Message-ID: Hola, I'm echoing on Walter's imperative to keep thinking about where Sugar should be headed. This is something that is always on the back of my mind yet I find difficulty in articulating a vision with a plan to get there. Still, this video I watched today reinforced some of my thoughts with important questions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDCV7p7lwFU The last bit of it seems to be speaking directly at Sugarlabs: *I think it's time to tie things back to that central question:* *How do we want our tools to shape us?* *What patterns do we want to emulate in order to draw ourselves closer to our ideal state?* *We are utterly steeped in the affordances designed by others. Why did they design them in that way? What were they thinking about? Were they thinking deeply at all?* *Or is the design we live with today just the best they could do under a deadline? Were they just trying to survive as a copy machine company in the digital age?* *How does that relate to our goals?to our vision?* *Our conceptual maps are filled with lines drawn by others.* *Why did they draw them there?* I'm cross-posting to Sugar-devel and IAEP for any discussions that may emerge both technical and educational. -- Sebastian Silva (?l / he) Jardinero de Sistemas -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
