Re: [Sugar-devel] Google Summer Of Code

[Walter Bender]

I echo Quozl's remark. Is this a Sugar or Sugarizer project. Also, I don't
understand what you are planning to do with Project Gutenberg. Maybe a
high-level block diagram of your design would help.

Hello,

Perhaps in your document the word Sugarizer should be Sugar?

Re: [Sugar-devel] Google Summer of Code Mentor Summit '17 Recap

[Samson Goddy]

Hello all,

It was indeed an interesting summit. Not just because it was my first time
in America, but i was able to meet with Michael and Cristina. Both of them
was awesome, we all supported and discuss Sugar to some folks in other
organizations.

I was able to meet with some folks on Oppia (an
Open Source Project where alot of educators hangout out and create
educational content), they are really interesting in making collaboration
with Sugar Labs and i believe it will be really awesome.

I was able to follow up Wolfgang from Catrobat at the Life Long
Kindergarten Group in at the MIT Media Lab. We discussed how Catrobat
project can be introduced in Sugar and Sugarizer.

Right now, i am still in Boston for some personal visits. I met with the
Scratch team and we discussed about Scratch 3.0 coming to Sugar and
Sugarizer. I already introduced Andrew (lead developer of the scratch 3.0)
into Sugar development team. He is on the mailing list(sugar-devel) and
making some research around sugar and sugarizer.

I also met with Bernie and Raúl. Unfortunately i didn't meet with Sameer
and OLPC SF team, there was fire around San Francisco which was really bad.

Just as Michael mentioned, we meet people(Karen and Brett) from SFC and
some projects under SFC too.

i will be heading back to Nigeria soon, but overall the Mentor summit was
fun and wonderful, it gave me the opportunity to meet with Cristina and
Michael(Both wonderful people).


Best Regards

Samson

I am interested in being a mentor. I probably will not have time for
administrator this summer.

My goal is to finish the summer with a completely functional, stable
(and fun, of course) Music Blocks, which I believe is doable. I am
continuing efforts (testing charts, final mockups, etc) to try to set us
up for success in this endeavor.

The admin role (we need two) is more about managing the logistics: ensuring
we are fulfilling all of our obligations as a participating organization in
terms of mentoring, reporting, etc.

Hello Walter,

I'm new to Sugar but have recently started working on contributions so
Sugarizer and also to Sugar.  I would like to be involved in Sugar's GSOC
this year as a mentor, or other.  I have the experience with Python and
JavaScript, just not with Sugar all this time until now.  What is involved
in being an administrator?

Thanks

I would like to add this to sugar-docs.  Here is a pull request:

https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-docs/pull/37

It adds a section "First steps" with subsections "Adding a button to
the toolbar" and "Adding HTML content dinamically".

Re: [Sugar-devel] Google Summer of Code Blog

[Walter Bender]

Having just gone through the process of writing my first JS Sugar
activity, I think it would be good to document a few things that I
found confusing. (Undoubtedly, much of my confusion stems from my
unfamiliarity with JS.) Maybe you can add these tidbits, refined, to
your blog:

(1) It wasn't clear to me how to add new buttons to the toolbar. I needed to:
* add the button to index.html

* define the button style in css/activity.css
#main-toolbar #new-button {
background-image: url(../icons/new-button.svg);
}
* add the callback to js/activity.js
var newButton = document.getElementById("new-button");
newButton.onclick = function () {
new_positions();
}

(2) I suspect this is usual stuff for JS programmers, but new to me: I
used handlebars.js to define templates for some labels I wanted to
position onto some graphics. Important for the dynamic allocation of
elements that I use in many activities.
* in index.html, I added a div to hold the elements I define from the template

* in js/activity.js:
// Create label elements for each of our dots
template = Handlebars.compile(labelSource);
var labelElem = document.getElementById("labelDiv");
var html = template({labels:arrLabels});
labelElem.innerHTML = html;

(3) For my graphics, I used Easeljs [1]. Pretty straight forward.
* Let me define graphical elements (i.e., sprites)
* and a canvas for drawing

Nice start, keep reports coming! And good explanation of our
framework.  If you think something deserves to be added to
http://developer.sugarlabs.org/ , send a pull request.

Don't worry about not being accepted at gnome planet.  Adding your
blog to sugarlabs planet as Walter said, is more important.

This remembers me the importance of exposing our work.  I should
report mine too.

As you probably have heard, we have 8 slots for GSoC. I'd like to have a
quick meeting Thursday evening on irc to discuss how we will get to our
final decision on students. Would 6pm EST (22UTC) work for everyone? We
need to keep this a private meeting for the moment, so let's agree to use
#sugar-gsoc on irc.freenode.net?

If you cannot attend, please send me any thoughts you'd like to share in

Re: [Sugar-devel] Google Summer of Code - Slots assigned

[Samuel Greenfeld]

If you want to do anything public discussing the Summer of Code proposals,
you need to be careful while doing so.

Google does not want students notified of acceptance or rejection until
they announce it for every student on Monday, 27 May.

The tracking system is setup so Sugar Labs can draft acceptance and
rejection notices within it for the students without making that
information public.

At this point (although unlikely) the number of slots still can change.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Google Summer of Code - Slots assigned

[Sebastian Silva]

Count me in!
Does the student get to decide who will mentor them when there is more 
than one mentor offering?

