| − | 1. Sugar Labs is going to apply again this year to be one of the organizations in the Google Code-in contest. As you may recall, Google Code-in is a global programming contest for youths 13-17. We have participated the past three years and it has been a very rewarding experience: we have brought many new contributors into Sugar Labs through the program and have had a lot of fun as well. The next few weeks will be critical to the application process. We need to build a collection of tasks for the contestants in five areas: Documentation/Training; Outreach/Research; User Interface; Quality Assurance; and coding. Please send me suggestions or add your ideas to [[Google Code In 2015]]. We also need mentors. If you are interested in participating, please contact me. | + | 1. Sugar Labs has been accepted as one of the participating open-source mentoring organizations in [https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/ Google Code-in 2015]. This will be our fourth year participating in what I personally find to be one of the most exhilarating community activities we engage in. I am especially pleased that this year Google is allowing Sam Parkinson and Ignacio Rodríguez, our "under-aged" finalists from last year, to participate as mentors (with, of course, parental permission). Watching their growth from Sugar user to Sugar developer to Sugar mentor is especially rewarding. |

| − | 2. The Membership committee is launching a campaign to add new members and reaffirm the interest of current members. Expect to hear from them by the end of the month. We will also be soliciting candidates for the Sugar Labs Oversight Board (SLOB), with the election scheduled for December.
| + | If you are interested in being a mentor or suggesting tasks for the contest, please contact me at walter --AT-- sugarlabs.org. I also encourage you to spread the word to schools in your communities. Youths ages 13-17 can participate in a range of activities: coding, documentation, outreach, UI design, quality assurance, etc. Participants will learn a great deal, have fun, and help our community grow. Contact me for more details. |

| − | 3. I've been following up on one of our Google Summer of Code projects, Music Blocks, by Yash Khandelwal under the mentorship of Devin Ulibarri. We have been really having fun and are close to releasing Version 1.0. Please help us with testing. You can run it from [http://walterbender.github.io/musicblocks]. A programming guide is available at [https://github.com/walterbender/musicblocks]. The source is at [https://github.com/walterbender/musicblocks/blob/master/guide/README.md].
| + | 2. Last summer (in the Northern Hemisphere) Sugar Labs mentored six interns participating in the Google Summer of Code program. One of the nice things about this year's program is not only did we have new contributors to the Sugar codebase, but also, the projects attracted some new mentors to the mix. I had the pleasure of working with Devin Ulibarri, a music teacher and Free/Libre Software enthusiast. Devin mentored Yash Khandelwal, a student from IIT Hyderabad, on Music Blocks, software designed for teachers and learners to explore the fundamental concepts of music in a visual-coding environment. |
| | | | |
| − | === In the community ===
| + | We think that "Music Blocks is both innovative and [will be] beneficial to music education in a number of ways: On the one hand, it is a new method for understanding the fundamental concepts of music; on the other, it is a tool for learning coding and logic skills. It integrates both music and STEM fundamentals in a fun, scalable, and authentic way. Lastly—and very importantly—the tool itself is Free/Libre Software, which we argue is the best choice for an equitable and just education because it gives students the freedom to study, without restriction, both how to use the software and how the software itself works, i.e., how it transforms their instructions into their musical inventions."

| − | 4. The Journal RED is available on line at [http://www.um.es/ead/red/46/]. This issue is chockful of "Sugary" articles.
| + | Since the summer, we've been continuing the work and have made sufficient progress to feel comfortable running some workshops. We hope to hold the first Music Blocks workshop will be in Miami sometime before the end of the calendar year; we are coordinating with Eduardo Marturet, music director and conductor of the Miami Symphony Orchestra. |
| | + | |
| | + | While Devin and I had been discussing the ideas behind Music Blocks for some time, this is the type of project that never would have happened without the help of Summer of Code. Yash was able to make our ideas tangible such that we could "kick the tires" and decide whether or not it was worth investing more time into refining the program. It was, but you should judge for yourself. You can run [http://walterbender.github.io/musicblocks/ Music Blocks in a browser]; an [https://github.com/walterbender/musicblocks/blob/master/guide/README.md illustrated guide is available]; and the source is available in [http://github.org/walterbender/musicblocks this git repo]. |
| | + | |
| | + | 3. I gave a talk at an education summit in Dubai in September. It was at the summit that I met Samir Alsulahat, who took an interest in Turtle Blocks. As a consequence, Samir took the time to translate Turtle Blocks into [https://github.com/walterbender/turtleblocksjs/blob/master/po/ar.po Arabic]. |

The Fedora 23 release of [[Sugar on a Stick]] is available with Sugar 0.106. This release of Sugar (v 0.106) is dedicated to the memory of Marco Gritti Presenti. Marco was a member of the original Sugar team and the lead Red Hat engineer on the project over its first three years of development. Soft-spoken but determined, Marco was a founding member of Sugar Labs and one of the original members of the Sugar Labs oversight board. Beyond the code he contributed to the project—he was a gifted software engineer; Marco shared with us his vision that Sugar ultimately belongs to its users. It is the clarity of this vision that is still reflected in the Sugar code-base and the spirit of the Sugar Labs community. |
