<div class="">Chris Lindgren and I have a chapter coming out in a new book on “strategic discourse,” so the Sugar study is wrapped inside a debate about crisis discourse within our field (English studies). We do share some of what we learned from our 3 year-long
attempt to use Sugar on a Stick in an after school program at two elementary schools. The book is supposed to be available online next week at the Computers and Composition Digital Press website: </div>

As part of my research I have been looking for peer reviewed papers on Sugar. There is an extensive amount of literature on One Laptop per Child from 2007 and 2008 which trickles off to footnotes by 2015. I was unable to find any papers on Sugar or Sugar Labs.
To be fair, the effects of sugar on obesity dominated any search including the term sugar.?<br class="">

Hmm, don't want throw cold water on that, but reading<br class="">
http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-31834927<br class="">
looks like they already include something called Touch Develop,<br class="">
developed by .... Microsoft!<br class="">
Anyway, times changed (just a little) and is open source, and is in github<br class="">
https://github.com/Microsoft/TouchDevelop<br class="">
https://www.touchdevelop.com/<br class="">
<br class="">
They have a nice demo site here https://www.touchdevelop.com/app/<br class="">
but I couldn't understand how to program with the interface they propose.<br class="">
May be I am just too old :/<br class="">
Anyway there are interesting ideas, like the multiple representation of the<br class="">
code.<br class="">

Hi Caryl,<br class="">
Thanks for co-volunteering with me!<br class="">
<br class="">
As I see it, what needs to be done is:<br class="">
1- Tally up a list of current Sugar Members's emails (starting from<br class="">
here <http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Members/List>)<br class="">
2- Setup a survey to ask if they want to stay active, voting members<br class="">
(I propose to use the LimeSurvey software. Infrastructure team can set it<br class="">
up and it's easy to use.)<br class="">
3- Get familiar with Selectricity, our current voting mechanism. Get<br class="">
access to the voting machine.<br class="">
4- Improve the voting experience. For instance, *en espa?ol *instructions<br class="">
are a must in this community.<br class="">
5- Determine in consensus *when* an election will take place.<br class="">
<br class="">
If we can be formally appointed, I'm certain you will be able to<br class="">
contribute to every step of the process.<br class="">
<br class="">
