<div dir="ltr"><div><div><br>Hi All,<br><br>Ignacio and I recently
went to San Fransisco as our GCI 2014 prize [1]. San Francisco was a
beautiful city and seeing Google (and a little Mozilla and Twitter) was a
really amazing experience.<br><br>But it wasn't just about San
Fransisco. Walter was also in San Fransisco which was amazing [2]. It was
great to be chat sugar in real life with Walter and Ignacio. Despite
the very fun atmosphere of the trip, we even managed to hack together on
some productive things :) Walter and I hacked on the website a little
(I'll smooth the edges of that soon so we can push it), while Ignacio
and Walter jammed on turtlejs.<br><br>The Google Code In was a great competition and opportunity for me
(and probably many other participants) to become involved with open
source. Of course, thank you to Google for running it.<br><br>But
thank you very much to everyone who mentored us during the GCI. Thank
you to Gonzalo, Tch and Walter who hugely increased their code review
workloads to help teach us all how to participate in open source. Thank
you to everyone who made it possible that we didn't just make "software
for learning children" but also a "software by learning children",
because you guys teach us so much.<br><br></div>Thanks,<br></div>Sam<br><br>[1] <a href="http://people.sugarlabs.org/sam/gci2014-2.jpeg">http://people.sugarlabs.org/sam/gci2014-2.jpeg</a><br>[2] <a href="http://people.sugarlabs.org/sam/gci2014-1.jpeg">http://people.sugarlabs.org/sam/gci2014-1.jpeg</a><br></div>
