> 1. 2012 has started off with a big splash. In the OLPC demonstration
> of their prototype tablet--the XO-3.0--at the Consumer Electronics
> Show (CES), Sugar figured prominently. The XO surrounded by a spiral
> of Activity icons was everywhere (e.g., [1]). Featured in Ed
> McNierney's (OLPC CTO) nonstop demo was Measure, Turtle Blocks,
> Wikipedia, and Fraction Bounce, among others.
>
> The OLPC devel team did some tweaks to Sugar to enhance it on the
> tablet: the Frame can be invoked by dragging your finger to the lower
> right-hand corner of the screen. Clicking anywhere on the canvas hides
> the Frame. Works pretty well. Of course, there is a ways to go to
> realize a full touch integration. It was amusing to watch people use
> the gestures they've grown accustom to on their iPads to no effect in
> Sugar. The work on porting to GTK-3 (Sugar 0.96) will make a big
> difference there.
>
> I made a few tweaks to Turtle Blocks for the demo: (1) I try to
> distinguish between a click on a block and a short drag of the
> block--it is hard to click on a touch screen without some x-y
> displacement; (2) I added a mechanism for changing the values in
> number blocks without a keyboard; and (3) I tightened up the toolbars
> so that they would fit on the smaller XO-3.0 display. While all of
> these changes are more general in their applicability, #3 is something
> we need to think about for all small displays as it is often the case
> that not all of the toolbar buttons fit.
>
> 2. In addition to the GTK-3 migration, we have a few more features
> queued up for Sugar 0.96 (See [2]). The one I am working on at the
> moment is Write to Journal anytime [3]. The goal is to encourage more
> writing and reflection throughout the process of using an Activity,
> not just when you close it at the end of the first session. The
> mechanism I am experimenting with is to add a new toolbar palette to
> the Activity Toolbar that incorporated a text-entry field. By typing
> into this field, you can add notes to the Activity Description found
> in the Journal. It is my hypothesis that by making it easier to take
> notes while one is working, we may see more note taking and the vision
> of the Journal as a "lab notebook" may finally be realized.

> 3. Aleksey Lim continues to make progress on the "Sugar Network" [4],
> a platform he is developing in Peru in order to facilitate sharing of
> content, with an emphasis on the needs of off-line deployments.

> 4. Bernie Innocenti and Stefan Unterhauser (Dogi) are getting ready to
> migrate our servers to a new colocation site. We have been hosted by
> the Free Software Foundation, but since they are going to be moving to
> a new colocation site, we are planning to consolidate our servers in a
> server room at MIT. Details about the migration will be announced well
> in advance and we don't expect any major disruption of services. Stay
> tuned.

> 5. Tony Forster, Guzmán Trinidad, Andrés Aguirre, Facundo Benavides,
> Federico Andrade, Alan Aguiar, Gonzalo Tejera, and I have written a
> paper about using Turtle Blocks with sensors. A draft is in the wiki.
