1. Google Code In update: After the first two weeks, we have 33 participants and almost 140 tasks completed. The pace is faster than in years past, perhaps because we have more experienced Sugar users each year. You can follow the action (the contest runs for five more weeks) at [http://www.google-melange.com/gci/homepage/google/gci2014 GCI 2014].

In schools, all hardware and software bestow agency on one of three
 +
parties: the system, the teacher, or the learner. Typically, two of
 +
these actors lose their power as the technology benefits the
 +
third. Ask a group of colleagues to create a three-column table and
 +
brainstorm the hardware or software in your school and who is granted
 +
agency by each. Management software, school-wide grade-book programs,
 +
integrated learning systems, school-to-home communication packages,
 +
massive open online courses (MOOCs), and other cost-cutting
 +
technologies grant maximum benefit to the system. Interactive
 +
whiteboards, worksheet generators, projectors, whole-class
 +
simulations, plagiarism software, and so on, benefit the
 +
teacher. Personal laptops, programming languages, creativity software,
 +
cameras, MIDI keyboards, microcontrollers, fabrication equipment, and
 +
personal web space primarily benefit (bestow agency to) the
 +
learner. -- Gary Stager

At the current pace, almost 500 tasks will have been completed by the end of the contest. If you have project ideas, please let me (or any of the other mentors) know. We can continue to add new tasks throughout the contest. Tasks include coding, but also documentation, quality assurance, outreach, etc.
+
1. Google Code-In. Wow. Finally a chance to catch my breath. Seven
 +
intense weeks: 60 students completed more than 300 tasks for Sugar
 +
Labs. The impact on Sugar Labs was even greater this year than in the
 +
previous years we have participated: more diversity among the
 +
participants, the mentors, the tasks, and a spirit of collaboration
 +
while striving for excellence prevailed throughout the contest. Thanks
 +
to Google and Stephanie Taylor for giving us this opportunity, to the
 +
contestants who not only did great work but taught me a thing or two
 +
along the way, and the mentors and community members who manned the
 +
IRC channel 24/7.

2. We continue to make progress on Turtle Blocks JS (the Javascript version of Turtle Blocks). There have been many new contributions from participants in Google Code In and in generally, the code is approaching a point of stability. You can try it by visiting [https://turtle.sugarlabs.org turtle.sugarlabs.org] or by downloading the activity locally from [https://github.com/walterbender/turtleblocksjs github]. Any and all comments, feedback, bug reports, merge requests, and suggestions welcome.
+
I want to acknowledge the Top Ten+ from whom we will be selecting our
 +
finalists this week (results announce in early February):
 +
 
 +
Ignacio Rodríguez, Daksh, samdroid, cristian99garcia, Ezequiel
 +
Pereira, svineet, Gtrinidad, Jas Park, Rafael Cordano, Richar, Sergio
 +
Britos, Aishmita Kakkar, Gabriel Lee, et al.
 +
 
 +
Also, some mentors (and community members) deserve special
 +
recognition: Andrés Aguirre, Daniel Francis, Gary Servin, Gonzalo
 +
Odiard, James Cameron, Jorge Ramirez, Mariah Villarreal, Rajul,
 +
Rodrigo Parra, and Martin Abente Lahaye.

Finally, a few projects worth mentioning:

and much much more.
 +
 
 +
2. As mentioned above, we have a number of new Turtle Blocks plugins
 +
(for both the Python and Javascript versions) as a result of Google

Code-in. One of the more interesting inspirations for plugins comes

from mashape.com, a repository of APIs for everything from translation
 +
services to a bicycle theft alert system. As Sugar becomes more
 +
web-friendly, we can take advantage of web services and also
 +
facilitate our users to craft their own tools and services. It is fun

and empowering.

What's new

This page is updated each week (usually on Monday morning) with notes from the Sugar Labs community. (The digest is also sent to the community-news at sugarlabs.org list, blogged at walterbender.org, and archived here.) If you would like to contribute, please send email to walter at sugarlabs.org by the weekend. (Also visit planet.sugarlabs.org.)

In schools, all hardware and software bestow agency on one of three parties: the system, the teacher, or the learner. Typically, two of these actors lose their power as the technology benefits the third. Ask a group of colleagues to create a three-column table and brainstorm the hardware or software in your school and who is granted agency by each.

1. Google Code-In. Wow. Finally a chance to catch my breath. Seven intense weeks: 60 students completed more than 300 tasks for Sugar Labs. The impact on Sugar Labs was even greater this year than in the previous years we have participated: more diversity among the participants, the mentors, the tasks, and a spirit of collaboration while striving for excellence prevailed throughout the contest. Thanks to Google and Stephanie Taylor for giving us this opportunity, to the contestants who not only did great work but taught me a thing or two along the way, and the mentors and community members who manned the IRC channel 24/7.

I want to acknowledge the Top Ten+ from whom we will be selecting our finalists this week (results announce in early February):

Ignacio Rodríguez, Daksh, samdroid, cristian99garcia, Ezequiel Pereira, svineet, Gtrinidad, Jas Park, Rafael Cordano, Richar, Sergio Britos, Aishmita Kakkar, Gabriel Lee, et al.

Also, some mentors (and community members) deserve special recognition: Andrés Aguirre, Daniel Francis, Gary Servin, Gonzalo Odiard, James Cameron, Jorge Ramirez, Mariah Villarreal, Rajul, Rodrigo Parra, and Martin Abente Lahaye.

Finally, a few projects worth mentioning:

  • Turtle Blocks JS plugins (Ignacio, samDroid, Daksh)
  • Turtle Blocks guides (Jas Park) [1]
