 As some of you may know, this week was the Google Code In winners
 ceremony,
 where Ignacio Rodriguez from Uruguay and Jorge Gómez López from El
 Salvador, our finalists,
 their parents and I on behalf of SugarLabs,
 came to San Francisco. This is brief report,
 to share the experiece with the community.
 The event was perfectly organized,
 with a excelent work from Stephanie Taylor,
 and her team. They shown not only profesionalism,
 but love by the project.
 We participated with other 9 projects.
 The event started the last Sunday at the night,
 with a presentation of all the winners, and food.
 Googlers gave us food, a lot of food, all the time :)
 The Monday we had a visit to the Google campus,
 with the official prizes ceremony,
 and a talk from Chris DiBona, Director of Open Source at Google.
 Later some Googlers gave us talks about the projects where they work, and
 about their career.
 All the talks were different, some more technical,
 some more human, but all had good advices for the kids.
 The Tuesday was a day to know the city,
 we could choice between go to Alcatraz Island,
 or to do a tour in Segway for the city.
 The Segway are fun devices, and we had a little
 training before doing the tour. Ignacio said the
 Alcatraz excursion was very fun too.
 Later we went to the Academy of Sciences,
 (is like a giant museum but alive, have collections,
 a beautifull aquarium, a planetarium, and so.
 We had a Behind the Scenes Tour, with a guide,
 and the possibility of see places not opened to the public,
 like the places where the researchers work.
 Today was the last day, we went to Google offices in SF
 and we had the possibility of present every one of our projects.
 Later we went to San Francisco State University,
 to meet Sameer Verma, who did a interview to
 Jorge and Ignacio.
 All the week was a very nice experience, we could talk face to face
 with our students, students from other projects,
 and other mentors. We interchanged experiences,
 about how they manage GCI and GSoC contest,
 and I tried to start contacts with other projects
 related to us. In fact tomorrow I will visit the
 Wikimedia offices (is amazing how many internet
 companies and groups are in the SF area)
 I will upload photos when return home,
 just need do a selection, SF is a incredible place,
 I took 1000 photos!
 Sameer already shared photos from the OLPC SF
 meeting the last Saturday, from my part,
 I enjoyed participate in the meeting.
 I talked about the features in Sugar 0.100
 and 0.102, the webactivities,
 and other trends in Sugar development.
 They shared the project they have, as the work in Pathagar and statistics
 visualization.
 I hope we can work more connected in the future,
 SugarLabs and OLPC SF.
 Regards,

The background contest doesn't specify the deadline for submitting a
background, what's the deadline?

 ==Sugar Digest==

 1. Daniel Narvaez just released Sugar 0.101.6 (unstable). See [1] for
 detailed notes on changes since Sugar 0.100. The tarfiles are
 available at [2-4] and new test builds are being prepared (keep an eye
 on [5]). We've entered Feature Freeze (which had been extended by
 three weeks to enable us to land a few more features). Time to chase
 down bugs. Tip-of-the-hat to Gonzalo Odiard, Martin Abente, and Manuel
 Quiñones, who put so much effort into getting the last few features
 over the hump. Also, an extraordinary number of new features were
 contributed by our Google Code-in students: special kudos to Emil
 Dudev, Ignacio Rodriguez, and Sam Parkinson. Finally, it was really
 nice to see so many first-time contributors.

 2. Gonzalo has made some videos demonstrating the new features in both
 Sugar 100 [6] and Sugar 102 [7].

 3. We are reviewing Google Summer of Code applications. We had 35
 applicants this year. We'll know in a few weeks how many slots we get
 from Google.

 4. I traveled to Colombia a few weeks ago with Claudia Urrea to visit
 a wonderful ANSPE project in Chia being run by Aura Mora [8]. Saw some
 old friends (Sebastian Silva, Laura Vargas, and Sandra Barragán) and
 made many new friends. The highlights for me were the two Turtle Art
 workshops: one at the National University in Bogota and the other with
 the children in Chia.

 5. Claudia and Erik Blankinship joined me on a panel discussuion at
 LibrePlanet 2014 [9]. The panel, which will be available online, was
 No more mouse: saving elementary education.

 :The lack of a mouse and the presence of the mouse are having a
 detrimental impact on global elementary education. The rush to adopt
 tablets is putting passive tools of consumption into the hands of
 young learners at a time in their development when making is
 paramount. The Disneyification of media further erodes the
 opportunity for personal expression by young learners. In this panel
 we will characterize these threats and discuss strategies for
 combating them.

 === In the community ===

 6. Sugar Camp #3 - Paris, hosted by Bastien Guerry, will be held from
 12-13 April in Carrefour Numérique - Cité des Sciences. For more
 information, see [10].

 7. Claudia will be hosting a Learning Chat on Wednesday, 2 April, at
 10AM EST, 15 GMT. The guest speaker will be Gonzalo. Please join us at
 irc.freenode.net #sugar-meeting. (These meetings will be held
 regularly on the first Wednesday of each month.)

 8. The Sugar Background Image Contest has begun. See [11] for details.

 === Tech Talk ===

 9. I wrote a new activity while I was in Colombia: Word Cloud [12] is
 a simple activity for generating word clouds from text.

 10. Another new activity worth mentioning is Flappy [13] by Alan
 Aguiar. Enjoy. (I cannot get past the first gate.)

 === Sugar Labs ===

 9. Please visit our planet [14].
