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.

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.

I've also begun documenting both Turtle Art and Turtle Art Portfolio in the wiki: [[Activities/Turtle Art|Turtle Art]] and [[Activities/~~TAPortfolio~~|Turtle Art Portfolio]].
