1. [http://www.google-melange.com/gci/homepage/google/gci2012 Google Code-In] begins tomorrow. It is not too late to [[GoogleCodeIn2012/Participate#Mentors|sign up as a mentor]] and to [[GoogleCodeIn2012/Participate#Students|recruit students to participate]]. While many of [[GoogleCodeIn2012#Tasks|the tasks]] involve programming, there are also documentation, design, and research tasks. This is a great opportunity for Sugar Labs to recruit its next generation of developers.

(Croyez ceux qui cherchent la vérité, doutez de ceux qui la trouvent; doutez de tout, mais ne doutez pas de vous-même.)

2. Sugar Labs is holding its annual election to the oversight board early next month. If you are interested in running for one of the open board seats, open to any community member, please feel free to contact me or the membership committee with any questions before 7 December.

 

 

2. Google Code-In [http://www.google-melange.com/gci/homepage/google/gci2012] began on Monday. We have 22 mentors [http://www.google-melange.com/gci/dashboard/google/gci2012#all_orgs_mentors], 40 students [http://www.google-melange.com/gci/org_scores/google/gci2012/sugarlabs2012], and 79 out of 132 tasks already completed [http://www.google-melange.com/gci/dashboard/google/gci2012#all_org_tasks]. (More tasks are coming on-line soon.) The contest runs for 6 weeks, so it is not too late to [[GoogleCodeIn2012/Participate#Mentors|sign up as a mentor]] and to [[GoogleCodeIn2012/Participate#Students|recruit students to participate]]. Some highlights include new tutorials for Turtle Art, using Sugar in a Virtual Machine, and using Sugar on a Stick; a new feature: load a background image on the home screen; and numerous patches in support of internationalization. Some of the usual suspects are making their usual outstanding contributions, while some new talent is also emerging. Thanks to everyone (mentors, students, and Google) for participating.