Sebastian

Hello list,

We have been assigned 8 slots for Google summer of code. We have 
received about 37 applications. Out of these around 20 applications 
are weak and we don't really need to care about those. We have around 
17 good enough applications and we need to cut down that to 8.


I think the best thing would be to just discuss this over an IRC meeting.

I don't really know how is one supposed to setup a meeting and how the 
timings are really decided. Maybe someone else can guide me on this?


We can host a meeting, invite all the possible mentors maybe even some 
students to add something if you need to and then make our decisions. 
How about it?

Sorry. I misread the email from Carol. We have more time for reviewing
applications. But we do need to decide on our amazing and desired
thresholds by tomorrow, so a first pass through the applications is
important. Thanks.

(1) be a member of the community
(2) be willing to put in a few hours a week (a bit more time in the
beginning) keeping tabs of progress
(3) have some familiarity with the task at hand

We try to have multiple mentors per project both to lighten the load
and being more eyes and ears to the tasks.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Google Summer of Code project ideas

[Jeff Elkner]

Wow, the list of proposals pretty well covers the things I'd like to
see happen as a classroom teacher!  I will be waiting with
anticipation for the Summer work to begin.

In order to contribute, I have a student this Summer who will be
completing his community college career studies certificate with a
course in Django application development.  I've already talked to him
about making something like a Turtle Blocks social networking site his
Summer project.  I see that is already one of the projects on the
list.  I'll be looking for help plugging him into this project as the
Summer approaches.

I may have been misinformed regarding mentors having to sign up
*before* our organization has been accepted. Still investigating. In

I am not sure how to find it. I think you just need to create an
account on Melange??? The documentation for GSOC is not exactly

Don't forget to call our text coloring engine to mark the word being
spoken. That's designed for the pre-literate, on the model of
Same-Language Subtitling in India.

yeah looks like, but assistive technologies could be a good point 
for sugar-0.86 anyway :)

chirag:
did you see StarDict http://stardict.sourceforge.net/ -- this dictionary
(in fact only shell for dictionaries) could use TTS to speech selected text --
when you selected any text and pressed special key(or mouse button)
stardict would popup window with translation and use TTS to pronounce it,
you could use this method.. or just sugarize StarDict :)

This feature doesn't seem solely intended solely as an assistive
technology.  But having a "buttonless" mode is a good idea.

I'm sure we should expand this simple idea to full-featured support
of assistive technologies in sugar

I've just started orca[1] and regular gnome-terminal.. and it doesnt
use any special buttons(in gnome-terminal) -- i think thats the way

It sounds like a good plan to me.  On my XO, build candidate-801 (8.2.1),
I can easily do:

yum install xclip
[select some text]
xclip -o | espeak --stdin

All you have to do is wrap this up in a frame device, like the volume
control or battery meter, and you're done!

Bonus: reimplement using pygst, the gstreamer speak plugin, and pyx11 or
libX11, so that xclip isn't needed and you don't need to spawn a new
process every time.

Agreed. However, I think that a relatively-skilled GSoC student could take
on one of the tasks I mentioned. Versioning could build on CScott's OLPCFS2,
which AFAIK works remarkably well; it really only needs an interface and
maybe a converter. Unit tests require a harness (and Sugarbot already
exists) and a couple of demo self-tests of the harness; the tests themselves
would be a separate story. Yet it is true, both of these would still be
ambitious, and would probably be scored down because of it.

I agree. The numbers are only a way of communicating, not a proposed system
for choosing.

As others have pointed out many times, the SoC projects that are least
likely to produce useful results are the ones that are the most ambitious.
 In particular, it is difficult to find SoC applicants who are ready to
make deep modifications to an existing codebase, or will be able to
architect complex software.  Remember, SoC applicants are mostly current
undergrads, so most have never participated in multi-person development
effort, or written anything larger than 1000 lines.

> 0-8 points: Proposal quality.

Maybe this problem is wrapped up in "Proposal quality".  If I were
designing a system to reflect my own internal judgment structure, I would
probably add another /multiplying/ factor, the estimated probability of
success (although I hope we can do selection without resorting to
numerical scores.)

Honestly, this is news to me. (and I am the co-administrator of the
Sugarlabs program). If I had to articulate my view of our priorities, it
would be something like the following:

7-10 points: Key sugar core improvements. Long-standing, important gaps like
versioning or unit-tests at the high end of this.
6-9 points: Activity frameworks to open new forms of activity development
(in descending priority: javascript/AJAX, swf, improved PyGTK tools such as
Develop activity, mono or java)
4-8 points: Core activities: For instance, Nepal has expressed the need for
an improved Read.
3-6 points: Quality non-core educational activities: a physics sim or other
creative idea.
0-8 points: Proposal quality.

In other words, an excellent proposal from a highly-qualified student could
very well make the cut, even if it were a non-core activity.

This is correct.

In general, sugar-core and toolchain development is a higher priority than
generative Activity development (Activities that lower the barrier to
Activity development). It's highly unlikely that non-generative Activity
development will be supported.

Yup, I remember that. :) We talked with Cjb about shuttling relevant apps
back and forth as needed - what we're doing right now is setting up
guidelines that will hopefully minimize the amount of sorting that's needed,
then waiting for students to come in, then sorting. Double-apping is not a
problem.
