our primary FOSS License is GNU General Public License version 3.0 (GPL-3.0).~~

	~~=== About Our Community ===~~

	As mentioned above, our community is composed 100% by volunteers. May (most) of are contributors are youth who use (of have used) Sugar in school. We have participated in Google Code-in and Google Summer of Code for many years, which have also been a source of contributions to the project.

	Our community members span the globe—and while we have never had a commit from Antarctica, Sugar has been used on every continent. Contributors bring many skills: Python and JavaScript programming; graphic design; marketing and communication; documentation; user-interface design; game design; pedagogy; research into best practices; and, perhaps most important, using Sugar as a tool for learning.

	~~Our mentors are:~~

	* walter AT sugarlabs DOT com
	* devin AT devinulibarri DOT com

	~~=== Getting Started ===~~

	~~These days there are a number of different paths to getting started with Sugar. You can:~~
	* follow the instructions for setting up our developer environment [https://developer.sugarlabs.org/];
	* try Sugarizer [http://sugarizer.org/]; or
	* explore some of our stand-alone activities such as Music Blocks [http://walterbender.github.io/musicblocks/].

	We have lots of open issues in our various GitHub repositories: [https://github.com/sugarlabs] and [https://github.com/walterbender/musicblocks], some of which involve some coding, but many of which involve testing and documentation.

	~~=== Sponsors ===~~
	Outreachy is hosted by [https://sfconservancy.org Software Freedom Conservancy] with the special support from [https://www.redhat.com Red Hat] and the [https://www.gnome.org/foundation/ GNOME Foundation].
