Re: [Sugar-devel] GSoC 2021 Ideas
GSoC 2021 is now accepting applications from mentoring organisations. Sugar Labs has until 19th February to apply. We still need ideas.

Re: [Sugar-devel] GSoC 2021 Ideas
Another idea would be an email client for Sugar, I dunno if one exists. The last I could find was "sweetmail" iirc from git.sugarlabs.org On 1/19/21 12:25 AM, James Cameron wrote: The project task checklist is not a good source of information.

Re: [Sugar-devel] GSoC 2021 Ideas
The project task checklist is not a good source of information. There are 138 search results for "exec = sugar-activity ", and 173 for "from sugar.activity". Not all of these can be worked, but there's plenty of opportunity without looking beyond GitHub for sources. However, if we run out of GitHub sources that need work, we have Gitorious at git.sugarlabs.org, and bundles at activities.sugarlabs.org. I've an idea for a blockchain learning app, using an intentionally weak hash so as to avoid children depleting laptop batteries with mining.

Re: [Sugar-devel] GSoC 2021 Ideas
Hi, Regarding `Port Sugar and core activities to Python 3` I think this is still relevant and does not require changes to last year's project. I also agree with Jui. As the number of hours is reduced, we can try to reduce the number of items given in the 'Project Task checklist'. As Port to Telepathy (https://github.com/orgs/sugarlabs/projects/4) here it shows it is almost completed except for one activity remaining, it requires minimal concern this year. Port to the latest sugargame and collabwrapper, Port to Python 3 requires major importance this year according to me. "Reviewing the Sugar source code changes that were made for porting to Python 3" is also essential to include in the task list.

Hi, We are yet to add Ideas-2021.md file. - Given a change in the number of hours this year, any suggestions on changes to last year's projects are welcome. - It would be great if people who are familiar with recent work on Sugarizer and Music Blocks could speak about the relevance of last year's project ideas. - My opinion on last year's projects for Sugar (accepted projects for GSoC 2020) : `Improve and maintain Sugar Activities` is still relevant however the number of activities can be reduced to 15 (we can discuss the number) `Port Sugar and core activities to Python 3` I think this is still relevant and does not require changes to last year's project. `Debian advocacy for Sugar` we should definitely keep this as long as there is someone willing to mentor.
