[squeakland] ENC: stepping down from squeakland

[Marta Voelcker]

Hi Tim,

 

We had great achievements in 2009, I would like to thank you especially for
your efforts on organizing  Squeakfest Brasil 2009, for coming to Porto
Alegre to help me make it happen, and even for going to “Olimpico Soccer
Stadium” to cheer for  Gremio Soccer team, in a terrible cold night of
winter !!!!   I hope that Waveplace extends its activities to South America
soon, so  you come to visit us again!

 

I am sure we  will keep working together and strength partnerships among
organizations. As hardware gets less expensive, sooner or later laptops and
other kinds of technology  will arrive in schools all over. The need for
software, knowledge, materials  and  guidance is growing and getting more
evident, we all have tons of work  to help technology improve education and
children´s life,

 

A good energy for all!

 

Marta

Assunto: stepping down from squeakland

 

Hi everyone,

 

After much soul searching, I've decided to step down as director of
Squeakland Foundation.  

 

Since the earthquake in Haiti, my time has largely been spent on our
Waveplace education pilots there, which have been very successful and are
growing fast.  Last night I decided that I need to stay focused on Haiti and
our other Waveplace work, that I no longer have time for the additional
responsibilities of Squeakland.   I leave you in the very capable hands of
Rita Freudenberg and whomever the new board decides.

 

I still love Etoys, and will continue to teach it and promote it, though
this will now be through Waveplace, not Squeakland. What has been called the
"Squeakland Courseware" will now become the "Waveplace Courseware".   Same
stuff, different website. I will continue to fundraise for courseware
development, this will be through Waveplace now.  All materials will remain
freely distributable.

 

Immuexa, my software company, will continue to host and support the
Squeakland website and showcase for free.   Squeakland will now be our
client, as Viewpoints was before.

 

My very best to the many people I have meet in the last fifteen months.
Thank you for your passion, your time, your talent.   What a gift to work
with such incredible people!

 

Take care,

Tim
