===Sugar Digest ===

1. Five Google Summer of Code projects have been selected for 2009. We are
excited about all five proposals; our only regret is that we were unable to
accept any more of the promising proposals we received.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the selection process-the feedback
on the proposals from the community has been especially of great value.

To all of those who were not selected this year, we appreciate your efforts
and hope that you will be able to find time to participate in the Sugar Labs
community in some fashion this summer. We hope you'll reapply next year.

To those of you who were selected this year, both mentors and students,
let's converge on a regular weekly meeting time in IRC to exchange notes on
progress and problems. Individual teams should, of course, make arrangements
for regular meeting times as well. In general, let's continue to hang out on
#sugar, so that the developer community can stay abreast of what is
happening.

Kudos to Jamison Quinn for organizing our GSoC efforts and seeing to all of
the details. Finally, thanks once again to Google for this opportunity.

2. Caroline Meeks and I spent last Saturday at the Waltham YMCA where we
exercised Sugar on a Stick with children and their parents visiting the Y
for Healthy Kids Day. (I had to leave early to meet to attend to some sewer
problems-don't ask.) All in all, it was a great day.
