Hi All,
I have been off the list and unproductive on the Sugar front for
several weeks. I'm starting a new job on Tuesday so I need to unsubscribe
from the lists for a while. I enjoyed spending time with the kids
at GPA this summer. The timing was great and its an experience I will value
forever.
Hi Caroline,
I recommend Waveplace: http://www.waveplace.org/locations/florida/
I haven't heard much from Tim and team lately but they were always one
of the best deployment and implementation teams in the world.
Also great at PR.
You can try their e-mail subscription contact on that page or I

Hi Guys,
I'm reluctant to dive in to a full blown process discussion but I'm
not opposed to others doing that :-)
Nonetheless, this is a recurring theme which is a barrier to developer
engagement so I'll put in my 2 cents.
A few weeks ago we exchanged some e-mails abut how to update the wiki

Hi Gary,
Thanks for the comments and follow up!

want feedback on from kids, copy me or call out
Hi Walter,
That looks cool. Will it allow the kids to make the games they described?
The hardest one may be the last. From the screen shot, it looks like
you don't need to learn a lot of Turtle logic to play the game but you
may need to learn it to create new games.
Do you plan to use this new g

Looking at the list of main goals for GPA

priority items:

Here are my notes from today's class. Anurag will send out notes on
what we did in class so I will focus on UI and usability comments. I
also recorded the post class warm/cold comments.
Sorry I didn't get a chance to get on IRC after the class as planned.

I'm sending this to the devel instead of the IAEP list as it contains

Feel free to forward to other lists, blogs etc. as appropriate.

Hi Caroline,
Can you send over any details you have on the curriculum at GPA?
Anything covering what the teachers are trying to teach and what they
are doing outside the computer lab will be very helpful.

I created a Feature request for backup and restore here:

I'm still not sure how to "tie" it to GPA or a release or pile of

that, please go ahead. I'll watch what
