=== Sugar Digest ===

1. Sugar Labs will be participating in Google Code-in again this year. Ignacio
 +
Rodriguez and I are the program administrators and are gathering
 +
suggestions for bite-sized tasks in coding, documentation, research, design,
 +
and outreach. We'll also be scouring the open issues in the various
 +
Sugar-related repos for tasks. Please pass your suggestions our way. Also, if
 +
you are interested in mentoring, please contact me. Finally, it would great if
 +
you could help spread the word about the contest among educators so that we can
 +
reach out to as many potential participants as possible (the contest is open to
 +
13-17 year olds). GCI is a great opportunity to recruit new talent into the
 +
community. Details of the contest are available at [https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/resources/contest-rules developers.google.com]. The Sugar Labs page
 +
describing our participation is at [[Google Code In 2017]].

1. I am writing this update today while waiting to see if I will called to jury duty. I was originally supposed to report last week, but a deferment was granted since I was in Bolzano. I am not sure why I had never been called before—both my wife and children have served several times. But unlike the airport in Rome, there is at least a place to sit and plug in my laptop and get on-line while I wait, so here it goes.
+
2. There is a new release of Music Blocks available [https://github.com/walterbender/musicblocks/releases/tag/v2.1 3]. Features include a
 +
marked improvement in performance and lots of bug fixes. Tip of the hat to
 +
Devin Ulibarri, Edgar Quispe, and Euan Ong for their contributions to this
 +
release.
   −
I was in Rome overnight in transit from Bolzano, where we held a week-long [[Marketing_Team/Events/Sugarcamp_Bolzano_2009|Sugar Camp]]. Bolzano is in South Tyrol, in the Italian Alps. The autonomous regional government is a user of free software and is exploring ways in which they can engage the FOSS community more deeply. They have a regional development organization, [http://www.tis.bz.it/ TIS], that fosters FOSS projects in the region, provides infrastructure and support, and an annual Free Software Week. It was in the context of [http://www.freesoftwareweek.org/ Free Software Week] that we came to Bolzano.
+
3. Congratulations to Lionel, Sameer, and Adam for being re-elected to the Sugar
 +
Labs oversight board. (And thanks to everyone who voted for my return to the
 +
board as well.) Our next meeting is on 3 November at 19UTC in the #sugar-meeting channel of irc.freenode.net.

Rather than meet at TIS, we (Simon Schampijer, Tomeu Vizoso, Dave Farning, Sean Daly, Stefan Unterhauser (Dogi), Carlo Falciola, Adam Holt, Christian Vanizette, and I) spent the week at [http://www.cts-einaudi.it/ CTS Luigi Einaudi], a technical school a short walk from the city center. We were given a comfortable room with Internet access, just upstairs from the school's coffee bar and next door to where the [http://live.gnome.org/ZeitgeistHackFest2009 Gnome Zeitgeist team] was meeting. Over the course of the week, we interacted with teachers, students, developers, and a variety of people in the region who have an interest in Sugar.

  −
We had a busy week. My typical day was to get up at 6:00, go down stairs for an early breakfast with David, who would have already been up for at least an hour, take a 20-minute walk to the school, arriving at 8:00, in time for the first espresso of the day. We'd write code, discuss ideas, brainstorm, and write more code until 20:00, at which point we'd make a plan for dinner—usually a pizza or some knudel and the local weizenbier or a glass of lagrein. Somehow or other, we would never manage to get back to the hostel until after midnight. Pizza, Python, and friends, surrounded by the Dolomites—not a bad way to spend the week.
  −
 
  −
We made progress on the roadmap for 0.88, having [[File:Ideas_0.88_0.90.pdf brainstormed on a number of topics]]. The themes that rose to the top were: a simplified collaboration model; resolution of some outstanding issues regarding the Home View, e.g., how to best launch new verses resume activities; and some changes to the Journal—possibly the incorporation of versions and a better integration of the Journal into the activity workflow, e.g., making it possible to modify the description field while the activity is open. Other themes include accessibility and testing.
  −
 
  −
Simon organized the discussions through the week. He kept us focused and productive. He also got some hacking in, spending time working through many of the issues associated with providing global support for spell-check. In doing this, he'll have laid out the framework for providing other global services.
  −
 
  −
Tomeu spend most of his week being interrupted by people asking him questions. (Five minutes of Tomeu time usually was enough to keep me busy for a few hours.) But he did manage to make progress on his work on Python introspection. This work will lead to a much more efficient use of Python modules in Sugar.
  −
 
  −
David and Dogi (working with Bernie and Aleksey from afar) did an overhaul of some of our back-end systems, which had been becoming stressed as more and more people are using Sugar. (For example, we've already surpassed 1.5-million downloads from activities.sugarlabs.org. It was just a few weeks ago that we reached the 1-million milestone.) They have also stream-lined the process for setting up local mirrors. We encourage you to set up a mirror in your region. (Argentina and Paraguay have recently set up mirrors.)
  −
 
  −
Carlo help us in drafting [[a set of guidelines]] by which third parties might work with Sugar Labs in establishing various value-added services to the Sugar user community. We will be discussing these guidelines over the next few weeks. We also spent time with Patrick Ohnewein from TIS to discuss opportunities specific to South Tyrol.
  −
 
  −
Sean and Christian discussed a number different opportunities regarding marketing. One idea that emerged is ''The Sugar Journal'', along the lines of ''The Perl Journal'', which would include articles written by teachers, developers, and other community members.
  −
 
  −
For my part, I spent most of the week sketching out some ideas. I coded up a [http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xb44q3_color-selector-2_tech color selector] for both the control panel (it has changed a bit since I made the screencast) and the initial start screen and started coding up an activity toolbar widget for accessing the journal detail view from within an activity (as opposed to as you exit an activity), and I learned a bit more about Cairo (it uses a display list) from Tomeu in my efforts to refactor the turtle graphics with in Turtle Art.
  −
 
  −
We had a series of really good discussions with the [http://live.gnome.org/GnomeZeitgeist Zeitgeist] team. Their work definitely has long-term implications for the Journal and they expressed interest in making their work relevant to our needs.
  −
 
  −
We also got some help on the Record activity from Daniel Siegel, the author of [http://projects.gnome.org/cheese/tour Cheese] diagnosed the problems we are having with Blueberry (apprently there is a Cairo bug in Fedora 12) and on the OLPC XO 1.5 hardware (there is a missing driver).
  −
 
  −
2. Before heading to Bolzano, I made a quick trip to the West Coast to give a keynote that the QT Developers Day conference. Lots of enthusiasm for Sugar and lots of work being put into Qt on small-footprint devices.
  −
 
  −
3. Eric Bachard has announced [http://eric.bachard.free.fr/news/2009/11/ooo4kidsactivityxo-is-available.html the availability of the Sugar port of OOo4Kids] (Open Office for Kids). A .xo bundle should be available for download from [http://activities.sugarlabs.org activities.sugarlabs.org] soon.
  −
 
  −
4. We had a Sugar Labs oversight board meeting last Friday in which we discussed mailing list policies. The meeting [[Oversight_Board/Meeting_Log-2009-11-13|log]] is available in the wiki. The next meeting is scheduled for Friday, 20 November 2009 at 15:00 UTC (10:00 EST).
