==Sugar Digest==

1. The Oversight Board election is underway. We have a very strong
candidate list that spans the breadth of the community. You should
have received a ballot by email. Please vote before 29 November. If
you registered to vote and for some reason you did not receive a
ballot, please let me know.

2. Tony Forster continues to add to the Using Turtle Art with Sensors
[[http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/TurtleArt/Using_Turtle_Art_Sensors]]
page in the wiki. Lots of great project ideas, ranging from making
graphs of various data to measuring water salinity to building a
carbon microphone. Check it out.

3. Alex Khitrik [[http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Alex Khitrik]] is
our new volunteer finance administrator volunteer. Alex has a passion
for transparency; as a first task, he will be making available all of
our financial data in the wiki.

4. Congratulations to Tabatha Roder and the NZ Testing Team who were
honored by the NZ Open Source Awards 2010. Tabatha and the Saturday
morning testers in Wellington and Auckland were recognized for their
contributions to Free Software in NZ.

5. We have had a flurry of new activities being contributed by
deployments. Ceibal Jam in Uruguay posted a number of their wonderful
activities on ASLO; Yader Velásquez, a volunteer from Nicaragua posted
a cool calendar activity (See
[http://yadervblog.drupalgardens.com/content/calendario-2-agendacalendar-sugar-activity-xo-and-fedora]);
and a 12-year-old student from Uruguay has posted two new activities:
an image viewer and a Python development environment. Meanwhile, ASLO
reports over 4.25 million downloads.

6. DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP, an international forum on development and
social inclusion through the use of ICT in Uruguay will be held on
29th and 30th November 2010 at the Uruguayan Laboratory of Technology
(LATU) in Montevideo, Uruguay.

===Tech Talk===

7. Aleksey Lim, Bernie Innocenti, et al. have completed the upgrade to
the Sugar Gitorious server. Please note that the IP address for
git.sugarlabs.org has changed to 18.85.44.120. And it has a new public
SSH key:

 4f:5e:5c:7f:ca:94:49:9d:2e:77:85:86:7c:de:56:f1

You will have to remove line with substring "git.sugarlabs.org" from
your ~/.ssh/known_hosts file and then reconnect to git.sugarlabs.org
in order to push changes to the server. (If you have trouble, check to
see if "ssh-keygen -F git.sugarlabs.org -l" matches the key above.)
