Hi All<br><br>Just went on IRC channel - but no-one around - so I'll try here.<br><br>Steve Dalton here from Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. I'm an experienced developer - mainly C/C++/Java/Groovy - but also dabble with Ruby/Python, just starting out playing with Sugar development<br>
<br>I was kindly donated 5 XOs a while back and I have been trying to get a bit of a local OLPC developers group started here in QLD. Have young kids and my (almost) 4 year old is already getting stuck into Sugar and working things out which makes me think you guys are onto something really awesome - I'd love to help in some way.<br>
<br>Anyway - one way I think I might be able to stimulate some local activity is by doing some sort of live demo on developing with Sugar. I was hoping to demo something at Barcamp Brisbane next month and possibly something at the OSDC (Open Source Developers Conference) in Brisbane later this year if it works. I have made one of my paper submission for OSDC a Sugar one but It's sitting in my drafts folder until I can be sure I have something that has half a chance of working out (I like jumping in at the deep-end but don't want to make a complete fool of myself).<br>
<br>Does anyone have any good suggestions on what to do? I've done the Hello world demo and had a look at some of the activities already developed... but was hoping to do something a little more interesting with some "cool" value to get people interested. Are there any canned demos or tutorials around that anyone can recommend? Might give me some ideas.<br>
<br>Many thanks in advance<br>Steve<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>I did have a signature, but the dog ate it.<br><br>google:steve.dalton | skype:spidieman | msn: <a href="mailto:msn@steve.dalts.net">msn@steve.dalts.net</a> | yahoo:daltonsp | aol: spidie100 | twitter: @spidie | mynetfone:09203861<br>
