I am wondering what would be a good icon to use for that. I have seen the use of a scissor (like editing an activity), or the gear like we use in 'view source'. Any other ideas? And then it would be great if we could set on one and be consistent in activities and use the same icon in all of them. Thanks for raising this, I've added this topic to next weeks Design Team meeting, I'll try and get a few mockups together before then: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Design_Team/Meetings Great - thanks! /me loves the progress we have in design meetings over the last weeks - all thumbs up! For every one item we get through, the agenda seems to quietly grow by two or three new ones ;-) Some misc. thoughts regarding using the existing scissor/edit tool and secondary palette. Pros: * existing Activity edit secondary toolbars usually have only copy, paste, sometimes also undo redo (so there is usually plenty of UI space) * no need to add yet another primary toolbar widget (less complex primary UI and/or space for other tools) * Sugar design model, editing is what you do during an activity to change it, 'creating new' activities should be done before an Activity begins (e.g. home -- start new, and/or proposed Journal duplicate feature). BTW, Think it is OK for an Activity to support clearing/erasing/reseting state (such as Paint, Memorize), though ideally with reliable undo or versioning support to help prevent accidental data loss. All valid points. Cons: * overloading an existing UI category (traditional OS users have certain expectations for an edit menu)? * will folks overlook the edit sub-palette and miss the extra modification features? I fear mostly that - that people will not find that option for several reasons :/ But you are right in that using another icon has issues space wise. Let's see maybe there are other options we have not thought about yet...:) As consensus seems to be for not overloading the scissors/edit icon, I've added an extra Memorize mockup using the cog/gear icon as a stand in container for the create/modify features/view: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Garycmartin#Example_using_cog_icon_for_game_customisation_features Not sure if you caught Sunday's meeting log, but we don't have a single choice for this visual yet. The issue with the cog/gear is that we already use it for view source (and hopefully edit source at some point). As we seem to like the cog/gear in this role we might want to find something better for view-source, or perhaps use the cog/gear as a badge on something else. BTW: I'm still a little concerned with the full canvas view change secondary toolbar interaction (e.g. hovering over icon will switch canvas to edit view, escaping edit mode may then be non-obvious as moving cursor to canvas area should no longer hide the secondary toolbar and edit view). The only way to avoid this interaction issue seems to be for the canvas view change to be triggered by a toggle button, or a radio button pair (play vs. modify).

[Sugar-devel] eduJAM! 2011: A Vibrant Summit With A Diverse Range Of Offerings
We are very excited to update you with the latest information about the eduJAM! 2011 http://ceibaljam.org/?q=edujam2011_en summit. It is great to see that the different pieces of the puzzle are coming together for what will undoubtedly be a landmark for the international community of educational free-software developers. Many of the main developers behind the Sugar platform will be present (Walter Bender, Aleksey Lim (alsroot), and Bernie Innocenti among others http://ceibaljam.org/node/1108). Additionally, people working on different OLPC deployments will be there which guarantees an excellent environment for moving the area of 1-to-1 computing in education projects and related discussions forward. More than anything we aim to make the summit an event to create and amplify relationships in this community. *Place* The summit will take place at the Universidad del Trabajo del Uruguay (UTU) and more specifically in its brand-new PAOF buildinghttp://ceibaljam.org/node/1171 which is located in Ciudad Viaja, the historic and commercial heart of Montevideo. Apart from this allowing us to work within a comfortable and versatile space, it also provides opportunities to enjoy this beautiful part of the city during free hours. *Program* The summit will begin in the afternoon of *Thursday*, May 5 with an informal reception aimed at allowing us to get to know each other as well as catch up. On *Friday*, May 6 the intensive work begins. This day will be organized in two tracks. In the morning we will focus on a broad vision of the core challenges encountered when designing a software platform aimed at learning in school environments in general and in 1-to-1 scenarios in particular. We can revise and revisit these experiences in light of the experiences made within this context in the past few years. What has and hasn’t worked when it comes to the software? How can we support the creation of effective learning communities? How can we make the development processes in such a diverse and distributed community more efficient? Which applications are we still missing? These are some of the questions which will be on the table. In the afternoon the summit will turn sweet as we fully dedicate it to Sugar. On the one hand we will hold a “Sugar Camp” where will discuss the current state of developments, local labs, the roadmap and how to optimize the work in the community. Simultaneously on Friday afternoon there will be workshops aimed at people such as students and newcomers who want to learn how to develop for Sugar. On *Saturday*, May 7 the morning will be focused on the various experiences made in 1-to-1 projects. There will be talks by people working on different deployments, explaining what they have done and discussing the necessities and requirements when it comes to software platform. We consider this to be an important input for planning future work. This afternoon will be run in an “unconference” mode. This means that there will be different talks, workshops, and discussion rounds which will be planned and decided upon by the participants on the spot. We thereby hope to learn more about the various ongoing projects, discuss roadmaps as well as form small development and investigation groups. *Conozco Uruguay Tour* Independent of the summit, a variety of activities will take place in the days leading up to it. These activities are aimed at people who want to explore the experiences Uruguay is making with Plan Ceibal in more depth. They will take place between Saturday, April 30 and Thursday, May 5. Together with RAP Ceibal and OLPC we have developed the following itinerary: - Saturday, 30: Welcome dinner - Sunday, 1: Visit to Tala, Canelones, its rural school and Proyecto Aurora. Asado included;-) - Monday, 2 (morning): Visit to and activities at Escuela 173 in Las Piedras, Canelones - Monday, 2 (afternoon): Meeting with members of Flor de Ceibo, a project by the Universidad de la República which supports Plan Ceibal - Tuesday, 3: Visit to and activities at Esciela 33 in La Paloma, Durazno - Wednesday, 4 (morning): Montevideo city tour - Wednesday, 4 (afternoon): Visit of Euskal Erría school and the RAP Montevideo Center as well as meeting with RAP Ceibal volunteers This agenda is still subject of possible changes but the start (Saturday, April 30) and end dates (Thursday, May 5) have been confirmed. We are also working on possible changes to include a touristic activity such as the visit of a Uruguayan winery. More information is available at: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Conozco_Uruguay_Tour *Sugar Code Sprint* There are also plans for an activity aimed at Sugar developers to take place after the meeting. The days between Sunday, May 8 and Wednesday, May 11 will be focused on intensive Sugar programming sessions in collaboration with developers from Sugar Labs, OLPC and hopefully also other deployments. *A vibrant summit to unite and

Through the follow week AC developers will be available to: 1. Help you solve those critical tasks. 2. Help you push those solutions upstream to OLPC and Sugar Labs. 3. Help you identify and coordinate with other deployments and organizations that are facing similar issues.

This is great Gary, thanks so much! Most of the icons are already very good and quite consistent. And there are a few we could definitely improve. I see we already have both a wrench and a cog. But the more I think about it, it seems that preferences could be a form with checkboxes, or even a pencil making a checkmark. Seems that the message we want to communicate is having a choice, more than the inner workings implied by the cog/gear. What do you think?
