Hi, Walter
Currently for GSOC and GCI, we tell applicants to create a development
environment. I think that is a mistake. One of the great strengths of
Sugar is that it is it's own development environment. For example, the
design of Sugar is that Browse as an activity can be installed directly
as an xo bundle with a version number independent of the Sugar version
number. This, of course, has two advantages - a new version of Browse
can be used on earlier versions of Sugar and the release of Sugar
provides the ability to execute Sugar activities but is not dependent on
them.
GCI can be a great opportunity to develop a Sugar release which can be
installed on standard PCs and supported by Sugar Labs. Possibly a
Debian release supported by Sugar Labs would be most flexible. In this
case there could also be SD card images which work on models of the
Raspberry Pi. Such a release could be enhanced by users working
independently and then submitting their working changes for
incorporation in future official releases.

Great news. Sugar Labs was once again accepted as one of the
organizations participating in Google Code In.
We have a few weeks to prepare. If you are interested in being a
mentor, please contact me and also please sign up at

If you have project/task ideas, please send them my way or add them to
the wiki page at
