1. Simon Schampijer and the Sugar release team announced Sucrose 0.88 last night. This is fourth Sugar release since we launched Sugar Labs last year. Beyond the significance of the numerous improvements made to Sugar over the past six months is the professionalism of the release team. They have a predicatble process; this means that deployments can reliably anticipate how Sugar will be able to meet their needs. Also significant is the degree to which deployments participated in this release. Most of the feature requests and many of the patches came from the field. This is a healthy sign, both in terms of Sugar's long-term sustainability and relevance.

You can read about Sucrose 0.88 in the [[0.88/Notes|extensive notes]] compiled by Simon and the team. (Note that many of the 0.88 features have been backported to Sugar 0.84, the version of Sugar initially being deployed on the OLPC XO 1.5 machines.)

7. Thomas C Gilliard has built a first pass Sugar Creation kit as a DVD iso image. The idea is to have a DVD that can be used to create Sugar on a Stick USB keys and to install Sugar onto your computer's hard drive. The image (which is quite large) can be found at [http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/Sugar-Creation-Kit-ver05.iso [3]].

8. Paraguay Educa technology team has released a Sugar/F11 image for field testing in their Caacupé pilot: [http://people.sugarlabs.org/bernie/olpc/f11-xo1-py/os115.img os115.img],[http://people.sugarlabs.org/bernie/olpc/f11-xo1-py/os115.crc os115.crc], [http://people.sugarlabs.org/bernie/olpc/f11-xo1-py/os115.img.fs.zip os115.img.fs.zip].
The image is "a derivative of Stephen Parrish's excellent F11-XO1 series, frozen a few weeks ago to concentrate on stability and field testing." The team's short-term goal is to meet a release criteria of "no regressions against build 801". Once this is done, they plan to synchronize with the latest improvements from our upstreams, F11-XO1.5 and F11-XO1.
