| + | Join us. |
− | * making XO-4s—the machine we aspired to build at OLPC in 2006 is available as the XO-4 laptop—available from us pre-installed with the 2016 release of Sugar individually or in batches of 20+ with 1+ school server units, so any developer can get one conveniently and any classroom-sized group anywhere can become a Local Lab with almost "1 click" like convenience if they have $X to put down;
| |
− | * Providing a step-by-step guide on the homepage website to setting up a 2016 vintage deployment device—one that can be purchased in quantities of 30+ for under $100 each—that covers where to buy them, how install Sugar on all of them at the time of deployment;
| |
− | * successfully completing 6 GSoC projects;
| |
− | * fully staffing all boards, offices, and committees;
| |
− | * making 2 releases of Sugar;
| |
− | * porting 5 Activities to Sugarizer, a web-based version of Sugar;
| |
− | * Allow running Sugar Activities outside Sugar;
| |
− | * Make "Sugar On A Stick" into "Sugar Local Lab On A Stick," so that sugar communities without active/direct internet connections can do more to self-support themselves, and eventually upload what they have back to the central repos;
| |
− | ** Sugarizer becomes self-translatable, and via sugar-web thus make sugar desktop self-translatable;
| |
− | * consolidating all active development to Github;
| |
− | ** Making the github org membership a 'badge of honor' similar to [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2011-July/013736.html the old certificates];
| |
− | * cleaning up all Sugar Labs websites, starting with the wiki and issue tracker;
| |
− | * liberate the ''Learning To Change The World'' text;
| |
− | * Localize all 5 activities/games that were produced in Collaboration with the Children of the Seed-Programmers Workshop+SugarCamp in Chía (La ciudad de la luna ;) Colombia on 2014;
