[ASLO] Hacking with Sugar in Paraguay

[Stephen Jacobs]

A rough draft of the second quarter syllabus can be found at http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/RIT/Honors_Seminar

I'll be spending the second half of march and most of April revising the syllabus and the course materials and will make them all available as a kind of "Course in a Zip" end of April beginning of May off of RIT and TOS websites.  Happy to talk with your profs Mid-March when I get back from the HFOSS symposium and the Game Developers Conference after 3/16
