GSoC/DMP/SSoC

  • GSoC -- things are moving... the first blogs are mostly submitted.
  • DMP -- we will have 6 projects; decisions by the end of the week (We have 233 proposals for DMP.)

Music Blocks

We are preparing to get a new Music Blocks/Turtle Blocks release out. We have 4 new languages: German, French, Italian, and Tamil. And much better coverage for Aymara, Quechua, and Gurani. I'd love to push a bit harder on some of the African languages. Igbo is pretty solid but otherwise we are very sparse. Open to suggestions.

Note: in the sounds/samples/ folder is a README.md file that explains how to add new instruments to MB.

AWS

Noaman: I have opened issues in Sugar AI to discuss with mentors, but they are still unresponded.
