As the summer wraps up I would like to congratulate our friends from RIT on a very successful summer program.
Last spring we started off a brainstorm about how to set up a Sugar Shack; a house for participants to come and live for a few month or even a year to hack on Sugar. Rather early in the discussion professor Stephen Jacobs jumped in and said, "Hey, this aligns with a student co-op program I would like to start." Stephen gathered two very talented mentors, Karlie Robinson and Frederick Grose. Well, we didn't rent a house. But Stephen, Karlie and Frederick did gather three students, Eric Mallon, Tyler Bragdon, and Wesley Dillingham, with courage to be the first through the program. Instead of the house, we are coming down to Boston for a week of reflection, hard work, and a little bit of fun:) It looks like we will arrive Monday the 9th. Tuesday and Wednesday we will reflect on what worked, what didn't work, and how we can improve things for the next iteration. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday we will buckle down and work on a deployment related task that we identified earlier in the week. Fred has put up a full draft schedule at http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Summer_Program/Massachusetts_Field_Trip . Don't worry, Fred has included a fair bit of fun in the schedule. If you are in town, please stop in and join us! david _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
