[Sugar-devel] Font Editor Activity [GSoC '16]

[Dave Crossland]

Hi Yash

Thanks for the blog post - I made a few edits directly to the formatting.

Walter said in the monthly update,

We'll be meeting as a group on Fridays at 12:00 UTC beginning in late May
on irc.freenode.net, #sugar-meeting. Feel free to join us.


Would be great if you can get the code in
https://github.com/sugarlabs/font-editor-activity/tree/master running in
your dev envirionment.

Let's meet tomorrow at that time in #sugar-meeting to discuss the next
steps :)
