At first, we thought of sharing several accomplishments throughout Google Code-In to keep the people in the loop on various social media platforms, as well as sharing experiences of Google Summer of Code students and their projects held in 2018 for a positive impact. </div><div><br></div><div>We thought we can go bigger and with that thought in mind represent Sugar Labs on larger platforms in front of communities. I proposed PyCon to be a great choice for the same. Considering OLPC represented XO laptops being part of PyCon 2008 (An article by <a href="http://www.olpcnews.com/use_cases/technology/pycon_2008_and_olpc.html" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">Tony</a>) Hence, we submitted a proposal for talks about Sugar Labs in the Education Summit of PyCon Cleveland 2019, and I am very happy to inform that we have in fact been selected. It's a great accomplishment for us all. </div><div><br></div><div>Samson would be representing our community at PyCon Cleveland. I, unfortunately, due to my university exams won't be able to go. As much as I loved drafting the proposal with Samson and be would like to meet and talk about Sugar Labs, I am happy that Samson has a chance to be at PyCon and will do great. We are still raw in your efforts and have lots to improve. Would love to have more suggestions on things we should be doing, and also planning to hold workshops regarding Sugar in many countries in the near future.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks, </div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="m_3628404297100546487m_8803089997040901326gmail-m_3085779356803277751m_-4959585331992630744gmail-m_2491347728337844206m_1536504953062632797m_8154027237197137620gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><font size="2">Cordially, </font></div><div><font size="2">Vipul Gupta </font></div><div><font size="2"><a href="https://mixstersite.wordpress.com/" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">Mixster</a> | <a href="https://github.com/vipulgupta2048" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">Github</a></font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div> _______________________________________________<br> Sugar-devel mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org</a><br> <a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel</a><br> </blockquote></div> </blockquote></div> </blockquote></div> </blockquote></div> </blockquote></div> _______________________________________________<br> Sugar-devel mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org</a><br> <a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel</a><br> </blockquote></div></div></div>
