Walter has been administering [[Google Code In 2017|GCI 2017]], and
working on Music Blocks and Turtle Blocks.  James has been reviewing
pull requests, checking licensing, testing Sugar on Ubuntu 18.04 beta,
releasing Speak-55 and Read-118.1, and fixed a Paint activity empty
canvas.

Almost 400 students, how to make a pull request, some solid
contributions, some new activities.

We also talked about Cross-Platform development.  There are broken
JavaScript activities that don't run on Sugar desktop.  Contributions
are being wasted, and opportunity lost.  We had a Cross-Platform
environment.  We have attracted JavaScript Web developers instead of
JavaScript Cross-Platform developers.  We need Cross-Platform
developers to merge the diverged libraries, and apply Cross-Platform
practices to both libraries and activities.
