What about an Activity (maybe branching from Physics) that would allow
children to build their own virtual Rube Goldberg machines?
I would be happy to help.

Re: [IAEP] Sugar Labs Website Revamp IRC Mtg 1-8-12 11:00amEST(16:00UTC)

2012-01-08 Thread Christian Marc Schmidt
Hi all

We met today on IRC to discuss the website design and content, but not many
were present. It is important that we get your feedback as the work on the
website progresses. Therefor, I am looking to reschedule our meeting to
another time that works for everyone. See John's original email below: We
are looking for feedback on the design as well as volunteers to help us
generate content for the new website.

Does this coming Saturday 14th at 11:00am EST/16:00 UTC work for everyone?
Or is a time during the week better? Suggestions welcome.

Thank you,


Christian

  Hello All,

 Happy New Year! As the New Year starts we are making another effort to
 restart the
 Sugar Labs Website Revamp.

 Designer and community member Christian Marc Schmidt has put together a
 Design Template along with a
 Sugar Labs Website Refresh: Content Document. These two documents along
 with the work and content
 gathering done by RIT Co-op students Mike Devine and JT Mengel last year
 will hopefully give us solid basis
 to start from.

 Our Kick-off IRC meeting will take place this Sunday Jan. 8th
 on#sugar-meeting at 11:00amEST(16:00UTC),
 after the Design Meeting surrounding Write To Journal Anytime taking
 place at 10:00amEST.

 Please join us if you are available-our key shortcoming last year in our
 attempt was a lack of content to effectively
 create the new site. All help is Welcome and needed.

 Because this is in the Building and Design stage please email me at:
 jtis4...@hotmail.com to get links to the preview
 documents if you are interested in being part of the process.

 Our First Step is to give Christian the Thumbs Up/Make Enhancements to the
 Design.

 Our Second Step will look to get individual community members to take
 responsibility in Content Gathering Areas that flow out of
 the documents Christian has prepared.

 Our Third Step is to execute Content Gathering

 Upon receiving enough content Christian will then commence the build phase.

 We hope you can join us on Sunday and look forward to working with the
 community to do this important
 work. Please let us know of your interest in taking part in this important
 endeavor.

 Appreciate the Collaboration!
 John Tierney

 P.S. Please get into the hands of those who will be best able to
 assist-Thank You!
