Right now we don’t have anything scheduled yet so May 3rd is fine, however typically Open Spaces are only an hour long. We do not recommend reserving a 4 hour time slot. Also please note that I am happy to add your idea to the website but you will still have to officially schedule the Open Space by putting a card up on the Open Spaces board at PyCon.

Warm regards, Anna

Hi,

Please see the description for sugar labs below: SugarLabs https://sugarlabs.org/ is a volunteer-driven member project of , (a non-profit foundation to produce and distribute and support the use of free software). Originally part of the One Laptop Per Child project, Sugar Labs coordinates volunteers https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Getting_Involved around the world who are passionate about providing educational opportunities to children through the Sugar Learning Platform. Sugar Labs as a support base and gathering place for the community of educators and software developers who want to extend the platform and who have been creating Sugar-compatible applications.

<>Education Goals

Sugar is useful only to the extent it is used by the learning community. Thus, Sugar Labs is working with educators around the world to focus on these learning challenges:

To make Sugar and Sugar activities freely and readily available to learners everywhere To explore and share best practices To provide a forum for discussion and support for technology for learning

<>Technical Goals

Sugar supports the notions that learners should “share by default” and be able to “explore, express, debug, and critique.” Thus Sugar puts an emphasis on “activities” rather than “applications.” The foundation will focus on solving the challenges that are relevant to these aspects of the interface, namely:

To make it “simple” to share Sugar activities. This will require an architecture that allows discovery of activities. To create versions of Sugar that run on multiple operating systems and on multiple hardware platforms. It should be “simple” to install Sugar everywhere. Specifically, it means packaging for every distribution and every virtual machine—removing hardware-related dependencies wherever possible. To make it “simple” to write Sugar activities. This necessitates stable APIs and example code that uses these APIs. To make Sugar activities even more secure. Our principal user community is comprised of children; they must be protected from malware, phishing, botnets,
