===Sugar Digest===
==Sugar Digest==


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. By 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.

===Help wanted===
7. One recommendation from the marketing team is to add more pictures to the website that show kids using Sugar. Please send candidate favorite pictures to the Sugar Marketing team.
8. Sebastian Silva posted this call for volunteers:
:We've started a good friendly relationship with one of the more interesting deployments of OLPC in Colombia, specifically in Medellín. They are looking for volunteers that will help them with English. We think this is a great opportunity for a Sugar volunteer to work in a Deployment and engage the Maureen Orth deployment with the rest of the community. See [[Vacancies#Deployments|Vacancies]].
===In the community===
9. We had a preliminary brainstorming session regarding what types of projects we might do in conjunction with the Sugar Labs cycling team's participation in the Tour of Uruguay at the end of April. Read about it here: [[Vuelta_a_Uruguay|Vuelta a Uruguay]].
===Tech Talk===
10. Tom Gilliard (satellit) has been making steady progress on Sugar images for use in virtual machines. In particular, he is getting much better (more stable and consistent) results on MAC hardware. See [[Emulator image files#Other virtual machines]]. The Trisquel image is particularly compelling.
11. Fred Grose has been working on SoaS-remix: a bundle of edit-liveos.py and supporting scripts to make testing and use of Sugar on a Stick easier. See [[Sugar on a Stick/Sugar Clone]].
12. Yioryos Asprobounitis announced a new version of Sugar running in Puppy Linux.
