Happy New Year.

1. Sugar Labs will be participating in Google Code-in again this year. Ignacio
 +
Rodriguez and I are the program administrators and are gathering
 +
suggestions for bite-sized tasks in coding, documentation, research, design,
 +
and outreach. We'll also be scouring the open issues in the various
 +
Sugar-related repos for tasks. Please pass your suggestions our way. Also, if
 +
you are interested in mentoring, please contact me. Finally, it would great if
 +
you could help spread the word about the contest among educators so that we can
 +
reach out to as many potential participants as possible (the contest is open to
 +
13-17 year olds). GCI is a great opportunity to recruit new talent into the
 +
community. Details of the contest are available at [https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/resources/contest-rules developers.google.com]. The Sugar Labs page
 +
describing our participation is at [[Google Code In 2017]].
   −
1. Three weeks into [https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci Google Code-in], a remarkable 238 tasks have been completed by 95 students. One student has already completed 36 tasks!!! And our mentor team, led by former grand prize winners, Ignacio Rodríguez and Sam Parkinson, have been responsive and supportive. I'm very pleased with the energy that the GCI program brings to our development process.

2. There is a new release of Music Blocks available [https://github.com/walterbender/musicblocks/releases/tag/v2.1 3]. Features include a
−
+
marked improvement in performance and lots of bug fixes. Tip of the hat to

2. We have a Sugar Labs Oversight Board meeting on Monday, 4 January at 23:00 UTC. We meet on irc.freenode.net (#sugar-meeting). Please join us for the first meeting of the calendar year and the final meeting of the current board: the election of the new board will be held in mid-January. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Daniel Francis, José Miguel García, Adam Holt, Chris Leonard, Gonzalo Odiard, and Claudia Urrea for their years of service to the community. I'm enthusiastic about the quality and dedication of [[Oversight_Board/2015-2016-candidates|the candidate pool]], so I am certain that Sugar Labs will be in good hands going forward.
+
Devin Ulibarri, Edgar Quispe, and Euan Ong for their contributions to this
−
 
+
release.

3. Congratulations to Lionel, Sameer, and Adam for being re-elected to the Sugar
 +
Labs oversight board. (And thanks to everyone who voted for my return to the
 +
board as well.) Our next meeting is on 3 November at 19UTC in the #sugar-meeting channel of irc.freenode.net.
