Australia will make an effort to be there remotely. I'm likely running a workshop at the beginning of April, so I may not be able to attend the whole sprint. However, we'll contribute in any way we possibly can. Hopefully by then we will have revised a fair amount of our own documentation as we need it ready to release the new Australian build, so we can certainly send that along. We may also have a bunch of lesson plans that could be rewritten/ worked on for an international audience.
I'm not sure what activities are a priority internationally, but apart from the core that is mentioned on the Wiki, our teachers use the following activities a fair amount and might therefore benefit from documentation: - Tuxpaint - Memorize - Labyrinth - Jigsaw puzzle - Cartoon Builder - Stop watch - Distance Tracy Richardson Education Manager One Laptop per Child Australia P: 02 9378 6155 M: + 61 418 744 318 E: tr...@laptop.org.au A: G.P.O.

I would like to re-kindle the idea of screencasts. Here it is briefly: The idea was to script a handful of basic show-and-tell in any activity (start, work through the activity, highlight the various toolbar items, and close with a Journal reflection). Record using a VM or recordmydesktop directly in Sugar, then make the OGV available someplace. The OGV can be split into audio and video, so we can redo the audio in different languages and do localization. We start with a few (six maybe?) and let others jump in. cheers, Sameer > > VIRTUAL ROMANCE AIN'T: Please talk to Caryl Bigenho <ca...@laptop.org> > and our public list <libr...@lists.laptop.org> if you are motivated to > write a particular chapter, but cannot attend in person, thanks!! > > A huge thanks to Master of Ceremonies Laura de Reynal who will be > organizing nightly social events for all.
