− | 1. It seems that this is the season for Sugar Camps. The Paris Camp was by all reports quite successful. Christoph Derndorfer reported on Days [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2011-September/014040.html 1] and [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2011-September/014053.html 2] of the camp, which focused mainly on deployments and emerging educational activities from OLPC France. Daniel Drake reported progress on the Sugar development front during the [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2011-September/033343.html code sprint] track: | + | 1. [[0.94/Notes|Sugar 0.94]] has been released! Many thanks to the Release Team for pulling together this latest version of Sugar. It has many improvements, particularly around Journal interaction. The Internationalization Team did a big push to get updated translations into place. And the Activity Team used the release as an opportunity to do a major cleanup of the [[Design_Team/Toolbar_Catalog|activity toolbars]]. It is great to see Sugar continuing to make improvements. Congratulations to all of you who contribute through writing patches, designing, testing, providing feedback, supporting infrastructure, translating, documenting, marketing, and, most important, deploying. |

He recruits the only available guys at the lab, three sociopaths. Together they really compile a revolutionary PC for $99, but then they become the victims of a venture capitalist and Andy's old foe from the research lab.

[http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/10/03/111003fa_fact_gawande "Personal Best"] is by Dr. Atul Gawande, a surgeon, who describes how coaching has helped him eclipse the performance plateau he had reached in his practice. He goes on to describe coaching in the context of classroom teaching. I was reminded of some of the interventions being done in classrooms in Caacupé. We need to continue to look for ways to help teachers better leverage available tools and techniques to reach their children. |

− | Mariana Ludmila Cortés, Pablo Flores, and I are giving a [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Taller_Sugar_Ciudad_de_Mexico_Setiembre_2011 Sugar workshop] on the tail end of an OLE conference in Mexico City at the end of the month. | + | 4. Mariana Cortez Ludmila hosted Pablo Flores and me in Mexico DF last week. Together we ran a workshop on how to write a Sugar Activity. I had asked the participants to prepare by reading the first few chapters of [http://en.flossmanuals.net/como-hacer-una-actividad-sugar/ Jim Simmons's book] on the topic and most had attended a seminar on Sugar and learning taught by Mariana the day before. We started off the morning with a puzzler intended to identify the more tech-oriented (geeky) attendees. This was followed by a quick review of some goals for activity developers, including encouraging risk taking by the children. I concluded with a favorite quote from Samuel Beckett: "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better." After brief introductions, we broke into teams to work on projects. I went from team to team, kibitzing on their progress and occasionally brought something to the attention of the entire room. In parallel, my team--myself, Chris Rowe, and Paulina Clares--worked on an activity ''en plein air''. My laptop was being projected throughout the entire day so that everyone could watch me take two steps forward and one step backward. In the end, we had a new activity, [[Activities/FractionBounce|FractionBounce]] and many more works in progress. I am hoping that this hands-on approach to the workshop had impact. |

− | The Prague Sugar Camp at the end of October is coming into focus. Since Daniel and Raul have made so much progress on the no-hippo work, we'll be able to spend most of our time looking at Gnome 3.0 and introspection issues. One by-product of this push to future-proof the Sugar platform is the re-engagement of some of our key developers, such as Marco Presenti Gritti, whose code reviews have been most welcome.
| + | 6. Andres Aguirre (along with other members of the Butia Team) have also been working in accessibility. They've developed a new activity, [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4487 MouseCam], that lets children with disabilities control the XO by holding up picture cards.

The same team is looking into working on Nahuatl work. In Paraguay, there is some work in Guarani. It is great that Sugar will be available in a child's first language. Having a strong first language is critical to developing good language skills in general. Many thanks to Chris Leonard and the many local teams he is working with. Also, a tip of the hat to Aleksey Lim and Rafael Ortiz who have been working behind the scenes to sort out issues with the Pootle workflow.
