Another good news: we found a space for the CodeSprint on monday 12th: we will be hosted at LaCantine, in the heart of Paris. So the week-end will be both for code/doc and global OLPC and Sugar outreach, and the monday will be for coding only... Christoph Guéret, developing SemanticXO to interface Sugar and database like DBPedia¹ will be here. Developers of OOo4Kids² and Kiwix³ might join IRC discussions over the week-end. Looking forward to seeing you in Paris! ¹ http://www.slideshare.net/cgueret/semanticxo-connecting-the-xo-with-the-worlds-largest-information-network ² http://wiki.ooo4kids.org/ ² http://www.kiwix.org/ Hi Bastien, thanks a lot for the update and all the preparation work by you and the other OLPC France folks. I'd also like to draw people's attention to http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Bzg/SugarCamp and particularly the section about Off-schedule hacking sessions. I think similarly to the code sprint at eduJAM! (http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/EduJAM/2011/Code_Sprint) it makes sense to use w.s.o to prepare and subsequently document what's going on in Paris. Especially for the coding and design related efforts figuring out some sort of priority among the tasks might also be useful.

[IAEP] team updates
At the last Sugar Labs oversight board meeting [1], we discussed the need to update the status of the various teams and local labs. You are receiving this email because you are currently listed as a team coordinator on the wiki [2]. We would like each of you to make a short report on your team by email to the iaep list by 9 September and plan to attend the next scheduled SLOBs meeting, 16 September. Below [3] is an outline prepared by John Tierney that may serve to guide you in preparing your report. I am aware that some of you are no longer active in your roles. In those cases, could you please send me some names of possible replacements as team coordinators. Also, in some cases, the teams themselves are perhaps obsolete. This will be one of the discussion topics on the 16th. Note that Sebastian Silva will be contacting the local labs on behalf of the oversight board. Looking forward to hearing from you.
