| − | 1. The Chipote/Sugarlabs cycling team [http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/7743/Rathe-grabs-Rutas-de-America-stage-win-for-Chipotle-Development-Team.aspx won a stage] in the Rutas Américas race in Uruguay this past week. The big race, the Tour of Uruguay (Vuelta a Uruguay), is not until next month. We have been accumulating some great ideas for learning activities for the children of Uruguay to engage in, leading up to, and during the race (See [[Vuelta a Uruguay]]). We are lacking someone to coordinate these efforts in Uruguay: package up the ideas; get the word out to the teachers and children, etc. Please let me know if you are interested in helping. | + | 1. I have been on the road again. The good thing about traveling is that I get a lot of code written. The bad news is that I am not getting enough sleep. Last week, I was in Oslo for the Go Open conference. Go Open is an annual event in which the city of Oslo celebrates Free Software. I flew overnight from Boston on Monday. Tuesday evening, I was on a really fun panel with Simon Phipps, Allison Randal, Erik Möller, Knut Yrvin and Jonas Öberg. Johannes Brodwall was the moderator of a two-hour-long banter about the culture of Free Software. Before catching some Zs, I had a chance to upgrade the software on Håkon Lei's XO. I gave a keynote the next morning and then headed to the airport in order to get to POSSCON in Columbia South Carolina. I didn't get to the hotel in Columbia until 1AM Thursday morning, which was conveniently located right across the street from convention center. I was a bit confused—a combination of the late hour and lack of sleep—as there was an electronic billboard advertising the Pest Control convention. POSSCON/Pest Control? Am I in the right city? I did find the conference the next morning, where I met up with a number of old friends there, including Mel Chua, David Nalley, Leslie Hawthorn, and David Trask. |
| | | | |
| − | 2. Speaking of Uruguay, it seems that there is consensus to hold a Sugar Camp in Montevideo in conjunction with Ceibal Jam's [[Uruguay_Summit_2011|EduJam]] in May 5–7. The plan is to add two days (Sunday/Monday, May 8, 9) of coding just after the main conference. Details to follow. In the week prior to the Camp, there will be a [[Conozco_Uruguay_Tour|"Conozco Uruguay" Community Exploration Tour]] for those interested in seeing Sugar in action in the schools of Uruguay.
| + | At Go Open, I met Håkon Eriksen from the GNU Free Call project. He and his colleagues are developing a smart phone environment that draws heavily upon the Sugar desktop and collaboration metaphors. The developers are looking at making a GUI-demo available shortly using the FDroid app-repository at http://f-droid.org/. |
| | | | |
| − | We do need to discuss some of the details of the Camp. Please add you ideas to the [[Sugar_Camp_Q2_2011|wiki page]].
| + | Simon Phipps is part of a group of former Sun employees that are supporting a number of projects that were abandoned by Oracle after their acquisition of Sun. One of their projects, OpenAM, looks promising for filling a need we have in Sugar: it provides a centralized authentication service for single sign-on that can be federated. This could be used for supporting activity upload sites that could be accessed at schools, deployment-wide, and globally, with different authorities at each level. I am more and more convinced that having a facility for sharing projects is critical to our pedagogical mission and to our growth. OpenAM may be a candidate project for helping us implement such a facility. |
| | | | |
| − | 3. There will also be a [http://squeakland.org/ Squeakfest] in Montevideo at the end of May (26–28 at Universidad Católica del Uruguay).
| + | I spoke with David Nalley about the [[Math4Team|4th Grade Math]] project. It struck us that while there has been a lot of work done on the project, its impact has not been felt very broadly yet. One concrete idea that came from our discussion was to create a "collection" on the [http://activities.sugarlabs.org Activity Portal] to bring all the math-related activities into one place. Would everyone who is working on 4th Grade Math please send me info about your activity so that I can include it in the [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/collection/math math collection]. |
| | | | |
| − | 4. Christian Marc Schmidt and Gary Martin have been holding weekly design meetings. Along with Sascha Silbe and others, we have been making a lot of progress on a number of backlogged issues. You can read the logs here: [http://meeting.sugarlabs.org/sugar-meeting/meetings/2011-02-13 2011-02-13], [http://meeting.sugarlabs.org/sugar-meeting/meetings/2011-02-20 2011-02-20], [http://meeting.sugarlabs.org/sugar-meeting/meetings/2011-02-27 2011-02-27], [http://meeting.sugarlabs.org/sugar-meeting/meetings/2011-03-06 2011-03-06] and [http://meeting.sugarlabs.org/sugar-meeting/meetings/2011-03-13 2011-03-13]
| + | I turned David Trask onto Turtle Blocks. While he continues in his efforts to get Sugar integrated into the Maine laptop program, he will be able to add Turtle Blocks to their builds right away, thus giving the teachers and students a taste of Sugar. |
| | | | |
| − | 5. Rather than writing my column for the Sugar Digest, once again I have gotten sucked down a coding rat hole :). My two terrible addictions seem to be coffee and Python. Since I last posted, I have been doing more work on the Turtle Art plugin mechanism. I have two community efforts under way to use plugins: Ian Daniher wrote a plugin for WeDo and Emiliano Pastorino has written a plugin for NXT. (An Arduino plugin is also in the works.) I got lots of great feedback from both of them (as well as Raul and Tony) and made some adjustments that will be part of Release 107.
| + | 2. Next week there will be a meeting in Cambridge organized by Claudia Urrea of the pedagogical leads from many of the OLPC deployments to discuss evaluation. While "Not everything that counts can be counted and not everything that can be counted counts"–Albert Einstein–there is an important place for reflection and feedback within learning. This meeting will give us an opportunity to share current practices and broaden our mutual perspectives on assessment. |
| | | | |
| − | Also, as part of Release 107 is better handling of shared turtles when using Turtle Art collaboratively. With the help of Simon, Gonzalo, and Tony, I managed to sort out a number of little problems that added up to a lot of confusion: for example, you can no longer drag a turtle that someone else is sharing with you. This fixes a problem with synchronization of shared turtles ([http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2687 #2687]). Also, the problem with extra turtles appearing when you open a project under a new 'nickname' has been fixed ([http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2441 #2441]).

Meanwhile, [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/addon/4409 download] it and play against the robot.
